For all of you saying it isn't an LX, it IS. I own it. It was bought in Canada, and therefore it differs from the US model which does not include some features such as Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Honda makes slight variations in the Accord from market to market.
The Canadian Dollar is weaker than the US Dollar, for that reason Honda (and other manufacturers) add more features to cars in the Canadian market (as compared to the US market) in order to justify charging the higher prices necessary to profit from the sale. Most of those additional features really don’t add much to production costs.
Ive also noticed that about the Canadian Hondas. The Canadian LX is equivalent to the US EX w/o the sun roof. If you goto Honda Canada web site you can verify. Their base trim is LX Base.
I bought a 2012 Nissa Versa and was just happy I could unlock the doors without taking the keys out of my pocket and having a USB plug for my phone 😂One day I'll buy a car that is actually new and by then lord knows the kind of tech there will be.
I find that Lane Keep Assist works well when you are steering the car, but don’t rely on it to drive the car...you’ll crash. Adaptive Cruise Control works well, but can be rather ruff when stopping and accelerating. It doesn’t anticipate a stop. I like these features though and will always buy cars with these features
You are right about those features on the base model where you are. I own a 2018 EX-L 2,0T and while the tech is nice I opted for it because of the engine. This car will roll through 120 effortlessly and I mean MPH not KPH. It is a detuned version of the engine in the Civic Type-R and there are programs available to change the tuning and bring it up to almost 300 HP and around 350 FPT.
I have the touring trim level which gives you the HUD which is very nice, it shows speed, nav, speed limit signs that the front camera is constantly taking video of. Has the wireless charging pad, which, eh. Who uses that unless you find yourself having no usb cable in the car. It also has full leather seats, rear climate vents, and rear heated seats. I love the car.
I just upgraded from a base model kia optima to the touring. I am so impressed with all the bells & whistles and the crystal black pearl looks super sleek
It most be the Canadian version. Look at the steering wheel. All above the LX have the leather wrapped steering wheel vice the soft molded. I do believe u can switch out the USB connection. Its will cost you $125 for labor though. Its seen this mold done on a Ford vehicle. All comments are welcome for debate.
I got the sport 2.0 turbo. It can't drive itself other then the highway. It won't stop for Red lights or stop signs and the adaptive cruise control isn't meant for city driving when it's stop and go.
Yeah true. I just drove about 400km on the highway, and it did pretty well! The adaptive cruise control was perfect, and the lane keep assist was decent, but faltered a few times. Have you looked into Openpilot? It outfits all honda sensing vehicles with full self driving capabilities, and it's cheaper than I thought. I'm considering getting it myself.
Admittedly I don't know a whole lot about it, but it's software developed by Comma.ai that's used in conjunction with their Eon dashcam system that essentially taps into the Honda sensing features on newer Honda's and uses them to control the car.
I have a 2018 Accord with Touring trim. This car has some nice features that I use all the time. It does NOT, however, come close to driving itself. You would be out of your mind to rely on it to drive on it's own beyond a handful of seconds. Get real. Lane keep assist is nothing more than that. Get a Tesla if that's what you're looking for.
Hi Mark, did you ever change your head unit? Coz believe me if you have the accord lx it doesnt come with that kind of screen,you will only have the 7 inch non-touch screen and it no android/apple carplay. Please let me know where did uou buy the head unit? Thank you
I just got the Ex and I love it ! my last car was an accord 2012 so this 2018 is mind blowing! I'm in love . so much that I have to learn about it though. what is the driving support setting for ?
I didn’t know there’s an LX and EX, mine is 2018 but so basic , no power seats, no touch handle to unlock, no touch trunk to open , no phone charger dock, no moon roof, no leather seats , so I wonder 💭 what model mine is, my contract doesn’t say it, I paid 26,000 out the door .
He's wrong, that's not the base model accord 1.5T. The base model doesn't have nav or touch screen, he's driving the base model accord 1.5 sport, I own the base model and it has none of those features he has in the video. No Navigation or touchscreen head unit.
2018 Honda Accord Sport manual transmission owner here in the US. I love the auto high beams for night driving. A feature you didnt mention is the break hold. Perhaps that isnt included on LX??
Tf bro that's not an LX the car you showed with the lights on was but the one your driving is not!! That's more like a Sport 2.0L or EX because the LX doesn't have a touch screen tablet or keyless entry you have to use the keyfob and they also don't have leather seats

That seems like a reasonable explanation. Thanks for the info.

I have a 2019 sport 1.5 do I have the "auto pilot" feature by any chance and if so how am I able to active it?
Yes the Canadian 2018 Touring has heated steering wheel and USA Touring none ☹️
This man just sold me a Honda Accord. Great video!
Damn, this car is dope.
It is!

