2019 Honda Accord vs Mazda6

You’re looking for a sporty sedan that doesn’t sacrifice fuel efficiency while traveling the streets of Bloomington, Columbus, and Bedford. While the 2019 Honda Accord and 2019 Mazda6 may seem like equal competitors on the outside, taking a closer look can quickly reveal the differences between these two vehicles.

At Andy Mohr Honda, we’ve put together this car comparison to show you how appearances can sometimes be deceiving. If you’re ready to learn about some of the capabilities and amenities that both vehicles have to offer, keep reading this 2019 Honda Accord vs. Mazda6 guide.

2019 Honda Accord vs Mazda6 Performance Capabilities

Arguably one of the most important aspects of a smooth and sporty ride comes from the heart of the operation: the engine. Both Honda and Mazda understand this, which is why these vehicles offer turbo engines with exceptional horsepower.

Turbo Engine Capabilities
Honda	Honda	Mazda
1.5L engine	2.0L engine	SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T engine
192 horsepower	252 horsepower	250 horsepower
192 lb-ft torque	273 lb-ft torque	310 lb-ft torque

Mindful fuel economy is something that the Honda has put extra thought into. While both turbo engines in the Accord share an impressive gas mileage, the hybrid tops all other offered engines.

With the Honda hybrid, you get a whopping EPA-estimated 48 city/48 highway MPG in the Hybrid, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims.¹

The Mazda6, meanwhile, achieves an EPA-estimated 26 city/35 highway MPG. That unfortunately means that the gas mileage in the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L engine can’t beat the numbers offered in the engine of the Accord.

Interior Comfort the Way You Like It

Remaining comfortable from the shortest to longest of rides is essential. Both the Honda Accord and Mazda6 have available heated front and rear seats as well as ventilated front seats to assure comfort for all passengers.

One major difference between these two vehicles is the ability to configure the driver and front passenger seats to their specific needs. The Mazda6 has an available 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support. It also offers a 6-way power front passenger seat. Although this is impressive, the Honda Accord takes these features and turns them up a notch.

The Accord has an optional driver’s seat with 12-way power adjustment, including 4-way power lumbar support. Taking comfort even further, the Honda Accord has an available 2-position memory system, so you and a second driver can easily reach maximum comfort with the touch of a button.

Technology or Bust: Honda Accord vs Mazda6

Remaining connected in the busy world we live in while also being safe is a high priority for both sporty sedans.

Both vehicles offer 8-inch touchscreen displays with Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and more. However, to assure you remain connected no matter your phone’s battery life, the Honda Accord has an available wireless phone charger.

Furthermore, your passengers can enjoy Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities to stay connected with their devices no matter what.

An additional technology that comes standard in the Honda Accord but not in the Mazda6 is a Traffic Sign Recognition system. This feature will display a traffic sign icon onto the driver interface and Head-Up Display (if equipped) to alert you of the speed on that road. With this feature, you’ll always know exactly what’s headed your way while driving.
