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

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

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good choice!

[@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.

[@fliteline1937]

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes! Agreed!

Hey! Glad we can help!! Appreciate the feedback!

[@jaganchnv4959]

@@VagabondBuildsIn the showroom many are not recommending to go with exl hybrid as mostly that trim will be discontinued. Any thoughts on this?

[@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.

Great car...I love everything about it after purchasing our Touring Hybrid model

[@VagabondBuilds]

Couldn't agree more! Was the video helpf?

[@mszh7111]

Thank you for the excellent review. In your opinion, which color is more beautiful and distinctive and shows the details of the car, white or silver?

[@VagabondBuilds]

I think the silver gets a better pop for the angles honestly. The angles with the white kind of blend in not making them so eye catching. My opinion.

[@robynstojka9052]

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

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad we can help!

[@darenmcgovern4285]

Good jod noting the differences. I am trying to decide exp or touring. I really would like the touring with the exl wheels so i could get the better gas mileage.

Sick video brother 🎉

[@VagabondBuilds]

[@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!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Parking sensors

[@netomilt]

I got the touring for the price of the ex-l because the dealership had it on the lot for 3 months. Can't beat a good deal when I see one, even though it wasn't my first choice.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! What was the first choice?

[@JitinMisra]

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

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Very reachable I believe. Go for it.

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]

[@palo1942]

The touring is more appreciated for long trips hours.

Hmmmm, let’s talk more about these hands that still work 😎

[@bmwkathy]

Thanks for the video ! Recent purchase of hybrid sport L . It will make a difference for anyone who cares for these small missing parts . I personally don’t care for wireless charging station . Bose speaker system is nice but not a deal breaker for me . Hate the fact that it doesn’t have back vents and charging station but again not a deal breaker. Mine hybrid sport L has front and back sensors 🤷‍♀️, also a back diffuser, front lip. Don’t care for the interior mirror because I’m putting dash cam . Other than that car drives nice , however I pressed her on the highway to 96 she started shaking a bit lol . Overall I’ll give The thumbs up to sport L vs touring

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for sharing your experience and your thoughts!

Excellent review

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you kindly

[@karlitop7497]

My father just brought the Sport L and he had the wireless charging pad in his . Guess it was a dealer installed option

No. Good brakes.

[@serdarozen8941]

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.

[@4FJM]

do any of the 24 Accord models have heated steering wheel?

[@SteezinBreezin]

As a dealership option. Not standard in any trim levels.

[@bfullsyou]

Good question. ND warrants heated steering wheels.

[@VagabondBuilds]

See responses below. Thanks guys for the interaction.

[@jgriffin411]

That & no Home-Link mirror, no XM Satellite radio & the vented seats just don't work with a crap. All noted on my recent test drive of the Touring. Almost 40k & they're decontenting stuff hoping you won't notice.

[@templar1694]

Honda accord is still the best budget semi-luxury sedan in the north american market.

[@VagabondBuilds]

[@ayaanharyani4516]

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

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

[@tomhockman6267]

I was able to get a huge discount on a 24 Touring at the same price as a Sport-L. I would only buy the Touring with a big discount. The EX-L is still the best value for the money.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I agree. Spare tire should still be on every car.

[@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.

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.
