Summary:
The 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport blends everyday usability with just enough punch to keep you engaged. But in a world that’s slowly shifting toward hybrids and SUVs — and with newer models like the 2023 Honda Accord stepping in with big changes — does this version still hold up? Let’s break it down.

2022 Honda Accord Exterior – Clean, Subtle, But Sporty

Before we jump behind the wheel, let’s talk design. Honda has always kept the Accord’s style fairly conservative, even in the Sport trim. That said, this 2022 model adds a sharper, more athletic edge compared to older ones like the 2019 Honda Accord.

With gloss black trim on the grille and LED lighting across the front, the 2022 Accord Sport plays the part well. The Sonic Gray Pearl paint job gives it that slightly unique vibe — less common than white or black, but not loud.

Those 19-inch two-tone alloys? Still better looking than what you’d get on many midsize sedans, even newer ones. Honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to spot major exterior differences unless you line it up next to the Honda Accord 2023, which brings a more coupe-like front and sleeker lines.

2022 Honda Accord Interior – Roomy and Driver-Focused, Like an Accord Should Be

If you’ve ever sat inside a 2021 Honda Accord or even a Honda Accord 2019, this cabin will feel very familiar — but not in a bad way. The layout is clean, everything is where it should be, and space is generous.

Rear Seat Space

In the back, this thing feels more like a full-size sedan than a midsize. I’m six feet tall and could stretch out with room to spare behind my own driving position. The 2022 Accord carries over that signature rear legroom advantage that’s always made the Accord a family favorite — even way back since the 2019 Honda Accord model days.

Rear air vents, USB ports, and a fold-down armrest make long drives comfy for passengers. That’s still something some rivals don’t offer unless you go up in price.

Up Front

It’s all very Honda: solid build, no squeaks, no rattles. The Sport trim brings a mix of leatherette and fabric seats, aluminum pedals, and that classic no-nonsense layout. Everything feels like it’ll last — which, based on the 2021 Honda Accord and older models, it likely will.

The 8-inch touchscreen might not be flashy like the new Honda Accord 2023, but it’s functional. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and real knobs for volume and climate? Yes please.

Driving the 2.0T – Quiet Muscle for the Everyday Commute

Honda swapped out the V6 back in 2018 for this turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder, and it still kicks with 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. That’s more power than both the 2021 Honda Accord 1.5T and even the V6 from the 2019 Honda Accord.

Mated to a 10-speed automatic, the power delivery is buttery. Around town, it’s smooth. On the highway, it’s got serious pull. And in Sport mode, it holds gears longer, downshifts a bit more aggressively, and tightens up throttle response.

It’s not a full-blown sports sedan, but it absolutely pulls harder than anything in this price bracket. It’ll beat most 2023 Honda Accord trims off the line — especially since Honda dropped the 2.0T from the latest lineup.

2022 Honda Accord Handling and Ride – Balanced for the Real World

Now, if you’re thinking about carving canyons or mountain roads, this isn’t quite a Civic Type R. But the 2022 Accord Sport 2.0T handles way better than the average midsize sedan.

Steering is quick, though it lacks feedback. It leans a bit in corners, but grip is solid — although better tires than the stock Michelins would help. The Honda Accord 2023 might feel a little more refined, but it doesn’t offer this 2.0T punch anymore.

The suspension tuning strikes a great balance — not too soft, not too stiff. You could commute in this every day, drive it hard on the weekend, and still not hate life during pothole season.

2022 Honda Accord Fuel Economy

Rated at 22 city / 32 highway / 26 combined, the 2.0T Sport gives you performance and decent efficiency. Compared to the Honda Accord 2019 V6 or even the earlier 2021 Honda Accord, it’s right on par — though the newer hybrid Honda Accord 2023 will beat it if you’re focused purely on MPG.

Trunk Space

Still a class leader at 17 cubic feet, with folding rear seats (60/40 split). If you’ve had a 2019 Honda Accord, you’ll feel right at home — nothing much changed here, and that’s a good thing.

Final Thoughts – The Last of Its Kind?

Let’s be real: the 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport is kinda the end of an era. The Honda Accord 2023 dropped the 2.0T completely and went all-in on hybrid power. If you love a powerful, torque-rich engine with room for the fam and don’t want to go full EV or hybrid just yet — this might be your last shot.

Compared to the 2021 Honda Accord or even the 2019 Honda Accord, the 2022 model refines things just enough without losing the essence of what made it great.
