- We do a first drive in the brand new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid. This short review discusses the good and bad of the next-generation Honda, designed to be quieter and refined with better fuel economy. We detail the engineering changes, business decisions, and technology updates, including Android Automotive, that bring this car closer to electrification.

It took me a moment to realize he's saying hi-bird deliberately.
When I had the first gen Honda insight I was driving it around in Tennessee and this crazy dude crossing the road screamed at me" Is that a new high bird?!?!". The rest of the trip in Tennessee was followed by the same thing everybody calling it a hiBird, so I just continued doing the same.
When in Rome!
Years ago I knew an older guy that referred to anti freeze as Freezone. A combination of the words antifreeze and Prestone I guess.
When in Pennsylvania: "hi-bread"
@@Lousybarber A person I worked with - who was in a higher position than I was - would constantly talk about a 'mute' point, as opposed to a 'moot' one. I didn't say anything to correct her, but I winced every time she said it.
This really is the car that was ever made.
Absolutely one of the cars of all time 🎉
Of all the new Accord reviews I’ve seen, this is one of them.
If you were ever looking for a new car, this is one of them
It I’ll probably make Car and Driver’s list of cars
an absolute car, one could say
I genuinely wasn't ready for the sugar free segment 😂😂😂.
So far this is definitely the most NPC car of the 2020s
I hope people catch the irony that he's saying the car is sugar free😂
What is a npc?
@@JDMSwervo2001 non player character. peopel care called npc if they ac tlike dont have a mind of their own, they are programmed by mind conditionnning. normally used to desscribe people who "support the (usually dumb) currrrent thingg"
@@JDMSwervo2001 it's a gaming term npc (non playable character) so imagine the random civilian in gta, basically saying it has no soul it's bland, predictable, lame
I was alarmed and confused lol
I’m a stay at home astronaut and my wife is a butterfly therapist. This car was made for us 🥰
Basically.
Thank you Honda for making my 10th gen Accord sport 2.0T with six speed manual worth more than ever. 😊
Keep it forever :)
I’d rather buy this.
@@layne4376 💀
ok grandpa.
@@aygwm you're on of the few lol
Takumi playing on the radio while winding through the hills of California cements this as one of the best car review channels in the world.
The 2.0L turbo four option in the 10th gen ended up being a pretty good replacement for the old J-series V6 in 7th-9th gen Accords. They even offered a manual trans with it for 2018-2019, which was really fun! For 20 years there was a good "go faster" option in Accords, and that's now gone. No way my mom would give up her 2015 V6 coupe for this 11th gen and its powertrains, that's for sure.
yeah it's sad that regulations are killing power in these motors. If you want power you need to go to something like a Mustang, or german, or sporty. Ecoboost at 350 lb tq. is a beast on a car thats only 27k. I mean I know V6 were pretty dated as no R&D was going into them, but it's still sad they're going. i.e. Ford got rid of the mustang v6 in 2018.
@@Rob165x cars are unfortunately held to a higher emissions/mpg standard federally than "4WD Off highway capable SUVs". For many manufacturers, that has led to them ditching sedans/hatchbacks, and going after the easier regulations by making everything an AWD crossover or SUV that barely meets the requirements to get the easier classing. I am positive this is why Mazda ditched FWD versions of the CX-30 and CX-5 and made AWD standard. Just to be put in a more lenient regulation category. Automakers would still be putting out great sedans if regulations didn't annoyingly penalize making small cars by holding them to a higher standard.
@@thatoneotherotherguy The plus with the new Mazda's and the AWD is at least you're getting an inline-6
It's truly sad to see where the sedan market is today. You can't hardly find a naturally aspirated engine today that is not a dinky 1.8 or 2.0. The old Accord 2.4 was zippy enough and got great gas mileage for it's class. Guess we still got the Camry until they come for it as well.
@@captinbeyond They never made a 2.5L Accord, but there was a 2.4L. Pretty sure you can still get a 2.4L Camry. And if you're interested in buying garbage, a 2.5L Altima. That being said, Hondas 1.5L turbo scoots the Accord quite aggressively, much better than the older 2.4L, while pulling better fuel economy.
