2018 Honda Accord

2018 Honda Accord LX The Revolutionary Rebirth of a Modern Classic The 2018 Honda Accord LX represents a bold new chapter for the worlds most recognizable sedan, debuting a complete ground-up redesign that earned it the prestigious North American Car of the Year award. This tenth-generation Accord trades the traditional sedan look for a sophisticated, fastback-inspired silhouette with a longer wheelbase and a wider stance. For Northwest Indiana drivers, this means a more planted feel on the highway and a significantly more spacious interior that rivals many full-size luxury cars. Under the hood, the 2018 Accord LX features a high-tech 1.5L Turbocharged VTEC 4-cylinder engine, delivering a spirited 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. This marked the first time the Accord came standard with turbocharged power, providing much more low-end punch for merging onto the Borman Expressway. Paired with a refined Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Accord LX achieves a remarkable EPA-estimated 38 MPG highway, making it one of the most efficient non-hybrid midsize sedans ever built. The LX trim was completely elevated for this generation, now including premium features as standard equipment that were once reserved for top-tier models: Honda Sensing Safety Suite: Every 2018 Accord LX comes standard with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, and Road Departure Mitigation. Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control: Ensures both the driver and front passenger stay at their perfect individual temperatures during unpredictable Indiana seasons. 7-Inch Color LCD Screen: A sharp, customizable interface that serves as the hub for your audio, vehicle settings, and the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera. LED Low-Beam Headlights: Provides superior nighttime visibility with a modern, high-end light signature and integrated LED Daytime Running Lights. Push Button Start: Adds a level of convenience and modern flair, allowing you to start the engine while keeping your keys in your pocket or bag. 17-Inch Silver-Painted Alloy Wheels: Replaces basic steel wheels with a more premium, lightweight design that enhances both style and handling performance. Auto High-Beam Headlights: Automatically toggles between high and low beams based on surrounding traffic, a major safety boost for dark rural roads in the Region. Traffic Sign Recognition: Uses a front-facing camera to detect speed limit signs and display them clearly on the digital driver information interface. The 2018 Honda Accord LX is the perfect choice for the driver who wants a vehicle that feels years ahead of its time, offering a massive cabin, sports-sedan handling, and a standard safety suite that remains a benchmark in the industry.
