I remember how much criticism used to be around the rear , especially the taillights. I strongly believe the new model will be successful.

The pricing on these cars are crazy. The fact that a CR-V Touring, Accord Touring, and entry Level Pilot are all in the same price range is WILD to me.

[@stanleetfk3823]

Pretty easy. Supply and Demand. Supply is still poor due to chip shortage. Demand is still high despite the high finance rates. This situation will turn around if rates still go up. Being a new model released, I do believe Honda bumped up the price due to the release costs. Billions in R&D and production line retooling. It's definitely a combination of factors for these high prices. However the high interest rates will slow down the sales of new cars, and I can already see brand new Honda cars on dealers lot in Ontario where I live.

[@SIIKAP1]

People need to stop worrying so much about features and realize that driving dynamics and build quality are other important criteria in a car. You can get the Accord, which doesn’t have a 360 cam and pano roof, but has plenty of other great features, a premium build quality and fit and finish, and the best driving dynamics in its class. Or you guys can take the worse-to-drive, cheaper built, worse interior cars with a couple needless features.

Yeah they made this car pretty non quirky. They kept a volume knob (although it is weirdly small) which for me it's a dealer killer when there's no volume knob because I need to quickly be able to adjust volume, they kept a real regular automatic shift lever. I got to test drive the 2023 Accord EX-L and it felt like I'd driven it for a decade and 30 seconds.

If I wanted a hybrid, I would buy one but I've been spoiled by my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T. I cannot express my extreme disappointment that Honda nixed the 2.0T engine. I wish Honda would have dropped the 1.5T engine, offered this hybrid powertrain as the entry engine option and kept the 2.0T for those enthusiasts among us. But no one asked me. I'm sure the masses will flock to it but I'm officially done with Honda unless they bring back a more powerful Accord option. Fortunately, my '21 is excellent and I can enjoy driving it a few more years.

I will say this: As a Honda fan, If Toyota still has their Camry TRD 300hp V6 models, then I’m never going to look back at the pitiful 192hp 1.5T Accord and this 206hp hybrid. I loved the older 278hp 2017 V6 Honda Accord’s and even the 252hp 2018 2.0T Accords that used to win drag races against Ecoboom Mustangs; but if this pitiful 192hp is all they got that’s not a hybrid, then I am no longer on the market for an Accord, and the Accord is dead to me. I understand that not enough people bought these higher hp products, but it’s just sad to see the performance options of V6, V8, and 2.0T disappearing.

Thanks dudes. Great pros, cons and overall summary. I just came from the local Honda dealers. Interestingly, one dealer had zero on the lot and the second dealer had every Accord option in at least one color. Based on your review, along with a couple of other KZbin channel reviewers, I was very much looking forward to seeing the latest Accord in person. Well I walked up to one via a side profile. I immediately thought, it looks as big as a Ford Crown Vic from back in the day. Why is it so big? Then I thought, is it as big as last year? Again, why did they make it so big? At least offer a sport station wagon (estate) if its this big, please. The inside looks great, though. I was overall disappointed. I currently have a KIA K5 EX with the Tech package, a more interesting look. I change cars about every three years so there's me.

Not shopping for a new car by any means, but while this new Accord's hybrid powertrain is genuinely impressive, I can't get very excited over this new Accord. Killing the 2.0T 10-auto is very sad, and the fuel economy here, at least for highway commuting, isn't much better than what's offered with the 1.5T (on the Touring trim). AND they also saved the best features (infotainment and sound system) for the Touring trim which is almost $40k. However, I'm much more excited to see this same new powertrain in the Civic Hybrid. Personally, that seems like the hybrid I would go for. Slightly better audio system, hatchback, better fuel economy, and most importantly, a $30k price tag for the top of the line model.

What city/state is this filmed? Gorgeous views! And 5G??

It isn't a bad car by any means, but I'm glad I got my 2022 Accord 2.0 in December 2022. Had a 2022 Civic before that, unfortunately people drive drunk and it was totaled.

I sell New Hondas in Texas, these are amazing cars. Every one of my customers loves the Honda and long last vehicle. Have a 2000 Accord V6 with 125k miles on it 🎉🎉🎉

I like the styling, the interior updates, and the larger screen with google integration. But the CVT drone during the 0-60 test reminded me of my old Altima which I hated. Sad they had to sulley an otherwise fantastic offering with the CVT. Hyundai proved they could do a great hybrid with a traditional transmission with the Sonata Hybrid. Def a step backwards to me.

[@dakotawoodruff2622]

The hybrid techincally doesn't have a CVT, it doesn't even have a transmission

[@harrytej]

Test drove it .. excellent car and cant agree more .. ❤ the gas savings

[@harisnafis6047]

No

[@JitinMisra]

Does it feel in adequate power?

[@harrytej]

@@JitinMisra yes, the power is not constant but the instant torque upto 40 MPH is super nice

[@carsandgaming1734]

Why does it sometimes simulate shifts under throttle, and other times it doesn't and whines like a CVT like during the 0-60 test? In other reviews, I think they said it was due to brake torque. Were you also doing that?

Nothing beats the naturally aspirated K24 Accord and 6 speed manual model. Even for today standards those cars are made to last.

[@wolfboy202]

Can you make one how it looks at night? The interior lighting

[@mike9588]

New accord and CRV are great, absolutely hilarious to me that the CRV sport touring is 2k more than this and doesn’t have ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, makes you scratch your head…

Gotta be tough heading back to snowy, cold upper mid-west after sampling sunny CA and those twisties. Honda needs a redesign on that bland front, and this car would actually be desirable.

I was kind of bummed I missed the big snow while out in California tbh 😂
