Why 2019 Honda Accord vs 2019 Nissan Altima - Lumberton Honda
View Inventory2019 Honda Accord Vs 2019 Nissan Altima
The Honda Accord has a very long and successful history. Of course, the boxy shape is long gone, and the interior now comes with plenty of high-tech gadgetry. The same could be said of most competing models in the mid-size sedan class, but these competitors haven't enjoyed the sales success and customer satisfaction the Accord has brought to attention year after year. The 2019 Honda Accord is part of the 10th generation of this model introduced just last year, so there aren't many feature upgrades. That's okay, because what one gets for the money is truly impressive.
A worthy competitor in this segment is the Nissan Altima. For some time, this model was falling behind the competition in several key categories. The all-new 2019 Nissan Altima promises to change that, but even this new model appears to fall a bit short of the Honda Accord in the areas of interior design, powertrain and performance, utility specs, and standard safety equipment. Below, a more detailed comparison follows as a comparison of the 2019 Honda Accord vs 2019 Nissan Altima. To see how the 2019 Accord scores well in all departments, schedule an inspection and test drive at Lumberton Honda, the dealership located near Fayetteville and Wilmington.
Interior - 2019 Honda Accord in Lumberton
The Accord has always boasted a nicely designed, soft-touch interior with plenty of space for items storage. The 2019 model has a huge cabin with lots of back-seat headroom and legroom. The huge windshield makes for excellent forward visibility, and drivers have plenty of adjustability to play with in determining the proper seat height and position. The materials quality is above-average for a mid-size sedan in this price range. The forward control layout is easy to understand and navigate. The base trim LX comes with push-button ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a height-adjustable driver's seat.
High-tech goodies include a four-speaker audio system with a USB port, Bluetooth, a 7-inch screen display, and a complete interface for data storage and retrieval. The uplevel Sport trim gets a power-adjustable driver's seat, a larger screen display, smartphone app integration, and an eight-speaker audio system. The high-end trims add on leather upholstery, a premium audio system, and a head-up display.
The 2019 Altima has been redesigned, and there are a few notable upgrades to the interior, but the materials quality lags behind what is found inside the Accord. There are too many hard surfaces, and there's very little in the way of excitement in terms of visual interest. The cabin is a bit more squarish than the Altima cabin, and the forward control layout is somewhat squished together. The base trim does come with smartphone app integration and a large screen display, but the system isn't as easy to navigate as the one inside the Honda Accord. Serving Lumberton Fayetteville Wilmington and other nearby communities, the Lumberton dealership is stocked with all trims of the current Honda Accord sedan.
Powertrain - Honda Accord specs in Lumberton
Two engines are available on the new 2019 Accord. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.5L that produces a total of 192 horsepower. The engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission that sends the power to the front wheels. This engine is available on all trims except the Touring. The Touring model gets a 2.0L turbocharged engine that delivers a total of 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine is an option on the Sport and EX-L trims. Buyers get a 10-speed automatic transmission with this engine.
Performance is remarkable, with quick, smooth acceleration and excellent braking. The drivetrain is quick to respond, and handling is superb. Drivers will feel virtually no roll or drama when taking the high-speed turns. The Touring trim comes with multilink adaptive suspension. Most CVTs are noisy and tend to balk, but this one upshifts regularly when necessary to improve fuel efficiency, and it does so quietly.
The 2019 Nissan Altima now comes with the choice of two engines as well. The two engines have similar horsepower ratings as the engines on the Accord, but the suspension system is not the most reliable when it comes to keeping the vehicle level around turns. All-wheel drive is optional on the Altima but curiously isn't available with the larger engine.
