Differences Between the 2019 Accord and 2019 Altima
One way in which these cars are similar, however, is the starting MSRP, with the Accord having just a slightly lower starting MSRP of $23,720.* But, value is just as important, and it’s worth noting that the Accord comes standard with Adaptive Cruise Control, while the Altima does not. Adaptive Cruise Control is often considered more of a high-end tech feature available on higher trim level models, but with the Accord, you get it standard along with the Lane Keeping Assist System, Auto High-Beam Headlights and Traffic Sign Recognition System. Other features found standard on the Accord but not the Altima include carpeted floor mats, dual-zone front automatic climate control and LED headlights.
