The 2010 Honda Accord gets a couple of minor upgrades for its range-topping EX trim levels, including rear seat ventilation ducts on sedan versions of the EX and EX-L, a trunk lid liner for all EXs and Bluetooth connectivity for EX-Ls. For more than 20 years, the top choices for a family sedan have been the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2010 Honda Accord is available in sedan and coupe body styles. The sedan comes in LX, LX-P, EX and EX-L trim levels, while the coupe comes in LX-S, EX and EX-L trims.
The LX-P sedan adds 16-inch alloy wheels, auto up-down front windows and a power driver seat. The EX-L sedan nabs the premium stereo system from the EX coupe, while the EX-L coupe gets the power driver seat. The 2010 Honda Accord offers three engine choices.
An upgraded 190-hp version of that 2.4-liter engine powers EX sedans and all coupes. In terms of fuel economy, four-cylinder Accords are about average, while V6-powered models receive slightly above-average ratings. Four-cylinder cars with automatic transmissions achieve 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined, while the manual transmission bumps those numbers up to 22/31/25.
The six-cylinder returns 19 mpg city/29 mpg highway (28 in automatic coupes) and 22 mpg combined with the automatic, though the manual-shift V6 coupe drops to 17/25/20, as its version of the V6 lacks cylinder-deactivation technology. All Accords come standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags.
In government crash tests, the 2010 Honda Accord sedan received a perfect five stars for front passenger protection in frontal and side impacts; however, it received just three stars for rear passenger side-impact protection. The Accord coupe was perfect except for its four-star side-impact protection for front passengers. The coupe's trunk offers 11.9 cubes.
The current Honda Accord sedan has lost some of the sporty edge once attributed to it. Notably, the Accord coupe's handling is significantly better.