You two are the undisputed best car reviewers on TH-cam (IMO)! Straight to the point, all important technical details, Honest driving impressions with humor that doesn't feel forced, and the biggest one it's never an ad. It is as unbiased as humanly possible and I applaud you two for sticking to that. keep up the great work guys!
And no tired corny commentary about being able to fit 10 twinkies in the center console.
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall lol! That damn Twinkie guy… love this comment!!!
Or pointing his index finger all over the interior droning on about soft touch and felt lined.
yeah all important technical details part of which they got wrong.
the 1.5 has a CVT. The hybrid has hondas e:HEV system and no transmission whatsoever. it has an electric motor attached to the engine for producing electricity and a second electric motor that's attached to the wheels which is driving them.
the engine is only mechanically connected to the wheels when cruising on the highway. and even then it's just cconnecting the output shaft of the engine directly to the diff via a single clutch and no transmission.
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall This guy is literally eating an ice cream in a brand new car. If I were a car dealer I'd give this guy the boot and never lend him another car to review again.
mark driving the accord at the limit is freaking hilarious. We all can see you guys acting like hooligans, but it just impressive to see you guys always being so comfortable making the eco tires squeal in the turns without being dangerous, and that's for any car you guys are in
We know we reasonably shouldn't try this with just any car though
The accord hybrid has MMS for corner tracebility, as discussed in the video at 13:02
Do it an fk8 with lsd/dual axis strut suspension , do it in an m3, porsche, but probably not a base model accord or axio
It's not exactly difficult to make those garbage low rolling resistance tires squeal. My 15 Fusion Hybrid had them when I first bought it and I could spin the tires driving straight on dry pavement while going 25-30mph. After I put UHP tires on the Fusion it felt like I had a whole different car. Before I couldn't go 20 and take a turn, but now I can make that pig wollow around a turn going 35. I can whip that hog around the twisties at an impressively dangerous speed before my tires begin to squeal too, and if they do start to squeal it's a good indicator that snap oversteer is about to nullify my DNR.
It's amazing how different a car can feel with a decent set of tires.
All youtubers released their Accord video at ones. But there’s only one SavageGeese!
Honestly sounds like the perfect daily driver. Unassuming, doesn’t draw any attention, quiet and extremely smooth. If I could have two cars for under 50 grand each, I’d take a Mustang GT and an Accord Hybrid.
So glad I got the 2017 V6 sedan in September 2017, right before the V6 was ditched. Over 220,000 miles going strong
Watching you guys rip the Accord around the mountains and just crack up with each other is so great 😂😂
The ice cream wasn't the intro we deserved, but man I love it.
Simply magnificent.
What kind of lunatic eats ice cream with a fork!? Who allowed this!
This is the only channel that I'm willing to watch non-sport car reviews and it's because of the comedy. I love you guys.
"That's great, if you've been on a downhill...like my life" 🤣🤣 love it Mark!
"If you've been on a downhill like my life", I lost it at this lmao
😂
The styling on the last generation was so refreshing, it was an Accord I WANTED to own. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN 2023???
the 9th gen really looks the best though
Welcome to the NPC age!
I know what happened...
IT'S YOUR COMMENT!
This is the best looking accord in decades. Why does everyone want overstyling on their car instead of something understated?
I actually want this design over the previous gen but the previous gen is nice
I never realized your videos are HDR until i got my LG OLED tv just last week. Amazing work guys!
Savagegeese is so insanely good, I love and enjoy watching reviews of ‘normal’ cars. It just makes the performance car reviews that much more special. Even rewatching videos is great; picking up new information in the shoppe! The balance of an intellectual review yet goofy (in all the right ways) is just amazing. Not to mention the cinema-grade edited and videography. Thank you for everything Savagegeese Team ❤️ 👍🏽
Insane D riding
Have re-watched the T-level GT500-video like 8 times.
The Honda Accord has assimilated the Taurus and Malibu, like it's a borg collective.
- I'd say 'lobotomized' as much as assimilated.. Exterior styling just says 'generic automotive shape'. Beyond boring. As Mark said, from a distance its hard saying who the manf is.
