| Honda base engine | 192 horsepower | 192 lb-ft of torque | |
| Nissan base engine | 188 horsepower | 180 lb-ft of torque | |
Put your pedal to the metal with the Honda Accord and enjoy the extra horsepower and torque that’s promised. There’s no need to get slowed down by the gas station. Across the 2022 Honda LX and EX-L trim levels, you can enjoy an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway MPG.1
By comparison, the Nissan Altima only offers 28 city/39 highway MPG.
But the real advantage you get when driving the Accord comes with the optional hybrid engine. You won’t find EV mode with the Altima, and you also won’t get the Accord hybrid gas mileage that reaches 48 city/47 highway MPG.1

What kind of interior do you envision keeping you comfortable for the road up ahead? How about features like dual-zone automatic climate control system, so that the different passengers in the cabin can keep the temperature at their ideal preference?
While this is an option on the Altima, you’ll find it standard for the 2022 Accord.
That’s not the only feature standard with Honda but an add-on for Nissan. Just check out the interior technology perks:
Both models will give you Bluetooth® hook up for hands-free calling, but if you want to load up your favorite smartphone apps on your touchscreen, do it easily with the standard technology of the Accord.

With the help of driver assistance features, you can drive steadily from Point A to Point B and stay safe. Powered by sensors and cameras positioned on the vehicles’ exteriors, enjoy features that both models have in common:
Avoid forward collisions, stay safely within the lines of your lane, and keep aware of your surroundings when in reverse with the help of these monitoring systems, warning you audibly and visually of possible trouble.
The Accord has you covered in some extra corners. For example, while the 2022 Nissan Altima has a cruise control system, the 2022 Honda Accord offers an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow. This means that the Accord will follow a set speed and adjust to meet traffic conditions.
