The 10th generation Honda Accord (2018–2022) represents the most significant redesign in the model's recent history. It shed weight, gained turbocharged engines across the range, and introduced Honda Sensing safety technology as standard on most trims. In Nigeria, it has become the benchmark executive sedan against which all others are measured.
Tokunbo (Foreign Used)
₦18.0M – ₦35.0M
Nigerian Used
₦14.0M – ₦28.0M
Brand New (Authorised)
₦45.0M – ₦55.0M
Tokunbo versions sourced from the US or Canada generally come with full auction records and known mileage, making them the safer buy despite the premium. Nigerian used examples are cheaper but require more thorough inspection — particularly the CVT fluid condition and any history of flooding.

Repair cost: ₦800k – ₦2.0M
The 1.5T engine can produce a rattling noise on cold starts caused by the Variable Timing Control actuator. More common in high-mileage examples. Fix involves replacing the actuator assembly.
Repair cost: ₦120k – ₦300k

Repair cost: ₦80k – ₦250k
Lagos road conditions accelerate front lower control arm bushing and ball joint wear. Symptoms include clunking over bumps and pulling to one side. Budget for suspension refresh every 60,000–80,000km in Nigerian conditions.

A clean tokunbo Honda Accord 2018–2022 sells for ₦18M to ₦35M depending on trim, mileage, and source country. US-sourced units are most common. Nigerian used examples go for ₦14M to ₦28M.
Yes. The 1.5T is the most fuel efficient, averaging 7–9L/100km in Lagos traffic. At ₦700/litre, expect to spend roughly ₦60,000–₦80,000 monthly for a Lagos daily commute.
The range includes LX (base), Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring. In Nigeria, most tokunbo arrive in Sport or EX-L trim. The Touring trim with its 2.0T engine is rare and commands a significant premium.
With proper maintenance using genuine Honda CVT fluid and changes every 40,000km, the CVT can last 200,000km or more. Neglected fluid is the number one cause of early failure.
Authorised Honda dealers operate in Lagos (Honda Place, Lekki), Abuja, and Port Harcourt. Independent Honda specialists in Ladipo and Ikeja are more affordable and often equally competent for routine servicing.
Yes. The Accord retains value better than most competitors. A 2018 model bought in 2020 for ₦14M now sells for ₦22M–₦28M due to naira depreciation and strong demand for clean tokunbo.