For years GM would make the Malibu a copy of the Accord or Camry, but now it's reversed. The Accord does look like the Malibu.
At this point I would just get a V6 Camry while you still can. Never thought I'd say that lol. The car at this point is an underpowered sleeping pill on wheels.
LMAO
The new 11th Gen Accord. z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-snooze fest!
agreed. the trd v6 is legit.
Or 9th Gen V6 accord
I would get the Camry V6, IS350, or ES350 while they are still out there. The future is looking pretty slow and boring with those awful range battery vehicles and underpowered tiny turbos.
Was waiting for this review to come out so I streamed it on my TV. Put it simply, I was far from disappointed seeing Mark’s “spirited” (unlike the new Accord) reaction to sugar-free. on the big screen. Made not just my day but my week. Thank you fellas.
The HDR really makes the video stand out and looks beautiful.
I’m loving the HDR content. I hope more creators start to utilize this capability. Great video as always guys
Forget that. I want HLG
So bright 👁️👁️
It’s so freaking bright
@@BugOnAChip yeah it seems like they increased the brightness compared to their previous HDR content. I like it since I am watching it on OLED which is not the brightest.
It’s blinding
When you ask AI to draw you a Honda Taurus
Gonna start calling these the Honda Malibu or the Honda Taurus 😂
@@stkhlear2566I’m getting Passat from the side and the rear. The CRV looks like a Tiguan too, I wonder if they poached VWs design team
Do you think Robocop would drive one of these?
@@davewilson7602 The side profile of this looks very current-generation Chevy Malibu to me, particularly the rear roofline where it originally copied the 2013+ Ford Fusion, so the styling has been whored out quite a bit lol. I do see some slight VW Passat though. Ultimately a very me-too design..
Love the cameo of you two on Throttle House’s review of the new accord!
"He wanted to make a more luxurious car" Translation: They want to charge more. Look how the seats went to a single piece plastic insert for the back rest to lower costs. But the marketing describes this as additional and improved support. This version is all about cost cutting.
This car will sell very poorly.
The sugar free, spit-flying rage bit genuinely had my laughing out loud.
As a 10th generation owner (2.0T Sport w/ 6MT) I am soooo glad they went this way with the next accord, made it classier and more refined and less fun. Now I don't have to worry about wanting it, and they'll probably make this gen for another 5 years so I will be able to save money for quite a while!
When you are done with yours, give it to me.
I felt the same sigh of relief when this was announced, especially with them axing the 2.0T. Now I can rest easy owning my '22 2.0T for years to come.
plus they made your car worth more ;)
Enthusiast will be shopping for another brand in future. Honda is going all electric in next gen. Civics too. This is also last gen for Type R.
Your videos of standard automobiles are actually enjoyable to watch due to the ridiculous humor and well edited and artistically shot video. Thanks for this quality content!
I love the blend of professionalism and personality in your videos. The ice cream bit had me dead 🤣 Even the title is gold. So long as the joy's there never stop guys.
You guys made a boring car seem fun with all those little funny bits 😂
Again. God bless you for the HDR video. Nobody understands how good HDR is until I show them. They just say, “oh by it’s 4K already.” Yeah it’s 4K but HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE.
Mark be killing me THIS IS SUGAR FREEEEEEE! 🤬 and and yhe screaming at the the end tf 😂
I love this channel so much. Had to clip the sugar free part. Never change.
Your reviews are the best. I like how you put more effort actually driving the car and commenting how it drives
Damn. So much for the new Accord as a platform to tune on. The last gen had the k20C and could swap the Civic Type R turbo and make a fast daily.
It's already a fast daily. Shit, 0-60 in the mid 5s is quick for a family sedan.
Wait. You can do that? I have a 2019 2.0T. I’ll look into that.
@@nortenero Im pushing like 350 to the wheels on my 2.0.
@@nortenero look up the phearable stage 3 tune
@@singular9 That sounds absolutely awful. Congrats.
In my opinion, by ditching the 2.0t engine and a "real" automatic transmission Honda has dropped the ball big time.
