Design

Both the Nissan Altima and the Honda Accord have four-door designs with sleek exteriors, but the Altima is a touch longer than the Accord, which gives Cordova drivers more legroom than what they'll enjoy in the Honda sedan. Both mid-size sedans seat five passengers, but if you need to use your Altima or Accord for cargo transport, the Altima comes standard with 60/40 split rear seats and a front passenger seat that folds back so that you can pass through longer items from the trunk.

Technology

These new mid-size sedans come with all sorts of tech systems, and it's all to the benefit of Lakeland drivers enjoying the Nissan Altima or Honda Accord. But, car shoppers will find that the Nissan Altima comes standard with a variety of features, like Apple CarPlay, and amenities, like USB Type-C outlets, that cost extra or aren't available on the Honda Accord. If you want to get the most value from your next sedan purchase while enjoying a higher level of convenience, the Nissan Altima provides more than the Honda Accord.

Performance

Mixing and matching efficiency, thrills, and comfort is something that draws many Collierville car shoppers to mid-size sedans, and it's a combination you'll find in both the Nissan Altima and Honda Accord. But, the Nissan Altima has some clear advantages over the Accord because of a recent redesign that added optional all-wheel drive and the world's first variable compression turbo (VCT) engine. This engine adjusts to different driving situations by changing the fuel compression ratio, so it can be more efficient in Memphis traffic while giving you the power needed for fun once the road opens up! The Honda Accord has no such engine and doesn't offer all-wheel drive.
