Differences in 2024 Honda Accord HYBRID: SPORT-L vs Touring

[@elvisgutierrez13]

The rims did it for me and I bought the Sport L with the Urban Gray Pearl color, with the windows tinted the color really pops 👌🏼

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Glad you like your buy.

[@kikomanster8188]

One difference in the rear turn signal lights is the Touring has a fuller lights that goes longer into the middle part past the trunk while the Sport L’s light only at the main corner lights

[@VagabondBuilds]

Sorry we missed that!!!

[@MikedaLuffy90]

Great review of two awesome trims of the Accord Hybrid. Personally think the EX-L and Touring trims are the best 2 trims to choose from. I opted for the 2024 Accord Hybrid Touring.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good choice. That would be my pick.

[@Kamal_AL-Hinai]

Good choice

[@diegogrinberg6401]

Great review, I was specifically looking for a video comparing both models and this was exactly what I needed! Thank you

[@DeenaFreed]

I just got the Accord Hybrid Touring and I absolutely love driving surrounded in luxury!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good choice!

[@debbied8525]

Very helpful seeing the comparisons in real cars. I think the Touring is worth the added $5K for the sensors, sound system, ventilated seats, self-dimming rearview mirror, and rain sensor windshield wipers.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad we can be of great help honestly!

[@SteezinBreezin]

Rain sensing wipers has been standard on lower trim. My 2018 lx has it. This isn’t a “feature” you should pay for.

[@fliteline1937]

I bought the Touring and the features are worth it!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes! Agreed!

[@rbbach1945]

Excellent comparison and explanation. Tks. For me,personally,the Sport-L at 5k less would be the better choice.I'm awaiting arrival of Civic hybrid this summer. Love my '15 Mazda3 Sport but ready to go hybrid.Tks again for comparison.Rick/Seattle

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good luck on the civic Hybrid… that just sounds great with civic and hybrid in the same sentence haha

[@palo1942]

Will they finally bring the civic hybrid to the states?? Thats awesome.

Touring is worth it just to have the rear vents! Great review. Very helpful

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad we can help!

[@glamslamcam]

I brought the 2024 Honda Accord Touring & it’s worth every penny. It’s worth paying the extra $5K to have the extra bells & whistles in it. I had the 10th Gen Sport & it was great but this is so much better. It’s smoother & takes bumps so much better than my last Accord and the Bose Sound System is great. It’s a great car that i easily recommend to anyone in the market for a Sedan.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I couldn’t agree more for the bells and whistles. I’m glad you like your purchase!

We just got our first 2024 Accord EX last weekend sticker price at 31K but got it for only 28K didn’t even negotiate the sell person just asked us how much we wanted to pay monthly that all and the deal are done 😀

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Someone got lucky unless they just wanted to sell it.

[@proudgrandmaiowa]

Personally, I just purchased a Sport L. I didn’t feel the need to spend another $4-5,000 for some gadgets when I have some hands that still work!!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha haha nice way to look at it!

[@palo1942]

The touring is more appreciated for long trips hours.

[@proudgrandmaiowa]

@@palo1942 I’m sure but I don’t drive long trips so enjoy yours!!

[@ayaanharyani4516]

One difference also is that the sport L has aluminum gas and brake pedals where as the touring has regular pedals.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you for the add on. Sorry for the miss! Was the video helpful overall?

[@JitinMisra]

That white touring is my "realistic" dream car. IT looks gorgeous.

Thank you kindly

[@user-nu8tr5dv5t]

‏Thanks for the great review, in your opinion what is the best color on the Honda Accord?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you for the compliment. I would go either silver or white. Silver because of the lowest maintenance color, whit because it’s still fairly low maintenance but also a bit more rich looking. They also look the best on these bodies.

[@user-nu8tr5dv5t]

Are the brakes spongy, indicative in other hybrid brands, like the new Camry ?

No. Good brakes.

Is it possible to add Google-maps/Navigation to the EX-L trim? 17" wheels are much more practical, lighter, less prone to bends/tire damage than the 19"s that the Touring comes with.17" wheels and tires => may lead to better accel./fuel econ, less road noise, more comfortable/less bumpy ride, etc...

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe so. Thanks for the perspective, was the video helpful at all?

[@serdarozen8941]

@@VagabondBuilds yes, very good, thank you; to the point, pointing out every difference. ex-L vs sport-l vs touring maybe also more comprehensive overview, and for example what kind of options/features that is on Touring trim can be added to ex-L or the Sport trims will be very helpful add-on review. ~$5K difference is significant, so people may go for ex-l or the sport but personally I'd go for ex-l and try to add few things that is standard on the touring trim. (Such as google maps/nav feature? higher end audio? ) Great to know what features can be added to ex-l / sport... 19" wheel+set is a bad idea. I know lots of people losing tires/wheels and downsizing to 18s or 17s by buying aftermarket wheels.

[@Vegitobluuuuu]

Have you seen the accord RS in Australia 🇦🇺 omg interior is way nice and comes with panoramic sunroof Why isn’t US like Australia

[@VagabondBuilds]

Did not see that one. But have no idea why. Thanks for watching.

[@julianalterman7193]

Don't understand why the Sport-L doesnt have parking sensors when the EX-L does. thats 1 reason I chose the EX-L

Oh! Well different trims, but I say to you good choice!

[@mmthueson]

Only thing I hate about my 24 accord touring is no black headliner 🤦‍♂️

Be advised this car does not come with a Spare Tire or jack. Just an Air pump. The latest news is that Honda parts department now has a Spare Tire kit for about $500 + Tax.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes! Thanks for the heads up! Glad people know and are aware.

[@MaL_KL]

This is true, but new Hondas come with free roadside assistance for the duration of the Honda warranty. So use that pump to get to your destination, then call roadside for a replacement tire.

[@9546aw]

@@MaL_KL I am hyper aware of what the pumps can and cannot do. If you get a cut or puncture in the sidewall the air will leak out as fast as you try to pump it in. If this happens in an inconvenient place or at an odd time, your aren't going anywhere. I had a 2009 CTS that had no spare but had a can of shaving cream. I was entering the driveway of a small shopping center and managed to run over a small piece of metal sticking up from the ramp. It punched a hole in the side of the tire and the shaving cream just squirted out. I called for road service at 8:30 in the morning and no rescue truck showed up until 4PM. The truck lifted up the front of the car and towed me to a tire store. The new tire cost $350. When I drove away from the tire store I found out the transmission had been damaged by the tow truck. It cost me $3,000 to fix the transmission. If I had a spare this all could have been avoided. And NO, the pump will not get you to your destination.

[@justtrashmedia]

The one thing that bothers me about the interior of the touring is the roof not coming in black. Having the beige is throwing me off and making me want to just go for the sport. It’s ruining the interior tbh.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Sorry to hear that. But I totally see that being annoying. Some actually like that.

Lights go into trunk lid on Touring 6:40 We get crap cloth seats just like the EX in the Sport in Canada, you get leather 9:18 So, Leather and Bose, not to mention all the other goodies here in Ontario, Canada for an extra $1,538.50 is a no brainer The MSRP for the Touring is $46,916.50, but Dealers are selling the Touring for $45,000. and Sport for the MSRP of $43,461.50 They might as well discontinue the Sport as why would anyone buy one?