I test drove a 2.0t Sport and it was an absolute gem of power train
I think they are trying to push people to buy the Acura TLX with the 2.0T and 10 speed auto
It is being done on purpose. Totally planned due to fed pressure and the cheaping out of vehicles but paying a price. Honda has to pay for their retirees somehow.
@@ericscottstevens Eric, not everything is because of a government conspiracy. Do you think the profit motive and the short-term focus of stock market investors were recent inventions?
CVT = NOT BUYING, PERIOD.
@@BadPhD777 It is becoming criminal why CVTs are all being pushed now by many manufacturers. I would rather drive my current Toyota with 271,000 miles than spending on a new car with that crap transmission.
Is it possible that the best part of this review is not even in this review? Nice SG cameo on the Throttle House review!
You should have Jack carry you around all the time.
Possibly the best car review of the accord I’ve seen. Good job.
Guess I will keep looking for that brand new, bubble-wrapped 2017 Accord Sport V6. Should be a few available that missed the local Mecum auction.
You can still relatively easily find 2016-2017 Accord V6s in good condition. Some coupes, some coupe manuals even. The end of an era. Would be a great car to stubbornly stick with for the next 10-15 years.
Man, you, guys, rock! This is so balanced in irony, if I was a girl, I would say "I can't even".
Love watching you guys. I’m not remotely interested in this car but I like watching your reviews!
Man, one of the best reviews you guys have made! It was even laughing along, but all honesty. I might purchase touring version of this car. Very refined and reliable for the pricing.
got mine and ive been loving it. its not as fast as my old accord, but it still has all the power i need exactly when i need it thanks to that VTEC, gets great mileage, amazingly comfortable interior and best ride quality of any sedan in its price range. one of the most luxurious feeling cars you can get for under $50,000
These guys explain detail in an entertaining way, defs top 3 reviewers 🔥
I’ve owned 2 accords and a civic. This thing has morphed into something I want nothing to do with from an appearance and mechanical standpoint. We’ve gone full Toyota. Larger displacement, normally aspirated engine, normal automatic transmissions, still decent at the LE base model.
Crazy to think that the base models are powered only by a 1.5L Turbo
Right not mentions honda's were always one of the fastest, my vw Taos with 40hp less on the interstate a while ago left one setting, stayed with me til 85 that was it 2 car lengths behind. Sad
Uhh news flash Toyota is going to smaller displacement turbos too. I’m pretty sure the next gen Camry is gonna lose the v6 and get a turbo 4
@@Argedis And a super sketchy one at that. Fuel/oil dilution issues still undergoing class action lawsuits in other countries. I don't believe Honda fixed this.
Because the turbo engines haven’t been super reliable. Lots of fuel injection and misfiring issues.
Great video & HDR mastering guys!! Thanks
Dang, your choice of music is straight flames😮💨🔥 Love it
Love this channel for its honesty.
I loved the ice cream segment lol, fucking hilarious dude
Keeping reviews fresh
you guys are getting better at this fantastic review!
Mark and I are a**holes...going downhill like my life. Very well written! And it looks like an Audi A7. You 2 should get an NPR show...like the old Miatzi brothers. Great job!
I would have never expected a same year Prius to look better than an accord that’s genuinely sad
The Prius is beautiful. But getting in and out of it’s a royal pain. That A pillar! This Accord is very comfortable and has leg room for miles
6:10 - 11:59 "Driving Just Like Grandpa Did" might be one of the most entertaining driving impressions I can recall on this channel. 🤣
What killed me was "Takumi - Extended Mix" @ 6:35
Whenever Mark has a swearing freakout, I swear it's the best shit I have ever seen on TH-cam. That moment is akin to Daniel Day Lewis taking an acting gig... Meaning, it can't be overused and have the effect that it does, 2x a year of Mark freaking out in a video and censoring himself is one of the few joys I still have in my life.
Hahahaha, love the randomness in the intro! And even more so at the beginning of the interior segment - WHOOOOOOOO!!!
Hilarious giggling happening - similar to the VW GTI review you guys did on the track. Funny Stuff. That road looks like Palomar Mountain in Southern California. Spent many many many time cycling up that mountain. Enjoyed the review guys.
definitely Palomar…I grew up driving those back roads.
