. class, let's start real quick before we begin. I want to thank and congratulate my friends at Honda Cars of Rockwall for providing this Accord right here. If you are in the DFW area, be sure to check them out. I will put your information in the description below. Thank you all so much for tuning in to this

2020

Honda Accord Touring.

I'm going to show you all the features of this top model and Touring, all in the Scott, let's look at the exterior here. First, starting at the front, we have full LED headlights, even a jewel-like LED daytime running light there, looks great, definitely borrowed from Acura's LED daytime running light that works just below that and we even have LED fog lights that are Well these days not everything has fog lights we also have this glossy black front grille and that bar across it is its flying wing it's a big chrome flying wing it really stands out on this car .

I would probably prefer all black here on the front and I. I've seen it and it looks pretty good, but let me know what you think in the comments below. The front end of this Accord is super low, so if I go ahead and kneel down, this is right there and it's a super low front end. In the end, that's one of the most drastic changes here and I still think it looks pretty cool. There has been some controversy on the back, but this color is platinum white and has some metallic flake. I think it looks pretty good.

Some shine, especially in daylight, the sun shines, really stands out now from the wheels on this

touring

model. We have 19 inch wheels with machined finish with some inserts on there as well as some unique looking wheels like some big wheels and We also have 2 35 40 series tires and this model actually gives us larger brakes than the models with motors smaller and the lower models, which is always nice to see in those mirrors that are heated, the body color has LED turn signals and a reverse tilt function, which is really nice and expected, as well as our blind spot, we also have the smart key system, which I'll show you;

You can see the little chrome piece running down at the bottom, even a touch of premium luxury. the chrome on these door handles as well, so definitely some chrome on this top and on the trim makes it look a little more luxurious, certainly another thing about the Accord is this higher end model, this touring we have shocks adaptive with our independent suspension so you should get the best of the ride comfort and the handling the best of both worlds with that which is pretty good and then when we get to the rear we have partial LEDs we have LED brake lights integrated, LED light bars back here as well Turn signal, as you can see there, there is an incandescent bulb that has a unique shape and it also has its badged parking sensors 2.0 turbo Touring here and in the front and then it has exhaust outlets and a dual exhaust, but it's hidden behind that.

That little cover on the bumper now the trunk and cargo space for the Accord is quite spacious, there's a little lift right under a little tab that you can push right under it, you have exposed hinges which is a bad thing. I would like to see that change, but this trunk is huge, sixteen point seven cubic feet, super wide, hardly any volume in there, it's easy to put things in now, let me take a look at you with a carry-on suitcase that slides back quite a bit all the time, it has good depth, it has good height and as you can see the most important thing compared to other vehicles is the amount of space there is in the corners and it's nice to see a hook and something small that you can hang something on both sides.

It's so big, gigantic and spacious. The trunk and the seats can also be folded of course, the Accord gives you a smart key system right here, very nice keys, key fob, you have a standard remote start button here as well and I like the Accords system that you have. button to lock it, put your hand back, you have sensors and of course for me, of course, it's not very responsive, but usually there are no problems, and then one feature that you can decide if you're not that active is when you walk away . have it automatically lock once you get far enough away which is great you can turn it on or off now in the Accord the front seats are leather wrapped and 12 way with four way lumbar support the lumbar can do the Typical in and out, but so up and down, which was really nice for me.

It looks like I have it in a perfect place. This leather is nice and soft. These seats are heated and ventilated, both are standard for this Touring trim and standard is for positioning memory settings. and when you start the car in the seat or turn it off, if you want, the seat can move forward or backward to facilitate the entry and exit system. These seats are quite comfortable. The headrest is not intrusive, which I love. It looks like these seats. be a little softer than other vehicles, especially the Camry I was in recently and they are comfortable, well bolstered, not super aggressive or super sporty.

