Honda Accord vs Acura TLX

When you think of luxury, what comes to mind? If it’s the Honda Accord or the Acura TLX, then your head is in the right place. The Accord and the TLX will offer any driver behind the wheel a fun and luxurious ride with endless possibilities. However, they’re not created equal.

If you’re a driver in Zanesville, Cambridge, Coshocton, or Pickerington, OH, and considering between these two sedans as your next four-wheeled friend, we at Zanesville Honda compared some of the biggest components of these vehicles in order to help you reach a decision.

Honda Accord vs Acura TLX: MPG

One of the first and most important questions that shoppers may ask when they’re searching for their next car is about fuel efficiency. Both the Honda Accord and the Acura TLX check the box when it comes to fuel efficiency and can sustain longer drives on a single tank of gas. That being said, the Honda gets much better mileage than the Acura.

The 2021 Accord LX and EX-L trims achieve an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway/33 combined MPG while the 2021 Accord Hybrid, Hybrid EX, and Hybrid EX-L trims reach an EPA-estimated 48 city/48 highway/48 combined MPG in hybrid trims.* The Acura, by comparison, doesn’t come close to those numbers. It gets an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway/25 combined MPG.

The Accord is also aided by its Eco Assist™ System, which when activated limits some performance aspects of the car in order to further improve its fuel economy.

Accord vs Acura: Interior Dimensions

A big perk of both the Honda Accord and the Acura TLX is that they are spacious vehicles and can comfortably accommodate their passengers. However, the Honda outclasses the Acura in many areas of interior dimensions, including headroom. The Honda offers 39.5 inches of front headroom and 37.3 inches of rear headroom.

The Acura provides 37.2 inches of front headroom and 36.3 inches of rear headroom. Both vehicles offer comparable front legroom, but the Honda comes with 40.4 inches of rear legroom to the 34.9 inches of rear legroom found in the Acura. The Honda also dominates when it comes total passenger and cargo volume.

In the Accord, drivers will get 105.6 cubic feet of passenger volume and 16.7 cubic feet of cargo room. In the Acura, drivers will get 93.4 cubic feet of passenger volume and 13.5 cubic feet of cargo room.