It’s so sad to see this car losing everything great it once had 😅
Honda: We cut 50% of our workforce and increase prices because MONEY matters more.
@@singular9 it’s getting harder for everyone to ignore
@@singular9 Where did you read they cut their workforce by 50%?
@@ryanlittleton5615 What, you want facts and accuracy? How can someone have an anti-Honda rant if they're going to be constrained by reality?
The 11th Gen is when the Accord died!
Lmao when you guys released the first screenshot from this video on IG a few days ago, it was a far-away shot of the Accord. My first thought was literally "wow it kind of looks like a Ford Taurus police car from that angle". Glad Mark thinks so too 😂
Out of all of the automotive TH-cam channels that I follow, top gear, throttle house and a host of smaller channels, This is the only channel where I tune in to watch videos about cars I don't care about and will never buy just because they're always still fun to watch. Hats off, gentlemen!
Downhill like my life… facts. 😂 great line, made me chuckle!
This HDR quality hitting hard.
Your videos are great, keep doing the work bro's!!!!
Thank you for this great and through review of the Hondai Passatonata
Thank you Honda, your decisions have driven up the values of both of my V6 coupes!
Highly doubt it. New car buyers don’t want a 6+ year old car anyway. And hybrid buyers definitely don’t want it. But keep assuming!
I’ll miss the hips/fender flairs on the 10th gen. I had a ‘19 accord with a 6mt and although not fast, it felt like Honda engineers did bake in elements of sporty dynamics, including amazing handling and feel.
Holy crap. Haven't watch this channel for a while. I am liking the HDR content.
Loved the touge driving! 😛
Looking forward to more cameos in Throttle House. 😉
Great show, guys. I guess I'm stuck with old cars. No CVT's for me.
Thanks for the quality content. I'm a Honda enthusiast and have watched your Passport review probably more than 10x. When will you guys review the 2023 Pilot?
It’s up.
Great review and summary!
That opening was so random - I loved it.
I bought a 2020 civic sport for my daughter last year and that car is amazing. I looked at accords but they were just out of reach price wise with the 10k market adjustments added on.
I just traded my 2011 Civic for a 2022 Civic. I got the sport touring hatchback. The Type R, MSRP, is about 14-15k over what I wanted to spend. If I pay this one off, and can find an MSRP 2023+ Type R or used one, I may trade up again. Depends on the numbers.
Anyway, I hope that Civic treats your daughter well! My 2011 was my first car and it was a great car.
Edit: I think the previous generation Accord looked phenomenal. Sucks you had to look elsewhere because of the markups.
@@Magnosummit The Si models are nice too. Obviously you don't get an increase in power but it feels sportier and stylish plus it's a manual. I considered one...though I have a '22 BRZ now instead of the ecoboost pony I wanted.
@@Rob165x the GR86 has been in my radar too. Given my interest in these cars, I really would like to learn how to drive stick soon. Lol
I just checked out the current gen Si and I really like that orange paint for it. Despite being a trim below what I have, I think the Si interior looks better. I'm not the biggest fan of leather seats either, though (what I have).
I got a 22 sport. it's a 2.0 with a 6 speed, I kind of had to put the "sport" in myself with a rv6 cat, swapping the res and muffler, prl intake, ktuner, 93 octane. and it probably makes as much power as a k20 civic SI for all that lol. but it's a much nicer car than an 8th gen
It's a huge step back in the looks department. Honda some how made this Accord look like a base model car.
Loved your guys' cameo for throttle house!
I just saw you guys on throttle house!! Had to check your video out too 😂
That was a hoot.
I'm currently daily driving a 10th gen manual. As a middle age dad with a long commute, it checks so many boxes for me. Sad to see that offering is officially dead.
"It will return good fuel economy... in our drive, Mark and I are assholes and did not return good fuel economy." Best line I've heard in a while.
Good to see you, Mark! We miss you and your vibe in the videos. Please keep Savagegeese going, it's a unique and great channel
Love the videos and the humor and knowledge of you both. Saw in the video where you referenced it riding like a Lexus ES300H so I did some dimensional comparisons only, and what do you know, they are almost exactly the same size interior and exterior? So I wonder if like you said Honda is going more for a cruiser these days versus their sportier past?