I have good headroom with the seat all the way down and generally comfortable seats I could sit in. Here for a long time, taking a look at the interior of this Accord, you have a nice soft material here, a very nice trim piece and door handle running through there and then this section down here is nice and smooth, elbow free, good decent padding. sized armrest, a good grab handle and seat buttons with memory, right here you have a trunk release button and a couple of bottle holders. My big bottle doesn't fit in there although right inside you have the control for its trip computer with head up display and brightness and then the circle button with the car is for its safety features its parking sensor and traction control now we're in of the Accord and Honda has a really premium interior for this class, especially with the trim pieces The materials here, the design is definitely unique with this tablet style screen, leave your comments below, they are definitely becoming more and more common.

Our steering wheel here is leather wrapped, it's actually a little bulky and I like that it has some decent sporty grips. There are three spokes designed with kind of a small inner half portion, maybe you could call it four spokes, but all the controls that are necessary for your radio, your information show your safety settings here, as well as the cruise control, they have paddle shifters here , as you can see. back there and we even have rain sensing wipers in the automobile section, which actually come in handy in many rainy situations. I like it if it alternates between wet and dry and raining hard and not so hard, but press the button.

Start there, let's go and as you can see, you have these two screens on each side plus the digital readouts on the right and left for fuel and temperature and then here you have your tachometer and basically all the digital information. screen, so there is information you can scroll through. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it, but you have a trip computer. your tachometer can stay there. you have your speedometer here. You can have that speedometer or not. I have to say, but it tracks your speed, your audio, your phone, you can also see navigation here, traffic sign recognition, support and driver attention features that you can customize with that, so it's all great and looks Pretty good, it's pretty clean.

With the white letters now approaching our touchscreen, we have an 8 inch touchscreen with some real physical buttons on both sides, a volume knob and a tuning knob, which is nice to see, everything seems fine here, the only thing that would really change. is not having it tilted away from you, but rather tilting it up and down quite a bit and maybe more integrated into the dash. I've seen a little bit of shine, but there's also a plastic film in there, so that might be part of it. Being so straight up and down would be good for me.

You have Apple Carplay and Android Auto. I have Carplay. Wow, I have a plague of cars. Oh, I'm in trouble now. I have Carplay working right now, as you can see it's easy to get out. It's nice here to have these actual physical buttons that you can scroll around and customize a good amount of things. Here you have available Wi-Fi, Sirius As we move on, we have two central air conditioning vents, we have dual zone climate control, these really feel good and the high premium qualities have a little nice dial to it to make it cool, even the detail of it lighting up if you can see that red blue and then you have three level heated and ventilated seating options so it's always nice for you and your passenger this little tray that can be folded down for comfort. of a clean look, otherwise you can leave it on, have a USB for Apple Carplay and a 12 volt outlet and then while we're looking at that screen, let me click reverse and then you'll have this backup. camera that has dynamic lines that move with the steering wheel you have three different views so they are there and then a straight down view so the wide ones narrow and then you look straight down behind the bumper which is amazing and your rear cross traffic alert shows up here too and go back to that shifter like you saw, you pulled back, otherwise everything else is a button, takes a while to get used to, frees up space right here, so if there are pros and Cons, you have an electronic parking brake in sport mode in eco mode and a brake hold button.

Nice big bottle holders here mine fits in there well I like how it's actually a little square because my big phone can just sit there and be there otherwise you. I also have wireless charging in there, otherwise you could put a juice box or who knows what else in here and a long wide armrest, which is nice. I really like this, it doesn't move up or down or anything like a ratchet style. but you can lift it up, you've got a USB and a 12 volt outlet there, nice big area, that tray slides out, you can slide it in or remove it on top, you've got an auto dimming rear view mirror and garage controls too.

I have sunglasses holders. There are no LED lights here. I expected to see them normal, but they still work. They are brilliant. You've got a normal-looking sunroof up top and visibility here is pretty good looking rearward. You've got a nice designed slope, but Honda seems to have preserved visibility pretty well considering it's a sedan and those headrests aren't there right now, which is a little silly, so they would impede visibility now jumping into the back seat of the Accord this one is actually super spacious so sitting behind me where I would normally sit is the amount of space I have it's a ton this is amazing it's like the kind of space of a full size crew cab pickup truck , very good foot room, very good knee room.

