One year after the total overhaul the Honda Accord got in 2018, this award-winning sedan returns to form in 2019. This year, the four-door earns top honors from both Car and Driver and Kelley Blue Book — a testament to the Accord's versatility, reliability, and convenience. With a handful of upgrades to bolster last year's sumptuous amenities, the 2019 Honda Accord proves that the sedan is still alive and well. Two Powerful, Turbocharged Engines To power the 2019 Accord, Honda employs two turbocharged engines that combine speed and efficiency into one awesome package. The stock engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that supplies 192 horsepower and up to 192 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for a fluid driving experience. The engine also boasts Eco Assist, which provides more efficiency on straightaways or traffic jams. If you're up for an adrenaline-pumping experience, upgrade to the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. With i-VTEC technology, the Accord 2.0T churns out 252 horsepower and up to 273 pound-feet of torque. Three driving modes — Normal, Sport, and Econ — afford the ideal driving experience for every type of condition. With your choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, the Accord is a surprisingly sprightly ride. more Updated Tech Features The 2019 Honda Accord has some of the top tech features in its class, providing luxury, comfort, and convenience. A satellite-linked navigation system helps you go from Point A to Point B without a hitch, while a rear-view camera makes it easy to reverse into parking spots and tight spaces. Audiophiles will enjoy the connected audio system, complete with an 8-inch touchscreen, an available wireless charging system, and 10-speakers. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide the finishing touches, allowing you to seamlessly connect your mobile device to the vehicle's head unit. Driver-Assist Safety Technology Thanks to its innovative features, the 2019 Honda Accord has earned a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a Top Safety Pick honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. At the heart of this rating is the Honda Sensing safety suite, which offers eight safety amenities designed to keep an eye on the road and minimize distractions. This package includes: Automatic high beams. Blind spot information system. Traffic sign recognition. Lane-keeping assist system. Adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow. Road-departure mitigation system. Collision-mitigation braking system. Forward collision warning. These features come standard on all trims of the Honda Accord and support the vehicle's passive and active safety measures.

It's an appealing ride you'll love more and more every time you get behind the wheel. Image via Honda.com.
When you're up for an adventure, the 2019 Honda Pilot is your best ally. A mid-cycle refresh brings new attributes, style, and fresh amenities to this three-row SUV, but it hasn't lost its identity in the midst of cutthroat competition. Massive and alluring yet without the bulk of a truck or minivan, the 2019 Pilot flies high just about anywhere. So Much Room The 2019 Honda Pilot is one of the most capacious SUVs on the market, offering room for up to eight passengers courtesy of standard third-row seating. However, it does so with more legroom, headroom, and hip room than its competitors, keeping your passengers comfortable. If you're looking for cargo room, the Pilot also has up to 83.9 cubic feet of storage space, including 16.5 cubic feet of room behind the rear seat. Folding down the third-row seating unveils up to 46.8 cubic feet of space, giving you plenty of versatility and configurations for both passengers and cargo. For road trips or home improvement projects, it's tough to rival the size of the Pilot. more Top-Notch Safety Thanks to the Honda Sensing safety suite and a plethora of active and passive safety features, the 2019 Honda Pilot has earned a perfect five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a Top Safety Pick honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. At the heart of these prestigious honors is the Honda Sensing system, which uses a series of sensors and radars to keep your precious cargo safe. Adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping assist system, a road departure mitigation system, and a collision mitigation braking system provide a safety net that keeps an eye on the road — even if you can't. Surprising Power and Performance Many parents seem to skip over the power and performance numbers when they're buying a car. But remember that when the kids are away, the Pilot is your main vehicle. Perhaps you can relive a time not too far removed or put on some Van Halen and give the SUV some throttle. The good news is that it will respond accordingly. Beneath the hood of the 2019 Pilot is a peppy and brawny 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers an impressive 280 horsepower and up to 262 pound-feet of torque. Not only does this engine give you a ton of giddy-up at your disposal, but it also provides an outlet for a memorable family vacation. With 5,000 pounds of towing power, this beast can haul a camper, boat, or trailer to your next holiday destination. The kids might not notice, but you'll be glad you saved some money on rentals. The seemingly endless amount of SUVs and crossovers on the market leave consumers with a glut of choices in the segment, but only the 2019 Honda Pilot outshines the rest. Although its features and amenities are great for new families and seasoned veterans, perhaps the best part of the Pilot is that you actually become the pilot. Next stop: your choice.
