Honda Accord Anaconda (2015) review, specs, & prices in Nigeria

From when its production started in 1976, the Japanese automobile giants did not fail to consistently delight consumers with the different body designs and editions of the Honda Accord series. Ranging from hatchbacks, wagons, and coupes, the Accord label has been applied to an assortment of cars globally.

Now, predominantly a midsize sedan known for its top-of-the-class features and excellent fuel efficiency, the Honda Accord maintains its place as a top-selling model for more than 3 decades. The Honda Accord Anaconda belongs to the 9^th generation of the Honda Accord family.

It is no doubt that the Honda Anaconda earns top honors for its well-rounded combination of design and engine power. Its sleek navigation and stunning anterior look probably earned it the name Anaconda. And you only enjoy nothing less of a rewarding experience with ample head and leg room in both the front and rear compartments of the car.

Though the hood houses the volume-selling 4-cylinder engine, the car impresses with a power train that shows off with a spur from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds, together with a 31 mpg fuel economy EPA rating. The Hybrid version, however, comes with a fuel economy of 47 mpg. V6 models are also available.

Considering the features that come with even the base model, the manufacturers are quite generous. With iPod or USB integration, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a rearview camera, we conclude that the Anaconda offers more value than most cars produced in the same year.

Here at Naijauto.com, we bring you the most comprehensive reviews of the cars you love the most. Read on to find out why this beautiful car received so many accolades.

By its exterior design that went ahead of time, the Honda Accord was a soul-stirring choice for car enthusiasts

Coming in 2 versions of the coupe and sedan, the Honda Accord Anaconda is available in the base 4-cylinder engine and 3.5 litre V6 options, with 5 trims and 3 trims respectively while the 4-cylinder and V6 versions of the coupe offer 4 trims for the sooner and 2 trims for the latter.

The table below shows the trims that apply to each version, which will be further explained later in the review.

The 4-cylinder LX trim features 16-inch wheels. The LX-S, EX and EX-L models come with 17-inch wheels. While the Sport and V6 coupe trims are equipped with 18-inch wheels.

Generally, the 2015 Anaconda has a high aesthetic appeal with perfectly aligned contours at the upper and lower sides of the doors. The EX-L V6 with Navigation and Touring sits on top of the pack, adding LED crystal headlights and heated mirrors (which can also be found on the EX trim) to its exterior.

Given its powerful engine options, smooth drive and excellent handling, the least we could say is that the performance of the Honda Accord Anaconda 2015 is satisfying. All trims of the Accord 2015 are front-wheel drive, and the base model comes with a 2.4L engine which boasts 185hp and 181 pound-feet of torque (189hp and 182 pound-feet in the Sport trim) while 3.5L V6 engines crank out 278hp.

The Anaconda is lauded for its impressive jump and excellent maneuverability. Its average time to reach 60 mph from zero is 7.8 seconds. The handling and braking, however, has been criticized to compromise its impressive acceleration and quickness. But consumers will rather ignore those cons because of its fuel economy and engine power.

The combined fuel economy of the Anaconda 2015 base model is estimated at 31 mpg EPA. If fuel efficiency is one of your major concerns in buying an automobile, you may want to consider the hybrid fuel options which boast an impressive EPA rating of 47 mpg.

Two options for the engine include a 2.4L unit, the other 3.5L
