2023 Honda Accord review, price and specifications

We’d recommend upgrading to the EX-L Hybrid. Not only does it add a more powerful 204-hp hybrid powertrain, but it also comes with a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display, front and rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay, and more. Android Auto, and more.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

The LX and EX trims of the Accord are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 192 horsepower and drives the front wheels via a CVT. Like previous generations of the Accord, the 2023 model doesn’t offer all-wheel drive. The hybrid powertrain takes a more prominent place in the lineup. It includes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors that combine for 204 horsepower, and is the only powertrain offered on the Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring models. Honda says it’s tweaked the suspension and steering on its family sedan to improve both ride quality and handling, and during our brief initial test drive, we really couldn’t tell much of a difference from the previous-generation model . And that’s okay, because the 2023 Accord remains as refined and fun to drive as ever. On our test track, our Touring test vehicle with the hybrid powertrain managed a cool 6.6-second zero-to-60-mph time. The handling of the Accord inspires confidence. Its steering is precise, body motions are well controlled, and the ride is compliant—a combination that drivers will surely appreciate as much as our editors do.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

According to the EPA, the 2023 Accord Hybrid is good for 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway. Fuel economy numbers for the non-hybrid Accord haven’t been released yet, but we expect it to align closely with the outgoing 2022 model, which will get 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway with the turbo 1.5-liter four- Was rated for. Cylinder. When we get a chance, we’ll take the new Accord on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and update this story with test results.

Interior, Comfort & Cargo

Like the exterior, the Accord’s cabin features a sleek design with elements borrowed from the latest Honda that help tie them in with the family DNA. The HVAC air vents, for example, hide behind an extension of the honeycomb trim, a clever design element also found on both the new Civic and CR-V SUVs. Honda says they’ve redesigned the Accord’s front seats to be more strongly supported and the trunk has been carefully shaped to hold up to 16.7 cubic feet of cargo. While the LX, EX and Sport trims come with cloth upholstery, all others come with leather.

Infotainment & Connectivity

A straightforward 7.0- or 12.3-inch touchscreen display provides easy access to the Accord’s infotainment system, and all models regardless of trim come with a 10.2-inch digital gauge display standard. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included in the lineup, but only the one with the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen offers wireless connectivity for those features. High-end Touring trims come with a wireless smartphone charging pad, 6.0-inch heads-up display, and a 12-speaker Bose stereo system.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

All Accords come standard with a suite of driver-assistance technology that Honda calls Honda Sensing. The bundle of features includes automatic emergency braking and lane-departure warning as well as convenience functions such as adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition.
