•2018 North American Car of the Year continues to offer exceptional blend of performance, comfort, tech and style
•Accord Hybrid delivers best-in-class power plus cabin and cargo space in addition to outstanding fuel efficiency
The 2019 Honda Accord lineup begins arriving at dealer showrooms across the country on Thursday, Nov. 1 with a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $23,7201 (excluding $895 destination and handing). Labeled as 'America's Best Sedan' by Car & Driver magazine in 2018, the 10th generation Accord delivers exceptional performance and refinement by way of three powerful-yet-efficient powertrains including Honda's unique two-motor hybrid system. Further bolstering Accord's award-winning status is a rigid, lightweight and tightly sealed body, remarkably quiet cabin, and innovative in-vehicle technology, such as available Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM integration.




Connectivity
Connected-car technologies available on the 2019 Accord include a 7-inch digital TFT driver's meter (standard), an 8-inch, high-resolution Display Audio touchscreen with an intuitive smartphone-like layout and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration (Sport and above trims). Additional available features consist of a 6-inch head up display (HÚD), automatic Bluetooth® phone pairing, wireless device charging and next-generation HondaLink™ Assist with available 4G LTE in-car Wi-Fi and smartphone-controlled remote engine start.

Powertrains
Standard motivation for the 2019 Accord comes from a turbocharged 1.5-liter, DOHC direct-injected inline 4-cylinder engine with a peak output of 192 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque (both SAE net). Stepping up to the optional 2.0T VTEC Turbo® inline-4 provides performance-minded buyers with 252 peak horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque (both SAE net). Accord Hybrid is powered by the third generation of Honda's sophisticated two-motor hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC® Atkinson-cycle inline-4 engine to an electric propulsion motor that churns out 232 lb.-ft. of torque for a class-leading total system output of 212 horsepower. As before, the Accord two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com)



Range-topping Accord Touring trims take it one step further with the HondaLink™ telematics system, which allows drivers to lock and unlock doors from virtually anywhere via their smartphone. Additional HondaLinkTM subscription services include automatic emergency calling, stolen-vehicle tracking, automatic collision notification, and enhanced roadside assistance.

Manufacturing
All 2019 Accords for the Ú.S. market are manufactured at Honda's Marysville, Ohio auto plant using domestic and globally-sourced parts. All three engines – 1.5T, 2.0T and a 2.0L Atkinson cycle for the Accord Hybrid – are produced at the nearby Anna, Ohio engine plant, Honda's largest engine plant globally. The 10-speed automatic transmission is manufactured by Honda in Tallapoosa, Georgia. Honda has hired nearly 300 new associates and invested more than $267 million in new manufacturing technology in its Ohio plants for production of the 10th generation Accord and its engines.
