2021 Honda Accord vs 2020 Honda Accord
Serving Mt. Juliet, TN
The Honda Accord has rightfully garnered ample attention from local car shoppers for decades. Through its evolution across ten generations, the Accord has consistently maintained its appeal. Now that you have your mind focused on buying a new sedan, you need to understand the many updates that the 2021 Honda Accord benefits from. After you explore differences between the 2020 Honda Accord and the updated 2021 version, which Accord will you pick out from our Music City Honda inventory?
Performance
The 2020 and 2021 Honda Accord sedans are available in six trim levels, but Honda has updated the new model year’s trim options. The 2021 Accord Sport SE has replaced the 2020 Accord EX. The LX, Sport, Sport SE, and EX-L trim levels are equipped with an I-4 turbo engine that produces 192 horsepower. The Hybrid and Hybrid EX trim levels mate an I-4 engine with an electric motor to generate 143 horsepower. The manual transmission that was standard in a few of the 2020 Accord trim levels is gone. The 2021 Accord has a continuously variable transmission tied to both engine options.
Appearance
The Accord is a solid choice for local drivers who want a sedan that balances modern appeal with a hint of athleticism. In 2020 and 2021, the Honda Accord has a confident profile with a modestly tapered nose and a rolling roof. For 2021, the front end has been refreshed. It now has a stunning chrome accent bar that runs along the front end’s entire length on top of the grille and headlights. Below this bar, a thicker bar in the grille holds the Honda logo and is integrated with the triangular, multi-elemental headlights. The horizontal bar theme that starts at the top of the 2021 Accord’s nose carries through the grille. The round fog lamps sit in sporty ports on the lower sides of the front end.
