Mirroring the best!
The Honda Accord was a fully redesigned hybrid in 2023 — with the same upscale design, prominent body lines and an expansive cabin within, giving drivers and passengers alike an experience they have come to know and love in this mid-size sedan! Unchanged heading into the new year, this beloved model, complete with four trims (Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring)
Here’s more!
Exterior/interior look!
A simple, upscale design which is both clean and cohesive is found here, which includes a front end featuring slim headlights and a rectangular grille, smooth edges and a tidy front air intake at the bottom bumper. The headlights and taillights are connected by a prominent body line, with the rear roofline boasting a more distinguished rake compared to previous generations. The front end is rooted in distinction with an active shutter grille shielded by a glass-black mesh panel.
At back, the Accord features wrap-around taillights that are connected by a horizontal bar and a squared-off rear bumper.
Sport Hybrid, Sport L-Hybrid and Touring Hybrid trims boast unique 19-inch alloy wheel designs that accentuate their individual style.
All-new LED headlights have a dramatic look, day or night, thanks to a new dual-low-beam de-sign with black-out housing.
Leather-trimmed seating is also found within and is rooted in comfort and style. The Accord cabin accommodates up to five adults, and is presented with ample rear legroom and headroom to keep passengers rooted in comfort at all times.
Also inside, new body-stabilizing seats provide added comfort and are available heated and ventilated with automatic climate control.
Inside, a tiered dashboard featuring an expansive flat section which rises to house the instrument cluster is presented, as well as the touchscreen which is placed on top of the dashboard yet positioned closer to the front to allow for ease of reach. The only physical control for the screen is a single audio dial.
Occupants enjoy Bose Premium Sound, with a center point surround-sound technology creating concert-like acoustics, which uses a proprietary algorithm to convert your favorite music into multiple channels. A one-touch power moonroof is another great amenity within.
Power here!
The Honda Accord is available with two powertrains, with the base model equipped with a turbo-charged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. The Accord Hybrid comes with an upgraded powertrain in its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. Total output is rated at 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. Both powertrains come with a continuously variable automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive is standard on each and every Accord.
Tech savvy!
The Accord for 2023 features available Google built-in as well as an extra-wide 12.3-inch touch screen. Drivers enjoy intuitive, hands-free connectivity to media, navigation and much more! The new touchscreen features swipe functionality and an extra-wide display, resulting in a large, clear view of maps and other important apps. Leading technology is also made clear in customizable Driver Information Interface that shows audio information, range and vehicle status.
Within the Touring Hybrid trim is a Head-Up Display that projects vital information for the driver directly onto the windshield, offering clear views of the speedometer, navigation directions and Honda Sensing status.
Safety first!
Safety features abound thanks to the Honda Sensing driver-assist suite of safety features. This is available on each Accord and is expected to also be in place in this new model year. Key safety features which come as standard include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition and blind spot monitoring. Rear cross-traffic alert and low-speed braking control come as options.
