The Honda Accord has been named a 2022 Car and Driver 10Best pick, marking the 36th time Accord has made the prestigious list and at least one Honda has earned a spot on the annual list since the award’s inception in 1983.

“What makes our award different is that a vehicle can earn and then maintain a position on the list year after year. A 10Best nod also ensures that the cars and trucks so honoured aren’t just the best of what’s new but the best of what’s for sale for less than our base-price cutoff of $90,000.

For two full weeks, former winners face new cars and trucks. After driving, probing, climbing into third rows, opening trunks, learning infotainment systems, doing instrumented testing, and taking diligent notes, we score each vehicle on a 100-point scale. The cars and trucks that emerge all have something unique, a special power that makes them better than the rest”

“Year after year we find ourselves recommending the Honda Accord to friends and family looking for a fun-to-drive, safe and fuel-efficient sedan,” said Eddie Alterman, Chief Brand Officer of Car and Driver. “Refined, dynamically engaging and affordable, the 2022 Honda Accord is the benchmark of the midsize sedan class. Congratulations to Honda on Accord’s impressive winning streak.”

“At Honda, we have long appreciated Car and Driver’s recognition of its own core values in our Honda Accord –intelligence, irreverence and independence. It helps that Accord also happens to be fun-to-drive, safe and fuel-efficient,” said Michael Kistemaker, assistant vice president Honda National Sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Thank you to the editors of Car and Driver for honoring the Accord for a record 36th year. It never gets old.”

“The supervillains of everyday life lack pizazz. The Commute and the Last-Minute Carpooler don’t strike the same fear as the Joker or Dr. Doom, but like an evil plot, a dull drive or a cramped car can lead to creeping despair. The Honda Accord might look similar to other boring sedans, yet driving it is a revelation.” —Elana Scherr, caranddriver.com

Setting the bar for the midsize sedan segment, Accord blends dramatic exterior design and a class-above interior with top-class refinement and driving dynamics. A trio of powerful and fuel-efficient powertrains are available, including a 192-horsepower (SAE net) turbocharged 1.5-litre with CVT, a 252-hp (SAE net) 2.0-liter turbo with 10-speed automatic, and a 2-motor hybrid powertrain which offers a best-in-class 212 total system horsepower and a 48 mpg combined EPA rating. Every Accord also comes standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies.

“The reason the Accord keeps racking up 10Best trophies—36 of them—is that it’s the perfect tool for the job. It balances power, fuel economy, and handling in a way that punches out of the family-sedan segment.

Reliable and trustworthy, the Accord has your back. Can a vehicle be empathetic? No, but its builders can, and Honda designed a package that recognizes the needs of the average driver, meets them, and then goes after the desires of the enthusiast. Our notes on the Accord are mostly variations on a theme about its composed ride quality and unflustered cornering. We can’t really call this unexpected, since we’ve been delighting in refined and practical Accords for decades. It remains the undercover sports sedan—there’s soul beneath that four-door exterior.

Such is the Accord’s basic goodness that your latent driving enthusiasm will wake up. But if the performance doesn’t get you or there’s too much traffic, the easy-to-use infotainment system comes standard with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The Accord might look mild mannered, but in the occasional moments between family hauling and freeway crawling, it dons a cape as soon as you want it to transform.”– caranddriver.com
