The only 2010 Honda Accord styling changes are newly available dress-up items designed by renowned Honda racing-accessory purveyor MUGEN. Available for the Accord sedan, they lend a sporty look to a design introduced for model-year 2008. In both wheelbase and overall body length, Accord is among the largest cars in the midsize class. Sedans come in four basic models labeled LX, LX-P, EX, and EX-L.
Coupes come in three models: LX-S, EX, and EX-L. Visual differentiation is subtle: models with the V-6 engine have dual exhaust outlets, and the LX sedan rides on 16-inch wheels with wheel covers while all other Accord sedans have alloy wheels in 16- or 17-inch diameter. Coupes have 17- or 18-inch alloys. Like every other midsize car, Accord has front-wheel drive, which puts the weight of the engine over the wheels that propel the car. LX and LX-P sedans have a 177-horsepower four-cylinder. The LX-S Coupe and all four-cylinder EX and EX-L models have a more advanced engine with 190 horsepower. EX and EX-L models are available with a 271-horsepower V-6. Four-cylinder Accords use a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. Also for 2010, EX sedans and EX-L sedans and coupes gain new rear-seat ventilation ducts for better rear-passenger airflow. In Honda tradition, Accord offers no options packages, instead increasing the level of equipment as you ascend the model line. EX-L models are the only Accords eligible for a navigation system.

Honda’s engineers will argue that Accord’s five-speed automatic transmissions suit it perfectly. Dashboard and controls: Accord’s dashboard also reflects the engineer’s eye. The 2010 feature changes are welcome but leave Accord vulnerable to aggressive competitors.