Lie back completely and let the cushion support my thighs. We have air conditioning vents back here, like the same type of midsize sedan, smallish, medium center hump there, no USB or charging ports back here, which is a little unusual and then when we get there. in the middle we have the folding center armrest, good sized square cup holders again and I have plenty of headroom Honda, plus the numbers aren't that great there is surprisingly good headroom back here and the middle seat is definitely difficult. the head touches the ceiling so that's something to think about upstairs we just have normal incandescent bulbs.

I'm surprised there's no LED back here, but one amazing feature we have here is the heated seats on this top-of-the-line Touring trim, which is really nice, so those are three-level heated seats for these outboard passengers, which which is really cool and something like you don't expect in this class, we even have nice soft moldings here, soft moldings here and up here finally we have the hard touch plastic, which is different. than in the, but you also have the nice decorative piece, so in general, the quite spacious rear seat under the hood of this 2020 Honda Accord we have a 2-liter direct injection and turbocharged engine, it is a four-cylinder that generates 252 horsepower and​​273 pound-feet of torque that actually comes out very early at 1500 rpm, so you don't even have to step on the accelerator.

The 10-speed automatic transmission miles per gallon will be 22 city, 32 highway and 26 combined. and the fuel tank will be 14.8 gallons. Well, thanks for sticking around to test drive this 2020 Honda Accord, so I drove it a couple and a half years ago, maybe, and I was very impressed with it. I don't have a lot of experience driving other vehicles and even after driving several other vehicles I'm still impressed with the way the Accord drives and we'll talk about some of that, we'll do a sort of shorter test drive. here and see what we see from the start, the Accord seems to be pretty quiet.

I don't have decibel ratings like I do on my full week-long reviews, but I guess this is on par with the class. It might be on the quieter end, it's hard to say, you know, I haven't driven it much yet, it's smooth, the steering is medium

weight

, it's a little bit lighter, but not too heavy, not too light, it just feels fine just driving. This is casual, this is comfortable, this is easy to drive. That's something I just understood. I have felt so comfortable in this car. I really like the seats, the way the seating position looks here you sit pretty low so it's definitely something you might want to consider especially if you have mobility issues and you find it difficult to get in and out. low car so try it before you buy now keep in mind this car is of course a mid sized family sedan although we have this 2 liter turbocharged engine its goal is economy and smoothness now with that in mind, just have a run a little throttle here and it'll go I'll tell you what that boost kicks in immediately very low does part throttle have to be respectful of the dealer's car and does it work?

I mean it's responsive even on part throttle from here, it took a second to decide which gear it wanted but then it kicks in, you get that turbo boost just which is so nice at times and in city driving you'd almost never have to get into him to even get power. So it's very casual, easy to drive and let's go ahead and put it in sport mode and this whole video is not going to be just driving it fast of course that's not what it's about but it automatically downshifted the gears, raised the RPMs and the Good thing is that there is actually a boost gauge on the turbo gauge and it still maintains the RPM.

It has a pretty nice sound if you ask me, even though it's a smaller engine, I think it has a sporty sound that they have artificially. done, but that's fine for me now that I'm on higher speeds, I double check we have laminated glass here, there is active noise cancellation. I haven't experienced any noise in this short period of time, so it's pretty quiet, pretty isolated. and with this corner here, a long slow corner, it feels planted and the steering is not guessable at all, it just works and drives well, the braking here is good too, it's actually quite responsive and I enjoy good feedback . brake system works fine for me, you don't have to guess really it's a bit artificial but it works well now it has adaptive dampers it's not a sport suspension I haven't hit any really rough pavement or hard stuff but I'm satisfied with it, sorry for everything, but I think it's a little softer than the Camry I was in now.

I have the paddle shifters on and they are actually quite quick and responsive, which surprises me. A little faster than I expected, but most people won't use them. You have to go through ten gears, which makes it maybe a little less fun, and in conclusion, I'm impressed with this Accord. Lots of it, there's a lot of room inside and it's not a super big car on the outside, it's just an average size and Honda did a great job of packaging it into a great all around family sedan. Thanks so much for looking.
