For power, abundant features, and innovative safety, there are few choices better than the 2016 Honda Accord for savvy Denver and Westminster shoppers. Now available at Fisher Honda in Boulder, the Honda Accord is everything you could want from a family sedan, and more. To demonstrate the value of this handsome car, we’ve compared it to the 2016 Ford Fusion. We think a quick review shows who the better value is.

Power and Performance

When it comes to power and responsiveness, the Accord easily outclasses the Fusion:

  • 2016 Honda Accord – The Accord can be equipped with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that is capable of 185 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque in the base model, or 189 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque in the sport trim. For more boost, drivers can select the 3.5L V6 engine that can produce 278 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque.
  • 2016 Ford Fusion – The Fusion’s base offering is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine capable of 175 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. The 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine option can increase power to 181 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque, and the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is capable of just 240 hp and 231 lb-ft of torque.

Features

The 2016 Honda Accord offers Denver and Westminster drivers more convenience features than the 2016 Ford Fusion:

  • 2016 Honda Accord – The Accord is equipped with standard dual zone air conditioning, with automatic temperature control and rear air conditioning vents. Honda also makes cargo security simple with a locking rear seatback, valet key, and remote trunk release lockout feature.
  • 2016 Ford Fusion – Drivers looking for dual zone air conditioning will have to pay extra on the Ford Fusion, but they still won’t have access to automatic temperature control or rear air conditioning vents. The Fusion doesn’t offer a lockable seat or remote lockout feature, making it easier for intruders to get into cargo areas.

Safety

Honda has a reputation for building solid, reliable cars designed to keep people safe, and nowhere is that more evident that in the engineering behind the Accord:

  • 2016 Honda Accord – The Honda accord is equipped with active head restraints, which flex during certain rear-end collisions to minimize neck and back injury. Drivers can also select the optional collision mitigation braking system, which uses sensors to alert the driver to a potential forward collision and, if the driver fails to act, applies the brakes to minimize damage and injury.
  • 2016 Ford Fusion – The Fusion doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system and, although it does have a collision mitigation system, it does not offer automatic braking, making a forward collision far more likely in the event that the driver fails to react in time.
