2018 Nissan Altima vs. 2018 Honda Accord

The Altima and Accord are both well-rounded five-passenger sedans that cover the basics well with features like Bluetooth^® phone connectivity, cruise control, a rearview camera, keyless entry, and push-button start. Unlike the Accord, though, the Altima also gets the following standard features:

• Intelligent Key
• Cargo tie downs
• 60/40 split-folding rear seats
• CD player
• Auxiliary audio input
• Siri^® Eyes Free
• Illuminated glove box
• Tire specific low tire pressure warning

If you’re looking for a midsize car with a capable V6 engine, the Nissan Altima is the only one of these models to go with, as Honda dropped its V6 from the lineup.

• Nissan Altima – Opt for the Altima’s naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 engine and you’ll get a total output of 270 hp.
• Honda Accord – The most power available on the Accord is from a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that only makes 252 hp and lacks the composure of the Altima’s V6.

Starting Price

While the above advantages might be enough in their own right, the Altima is also the more affordable of the two sedans:

• Nissan Altima – MSRP from $23,140
• Honda Accord – MSRP from $23,570
