Honda Accord: A Legend for Good Reason
There is perhaps no big-name sedan more ubiquitous than the Honda Accord. This oft-awarded and ever-popular midsize is a driver favorite year after year-and for good reason. It sets the bar high for other midsize sedans, doing so with style and grace.
When a vehicle sports the Honda name, you can rest assured that it upholds Honda's well-earned reputation for quality, safety, longevity, and reliability. That's a mark in the Accord's favor from the start, but when you look closer at what the Accord has to offer, you'll be pleased to see that it goes above and beyond what you can expect to find in many of its midsize competitors on the road. You can't put a price on the peace of mind you feel when you know your new car is a perennial winner.
The Accord is a great family vehicle, but that doesn't mean it's boring. In fact, it's far from it. It's fun to drive, with engaging handling and a smooth ride. Passengers enjoy the comfortable seats and spacious cabin, so long road trips and daily commutes become less of a chore and more like a break from the chaotic world outside.
With impressive gas mileage and plenty of driver-assistance features, the Accord is a sensible sedan that never forgets the importance of comfort and convenience.

What's New in the 2023 Honda Accord?
The 2023 Accord is an all-new model that marks the entry of the 11th generation of Honda's popular midsize sedan. Sporting new exterior and interior design language, it's now wider, longer, and more spacious. Honda is also stepping up its hybridization push, as only the bottom two of six available trims are non-hybrid. The base engine is a 1.5-liter 192 horsepower engine, but stepping up to the hybrid sees an impressive 204 horsepower system total, coupled with over 45 mpg in average driving. Inside, you've got a standard digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on hybrid trims, while non-hybrid variants receive a 7-inch unit. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range. Safety features include the latest Honda Sensing suite and 10 airbags.
The base 2022 Accord comes with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 192 horsepower, which gives the Accord a responsive and refined feel behind the wheel. The more powerful Touring has a robust 2.0-liter 4-cylinder 252-horsepower engine.
The 2022 Accord comes in five trim levels: LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition, EX-L, and Touring.
A Brief History of the Honda Accord
The timeless Accord made its debut in 1976. A larger iteration of the Honda Civic, the Accord was originally available only in a two-door hatchback style. The Accord found instant success among drivers who liked the fact that it offered more space and power while still remaining economical and reliable.
The years that followed added features that enhanced comfort (velour seats, anyone?), added options (the four-door sedan appeared on the scene in 1979), and improved the engine for extra power and capability.
A revamped Accord appeared in 1982 with a restyled body and more upscale interior. The engine continued to gain power, and features kept up with advancements in the tech world. 1990 saw another major overhaul, and the Accord gained not just a larger engine and body, but a bigger fanbase.
The mid-1990s enhanced power and safety with engine upgrades and the addition of standard dual front airbags. During this period, the first Accord V6 engine appeared.
Changes over the course of the late '90s, 2000s, and today continued to improve upon the Accord in order to keep it current and competitive. The unwavering popularity of this Honda mainstay is proof positive that it is a car that knows how to appeal to its market segment.
