(Solved Homework): Value proposition of Honda Accord 2014…

Value proposition of honda accord 2014

The 2014 Honda Accord earns top honors in the midsize sedan class with its mix of excellent packaging, superb fuel economy and rewarding performance.

For 2014, the Honda Accord sees the addition of a pair of hybrids -standard and plug-in – to the family, while the LX trim level gets new fabric upholstery.

The Honda Accord is one of the best-selling sedans in America, but in my opinion, it should be the best-selling sedan. Aside from citing production capacity constraints at the Marysville, Ohio, factory that builds the Accord for U.S. consumption, there is no rational reason for the Accord to trail the Toyota Camry in terms of sales.

The 2014 Honda Accord, both sedan and coupe, hits a number of marks for a good used midsize car. The base engine is strong enough for everyday driving, and fuel economy is acceptable. Inside there’s plenty of front- and rear-legroom, comfortable seats, and a long list of standard features. Still, there are reasons to shop around. The Accord has a firm ride. It also lacks a split-folding rear seat, limiting the trunk’s ability to hold larger and longer items. It has above-average reliability, but several midsize cars are even more reliable.

The base Accord sedan and coupe feature a 185-horsepower four-cylinder engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is available. A 278-horsepower V6 engine is available. It comes with a six-speed automatic transmission (coupe models also offer a six-speed manual). Fuel economy estimates range from a high of 26 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway for the base Accord sedan with a CVT to 18/28 mpg city/highway for a V6 with a six-speed manual transmission. All Accords provide a nimble, but firm, ride. Steering is good but doesn’t offer much feel for the road.

The 2014 Honda Accord seats five. Cloth seats are standard and leather is available. Entering and exiting the Accord is easy, and the driver has great outward visibility. The dash layout is intuitive, with dedicated, easy-to-use radio and climate controls. There are full sets of LATCH anchors and tethers for installing child safety seats on the rear outward seats. The middle seat has a tether anchor.

Features –

The base 2014 Honda Accord comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, a four-speaker stereo, and a USB port. Higher trims include satellite radio, a seven-speaker stereo, and navigation.

2014 Honda Accord Prices –

The price of a used 2014 Honda Accord ranges from about $14,100 for the base LX trim with a manual transmission to about $21,500 for the fully loaded EX-L trim with a V6 engine. The price varies depending on the vehicle’s condition, mileage, features, and location.

How safe is the accord –

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2014 Honda Accord a five-star overall rating (out of five), scoring perfect five stars in all but the front crash test, where it earns four stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the Accord a Top Safety Pick+. Standard Accord safety features include vehicle stability assist and a rearview camera. Available features include forward collision warning and lane departure warning.

Honda Accord Is Right for Me?

The 2014 Accord sedan has six trims (LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-L V6, and Touring). The 2014 Accord Coupe has four (LX-S, EX, EX-L, and EX-L V6). The Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Accord Hybrid sedans are reviewed separately. The base Honda Accord LX sedan and LX-S coupe come with standard features like dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, and a USB port. Available features in higher trims include adaptive cruise control and lane watch blind spot monitoring. They are not worth the extra cost because they add little value. For the best combination of features and fuel economy, stick with LX sedans that have the available continuously variable automatic transmission.

The Honda Accord has above-average reliability, but you might still consider buying a certified pre-owned model. Honda extends its original new-car limited powertrain warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles for all certified pre-owned models, and it extends the new-car non-powertrain warranty to four years or 48,000 miles. If the CPO Honda you purchase is more than four years old or has more than 48,000 miles, you’ll receive a one-year/12,000-mile non-powertrain limited warranty. Honda CPO vehicles must pass a 182-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available.

So honda accord 2014 value proposition excellent and best v midsized vehicle and best features of this cars and look very cool.
