2025 Honda Accord SE: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@307billy]

I test drove this exact model today. It was enjoyable to drive, good pickup from the 1.5 t engine, even going up intererstate 70 into the CO mountains. I was pleased they decided to include a spare tire in this model, they should include in the more expensive hybrids but they don't. The seat was pretty comfortable, didn't seem very cushiony on the bottom though. Quiet , attractive interior. I drove grey with light grey interior, looked good. For around the same price you can get a well equipped 2025 Camry LE Hybrid

I purchased the SE in solar silver last week. I like it a lot. It looks much better with tinted dark black windows. I think I’m going to change my emblems to black as well.

[@TD-fq2qd]

The inside is so comfortable and the ride is unbelievable.

[@ohernandez13]

It’s funny you keep talking about not having recalls and my new 2024 EX Gas model just got a recall today for the fuel pump 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ great video nonetheless 😂

[@MrDaveaccord]

The exterior styling is pretty bland in my opinion. The last generation looked better to me. The interior is still top notch however.

[@davispierre-louis8189]

I thought that I was the only one who felt that way about the exterior.

[@aaronjones4465]

I felt the same at first but tbh its starting to grow on me

[@LawrenceUnknown106]

The 12 inch infotainment would be better in this trim than the 7 inch. Just my opinion

[@martywachter1959]

I have a 21' accord....is it worth it to trade ?

[@johnkeithracho3944]

What I like is I appreciate there are already air vents and connectivity on the rear for passengers but I still wish there was a seat pocket behind the driver because you only see one behind the front passenger.

[@TD-fq2qd]

Car is dynamite. Just got my SE in silver. It’s a classy looking car. Silver is the best color with the black trim and rims.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Great review and I am consider buy this car.

[@In-obscurity-n7j]

Nice look at the SE Accord. Personally I don't know why Honda would bother with it. I understand the polyurethane on a base trim. But on this. It is just sad. A half measure. Sort of a F U buy a hybrid looser. Directly from Honda motor Corp themselves.

[@prescottlange]

Lol, exactly.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

It's spelled loser

Brilliant review and I am really like this car.

Remember when they had the Accord V6 ? And they ruin a beautiful car by putting a Honda 1.5 Turbo in it. C’mon Honda . Will never buy one . Another great review Will 👍.

I remember when the V6 engine was available in the Accord, now you can't get a V6. I have a 2013 Accord EX-L with the 3.5 liter V6 engine and 70,000 miles. I won't buy another Accord with it's weak 4 cylinder engines on steroids (turbocharged) to make more power. More proned to problems and more expensive to maintain or fix issues that will occur.

[@ArmyOne519]

@@glh541 Absolutely 👍

[@e.l.4019]

Great review. Nice interior contrast. I feel 18 inch rims with black spoiler lip would look better. Is the engine GDI or MPI? I am torned between the Accord Sport hybrid and the Kia k5 GT line.

[@7728abbott]

Pretty sweet! Affordable! Check. Check.

[@tomhockman6267]

The price is too high for a non-hybrid model. I would try to get a Sport hybrid for just a little more than the SE sells for. The Sport is especially good value now that it has heated seats and rear vents and USB ports

[@truckercowboyed2638]

No it's competitive with the other non hybrid sedans

[@truckercowboyed2638]

You could also buy a fully loaded civic hybrid sport touring

[@idslatt1340]

It seems like they wanted to make a base model sport but they didn’t want to give it the sport name so they could give it the polyurethane steering wheel. I love Honda but why would anyone in their right mind pay 30k for a car with a rubber steering wheel?

[@shantaemcdonald8364]

Exactly😂, my 22 sport SE has leather seats and steering wheel. Unfortunately, no sunroof witch i think is a zonk but I'll take my leather seats over a sunroof i like the luxury feel and look

[@azizkizbayev439]

This part not a lot of people seem to understand!! 30k and having no turn mirro signals, small screen, no phone app, and horrible sound insulation

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Umm you can put a leather wheel wrap duh

[@truckercowboyed2638]

You sound spoiled it's an entry level accord for someone who doesn't care about big screens or mirror signals....you guys don't pay attention when Honda announced the se​@@azizkizbayev439

[@quoaitran1135]

These styling made the lobster claws model look a bit prettier

[@stevenr1354]

Nice review. Good advice about running 91 Octane in that 1.5 Turbo. Read a lot about it blowing head gaskets running cheap fuel. Very disappointed with the urethane steering wheel. Gives the car a taxicab feel. Why, Honda? Civic seems a better choice unless you have very tall passengers.

[@e.l.4019]

The sweet spot is the 2025 Civic Sport Hybrid.... quicker than the Accord.

[@stevenr1354]

@@e.l.4019 Agreed

[@e.l.4019]

The 10th gen was far more engaging. The 11th simply lacks fun and excitement. Honestly the 2025 Kia K5 gt line looks great. However the GDI engine still could be problematic long term...MPI would be better.

[@RuTo94]

I’m confused how come some pictures of the 2025 accord have this aggressive chrome lip that goes above the grille to both headlights? It that model only out of country?

[@chasevisions]

So Honda didn’t do an emergency refresh????? Lol crazy work!!!!!

[@muthoni632]

I was hoping they will remodel their exterior.

[@sherrikwhiteside6107]

This or the 2025 Camry SE, in your opinion? I know it’s comparing this gas model to a hybrid, but I think the Toyota and Honda are the best options to consider in this segment, and obviously, hybrid is the only option for the Toyota. None of these car brands are nearly as good as they used to be.

[@BradleyTallent]

They need more trims for the gas only model. Not just the LX and SE. Also, put sirius xm back in the Hondas.

[@stevenr1354]

Just checked the Honda Canada website. The Accord SE there comes with a heated LEATHER WRAPPED steering wheel. 😡

[@robertMSP19]

Is this the refresh Accord, or will that be next year 2026 ? ? ?

[@e.l.4019]

Nothing's changed really.

[@azizkizbayev439]

Yes this is refresh

2025 Honda Accord SE FWD Dark Sedan!

[@e.l.4019]

Do not expect any major updates for 5 years...could be sooner with this design. I guess the 10th gen design team moved on.

[@Opposegaming]

Parking sensors should be standard on these, car is so long lol

[@DrMacintosh]

I would recommend against singing praise about the 1.5T reliability. Accords with this motor are blowing head gaskets left and right. Could that be from lack of 91 Octane and lack of maintenance? Hopefully, but the 1.5T is a gamble with little evidence that Honda has fixed the problem. New car reliability and build quality, even from Toyota, is down the drain. I find it hard to imagine any new car sold today lasting 20 years. I hope I'm wrong, because I love the way the 11th Gen Accord looks.

[@azizkizbayev439]

91-93 octane and oil change every 4k miles, seems like it fixes oil dilution and blown head gaskets. Its interesting that these engines can go 200+k miles if driven on the highway mostly

[@DrMacintosh]

@@azizkizbayev439 Unfortunately there’s just no way to be certain if those items do fix the head gasket issue. Most people aren’t anywhere near as diligent about their cars as they should be. These things will drop like flies in a few years from the abuse. Buying used and no maintenance/fuel records is going to be a major red flag.

Hard pass. Honda needs to offer this with a manual transmission. Make it an up charge. I’ll happily pay.

I’m not a fan white cars, but on this one, it makes the car even more boring to look at.

You haven't driven Honda HR-V AWD have you? It's slow from 0-60mph as Mrs Butterworths Syrup. But if it's up and running it keeps up easily in highway speeds traffic. So unless you just worried about beating somebody from red-light these vehicles run.
