The 2023 Honda Accord, now in its 11th generation, continues the legacy of a beloved family sedan that first appeared in U.S. showrooms in 1976. Originally a compact three-door hatchback, the Accord quickly evolved to include a sedan model and began production in the U.S. by 1982, becoming the best-selling Japanese car in the country. Today, this stylish and dependable sedan remains a top choice for drivers, and it’s now a finalist for the North American Car of the Year.
One of the standout features of the new Accord is its refined hybrid drivetrain, which introduces advanced one-pedal driving with paddle shifters for energy regeneration. This innovative system, usually seen in electric vehicles, provides the hybrid Accord with enhanced energy efficiency and impressive fuel economy—up to 48 mpg combined in certain trims. The latest model also boasts a sophisticated 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, and premium design elements that underscore its blend of style and technology.
Inside, the 2023 Accord offers an upgraded experience with a focus on comfort and convenience. The top-tier Touring model includes heated and ventilated front seats, a heated rear seat, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, ensuring a luxurious ride. Despite a shift in consumer preference toward SUVs, the Accord’s combination of quality, performance, and value helps it stand out, maintaining its strong position in the market.
