Honda’s large sedan reappears in the used market with a 255 hp turbo engine, advanced technology package, above-average interior space, and competitive pricing compared to new mid-size models, attracting consumers who still prioritize comfort, performance, and sophisticated finish.
The Honda Accord Touring 2.0 turbo 2018 appears in the used market as an alternative for those looking for a large, powerful, and well-equipped sedan for a price close to R$ 150,000, below the R$ 174,990 charged for the Toyota Corolla XEi 2026.
The price difference brings two cars with distinct proposals closer.
On one side is the brand-new Corolla, a reference among mid-size sedans in Brazil.

On the other, the used Accord emerges, larger, stronger, and originally positioned in a higher segment.
Honda Accord Touring offers above-average space
The 2018 Accord Touring is 4.89 meters long, 1.86 meters wide, and has a wheelbase of 2.83 meters.
These measurements place Honda’s sedan in a higher category than the Corolla, which is 4.63 meters long and has a 2.70-meter wheelbase.
In practice, the extra space appears mainly in the second row.
The model offers a spacious cabin for rear passengers and a trunk of 574 liters, a capacity superior to the average of many sedans currently sold in the country.
This combination helps explain why the Accord still attracts interest among buyers who have not switched to SUVs.
Even out of production in Brazil in this configuration, the sedan maintains appeal among consumers who prioritize comfort, performance, and interior space.
2.0 turbo engine with 255 hp changes the sedan’s proposition
The 2018 Accord Touring uses a 2.0 turbo gasoline engine, with power close to 255 hp and torque of 37.7 kgfm.
The ten-speed automatic transmission also stands out, especially because this type of gearbox is still uncommon in mainstream sedans.
With this setup, the Honda is at a higher performance level than new mid-size sedans sold in Brazil.
The Corolla XEi 2026, for example, uses a naturally aspirated 2.0 flex engine, more focused on efficiency and everyday use than performance.
The Accord’s proposition, therefore, is not limited to the lower price.
The model offers behavior closer to premium large sedans, although it has maintenance, insurance, and consumption costs compatible with a more sophisticated and imported car.
Equipment reinforces the sophisticated profile of the Accord
Being the top-of-the-line version, the Accord Touring offers a comprehensive package of safety and convenience.
Among the items are adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and lane departure warning.
The list also includes eight airbags, head-up display, keyless entry, remote start, ventilated front seats, and a multimedia center with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Additionally, it features full LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and front and rear parking sensors.
The interior finish follows the proposal of a larger and more refined sedan.
Higher quality materials, a quiet cabin, and a comfortable driving position emphasize the difference compared to entry-level or intermediate mid-sized models.
Used sedan requires attention before purchase
The price range of R$ 150,000 makes the 2018 Accord Touring competitive against new mid-sized sedans, but the purchase requires careful analysis.
Being an imported used car with low availability, the maintenance history weighs more than the isolated mileage.
Before negotiation, it is important to check revisions, the condition of the transmission, the functioning of electronic systems, tire wear, and the availability of parts.
These factors can significantly influence the real cost of ownership over the years.
Even so, for those willing to forgo a brand-new car, the Accord offers a package difficult to replicate in this price range.
The model combines the size of a large sedan, a strong turbo engine, a sophisticated transmission, and a level of equipment above the standard of current mid-sized sedans.
