2018 Honda Accord: Take a look at World's first fwd sedan with 10-speed automatic transmission

The 10th-generation Accord is new from the ground up and features a lighter and more rigid body structure, an advanced new chassis design.
The 2018 Accord takes an entirely new approach to performance by featuring three advanced new powerplants – two direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder engines and the third generation of Honda's two-motor hybrid powertrain technology.
The new 1.5-liter, 16-valve DOHC direct-injected turbo with dual Variable Timing Control (dual VTC) and comes mated to a Honda continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) or, in Sport trim, to a CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT).
The 2018 Accord features a new Honda-developed 10-speed automatic transmission (10AT) with the 2.0-liter turbo engine, the first of its kind for a front-wheel-drive car, and an available 6-speed manual transmission for both turbocharged engines.
The 2018 Accord boasts a larger, more premium and tech savvy interior that compliments its athletic and elegant body design, delivering a level of quality and premium feel that belies Accord's mainstream sedan status.
The Accord's newly designed seats feature taller shoulder bolstering for a more premium appearance and improved lateral support
New high-accuracy seat padding with variable firmness, improving seating comfort and support
A new laser brazing process that joins the dramatically arching roof to the body side panels creates a clean appearance with no garnish over the rain channels.
​The 2018 Accord touring features distinctive LED light-pipe taillights
The low and wide rear view is finished off with an upswept decklid, distinctive LED light-pipe taillights and cleanly integrated dual exhaust ports
The new Accord features a longer wheelbase, a lower overall height and wider body, wider wheel tracks, a shortened overall length and lower, sportier seating position
Honda's ACE™ body structure with crash stroke front frame, tailor-tempered rear frame for improved crash-energy absorption, and the extensive use of structural adhesives for increased rigidity, cabin quietness and weight reduction
