Comparing equivalent trim levels of both sedans, the Honda Accord LX goes head-to-head against the Subaru Legacy Premium. Although the Legacy Premium does begin this matchup with a very slight price advantage, you’ll quickly discover that choosing the Accord LX proves to be the much smarter financial decision.
Equipped with its standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, the Accord LX offers a sizable performance advantage compared to the Legacy Premium with a total of 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. In addition to this significant power advantage, the Accord still even manages to offer superior fuel economy across all three categories of EPA-estimated MPG measurements**. Further contributing to its more engaging driving experience is the lower curb weight and more sophisticated multi-link rear suspension of the Honda Accord.
Turning our attention toward interior features, you’ll quickly spot the standard push-button ignition and traffic sign recognition system inside the Accord LX. Choosing the Accord also means that you’ll enjoy more room inside the trunk, perfect for taking that extra suitcase along for your next weekend getaway. A customizable digital gauge cluster also delivers a more upscale experience inside the Accord. Both friends and family will agree that the Accord is the better choice thanks to superior head and legroom for backseat passengers.
