Midsize Sedans

#1 Honda Accord

SCORE 8.5/10

Base Price $25,500–$37,500*

MINOR Spacious, great to drive, fuel efficient, and safe, the Honda Accord is a superb midsize sedan. Available with three powertrain options, including a 47-mpg hybrid and two turbo-four gas engines, and a CVT or 10-speed automatic, the Accord’s all-around excellence allows it to punch above its class. (The wonderful manual is dead.) We even named it the winner of a comparison against a base Audi A4. Honda hasn’t announced anything for 2021, but it has hinted to us that updates are coming later this year, likely a midcycle refresh given the model’s redesign for 2018. Our favorite midsize sedan is about to get even better.
