Midsize sedans are among the best-selling family vehicles on the market. While the segment is extremely competitive, the 2019 Honda Accord remains a step ahead of the competition. Drivers appreciate the Accord’s exceptional safety scores, sporty performance, and outstanding everyday comfort. Let’s see how the 2019 Honda Accord compares to the 2019 Nissan Altima.
Performance
Both cars come standard with an efficient four-cylinder engine. While the Honda Accord’s turbocharged 1.5-liter engine develops 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque, the Nissan Altima’s naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine produces 188 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. When running errands and commuting throughout the week, you’ll certainly appreciate the Accord’s extra punch under the hood. Furthermore, only the Accord can be equipped with an exciting manual gearbox. If you desire more performance, step up to the Accord’s 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Honda tuned it to develop an exciting 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet. This is more power than you get with the Nissan Altima’s optional engine, which produces 236 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.
Interior
Like most drivers who have a family, you probably consider passenger room to be a big factor. The 2019 Honda Accord is among the roomiest cars in the segment. While the 2019 Nissan Altima offers plenty of space for front-seat occupants, there’s not as much room for your backseat passengers to stretch out. When sitting in the Accord’s rear seat, passengers will enjoy an extra 5.3 inches of legroom. This is a major benefit for the drivers who have adult-sized family members. There’s also an additional 1.3 cubic feet of cargo space in the Accord’s trunk. Both the Accord and Altima come standard with popular features like Bluetooth connectivity and a touch-screen display. However, only the Honda Accord offers the enhanced comfort of ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. An available heads-up driving display gives the Accord yet another advantage over the Altima.
Features
These are two of the most secure cars in the class. Excellent impact protection enables your family to ride with an extra peace of mind. The 2019 Honda Accord and the 2019 Nissan Altima were both chosen as a Top Safety Pick** by the IIHS. While the Altima comes standard with automatic emergency braking, you’ll find an even greater number of standard driver-assist technologies on the Accord. Honda Sensing includes lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and road departure mitigation.
Although the 2019 Nissan Altima is a solid family sedan, it’s outclassed by the 2019 Honda Accord. You’ll appreciate the Accord’s more powerful engine lineup, standard Honda Sensing safety package, and roomier interior design.
