I had 2 Accords. This restyling totally turned me off and I thought the 1.5T and Hybrid both were slugs. I bought a new Ridgeline with the classic J35 V6 and I don't regret it!
Funny as last gen was considered by many as polarizing in some aspects compared to the 9th gen. Which was the reason why they toned it down in this generation. First they called it bland but then slowly and slowly some started calling the current gen ugly. The 9th gen to me would be the best looking one as it won awards for its design.😂
I was on the Camry bandwagon for a while. Everything about it just seemed better, but maybe it was just the novelty. Now that the dust has kind of settled, I’ll have to admit I like the look of the Accord better than the Camry.
I have 2000 miles on my 2024 Accord Hybrid and I'm averaging 40.5 miles per gallon in Economy mode and with generative braking on. The only way I can imagine getting 45 is with a lot of non highway driving and driving 65 on the highway. If you drive 70 or more on the highway, the gas engine is doing the work and the gas milage goes down quickly.
I average about 48 or 49 mpg over the last 20k miles or so on my 2023 Touring. About 50/50 city/highway. Just let the car do 90% of the driving for you by turning on the lane keep assist and smart cruise control for highway trips.
Secure your rims and tires! I got this car (2024) and all four rims and tires were stolen and I live in a neighborhood where nothing bad has happened in 17 years I’ve lived here.
I love the Accords styling over Camry, Altima, K5 and Sonata. It has a sophisticated styling that stand’s out. The rest are attempting to be sporty like everything else on the road.
The rest are attempting to be "different" with ugly outcomes. Though, Honda quality too set very high standard.. Adding Accords carry her heritage character one generation to another.
For all the people saying the Camry is better, Honda doesn't nickel and dime you for every little thing, including a subscription for remote start. That alone makes me choose the Accord over the Camry. With the Accord, you pick the trim you want and what you get with that trim is what you get. There's no "If you get this trim, you have to add this $3,000 package to get this feature." This is true even on the top trim for the Camry, which is egregious. That's not even mentioning how Toyota is artificially limiting their vehicle output so they can sell them with zero incentives and no negotiation. Dealers are using the limited stock, which SHOULD NOT be a problem 4 years after COVID, as an excuse to mark up Toyota cars. I'll stick with Honda.
Honda needs to update their dashboards. Every model has that awful stuck on infotainment screen. The infotainment screen should be integrated into the dash.
Disagree. The infotainment screen sticking up into the field of view works really well from the driver’s POV because you can see it out of the corner of your eye. It almost acts a bit like a HUD.
This Accord is a fleet of taxis in a third-world country...lol....I own the 2022 Accord 2.0T....and it makes this New Accord looks and performs shameful.
Yeah the ride could have been a bit more smoother. ''Bad'' marketing choice, trying to give the car a ''sporty/youthfull'' feel while comprimising comfort. But it'll still sell well because of other +'s.
2024 Hybrid Touring owner here. 3500 miles. Love the car overall, however, ride quality is disappointing. Wish Honda would pivot away from tech as a priority and back toward the driver’s experience. The stock 19” wheels and low-profile tires are a mistake IMHO, and I wish I knew that at time of purchase. I am researching quite a bit and finding that swapping out for 17”wheels and higher profile tires such as Continental Pure Contact LS might be a good solution. Dealer quote for 17 inch wheels was astonishingly high so I’m working with a Discount Tire store instead. Looking at about $2000 roughly. Hope to offset some of that by selling the stock wheels and tires. We shall see 🤷🏻♂️
I totally agree with the comments these other people are making. This Accord is fugly. way to plain. either get their design engineers on track, or find new ones. And by Consumer reports, it seems the reliability has also been lost.. Pick it UP HONDA
As a Honda/Acura lover. This is not it. You said “it’s low profile and dynamic lines easily make it the best looking accord sedan ever” say what? The previous gen was so much more good on the eyes. This is not it. Hate to say but Toyota and the Camry are where it’s at.
Anything over 2 weeks, which is how long we typically have vehicles in for testing, is considered long term. We will have this Accord for an entire year and periodically post updates about it.
What the heck is motorweek doing plugging an ugly Nissan guised in a hideous paint job for an Accord update? Also, this gen Accord is a disgrace. I see the bean counters at Honda have been hired back. This gen’s styling is bland, generic, and cost-cutting. I am an Accord fan having driven multiple generations but this one reminds me of the ‘08-‘10 model years. This is not a car Honda should be proud of…
The trend of long car hoods is dumb. Crv rav4 mazda cx 30 cx 50. If the engines were inline 6's it would make sense but they are all horizontal 4 cylinders. Mazda CX90 is an inline 6. I guess long hoods attract clueless average buyers.
Camry is ancient junk. At least Accord is bold and new. Also Camry hybrid powertrain is old loud and buzzy. Camry was cute about 6 years ago when it came out. It’s old news and continues to be old news even with the “new” model

The last one was definitely the best looking accord ever, he missed with that line.

