When you’re running late to the office, you need a sedan that can take you where you need to go in a time crunch. If your commute is a bit of a hike, efficiency is just as important. Do these sedans deliver in both categories?
Both the Accord and the Legacy are available with two engines. Their base engines are comparable; however, the Honda’s 1.5L turbocharged engine produces 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The Subaru’s 2.5L engine falls short with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. The Accord’s enhanced performance will help you make greater leaps and bounds.
The secondary powertrains of these sedans satisfy different means. The Subaru taps into your need for speed by offering a 2.4L turbocharged engine. The Honda helps you be more frugal with fuel with its available hybrid powertrain. Your choice lies in what you prioritize: efficiency or power.
When rush-hour traffic prolongs your morning commute, every moment matters. This means you’d like to leave gas stations in your rearview and keep chugging ahead. Both the Accord and the Legacy offer similar gas mileage with their base models, helping you get to work on time:
The Legacy’s base mileage is its best offering. The Accord is just getting started. When you opt for the Accord EX-L Hybrid trim, the Honda will achieve an impressive EPA-estimated 51 city/44 highway MPG!* Gas mileage like that means you can withhold from refueling—even after several round-trip commutes.
You love your job’s in-office atmosphere. The gentle clicking of keyboards, the burble of a coffee maker, and the joyous chatter as 5 p.m. nears bring a smile to your face. When you have to bring your office on the road, the Accord and the Legacy will ensure you have all the proper supplies and equipment.
Do you need to phone into a conference call on your lunch break? Does your co-worker need to finish up the last page of their presentation during your carpool? The Honda and the Subaru offer a few technologies to keep you connected, starting with Wi-Fi® hotspot capability! This feature is standard on the Accord and available on the Legacy.
Only the Accord brings artificial intelligence (AI) on board. Meet Googe built-in and Alexa built-in! These available AI platforms give you a digital assistant that helps you stay on track and performs actions for you, much like the assistant you have in the office.
You have a dual-monitor setup in your office that you can’t live without. You’ve gotten used to the luxurious, expanded view; why not look for something similar in your next sedan? Both the Honda and the Subaru come standard with a 7-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to a larger platform. Which model has the largest offering?
The Legacy is available with an 11.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, which sounds impressive, right? The Accord eclipses it! The Honda has an available 12.3-inch touchscreen, which delivers the same easy-on-the-eyes view you love.
Rush-hour traffic includes congested conditions and drivers who are in a hurry. On top of your own attentiveness to help you navigate these conditions, the Accord and the Legacy have driver-assistance suites so you can drive to work and back without a sweat.
Honda Sensing® technology and EyeSight® driver assist technology are ready to work whenever you slide behind the wheel. These comprehensive safety suites include several similar features that monitor the road, your driving, and other drivers to help keep you out of harm’s way:
The Accord and the Legacy will make you feel confident whether you’re backing out into a busy parking lot or merging lanes on the highway. Both sedans are available with a Blind Spot Information System with a Cross Traffic Monitor, which acts as a set of eyes in the back of your head.
Honda goes above and beyond to make every commute a safe one. Its Honda Sensing® suite provides more standard features that are unavailable on the Subaru, including:
After a long day at work, these features will help ensure you get home safe and sound.
If you need an on-the-go office or a warrior commuter, the Honda Accord and the Subaru Legacy are up for the task. However, with its enhanced efficiency, premium technology, and dedication to your safety, we believe the Accord will be the better addition to your Venice, Punta Gorda, or North Port, FL life.