I've always liked the Accord.
Owned one for 2 years and other than it needing a new clutch it was rock solid. Gave it to a lady friend in need and she used it for almost 4 more years.
I wonder if Honda will end all sedans after this current run of cars?
This is probably one of, if not the biggest swing and miss that Honda has made.
Absolutely! The final year-end sales figures should bear this out!
@@mikebingham9700 yeah I’m glad I’m out, I sold Honda for 6 years and this would’ve been the last straw for me.
The new J35, the unsellable TLX, the Integra, the Civic price increase, the move of the entire SUV range up one price rung, the quality issues of the past few years, the deal to rebadge GM electric SUVs, this Accord.
The last-gen Accord was one of the few bright spots for Honda post-2016. I guess boring, focus grouped, increasingly cost-cut yet expensive cars sell. Honda's overall sales numbers are not suffering, despite all of this.
Babe Ruth striking out.
Honda Ridgeline
I love Mark being all bad-ass. The new Honda Accord is just like the sugarfree ice cream. It's not meant to offend anyone. It's looks just good enough to eat, the taste, well you get what you pay for. They will lots of these cause it's still a Honda. And they have a built in base that will derive a Honda no matter what. Thanks for another nice review.
Spot on review, and you guys are hilarious
I definitely haven’t been a big fan of the outgoing generation’s interior or exterior but Honda certainly knocked that incoming gen out of the park with all its aesthetics. The only reason I wouldn’t personally purchase one would be because of the seemingly underwhelming powertrains, but otherwise, it looks to be a great and much needed product offering in their evolving lineup.
Thank god there’s the Civic Si and Type R for enthusiasts to still drive.
Last cycle for those though. They are going electric next gen.
Guys great job as usual, I was wondering if you can ask the Honda engineers next time, why don't they offer a all wheel drive Accord. The Toyota Camry offers all wheel drive. I have read in the past it is because Honda wants best fuel economy, but I really would like to see them come out with all wheel drive. I know years ago they had the Accord Crosstour wagon that offered all wheel drive, but never on the accord sedan. Keep up the great work.
K guys not saying you're entirely incorrect about the Accord never being "sporty," BUT I had a '93 Accord 2-door with a 5-speed that was an absolute blast to drive. The former owner was a Honda mechanic who rebuilt and bored out the F22 engine to 2.6L and put a short ram intake on it. I added a tube header, full 2.5 inch exhaust and a stage 1 racing clutch...I surprised more than a few mustangs off the line lol and doggin' it on curvy mountain roads was even more fun. Had over 300k miles on it when it finally kicked the bucket. God I miss that car.
Honestly as much as I am a big Honda fan, they really dropped the ball on this one
A huge step backwards from what the 10th gen was and to add insult to injury they had to drop the 2.0T and 10-speed auto
Don't tell me that it was because of EPA regulations there was no way it was because of emissions and what not
Well, it's probably because the bulk of the sales were for the 1.5t. So, why offer the 2.0t if most of the customers won't buy it?
@@Aki_Lesbrinco except that it did sell well right? I still see a handful of Accord 2.0Ts on a day to day basis that's like saying yeah the Camry V6 doesn't sell more than the 4 cylinder model so let's just cut off the V6 right? You still see a good bit of Camry V6s from time to time depending on the place
@@basithph8958 You might see a handful of them on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean they sell enough of them. I've always seen many gr86 around, but the actual number of them being sold is quite low. If they were really selling a lot of them, Honda wouldn't have removed the 2.0T from the new Accord. It sucks, but that's the reality of the situation.
