Overview

What's New

Honda has introduced a fully redesigned Accord for the 2023 model year. The midsize SUV arrives with more upscale styling, a larger cabin, an updated powertrain lineup, and new tech features. The 2023 Honda Accord is available as a hybrid, but that model is covered separately.

Choosing Your Honda Accord

Honda is keeping things easy for consumers, as the 2023 Accord will be available in two trims: LX and EX. Pricing for the LX starts at $28,390, while the EX is priced at $30,155 including destination.

Engine Choices

The Accord is only available with one engine for 2023. The midsize sedan comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque.

This engine is basically the same one found in the previous-gen Accord. The engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Unlike some midsize sedans in the segment, the Accord is only available with front-wheel drive.

When it comes to fuel economy, the Accord is rated at up to 29 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway, and 32 mpg combined. These represent small decreases compared to the outgoing model.

For better fuel economy, the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid may be a smart upgrade. It gets up to 48 mpg in overall driving on some trims.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

While the 2023 Accord’s wheelbase goes unchanged for the new model year, the sedan is 2.8 inches longer than before. The sedan’s front track was also widened by 0.6 inches. Honda claims the Accord’s larger size results in class-leading interior space with 105.7 cubic feet of passenger space and 40.8 inches of rear legroom.

The Accord does offer some of the most rear legroom space in the class, handily beating the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Subaru Legacy. The extra interior space should make the Accord more comfortable for up to five people.

The Accord offers up to 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space in its trunk, which the automaker claims is the most in the class.

Safety Features

The base LX trim comes with Honda Sensing as standard equipment. The suite includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam assist, blind spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition. Traffic Jam Assist is also standard on the Accord and handles most of the driving at speeds of up to 45 mph.

Moving up to the EX trim brings blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

Connectivity

Honda offers the Accord with a standard seven-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Other standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, four audio speakers, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and two front USB-C ports. The EX trim gets eight audio speakers.

2023 Honda Accord LX – MSRP From $28,390

The entry-level LX trim starts things off with cloth upholstery, automatic climate control, remote start, keyless entry, 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, and a self-opening trunk.

Honda does not offer any optional features on the LX trim.

2023 Honda Accord EX – MSRP From $30,155

For an extra $1,765, the EX trim adds a moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated exterior mirrors, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats.

CarsDirect Tip

Honda saves all of its high-end tech and upscale convenience features for the 2023 Accord Hybrid. So, the gas-powered Accord doesn’t come with much on either front. With that being said, we think the EX is worth the upgrade since it comes with slightly more features for a reasonable increase in pricing.

Maintaining the legend. It’s been 41 years since Honda started manufacturing Accords at their Ohio manufacturing facility, and a great deal has changed with this 11th-generation model. Redesigned both inside and out for 2023, the Accord has adopted a curiously bland appearance. Its almost characterless nose gives way to a side profile whose roofline could have been traced from a picture of an Audi A7. At the rear, things are more characterful, with the old C-shaped clusters dropped in favor of tiered lights that almost meet at the central Honda badge.

Considering it’s consistently been the best-selling Honda on sale in America, it was perhaps inevitable that evolution would trump revolution. All the same, the Accord looks more like a stretched Civic than a rival for the Subaru Legacy or Nissan Altima.

Cabin fever. The Accord may not be as stylish outside as you’d hope from a brand-new model, but the cabin has seen some radical changes over the outgoing 2022 model. A central mesh strip runs the width of the dash, with only a quartet of rockers hinting at its ventilation role – it may get clogged with dust over time, but it looks stunning in a showroom. Three simple and clear climate dials stand below this mesh band, while a small seven-inch touchscreen caps the dash. At least there’s a 10.2-inch driver information screen as standard.

A 16.7 cubic foot trunk is generous by class standards, incorporating hidden underfloor storage, while rear seat occupants enjoy almost 41 inches of legroom. That’s better than in many crossovers and SUVs. Headroom is also impressive. The doors open wide for easy access and can accommodate Thermos-sized water bottles. Whatever else the Accord may be, it’s certainly spacious, and we’re delighted to see the return of a mechanical gearshift knob in lieu of the outgoing model’s buttons.

Honda Accord

Not what it used to be. Honda’s focus on the hybrid Accord has seen the deletion of the old 252-hp turbocharged gas engine. Non-hybrid buyers are therefore forced to accept a 192 hp 1.5-liter turbo unit mated to a revised CVT transmission that continues to be far noisier than it should be. Fuel efficiency has dropped, from 33 mpg to 32 on the combined cycle, and the engine makes too much noise despite peak power arriving at just 1,700 rpm.

Noise notwithstanding, road manners are otherwise decent. The Accord rides comfortably on its standard 17-inch wheels, and the front seats have been redesigned to offer more support. There’s no need to mourn the absence of adaptive suspension from the options list since the suspension has been revised to improve comfort and grip in the front-drive-only Accord. In terms of driver aids, Honda has thrown everything it’s got into the mix – blind spot monitoring, traffic jam assistance, active lane/cruise control, and the ubiquitous automatic emergency braking. The NHTSA and IIHS have yet to fully test this new model, but we’re confident it’ll perform strongly.

Modest equipment. With only two trim levels to choose from, gas-powered Accords are somewhat on the basic side. An LX model will set you back $28,390, while an EX costs $30,705. There are none of the big-car features found on hybrid models like heated leather seats or wireless device charging; LX buyers make do with more prosaic specifications such as automatic lights, push-button start, single-zone climate, and manual seat adjustment. EX at least offers ten-way power and two-way lumbar adjustment for the driver’s seat, with heating for both front seat occupants; there’s also an eight-speaker stereo in lieu of LX’s paltry four speakers. Who thought that was enough in 2023?

When you consider how much equipment other midsize sedans offer, either as standard or via the options list, it seems Honda has deliberately hobbled its gas-powered Accord models to maximize uptake in the (far better equipped) hybrid models. One positive to note – two of the warranty period’s three years will be covered by scheduled maintenance.

Final thoughts. It’s impossible to review the Accord without concluding that it’s the poor relation to its hybrid sibling. The gas-powered Accord is noisier and slower, has far less equipment or choice, and achieves fuel economy figures on the wrong side of mediocre. Quite why Honda has decided to disincentivize sales of gas models is something only they can comment on, but it’s clearly a deliberate strategy. Because the gas engine is so underpowered and rowdy, it’s hard to recommend the Accord as a driver’s car, while the bland exterior styling won’t win any admirers and the infotainment screen is far too small. Why is seven inches of on-screen real estate the maximum offered on gas models when every Hybrid gets a 12.3-inch screen with wireless smartphone mirroring and built-in Alexa?

The Accord does have some merit, most notably its spacious interior and superb build quality. It’s packed with safety aids and should sail through crash testing, while the ride and seats are much improved from the outgoing tenth-generation model. Even so, this two-trim one-engine range can’t hope to compete in today’s cut-throat sedan sector. With competitors like the mechanically similar Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata outstripping it in terms of equipment and choice, many would-be buyers will simply drift away to other dealerships if they’re not willing to pay the $4,600 hybrid premium.
