2023 Honda Accord Latest News
This is Generation 11 of the Honda Accord midsize sedan, making its debut for the 2023 model year. The main story in this continuing saga of midsize sedan class dominance is that the hybrid variant isn’t some afterthought or some effort to comply with low-emissions rules. By putting hybrid power in the top trims, Honda brings this technology to the forefront.
The reason the Accord has been so successful over the years, even against the SUV onslaught, is that it does things right in all the areas that really matter — reliability, safety, value for money, build quality, space, equipment, comfort, and refinement.
Some rivals come close, but invariably the Accord tends to have the edge. That’s why it’s been a multiple winner of KBB awards. Now it adds updated technology and great fuel economy to outclass the competition even more emphatically.

2023 Honda Accord Pricing
The 2023 Honda Accord starts at $27,295. That’s for the LX, which still has a decent lineup of standard equipment for the money.
Just the lowest two trims have a combustion-only drivetrain. The rest employ gasoline/electric hybrid power. The 2023 Accord range tops out at $37,340 for the Touring trim. There aren’t many options beyond that, the priciest being $455 for premium paint and $2,000 for fancier alloy wheels.
For comparison, the Toyota Camry starts at $26.2K, the Hyundai Sonata at $25.2K, and the Kia K5 at $25.3K. All three rivals offers a hybrid variant. The Camry and K5 can also come with all-wheel drive. The Nissan Altima has all-wheel drive on its options list, but no hybrid — it starts at $25.3K. The Subaru Legacy also steers clear of hybrid power, but comes with all-wheel drive as standard, priced from $24.4K.

Class-Leading Resale Values
Despite slightly higher pricing compared with the competition, this could turn out to be money well spent, since the Accord has a history of retaining its value better than its rivals. The advantages of stronger resale values include a bigger down payment for your next car and low ownership costs overall. We fully expect this latest generation to carry on where the outgoing model left off.
What’s New for 2023
Most of the 2023 Accord is new this year, marking the debut of the 11th generation. This includes fresh styling and updated technology. Even though there isn’t an actual 2023 Accord Hybrid model, the top four Accord trims all have hybrid drivetrains as standard. Honda expects to earn top safety scores with the new Accord.
Driving The 2023 Honda Accord
With a 192-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood, the 2023 Honda Accord delivers plenty of merging and passing ability. But the Accord’s secret sauce lies in the responsiveness and refinement with which it supplies that acceleration. The same goes for how it responds to steering and braking inputs. As it has for a long time, the Accord delivers the most seamless, most satisfying driving experience in the segment. (And the Accord Hybrid is somehow even more gratifying.)
