2023 Honda Accord Touring Vs. 2023 Nissan Altima SR Turbo - Redline: Comparison Test

Family sedans aren't dead! Despite everyone buying SUV's, both #Honda and #Nissan are introducing all-new or significantly updated versions of the #Accord and #Altima. While Honda goes with the electrified route with the redesigned #HondaAccord #Hybrid, the #NissanAltima fights back with a 2.0L turbo engine and available AWD for the base 2.5L engine. For around $35,000 dollars, which family sedan is the better buy? Special thanks to ‪@BernonCars‬ for joining us to pick a winner between these two stalwart players.

The Altima is more stylized but the cohesive and upscale design and feel of the Accord wins me over.

That's what Nissan and Kia does. They know they can't compete with Honda and Toyota with overall quality and reliability, so they try to grab sales with styling.

[@rogerspalding5673]

Nissan has proven that there's no school like the old school. Honda's miniscule 1.5 liter turbo or it unbelievably stupid hybrid have taken the Accord right out of the market shopped by any enthusiast. The old 2.0 liter turbo was a decent engine about which a sport minded Accord owner could feel good. Not any more. I refuse to have phony science shoved down my throat by people who think they know better than I do about what I want to drive. Nissan stomps on Honda with its much larger turbo engine which is actually fun to drive. What Nissan should do is bring back its V6 to complement it 4 cylinder turbo. Horsepower, Torque and driving enjoyment can be found in the Nissan. Not in the Honda.

Hondas are so good, you have to really decide if it’s worth getting an Acura. Meanwhile, there’s a vast difference between a Toyota and a Lexus or a Nissan to an Infiniti And 40 inches in the rear seat of a midsize sedan is very impressive. That’s more than some crossovers

[@daviyen]

Altima SR VC-Turbo combined fuel economy: 29 mpg. Accord Touring Hybrid combined fuel economy: 44 mpg. Current price of regular gasoline for Pasadena, CA: $4.49 (ARCO). The amount I would save on gas seems much more significant then the amount of time I could save going 0-60. Especially since I spend most of my time driving in a city environment rather than highway driving.

[@MrGutaro]

I have a 2020 Altima Platinum trim. It does have memory seats and an auto dimming rearview mirror. I'm not sure what the deal is with the 2023 model year of the Altima but I would imagine you can buy a trim level that does include those features. Just something to point out.
