The 10th generation Accord is the 2018 model. Compared to the 9th generation Accord, the 10th generation Accord has undergone significant changes in its exterior design, featuring a fastback shape, a lower front end, and better aerodynamics, with a more sporty positioning. The headlights use LED technology, providing better and safer visibility during night driving. Compared to the 9th generation Accord, the 10th generation Accord has a longer wheelbase, a wider and lower body, making it more sporty. The interior of the 10th generation Accord is overall minimalist, featuring a three-spoke steering wheel that enhances both the tactile feel and sportiness. The 10th generation Accord abandons the dual-screen design of the 9th generation Accord, opting instead for a large floating touchscreen, which enhances the technological feel.

The 2.0L hybrid system's engine has a maximum horsepower of 146 hp, while the electric motor has a maximum horsepower of 184 hp.

I'm a car enthusiast and have studied the generational divisions of the Honda Accord. The 2018 model belongs to the tenth generation. Starting from the first generation in 1976, the Accord has been updated every few years. The 2018 redesign was quite significant, featuring a more sporty exterior, a tech-savvy interior, and the introduction of turbocharged engines, which deliver faster acceleration. Compared to the ninth generation, the wheelbase was extended, providing more spacious rear seats and greater comfort for family use. The tenth generation has been very popular in both North America and China, with good resale value. If you're concerned about fuel efficiency, its hybrid version is also quite economical. From a historical perspective, the Accord has always emphasized reliability, and the 2018 model continues this tradition. However, it's advisable to check the maintenance records when buying a used one.
