2019 Toyota C-HR vs. 2019 Honda Accord

Given the variety of cars available in the market, you can be literally spoilt for choice. For someone looking to pick between the 2019 Honda Accord and the 2019 Toyota C-HR, the below comparison will help you in making a choice.

Design & Style

The 2019 Honda Accord is a 5-seater car, but can actually seat only 4, with a substandard seating space for full-sized adults. Better not take the rear seat, if you are tall. Some critics feel the seating position is lower than normal. It comes standard with cloth upholstery, power-adjustable seats and leather-trimmed seats as standard. In this competitive segment, the interior fails to impress.  

The 2019 Toyota C-HR is a 5-seater car that can comfortably accommodate people of all sizes. You get ample support and stability on longer trips. It comes standard with cloth sport seats and a leather-wrapped shift knob. Optional amenities include heated front seats, leather wrapped steering wheel and leather upholstery. The interior has every trim piece designed flawlessly, and the high-end styling adds to the overall appeal.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Honda Accord comes standard with an infotainment interface featuring Bluetooth, USB port and the fantastic 4-speaker. However, basic amenities such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are still missing in the base model. The system requires a bit of learning. Standard safety features include traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and forward collision warning.

Toyota C-HR comes standard with an Entune infotainment system featuring USB port, Siri Eyes Free, speaker stereo system and 8-inch screen. The driver-focused technology ensures the system is easy to use, even when you are driving. Furthermore, you have a long list of safety features, which include the award-winning Toyota Safety Sense suite. It is a complete package comprising of automatic high beams, dynamic cruise control and pre-collision system.

Performance

Speaking of performance, the 2019 Honda Accord disappoints us with a 192-HP engine that is only good enough to move the vehicle in city traffic. Not to mention, it eats up a lot of fuel as well. This is not the case with the 2019 C-HR which comes with a rigid powertrain and a CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission). It offers drama-free acceleration, making it easy to merge on highways.

The Bottom Line

With nimble handling, comfortable interior and high safety ratings, the 2019 Toyota C-HR is a perfect mix of aesthetic and functional appeal. It is smooth when accelerating, and its stylish cabin materials add to the overall value of the car. Accord fails to outclass C-HR in some key aspects.
