How much does the 2018 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 3.83% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,700 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

If you find a listing below $17,545.76, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2018 Honda Accord a good car?

Yes — the 2018 Honda Accord earns a 4.72/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its smooth ride, advanced technology, and ample interior space, and many also like the sporty performance and luxurious feel in higher trims. The Accord’s use case is especially strong if you want a midsize family sedan that handles commuting well but still feels rewarding from behind the wheel.

With 29.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding strong value if you shop carefully.

Is the 2018 Honda Accord reliable?

Owners rate it 4.72/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels reliable, dependable, and easy to count on, with praise centered on its smooth ride and well-rounded everyday character. The expert evaluation also describes the Accord as reliable, roomy, efficient, and unpretentious, which reinforces the sense that it is built for long-term use rather than short-term flash.

Honda’s powertrains are described as smooth, quiet, and pleasant-sounding, and the overall package is presented as one that can handle daily driving without complaint. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Honda Accord?

At 50.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or shows uneven wear. Focus on condition details that matter most in a used family sedan: panel fit, tire wear, brake feel, interior wear, and whether all electronics work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, since Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every trim except the base LX. Higher trims add more convenience and luxury features, and the Touring stands out for its upscale equipment.
• Powertrain: The Accord uses turbocharged 4-cylinder engines, with a 1.5-liter turbo in the 1.5T models and a 2.0-liter turbo in the 2.0T models. The 2.0-liter brings stronger output and is paired with a 10-speed automatic, while the 1.5T uses a CVT.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing comes standard on every Accord and includes auto-braking, forward collision alert, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, traffic-sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control. Auto high beams, LED low-beam headlights, a driver attention monitor, and a backup camera with three views also come standard. Blind-spot monitoring is standard on the 2.0T Sport and EX trims and above.
• Infotainment: Honda’s infotainment system is described as fast and easy to use, with a customizable home screen and standard HondaLink. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trims except the base LX. Wireless device charging is standard on the Touring and optional on other trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The 1.5T with CVT is rated at 30 mpg city and 38 highway, while the 2.0T automatic is rated at 23 city and 34 highway. The manuals and Sport and Touring trims have lower ratings.

Which 2018 Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2018 Honda Accord is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it leaves out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so it makes the most sense only if you want the lowest price and can live with a simpler feature set.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more equipment and is also one of the trims where the stronger 2.0-liter engine is available. It’s a smart pick if you want a more engaging Accord without jumping all the way to luxury pricing.
• EX: This trim adds more comfort and convenience, and it also gets blind-spot monitoring as standard. It’s a good middle ground if you want a better-equipped daily driver.
• EX-L: This is the step up if you want a more upscale feel and more premium features without going all the way to the top trim.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the most luxury-oriented content and wireless device charging standard. It suits you best if you want the most complete Accord experience.

Honda Sensing comes standard across the lineup, while blind-spot monitoring is standard on the 2.0T Sport and EX trims and above.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Honda Accord?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully but not so much that every listing is a bargain.

• Deal availability: 29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,700 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.83% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 50.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,545.76, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2018 Honda Accord's resale value?

The current average of $18,046 sits slightly below last year's $18,765.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also suggests the model has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation. If you plan to sell later, a well-kept Accord should still benefit from broad shopper appeal because it combines practicality, efficiency, and a strong reputation.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.72/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2018 Honda Accord safe?

The 2018 Accord is rated a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing comes standard on every Accord and includes auto-braking, forward collision alert, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, traffic-sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control. Auto high beams, LED low-beam headlights, a driver attention monitor, and a backup camera with three views also come standard.

A lower rating for the headlights kept the Accord from earning a Top Safety Pick+ rating, so that is the main safety caveat to keep in mind. Blind-spot monitoring is standard on the 2.0T Sport and EX trims and above.

Should I buy a 2018 Honda Accord or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2018 if:

• 29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 50.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.83% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.72/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2018 stands out as an all-new model with a more rewarding driving character than many rivals, while still being reliable, roomy, efficient, and unpretentious.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, satisfaction, and everyday usability, the 2018 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may also want to compare nearby years to see whether a lower-priced example gives you the equipment and condition you want without giving up too much of the Accord’s core appeal.
