The Honda Accord has long been a symbol of reliability and practicality for New Zealand drivers. The 2019+ models continue this legacy with sleek styling, a comfortable ride, and a range of efficient engine options. While renowned for their longevity, it's essential to be aware of some specific points to ensure your Accord stays in top condition on our roads.
The 2019+ Honda Accord is generally reliable, but some issues can arise. Carbon build-up on the intake valves can be a concern, particularly with the turbocharged engines; consider induction cleaning as part of your maintenance. Check for proper functionality of the electronic driver-assist features (Honda Sensing), as sensor malfunctions can occur. Also, monitor the condition of the continuously variable transmission (CVT), ensuring fluid changes are performed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The automatic tailgate struts can sometimes weaken over time.
