2018 Honda Accord Sport, EX, Touring comparison

A comparison of the 2018 Honda Accord Sport, EX, and Touring 1.5L Turbo models. Contact Brian, Your Honda Connection, with any questions. 518-563-7686 [e-mail] DELLA Honda 702 Route 3 Plattsburgh, NY 12901

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

EDIT: The 2018 Accord Sport does have a touch screen. It is the LX model that does not. The Touring does also have heated rear seats. The buttons are on both rear doors.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

Yes, the Sport model does have Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

[@Drskopf]

Does the sport model has rear AC and Heat Vents for the back seat?

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

Drskopf The EX model is the first one to have rear seat vents for heat and AC.

[@Spikejou]

Michael - Any car with directional designed wheels have one side 'spinning forward' and other side 'back', because they are the exact same rims. If they had to design one side of the car's rims different than the other side it would cost more and be impractical (can't rotate wheels). And yes go look at the 2018 TT RS with the 20" rims, they do the same thing.

I just picked up the 2.0t EX-L with the 10 speed auto transmission. I absolutely love this car. Amazing value. And damn she will flat haul ass. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Whoever says you can’t have both fuel economy and power never heard of the 2.0t Honda engine. 34 mpg on my last 3 hour trip running 80 mph on I-40.

[@VSBHRhianna]

I bought a 2018 Honda Accord Sport in Platinum White Pearl about a month ago. I love it. I chose it over the EXL trim.

[@UncannyEra]

Why did you choose it over the Ex-L?

[@VSBHRhianna]

Paul Johnson the EX-L has this wood grain paneling that doesn’t compliment the car. I just couldn’t over look it. We look at the dash/interior of the car majority of the time. Just couldn’t settle. May seem minor but it’s just terrible looking

[@gxer87]

The exl has way more features than the sport. imo

[@VSBHRhianna]

David Cerna which is true. But I just couldn’t get past the dash wood paneling that wraps the front or smaller Wheels

[@MarcoGiudice]

@@gxer87 I went with the sport model instead of the EX and Touring, cuz the Sport is the only trim that comes with the Still Night Pearl Blue color and the rims on the sport are the best looking ones than EX and Touring! All the extra features were things I'd rarely to never use!

[@katadel2629]

Wow Honda is really making a progress,,,i love it.

[@RichL57]

I have the 2018 sport in white and I never loved a car so much in my life. What u get for the price is great plus the new body model makes it look like a upscale luxury car I love it. Ps. The sport does have the touch screen with apple and android play too

[@bilalfaisal9699]

can u make a video comparing their sound systems?

[@sjp3042]

Do you think you should have mentioned the paddle shifters in the sport and touring models. The EX also has sport mode, but operated by the shifter.

[@GODGOTME3927]

The touring does have heated back seats 💺

[@murdocmcoy1806]

What is the difference between the touring in the sport when it comes to speed in the engine and the gas mpg

[@kakiharatempura7219]

Love the new Accord. Looks like an Audi S7. Car is a blast in the 2.0t sport 6spd. Lots of fun and underrated power wise. With a tune these things will make close to 290/hp and over 350 ft/lb's of torque(122 ft/lb's more than the 9th gen V6). Not bad for a family sedan. The fact that you can fit normal sized human beings in the back now is nice as well.

[@chrisc8774]

Time flies this same review with the 2016 accord s which I bought now on to these in another year they will have the new models line up and this will be a thing of the pass

[@SDBROOKS08]

Only problem I see is Honda is offering premium audio. That feature alone would make me walk away from any car.

[@Issa82]

Does the sport trim drive different then the touring model?

Is it possible to add the silver streak on the Sport Model?

So which trim has rear heated seats ? And does the touring only have the wireless charging pad ?

Hi Brian, Please describe a difference in audio system between these three? Overall sound quality? Loudness difference between three? Thank you.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

The Sport and EX have a 180-watt system with 8 speakers. The Touring has a 450-watt system with 10 speakers. They both have the display audio touchscreen.

Does it come with a hud as well as heated rear seats?

[@kaceydillin7367]

I own a red 2018 1.5t Accord Sport. You missed the biggest feature difference in this comparison. Surprised to not even see it mentioned in the comments. 1.5t and 2.0 Sport are the ONLY trims you can get manual transmission. I highly recommend manual transmission. Absolute joy to drive.

[@living4christ]

I got a 19 sport 1.5 manual last week. Yep its fun to drive. I do not think the touring is worth all that extra money. Its still the same car with a few fancier features.

[@kaceydillin7367]

The Cookster for me, the extra that touring provides just isnt worth the money. Manual transmission for me is a must have. Hope you enjoy yours ❤️❤️❤️

[@YOLO_LLT]

Can they add blind spot monitoring feature on sport 1.5?

[@juanmontes7878]

Crazy 4 years later these cars are literally the same price. Used.

Yes the touring when you switch it to sport mode it has the adaptive suspension the other models do not

Where are the electronic transmission modes ?? I thought those came in the Touring or was that only for the concept they shown ??

All of the 2.0L models with the 10 speed auto transmissions will have the push button shift. The 1.5L CVT models all have shift lever.

[@ISAAC.LV5]

For the sport is there an option to choose a manual transmission?

Yes. You can get a 6 speed manual in both the 1.5T and 2.0T Sport models. Thanks for watching!

Sport takes the cake for sure

[@aaronspringborn34]

Great video. Question. Why are the LX's, EX's and the EX-L's have 33 MPG but Sport and Touring s get 31 MPG? Rumor is because of dual exhaust. Is that true? I think it is because of wheel base.

[@lwglwglwg]

Sport and Touring have wider tires. Better handling but lower fuel economy.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

I have not heard an answer from Honda on that. But the Sport and Touring do have wider tires. That could be the reason. Wider tires create more friction. All of the Accords have duel exhaust, so that would not be it. I wonder if the CVTs are tuned a little different in the Sport and Touring models.

[@aaronspringborn34]

Thank you for that answer.

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

I also noticed the the Sport and Touring models do not have the active shutter grill system. So that might also account for the lower MPG.

[@Drskopf]

DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh can you explain what shutter grill is? Thanks

[@ronaldk.wileyjr.5476]

The 2.0 sport...?

[@EagleEye64274]

What's the difference between the sport button on the sport model and the sport mode on the shifter in the EX model?

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

Moving the shifter into "S" make the throttle response a little better and makes the transmission operation more aggressive. Letting the RPMs go up higher and aiding in quicker acceleration/better responsiveness. The Sport button makes the dampers become firmer for flat cornering, the Electric Power Steering provides a more direct linear feel, Agile Handling Assist becomes more aggressive in the corners, throttle response is more aggressive, the transmission’s shifting is quicker, and Active Sound Control gives the Accord a sportier exhaust note.

[@crazyizzy3609]

The touring DOES have rear heating seats.

[@bwilliam4023]

I think touring model has full brake lights (all part of brake light lights up at night) but other models only lights partial. Is this true

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

The tail lights look to be the same on all the Accord models. At lease for the U.S. market.
