Is the Accord a manual or automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
The new Honda Accord is an automatic transmission car, with all models equipped with automatic transmissions, specifically E-CVT and CVT continuously variable transmissions. The eighth-generation Accord had a 5MT manual transmission, while the ninth and tenth generations have discontinued the manual option, switching to CVT continuously variable transmissions. This change was made to improve fuel efficiency and reduce the space occupied by the transmission. The large size of the 5MT manual transmission took up significant storage space inside the car, which did not align with the usage habits of younger car owners. Additionally, the CVT automatic transmission is more convenient to operate. The biggest advantage of automatic transmission cars is the elimination of frequent gear shifting, avoiding difficulties in starting. They save time and effort, reducing driving fatigue, and offer high comfort, simplicity, and ease of mastering driving techniques.
