Despite many changes that have occurred in the past few years, the midsize sedan segment has remained one of the most popular for drivers in San Benito, TX. These sedans are perfect for everyday commuters, and smaller families can benefit from the long list of comfort and tech features found in many cars in this segment. At Gillman Honda San Benito, one of our most popular midsize sedans is the 2020 Honda Accord. Some shoppers have wondered about the Nissan Altima vs. Honda Accord debate, and our dealers would like to weigh in on the pros and cons of each vehicle.
Performance
In recent years, automobile manufacturers have been moving from putting fuel-thirsty V6 engines in midsize sedans to putting more fuel-efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engines under the hood.
Case in point, the 2020 Honda Accord has two available turbocharged four-cylinder engines, with the base engine being a 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder that cranks out 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. Drivers seeking more power can upgrade to a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that is good for 252 horsepower.
In contrast, the 2020 Nissan Altima also comes with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, but it only produces 188 horsepower, falling short of the base engine on the Honda Accord.
Safety
Whether you’re driving your family around town or just driving to work, safety should be of critical importance. Luckily, the new Honda car comes standard with a long list of safety features, including adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, front automated emergency braking, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, and lane-keep assist.
While the Nissan Altima also has many of these features included as an option, its base trim does not have them as standard, while the Honda Accord does.
