The KBB “5-Year Cost to Own” Award
Kelley Blue Book® is a valuable resource for drivers seeking out their next car by providing insight into the top models out on the market. It also rates vehicles and offers awards based on a variety of factors.
The “5-Year Cost to Own” award carefully measures a few factors with vehicles to determine the overall cost over the course of five years.
These factors include the MSRP, insurance, financing rates, and automotive service. It then calculates the depreciation value and comes up with a price of what it will cost over the next few years. The Honda Accord came in at the lowest in the midsize sedan category.
Honda Accord Specs & Features
The Honda Accord comes equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that’s mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and is able to boast 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The CVT is known for executing smooth acceleration and direct-gear transitions that result in a more efficient performance.
The cabin offers plenty of amazing features to its driver and passengers. It includes the 7-inch touchscreen display that you can use to select your media options. Opting for the next trim level will add features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which will integrate your phone into the touchscreen, so you can stay connected at all times from the road.
One of the major components that appeals to most drivers is the inclusion of Honda Sensing® as a standard feature. This system uses exterior-mounted sensors that will measure the distance from objects ahead and the Accord’s rate of approach to determine the likelihood of a collision or lane departure.
These features include the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, and more!
