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.

I always wanted to find out if the touring model had the same mechanical damping for driving. I there any difference in the way they feel when driving?

[@Back_door_bandit_98]

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

[@DarrinLintz710]

Definitely feel a difference in sport in a Touring with the suspension

Huge difference imo (I’m coming from a base model optima to the touring)

Excellent review of differences!! Once you see these body styles in person it will grow on you! I Just brought a black 2019 sport and I love it!

Honda Accord is now made 100% in Ohio USA! So no bs about it being a Japanese car anymore!

[@michaeltabor9596]

Dante E I agree I’ve always had Honda’s (Then I tried to be a good American) Got a Cadillac ATS Gone Through more tires & issues in 3 years then with accords in the last 20 years combine Never again

[@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

[@mrpaidfour5009]

Touring is the best of both worlds!

[@living4christ]

I dont think the touring is worth all that extra money, I would go for the sport.

So is there any difference in body style in all three including the ELX model are they all the same body

[@isaacvl95]

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

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

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

[@joelozano7254]

Just leased the 1.5 Touring. Not because I liked it but, because I got a crazy good lease price. I actually thought the car was going to be better than it is. My other car is Genesis g80 let me just say these should not be compared. Genesis truly does everything better by far. The G80 is a 50k car that feels like a 70k car while my Honda accord feels like a 20k car with 15k worth of extras that are not executed as well. The Honda Touring is a 35k car it should feel more substantial. If the lease price wasnt so good I would have picked up a rear wheel drive KIA Stinger. Those start at around 32k. Simply a way better car. I have to say the accord does have pretty much everything and then some. The engine and suspension are on point and even the CVT is ok. Honda infotainment is lacking it relies on android auto and apple car play to be decent. The premium audio system is awefull, it shouldnt even be in the base model. The interior looks great but is lacking in that it doesnt feel solid, brand new and squeeks and rattles are apperant. If you get a model in the mid 20k range its probably worth it. Overall I cant say im not impressed. Before getting this car I watched many reviews and they were all great, I can't say I agree.

[@armando7257]

35k and 50k is a huge difference. That’s damn near 1/2 more for the accord. Glad you like the Korean brand tho

[@ohhchuta]

sooo whats the sport button for on sport then? if theyre all same HP

[@Issa82]

Does the sport trim drive different then the touring model?

[@MrSamuelCaballero]

Thanks for the video you should do one with honda sensing working

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

Thanks for watching. I do have a few videos on the Honda Sensing. I have not done one on the 2018 Accord yet, but most of it is the same as in the other Honda models with Sensing. Feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out the other videos.

[@jimmyr1683]

Can u put sport wheels on touring model?

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

They are the same size wheels and tires, so yes.

[@MarcoGiudice]

@Dell honda..... I don't think that's what he was asking or what he meant! Some dealer's will swap out the Sport model rims and throw them on the Touring or EX model for you. Do not all of them cuz now they have to sell a Sports model with uglier rims. Unless you pay extra and buy that rim package!

[@maliquechante2205]

You said the sport does not have a touchscreen? The sport has the same touch setup as the ex minus Sirius satellite radio

[@DellaHondaPlattsburgh]

I was thinking of the LX model when I said that. Yes, the Sport does have a touchscreen. Thanks for watching.

[@ULSB1969]

On the touring 2.0t the highs and mids are very good, but it needs more bass, that 8 inch sub just does not thump at all

[@francisomonroy4620]

Daetron Sanders No Apple Car play or Android Auto on any Toyota, So no it doesn't blow it out of the water.

[@daetronbeverage-sanders5348]

Franciso Monroy Android auto and Apple CarPlay has nothing to do with the wattage of a sound system. That is just a format to project. You have a 400 watt system compared to a 900 watt, it certainly does blow it out of the water. What does a format have to do with wattage?

[@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]

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!

[@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.