@@supersteve1585Agreed!
That car never ages.
❤ 45 mpg
It needs a major facelift. Hopefully the refresh year does it justice.
Have a 2024 Touring it's a GREAT ride! No complaints so far

Best looking Accord ever? Gen 5 would like to have a word with you.
I’d take this over a Camry, many times over again. The Camry hasn’t set itself apart enough from its previous generation. It feels like a refresh.
Needs a major exterior styling refresh.

There is wiggle room with Honda? How much off the MSRP can one expect?
1000 mile test is kinda crazy i got a brand new pilot 25 black edition and put 1200 miles in a week long trip from up north to down south and back
Bought this in August 2024. Drove 3000 miles till today. Loving it. No complaints. Looks fantastic. Drives fantastic. Feels fantastic.

@@DaveDDD You're entitled to your opinion like I am mine.
The previous model accord was MUCH better looking. This looks like a Taurus.
Agreed
This Accord is a fleet of taxis in a third-world country...lol....I own the 2022 Accord 2.0T....and it makes this New Accord looks and performs shameful.
THANK YOU!!!! The 10th gen looked way better!
I have one... love the style and mpg, but the ride is not smooth... too rough suspension!
Yeah the ride could have been a bit more smoother.
''Bad'' marketing choice, trying to give the car a ''sporty/youthfull'' feel while comprimising comfort.

I would switch to aftermarket 18 inch wheels and grand touring tires.
@@lanesworld4000 17" even better
Springs, shocks, and bushings all soften over time so the ride should be smoother as it ages.

Not a super fan of the exterior but it does look good while driving. The interior is best in class.
Best looking ever??? No sir
Why does this have low profile tires?
Bland styling
Stylish sheet metal and plastic is pointless. It changes every few years and we will never reach perfection
@@mbox314 complacency isn't something to be proud of
@sportsMike87 I believe in objective beauty and that does not change every 5-10 years.
Not a bad looking car(in black)… I was a critic at first.

I'm interested in the sales numbers at the end of the year. It's so ugly i can't imagine it beat any sales numbers from the previous generations
Who has ever bought a Honda for it's looks? You buy it because you want it to run when you need it to.
@@paulcarlin5181 not to me. For the most part the accord was just the better looking than the Camry
in 90's Nissan Sentra was compared to Civic of Honda or Corolla Toyota. To Accord should be Altima
Honda pays reviewers to praise them and not to be critical on anything
Ironic (maybe coincidental?) that his last name is Carloss

The Camry has a frog faced upper lip in place of a grill. It's horrid. And no V-6
hmm, still waiting on a refresh of this car. but i hope they do
I thought Ford discontinued the Taurus
Best looking accord sedan ever?? Are you guys blind?? 😂😂😂
They certainly need to see their ophthalmologist for an eye exam.
You really expect them to be honest and call it "butt-ugly?" They're all cheerleaders.
The first time I saw one in person, I thought it was European from a distance. Good job Honda.
“European” is not an attribute nor is it a benefit.
The copy of an Audi A7
Best looking ever? Please. What a joke.
1 month is considered “long term”? interesting.
Anything over 2 weeks, which is how long we typically have vehicles in for testing, is considered long term. We will have this Accord for an entire year and periodically post updates about it.
its a long term test car and this is an update to their testing. If you've never watched MW, they do 'long-term updates' every episode.
Best looking Accord?? No thanks, I’ll stick with my 2019 Accord Touring.
LOL "best looking accord ever"
Did you not see the last gen accord dude? What a joke. This line had to be satirical
The sacrifice is the extra money you pay for the Hybrid.
What the heck is motorweek doing plugging an ugly Nissan guised in a hideous paint job for an Accord update? Also, this gen Accord is a disgrace.

Lmfao. 1,000 miles is nothing. Let us know when you cross the 50k mark.
So ugly whoever designed this needs to be fired.
It’s the ugliest Accord in history
They ruined the accord. ‘18-22 was the best
Sacrificed 50 horses and any tiny semblance of fun.
Ain't nobody buying an accord hybrid to track 💀
@@TYPICALTRYHARD_ no shit
I think it looks fine, but no 2.0T no sale on my end. And nobody’s buying the TLX either.

Some of us like the look, but regardless Mazda has a 4-2-1 header in the Skyactiv that needs the space.
Best looking? It looks like a rejected Volkswagen design. Its hidious
The LCD instrument panel looks cheap and stupid.
Too bland, Camry kills this.
Yeah, right. More like Honda bland vs Toyota bland.
Camry is ancient junk. At least Accord is bold and new. Also Camry hybrid powertrain is old loud and buzzy. Camry was cute about 6 years ago when it came out. It’s old news and continues to be old news even with the “new” model
Not too long ago, we'd have said the opposite.
And it shows in the sales. The Camry is the leader.
@@dohc1067 McDonald’s is the leader in burger sales. Does that mean it’s the best?
Liar. That’s the ugliest Accord in all 11 generations
