The 2019 Honda Accord comes in sedan form with three trim levels: LX, Sport, and EX-L

The 2019 Honda Accord is a four-door sedan available in three main trim levels, each with different standard features and price points. Honda did not offer a coupe version that year — the Accord switched to sedan-only starting in 2018. The three trims are LX (the base model), Sport (the middle option), and EX-L (the highest trim). All three share the same body shape and wheelbase but differ in what comes built in and what you can add on.

Each trim level comes standard with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, depending on which you choose. The LX and Sport trims offer both engine options, while the EX-L comes standard with the 2.0-liter. Both engines pair with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that sends power to the front wheels.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2019 Accord is a four-door sedan only, with no coupe or convertible option available that model year.
  • Three trim levels exist — LX, Sport, and EX-L — each with different standard features and engine choices.
  • The LX and Sport trims let you choose between a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, while the EX-L comes with the 2.0-liter standard.
  • Interior and exterior features vary by trim, with the EX-L including leather seats, a sunroof, and more advanced safety technology as standard.

LX trim: base model with essential features

The LX is the entry-level 2019 Accord and includes the fundamentals: power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and a 5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. It comes with Honda Sensing, which is Honda's suite of driver-information features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping information, and collision mitigation braking.

The LX interior uses cloth upholstery and a manual-adjustable driver's seat. Outside, you get 16-inch steel wheels as standard, though 17-inch alloy wheels are available as an option. The LX does not include a sunroof, leather seats, or a power-adjustable steering column as standard.

Sport trim: added comfort and handling features

The Sport trim builds on the LX by adding a larger 7-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power-adjustable driver's seat. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped, and the interior trim includes aluminum accents. You also get 17-inch alloy wheels as standard instead of the 16-inch steel wheels on the LX.

The Sport trim does not include leather seats or a sunroof as standard, but both can be added through available packages. The Sport suspension is tuned slightly differently than the LX to provide a firmer ride, though both use the same independent double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension design.

EX-L trim: leather, sunroof, and premium features

The EX-L is the top trim for 2019 and comes standard with leather-trimmed seats, a power sunroof, and an 8-inch touchscreen with navigation built in. The driver's seat is power-adjustable in all directions, and the steering wheel is heated. You also get a power-adjustable steering column, which lets you move the wheel up and down electronically.

The EX-L includes 18-inch alloy wheels as standard and comes with a more advanced version of Honda Sensing that adds traffic sign recognition. The interior uses higher-quality materials throughout, and ambient interior lighting is standard. The EX-L does not offer the 1.5-liter engine — it comes with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine only.

Engine and transmission choices

The 2019 Accord offers two turbocharged engines. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque and is available on the LX and Sport trims. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque and is available on all three trims, though it is standard only on the EX-L.

Both engines use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, which let you manually control the transmission if you prefer. The 2.0-liter engine delivers noticeably better acceleration and highway passing power, while the 1.5-liter is more fuel-efficient for city and highway driving combined.

Interior and exterior color options

The 2019 Accord exterior colors include Pearl White, Sonic Gray, Modern Steel, Sonic Blue, Radiant Red, and Obsidian Blue. Some colors may have been region-specific or subject to availability, so checking with a dealer about what was actually offered in your area is worth doing if you are researching a used model.

Interior colors vary by trim. The LX and Sport offer a standard gray cloth interior, with a black cloth interior available. The EX-L comes with a standard black leather interior, and a tan leather interior is available as an option. Leather interiors on the EX-L include perforated leather on the seat surfaces for better breathability.

Available packages and add-ons

Honda offered several packages that bundle features together at a lower cost than buying them individually. The Sport trim could add a Leather Package that included leather seats and a sunroof. The EX-L could add a Navigation Package, though the 8-inch touchscreen already includes navigation as standard on that trim — this package primarily added upgrades to the audio system.

Individual options available across trims included remote start, a power moonroof (on LX and Sport), heated front seats, and upgraded audio systems. The availability of specific packages and options varied by region and dealer, so the exact configuration you find may differ depending on where the vehicle was originally sold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Honda make a 2019 Accord coupe?

No. Honda discontinued the Accord coupe after the 2017 model year. Starting in 2018, the Accord became a sedan-only model. If you are looking for a two-door Honda from that era, the Civic coupe was still available in 2019.

What is the difference between the 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter engines in real-world driving?

The 2.0-liter feels noticeably faster, especially when merging on highways or passing other cars. The 1.5-liter is adequate for daily driving but takes longer to accelerate. Fuel economy is better with the 1.5-liter, though both are turbocharged and relatively efficient for their power output.

Can you add a sunroof to the LX trim?

The LX can be ordered with a power moonroof as an individual option, though it is not part of a bundled package. The Sport can add it through the Leather Package, and the EX-L comes with a power sunroof as standard.

What safety features come standard on all 2019 Accord trims?

All three trims include Honda Sensing, which covers adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping information, collision mitigation braking, and road departure mitigation. The EX-L adds traffic sign recognition to this suite. All trims also include standard airbags, stability control, and backup camera.
