@@DTMBUILT Nope, CVT. The N comes with a dual clutch. Hybrid I believe comes with a 6 speed conventional automatic, the regular gas *non N models* come with a CVT as the only option transmission if I’m not mistaken. N also comes with a 6 speed manual.
I'd rather have a Hyundai Elantra no joke. A 28k hybrid Elantra has better MPG, wireless android auto/carplay, heated and ventilated seats w/ memory, a non useless/dogshit bose stereo(accord has 4 speaker 100w.. WTF), power seats w/lumbar(accord is all manual), parking sensors, blind spot assistance, adaptive high beams, nice melange gray interior, better wheels, and superior transmission. The list goes on, I understand the accord IS a larger car, with almost 4" more rear legroom, same head room though, and 2.4 cubic feet more of boot space. But there comes a point when the sacrifice for a smaller car is better. also the sonata limited is 30k if you do need the larger vehicle and definitely has a superior interior. If wondering, the accord hybrid sport(same engine as base accord) is 31k and doesn't add that much over the base model, and is lacking equipment no doubt.
all but the accord lx have a 12 way power driver seat, 2 ways more than the elantra. the accord touring also has a 10 speaker 450 watt sound system, and the lx has a 4 speaker 160 watt. don’t really know where you got 100 watts from
I’m with you, even the base souls and fortes have the lane and radar cruise assistance standard, and they work better than in any other car. Kia knows how to package a car.
The CVT Fake Shifts On The Hyundai Elantra Is Surprisingly Very Realistic (Although I Prefer When CVTs Stay At A Constant RPM Because The Fake Shifts On The CVTs Really Irritates Me)!
I don't understand why would they use a CVT transmission if they're going to simulate shifts? Like isn't the whole point of a CVT is that it's linear or whatever? Like use an actual transmission at that point

I think they put in the simulated shift to not having it annoyingly loud at higher rpms. Also with those CVTs it's possible to down shift with the paddle shifters. Great for engine braking, a quick overtake or accelerating at an on-ramp on the Autobahn for example.

This was about as fast as the accord, but this has way less horsepower, a better operating CVT, and I bet it drove better also.
It has an IVT, which is essentially a better CVT
Way quicker than a 1.5 accord. I had my timed several times between 7.2-7.8 seconds. Started at 0:00 and arrived at 60 by 0:09
To me, it drove WAY better than the Accord!
