Review: Honda Accord

From the 1976 hatchback to today's hybrid, find specs, comparisons, and buying advice for any Accord.

The Accord's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 192 horsepower and returns an EPA-estimated 38 mpg highway in the base trims — figures that make a credible case for the sedan segment's continued relevance. Steering weight and chassis tuning lean toward driver engagement without sacrificing ride compliance on broken pavement.

Inside, rear-seat legroom exceeds most competitors in the midsize class, and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster pairs with a standard 10.2-inch infotainment display across most trim levels. Honda Sensing — automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise — comes standard, removing a common negotiation point at the dealership.

The verdict

Highs, lows & bottom line

Highs

  • Refined turbocharged powertrain with real urgency
  • Spacious rear seat rivals near-luxury sedans
  • Honda Sensing suite standard across all trims

Lows

  • Hybrid premium adds significant cost over base
  • Infotainment touchscreen lacks physical shortcut buttons
  • Sport trim's adaptive dampers firm up harshly

Bottom line

The Accord remains the benchmark midsize sedan for buyers who want genuine driving engagement, a genuinely adult interior, and long-term reliability without paying luxury-brand prices.
