Consumers have many choices for midsize sedans, but a model that consistently outshines the competition is the Volkswagen Passat, with its sophisticated design, spacious and comfortable interior, excellent performance, and advanced multimedia and safety features. Another popular midsize sedan is the Honda Accord. See how the two nameplates measure up in this 2018 Volkswagen Passat vs 2018 Honda Accord comparison.
The 2018 Passat has a slight advantage for affordability with a starting MSRP that is $575 lower than the 2018 Accord ($22,995 vs $23,570 MSRP). However, the lower price doesn't mean lower quality, for the 2018 Passat boasts a meticulously crafted design, as well as a lengthy list of standard and available features across the trim lineup. Even with the base Passat S trim, you'll get automatic headlights and a rearview camera system, while upper trim models come with premium features like keyless access with push-button start, power tilting/sliding sunroof, remote start, leather seating, LED headlights and the Fender Premium Audio System.
Another strength of the 2018 Passat is its comfortable and refined interior, with high-quality materials throughout the cabin. It offers seating for five people and a total passenger volume of 102 cu-ft, compared to 101 cu-ft for the 2018 Accord. The new Passat also offers the peace of mind for safety, with all grades coming standard with advanced safety features like the Intelligent Crash Response System and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. And for even more reassurance, the 2018 Passat has the backing of a transferrable 6-years/72,000-miles Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. In comparison, the 2018 Accord has a non-transferrable 3-years/36,000-miles basic warranty.
