• Ample cargo space

The Civic Sedan has five trims to choose from, while the Accord Sedan has six trims. We chose to compare the base, automatic trims of each. While these sedans share many features, they do have their differences too.

Which Honda Sedan Should You Take Home?

With such great options, it can be hard to pick between the Civic and Accord. In general, though, the new Honda Civic will appeal more to Seattle University or University of Washington students, Seattle commuters, and those looking to save money on a car and at the gas pump. On the other hand, the new Honda Accord is more ideal as a family sedan with more room and more power, though it comes at a slightly higher price. Looking for an Accord with fuel economy specs more comparable to the Civic? You may want to turn to the 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid.
