Predicted 5-Year Cost to Own: $35,185
The Honda Accord, now in its 10th generation, has earned the title of Best Midsize Car in the Kelley Blue Book 2020 5-Year Cost to Own Awards.
Are we surprised? Not one bit. This marks the second win in a row for the highly regarded Accord, which understandably received heaps of praise in our KBB Expert Review: “How good are the 2020 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid sedans? If we could only recommend one car for most buyers, it would likely be one of the numerous Honda Accord models. As sedans go, the 2020 Honda Accord just gets everything right. It has a roomy cabin, excellent fuel economy plus an impeccable reputation for reliability and strong resale.”
More from the review: “The Accord has won numerous awards from KBB over the years including a Best Buy award, and the hybrid model delivers a combined 48 mpg. From its standard Honda Sensing suite of driver assists to its potent turbocharged engines and available manual transmission, the Accord gives every competitor a run for its money. If only Honda offered the Accord with all-wheel drive like the Nissan Altima and Subaru Legacy. Ah well, maybe on Gen 11.”
The Accord, which is still available with a manual transmission (in the Sport model), starts at $24,800 (including the $930 destination charge). With its excellent practicality and fun-to-drive nature backed by proven reliability and stellar resale values, the 2020 Honda Accord shines brightly as the Best Compact Car in the KBB 2020 5-Year Cost to Own ratings.
