2019 Honda Accord EX-L 2.0T

The 2019 Accord is a midsize sedan that takes on the Camry, Altima, and Sonata with a sharper look and a more engaging drive. The Accord feels lighter and more responsive than its size suggests, with steering that is accurate and a chassis that stays composed on back roads. Inside, the cabin is roomy and logically laid out, with comfortable seats and a clean design that makes the Accord feel more upscale than its price. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and Honda Sensing driver aids are included across the lineup for added safety. Honda's reputation for dependability carries over to the Accord, though some owners have noted occasional infotainment glitches. The EX-L 2.0T adds leather upholstery, a power passenger seat, and a moonroof over the Sport 2.0T, keeping the same punchy engine. Its 2.0L I4 makes 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic that shifts quickly and keeps the engine in its sweet spot on the highway, earning 34 mpg highway. The 2.0T's extra torque makes merging and passing effortless, though the ride is a touch firmer than the hybrid versions to sharpen handling.
