The 10th-generation Honda Accord is almost here with new looks and plenty of fresh tech, along with a revamped powertrain lineup. The 2018 model will sport some aggressive new styling and a fastback bodystyle, one aimed at maximizing interior space while offering a more modern look. The Accord has a lot to live up to -- and competitors still ready to try to steal its lunch. How will the latest iteration of one of the best-selling cars in America set itself apart from its predecessor? The V6 is out and the I4 is in: A new turbocharged 1.5-liter will be the base engine, churning out 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. A beefier choice will be a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 252 hp and 278 lb-ft of torque -- this model replaces the V6. That's fewer horses than the 3.5-liter V6, but it's still in the neighborhood when it comes to power and actually makes more torque.
The demise of the V6 was inevitable; inline-fours are now cranking out comparable figures with the help of turbochargers, so a drop in displacement for the base engine is not a surprise. Both engines will offer the option of a six-speed manual transmission, but we have a feeling that the continuously variable automatic transmission will be popular on the base 1.5-liter model. The 2.0-liter engine, meanwhile, will have the option of a new 10-speed conventional automatic. That's right -- 10-speed is the new nine-speed. The 2018 Accord will have a wider stance and a longer wheelbase (stretched by 2.1 inches), but the car's overall length will shrink a bit, as will its height. The fact Honda also shaved off the front and rear overhangs will improve driving dynamics, and an extra 2.5 inches of rear legroom for rear seat passengers is another benefit of the longer wheelbase. This should help the Accord feel better planted on the pavement, reducing nosedive during braking and smoothing out the highway ride quality.
