2026 Honda Accord

The 2023 Accord is treated to an evolutionary redesign, growing in size, adding convenience features, and bolstering its safety feature roster. There are six trims to choose from, stepping up from the modestly equipped LX to a well-dressed Touring that aims to rival luxury-branded sedans. The LX and EX use an updated 192-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. All other versions have a 204-hp hybrid. Top trims feature Honda’s largest-ever touchscreen--a 12.3-inch display. AEB with pedestrian detection, LKA, and adaptive cruise control are all standard. Plus there is a standard rear seat belt reminder, and a rear seat reminder to warn of a child or pet potentially left behind. For 2025, the EX trim was replaced with a new SE trim, offering a sporty blacked out appearance and more features than the base LX.
