How much does the 2018 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 3.96% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,775 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

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. Many also like the sporty performance and more luxurious feel in higher trims, which fits the Accord’s role as a practical midsize family sedan that still feels engaging to drive.

With 29.3% of listings priced 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.

Owner feedback points to a reliable, dependable, and trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers saying they can count on the Accord for everyday use. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that it is reliable, roomy, efficient, and unpretentious, which reinforces its reputation as a car built for long-term use.

Honda’s engineering focus also supports that impression, with the car described as smooth, quiet, and pleasant-sounding in normal driving. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the model’s overall reputation and more about making sure the specific example 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 50.6% 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 you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a less complete service record. Focus on condition, prior damage, and how well the car’s features and drivability match the seller’s description. If you’re comparing multiple listings, the cleanest example is often worth paying a little more for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the simplest version, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all trims except the base LX. Higher trims add more convenience and upscale touches, and the Touring stands out with wireless device charging as standard.
• Powertrain: The 1.5-liter turbo four makes 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0-liter turbo four makes 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-liter pairs with a 10-speed automatic, and a 6-speed manual is available in Sport trims.
• 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. Blind-spot monitoring is standard on the 2.0T Sport and EX trims and above.
• Infotainment: Honda’s infotainment system is faster and easier to use than past versions, and the home screen can be customized. Garmin navigation includes 5 years of map updates, and HondaLink comes standard with remote unlocking, stolen vehicle tracking, automatic 911 assistance, and maintenance reminders.
• 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 mpg city and 34 highway.

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 value-focused starting point, but it’s also the trim where you give up Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Choose it only if you want the lowest entry price and can live with the simpler equipment list.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more appealing mix of features and can be paired with the stronger 2.0-liter engine. If you want the Accord’s more engaging side without jumping all the way to the top, this is the trim to focus on.
• EX: This trim adds more comfort and convenience while keeping the Accord’s core strengths intact. It’s a good middle ground if you want a better-equipped daily driver without stretching to luxury-oriented trims.
• EX-L: This is the right choice if you want a more upscale feel and more premium features. It suits you best if comfort and refinement matter more than keeping the purchase price as low as possible.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the richest feature set and wireless device charging standard. It makes sense if you want the most complete Accord experience and are willing to pay for it.

Honda Sensing comes standard on every Accord, and 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, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,775 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.96% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 50.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,545, 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 $18,008 sits slightly below last year's $18,751.

That price movement suggests the Accord has softened enough to create a better buying opportunity now, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you’ll be starting from a more favorable entry point than buyers who paid last year’s average.

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 Honda Accord is rated a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, scoring the highest in all five crash tests and a separate crash-avoidance test that measures the auto-braking system.

It earns an 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 it from earning Top Safety Pick+ status, so that’s the main safety caveat to keep in mind.

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:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 50.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.96% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.72/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It’s an all-new model year with a more appealing blend of practicality, technology, and driving character.

The bottom line: The 2018 Accord is a smart pick if you want the redesigned model year and you’re willing to shop carefully for a clean, well-priced example. If your priority is simply the lowest possible purchase price, a nearby year may be worth considering, but the 2018 gives you a strong mix of value, satisfaction, and modern features.