Haha yeah, it's crazy to think about what cars will be like even 10 years from now.
that was not a lx that was a ex dummy
aLOT has changed in 11 years...
You bet Brett!
No really
I have the Sport 1.5...love it
Honda accord is very practical car! I love it ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent job on the review! Comprehensive and hit on some great feature points that other reviews haven't.
You make me want one of these I love Honda’s

I have the same car. I love it! Hate that I hot the white one though.
I just upgraded from a base model kia optima to the touring. I am so impressed with all the bells & whistles and the crystal black pearl looks super sleek
Great tech review dude 😎
Thank you!
Here you go again. Your seriously addicted to Honda.
@@zakm4012 right he on all honda videos

@@zakm4012 yep every honda video I see he's commented on
I love this car i want it. Buy buy buy

Is that your real address at 2:37 , you should probably blur out that kind of stuff on the internet.
How do i set up the walk away auto lock? My car use to do it and it suddenly stopped
u do it from vehicle settings and security then u find walk away lock thing....
Wait... i have a sports accord and i don’t have any navigation in my dash board
Yes you do look in your menu settings I promise it’s there it might be turned off big you have it because it’s a standard feature
I got the EXL its beautiful
Congrats! Love it.
Same here. Maybe you can tell me what the solid lines vs the hollow lines mean on the LKAS?
@@jdubdoubleu solid mean not detected, and full lines are detected.
@@quintana831jj
@jdubdoubleu
Hollow lines on the display - Lane lines not detected
Solid lines - Lane lines detected
This is the guy I remember from Headphone review of MS vs Sony...
Hi there, on the dash what setting did you have on to see the turn by turn from gps? Was that only for Android or also for iOS?
I didn’t know there’s an LX and EX, mine is 2018 but so basic , no power seats, no touch handle to unlock, no touch trunk to open , no phone charger dock, no moon roof, no leather seats , so I wonder 💭 what model mine is, my contract doesn’t say it, I paid 26,000 out the door .
The best car ever Honda
My nav doesn’t appear in the dash. Is it an android only option? Cause I am using an iPhone.
Mark Jordan do u live in canada or the us?
He's wrong, that's not the base model accord 1.5T. The base model doesn't have nav or touch screen, he's driving the base model accord 1.5 sport, I own the base model and it has none of those features he has in the video. No Navigation or touchscreen head unit.
Read the pinned comment...
I want to know if i could switch my non screen out in my lx and get those features
They need to use this interior for all their vehicles why are we copying the odysseys interior?!
It's a damn good interior design
That car your driving isn’t an lx
Does the navigation arrows for Apple Maps show up on the digital dashboard like Android auto?
Clifton Blair no.
I don't think this is an LX, the base model. I own a 2018 Accord LX and it does not come with Apple Car Play or Android Auto. This is probably an EX.
Nope, it's definitely an LX. Car models differ from country to country though, the Canadian LX has different features than an LX from the US.
I feel cheated. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States of America.
Haha, I don't blame you. I would have stepped up to the Sport model if the LX didn't have android auto.
sameeee :(
US LX doesn’t have many features you showed!!!!! Damn it!!!!
Damn my 2018 accord LX doesn't have the touch screen and can't connect to my android phone.
Yeah same here might have to get it installed i think he put the wrong model, lx base model dont have those features..
Is this you car or just for testing?
It's mine! I still have it.
2018 Honda Accord Sport manual transmission owner here in the US. I love the auto high beams for night driving. A feature you didnt mention is the break hold. Perhaps that isnt included on LX??
It is actually. Just forgot to mention it. Love it in drive thru's and stop and go traffic.
How much did this cost in Canadian?
181 maple syrups
Tf bro that's not an LX the car you showed with the lights on was but the one your driving is not!! That's more like a Sport 2.0L or EX because the LX doesn't have a touch screen tablet or keyless entry you have to use the keyfob and they also don't have leather seats
It does in Canada
This is not the base model at all. At the very least, this was the 2.0L sport.
Nope, it's definitely an LX. Car models differ from country to country though, the Canadian LX has different features than an LX from the US.
Then the US is getting shafted, lol. Our base model doesn't have heated seats or Android Auto. It's a shame.
Yeah, I learned that when I was looking at reviews myself. It sucks man.
@@clevern3rd102 Here in Canada almost every car's base model does come with heated front seat, its due to extreme cold whether.
no, that has a sunroof
The radio and speakers are horrible only thing I hate about my car 🚗
this is not the base model this looks like the exl or touring
touch screen and
That’s not the lx I own the 2018 lx and it doesn’t have that system radio wise
I have a 2019 Sport 1.5T, however, I do not see navigation in my dash screen. Anyone know how to get that?
d--as that is not a lx
Canadian one
what country is this its beautiful
Canada!
8:45 ... Yeah but do they have Fortnite?
You’re stupid
