2023 Honda Accord Comparison Highlights

The Honda Accord is starting a new chapter with an all-new 2023 model. Longer and sleeker, the 11th-generation Accord is an embodiment of Honda's latest design and lifestyle philosophy that improves both performance and driving excitement.

Six Accord models will be available for 2023, with four of them featuring Honda's 4th-generation two-motor hybrid system. These hybrid Accords will offer more power and more fun, and are expected to add up to over half of all Accord sales - an important aspect of Honda's electrification strategy. The traditional gasoline 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, standard for Accord LX and EX models, also received numerous enhancements to offer improved responsiveness while optimizing fuel efficiency.

But what's going to be at the top of everyone's mind is Accord's new styling, which is elegant and modern with many luxurious cues. An upright grille and blacked-out LED headlights give the front end a powerful presence, and serve as the starting point for the elongated hood and fastback-style roofline. This smooth silhouette is made possible thanks to the creative application of laser brazing technology which removes the requirement for roof molding. Now, the clean roof surface seamlessly flows into the rear end, finishing up Accord's bold aesthetic with a unique horizontal LED taillight element that spans the entire width of the vehicle.

As you move up the model lineup, you'll be treated to additional details like a black grille mesh, black side mirrors, a black rear spoiler, and larger alloy wheels. The 2023 Accord will be available in eight exterior paint colors, including three new shades: Meteorite Gray Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Canyon River Blue Metallic.

On the inside, Accord's passenger area is completely new and features class-leading overall volume. Keeping consistent with the design language found on the exterior, the cabin space showcases clean surfaces, premium materials, and lots of luxurious details, especially on surfaces that we touch often. And for enhanced comfort, all-new front Body Stabilizing Seats utilize a new frame design to hold the body better and reduce fatigue on long trips.

Modern technology is also abundant in the new Accord, with a standard 10.2-inch digital driver instrument display and a 12.3-inch color touchscreen for top trims. Support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and on the top-line Accord Touring model, you'll find Honda's first-ever integration of Google built-in. This means your favorite apps like Google Assistant, Google Maps, Play Store, and more are just a "Hey, Google" away. That makes it easy to control certain vehicle functions, get live traffic updates, or listen to your favorite podcast, without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

And, of course, the award-winning Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies comes standard on all models, and has been enhanced for the 2023 model year with features like a new wide angle camera, wide-angle radar, and improved object recognition, to name a few. Blind spot information now has a range of 82 feet, and for the first time ever on Accord, Traffic Jam Assist will help reduce the stresses of your daily commute.
