In keeping with the specs, the new-enough Honda Accord has a smaller trunk than its predecessor, which we baggage examined again in ’21. Gasp!
Fortunately, it solely misplaced two-tenths of a cubic-foot, dropping right down to 16.7 cubes. Double fortunately, that also grants it best-in-class standing. Nevertheless, we’re particularly not concerned about on-paper cargo quantity figures right here at Baggage Take a look at HQ, so let’s get the baggage out and see if the brand new Accord trunk actually is noticeably totally different from the previous one.
My god, man! Take a look at the modifications!
For the report, the brand new one is on the left. That is clearly not useful. We will want some luggage to resolve this 0.2-cubic-foot loss.
As in each baggage check I do, I take advantage of two midsize curler suitcases that may have to be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 extensive, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that simply barely match within the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that matches simply (23L x 15W x 10D). I additionally embrace my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
Here is our first indication of what is perhaps totally different. Certain, these are the identical luggage grouped in the identical means, however look nearer and see the hole within the higher proper picture (previous Accord) between the 2 black luggage. In contrast, they have been squished collectively within the new automotive. In different phrases, the wheel wells appear to be only a smidge nearer collectively.
Potential indication No. 2: There appears to be not as a lot depth. The blue and black luggage are the identical width, however one has to face up whereas the opposite will be on its stomach.
Both means, all the baggage match with excessive ease and as soon as once more the Accord has an even bigger, extra helpful cargo space than a protracted record of SUVs.
Now, let’s examine if the Accord can pull off the identical trick the previous one did: becoming the 38-quart cooler I usually use to refill bigger SUVs.
Sure!
You will word that the flowery bag is within the new Accord, whereas I had to make use of a much less inflexible bag within the previous Accord as a result of the flowery one would not fairly match … however actually, I do not know if that is as a result of the Accords are totally different or due to my bag placement or …
No matter. Take a look at all this crap you’ll be able to slot in a Honda Accord, with room to spare, I would add. This will not be as a lot as you’ll be able to slot in a Honda CR-V, nevertheless it blows away the HR-V and any variety of different small SUVs.
