Verdict: Versatile, comfortable, affordable, and fun, the 2022 Accord shines in every way a car can, making it one of our favorite new cars on sale today.

Overview
Although SUVs and crossovers are the people haulers these days, we think those folks are missing out by not considering the superb 2022 Honda Accord sedan. The Accord can do most things your average compact crossover can do, and its spry handling will give its driver more of a thrill should they encounter a twisty road. Two turbocharged engines are offered, as is a hybrid powertrain that provides a more efficient twist on the daily commute. With a commodious trunk and enough space for four adults to relax in comfort, the Accord is also an ideal road-trip partner, made even better by its comprehensive set of standard driver-assistance features and intuitive infotainment system. There's a reason the Accord makes our 2022 10Best and Editors' Choice lists like it has done time and time again: It's a winner.

What's New for 2022?
After undergoing a light refresh for the 2021 model year, the only change for the 2022 Accord lineup is that the hybrid is now available in a Sport trim level to replace the previous EX hybrid.

LX: $27,615
Hybrid: $28,815
Sport: $30,075
Sport SE: $31,565
EX-L: $33,935

Since the six-speed manual transmission is sadly no longer offered, we'd select an Accord with the optional 10-speed automatic since the only other option is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). That leaves us looking at the Sport model with the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The lineup starts with a 192-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, but our favorite is the 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that sits atop the engine pyramid and comes with a 10-speed automatic that shifts with an almost seamless nature. Both engines are smooth operators, but the 2.0-liter offers a rush of power that can easily spin the front tires in first gear. A hybrid is also available and is powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine and two electric motors. The Accord's chassis is well sorted and encourages the driver to push the car hard through corners, where it exhibits a minimal amount of body roll. The steering is light, as befits a car in this class, but we wouldn't mind if it transmitted a little more feedback from the road. Still, it's hard to complain about a helm that's accurate and predictable. The Accord's ride is firmly controlled but never harsh, which helps it strike a winning balance between a sports sedan and a practical family car.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
This latest version of the Accord has nixed the previous generation's V-6 and naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines in favor of a pair of downsized turbo fours, and the results are generally positive. Both engines returned strong results in our real-world highway fuel-economy testing. On our highway loop, the Accord Touring 2.0T with the 10-speed automatic bested its own EPA highway ratings by delivering 35 mpg. It also did much better than a 2018 Camry we tested with its 301-hp V-6 engine, which earned 29 mpg. The Accord hybrid is rated by the EPA for up to 47 mpg combined.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Accord's interior is surprisingly spacious, and rear-seat passengers in particular will be happier in an Accord than in almost any other mid-size sedan. Honda's no-options trim structure means that most decisions about its features are made for the driver, but virtually every Accord has handsome interior furnishings and at least some creature comforts. The top Touring trim is thoroughly decked out, with heated and cooled leather front seats, heated rear seats, and a head-up display. Lower trim levels have their own charms, however. Among them are Honda's attractive and comfortable cloth seats and interior trim. Not only does the Accord's 17 cubic feet of cargo space beat out the next-best car in the class, but the Accord hybrid doesn't lose any cargo space as a result of its electric powertrain components. In our testing, the regular Accord held two more carry-on bags with the rear seats folded than we fit in the nearest competitor."
