What’s New for the 2022 Honda Accord?
The Honda Accord enters its fifth year of production since a complete redesign for the 2018 model year. After a freshening for 2021, the 2022 Accord sees few changes. The most notable one is a new Hybrid Sport trim level that gives buyers who like the standard Sport model’s 19-inch wheels and competitive price a more fuel-efficient alternative.
Honda Accord Competitors for 2022
Because many consumers increasingly choose crossover SUVs as their favored mode of transportation, the midsize sedan segment is shrinking. The Accord, however, remains a popular choice for people who still want a traditional four-door family car. Primary rivals include the Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry. The Accord also competes against the Chevrolet Malibu, Subaru Legacy, and Volkswagen Passat.