@@Aki_Lesbrinco See now you're saying you see a handful of GR86s around I have seen a couple from time to time as well as new BRZs maybe that depends on where you live but you can't compare the sales of a 2+2 sports car to a mid size sedan that's like comparing apples to oranges
Yeah sure the GR86 and BRZ doesn't sell a lot nor is it known to sell a lot but the Accord is one of the best selling sedans and has been for decades so they're vastly different so you can't just say just because the 2.0T didn't sell as much as the 1.5T is like how the GR86 and BRZ sells on the market that's not even comparable at all
The point I was trying to make was for something that is like in the mid 30s to low 40s, the Accord 2.0T sold well for what it is and at least it justified the value
Now with the new Accord that's only CVT and 1.5T available with the older 2.0 hybrid engine just doesn't make this any more appealing than the last gen and as it is something that goes up to 40k it doesn't justify its value either so this is why I don't understand why they took out the 2.0T and 10-speed and how it is going to do well in the first place
It looks pretty bleak for the Accord yes it'll definitely sell but not as much as the 10th gen
@@basithph8958 I know they're completely different class of cars. My point is that just because you see "many" of them in your area, doesn't mean that they sold what Honda needed to justify keeping the 2.0t trim. If they were selling in a significant number VS the 1.5t trims they would've kept it. It sucks, but lets be objective, Honda saw the trim as a dead end sales wise and they eliminated it . At the end of the day Honda could not justify the expense and removed the least selling drivetrain option. While the Accord is one of the best selling sedans the majority of the sales kept getting skewed in favor of the lower powered drivetrain models and overall sales have been on a steep decline as has been happening to all sedans. Unfortunately, we are close to only having a bunch of CUVs and no sedans or coupes to choose from. Man, I miss the 90's and early 2000s, we used to have a lot more choices, other than CUVs and SUVs.
Bruh this is an NPC car from GTAV lmao
Excellent review as always
I am so completely here for all of this. This is legendary. Makes me proud to wear my goose SG shirt. I get compliments it distracts from me. Great combo
What nobody has mentioned is that this is the first time a Honda Accord Hybrid is GDI. There was nothing wrong with the port injected Honda hybrids, they are 100% reliable. Almost guaranteed we will be replacing these GDI injectors, along with having to wonder if there will be oil dilution issues and all the problems that come with it. Weigh the pros and cons, Why GDI?
I have a 2018 Accord Hybrid with 250k miles so far. Because of GDI I'm not considering another Honda. Not spending thousands every year or two to walnut blast the carbon deposits off the valves. They should've went with dual injection like late Ford and Toyota.
@@FirstHandLLC bingo! Your cars engine is fantastic, great economy, power, reliability. I was hoping the new crv hybrid had the exact same engine, now I look at the parts catalog and CRV and Accord hybrids both GDI fails. Design needs to consult with their own dealer service network to know what works and what fails. Toyota D4s works but adds parts to the mix, I’m okay with just basic port injection as is everyone that’s ever had a GDI related issue.
The slides for the engines listed "DI + multistage injection" as a new mechanical feature for this model. Does "multistage" imply port and direct injection? That would address a lot of the issues with GDI.
@@jonathankleinow2073 the multi stage is still just direct injection. The fuel goes in after the valves. I looked at the parts catalog as soon as they gave me access, I could not find another set of port injectors.
@@GIZZMOTORSPORTS Well, that's unfortunate.
Great review as always. I personally think the exterior looks excellent on this. However Honda's decision to drop the 2.0 Turbo with either transmission option is a huge downer. Ugh, no thanks.
This is the best looking accord ever
That intro is gold
i always thought the accord could be really cool if they had a sporty AWD version with a manual. same with the civic honestly, but honda seems to want to reserve AWD for acura.
All I want to know as a consumer is if they've fixed the long term reliability. These new Turbo Honda engines were littered with issues when first introduced. Can they hold up like a K24 does or the J series? That's what was great about Honda we all knew the engines were rock solid. Also have they fixed the AC compressors? Honda has been notorious for shite AC compressors and it would be cool to see longevity out of them. I guess all we care about these days is NVH LOL.
You can't FIX long term reliability. You don't know if there's long term reliability until AFTER a long term.
Hahah 😂the ice cream bit in the beginning had me cracking up. Funny looking Accord, funny video 😂😂😂😂
Great review. I'm one of those bored middle aged guys that bought a 4-door, 4 cylinder accord instead of something fun or interesting in any way. It's been a solid utterly dependable car for the last 150,000 miles. My next car will probably be a SUV for the reasons you mentioned (RAV4 Prime?).
