How wide is the Accord's body?
2 Answers
Taking the 2018 10th-generation all-new Accord as an example, its body dimensions are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, and 2830mm in wheelbase. Compared to the previous generation Accord, the wheelbase has increased, the width remains unchanged, and other dimensions have been reduced. Additional information: 1. The Accord (Accord), as a practitioner of Honda's innovative spirit and global leading technology, has a 38-year global history. The original tires equipped on the Accord are Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires. To address changes in contact area during high-speed cornering, Michelin has adopted Variable Contact Patch technology on the PSS. The luxury version is equipped with 215/60-R16 Michelin tires. 2. A major selling point of the 10th-generation Accord is the Honda SENSING system, which also appears in other Honda models. However, the 10th-generation Accord is the model in the family with the most comprehensive safety configurations. Except for the entry-level 230TURBO and 260TURBO models, all other models are equipped with the Honda SENSING safety system. The 10th-generation Accord features a lower and wider body, a prominent front nose, and a coupe-like roofline, all of which deviate from the traditional design style of previous Accords.
I've always been a car enthusiast, particularly interested in studying vehicle dimensions. Taking the Honda Accord as an example, its body width is approximately 1.86 meters, which is standard among mainstream midsize sedans and comparable to the Toyota Camry. Having driven the Accord myself, I find this width just right—it doesn't feel unstable when cornering and remains steady at high speeds; parking isn't overly challenging, fitting comfortably into standard parking spaces. However, compared to compact cars like the Honda Civic, which is noticeably narrower, this can impact interior space and comfort. I recommend paying attention to how width affects daily usability when purchasing a car. The Accord's dimensions strike a good balance—not too wide to cause parking difficulties, yet sufficient to ensure driving enjoyment and safety. After all, a wider body enhances stability and reduces rollover risk, which is quite important in both congested city driving and long-distance trips.
