Any accord with the button shifters are a 10AT not a CVT I personally have the 2.0T EXL accord and it’s fun to drive very quick and it definitely has gears lol
You only compared interior and options? Not a real/full comparison. Old Accord 2.0T wins simply because it has a real and awesome 10-speed transmission which is now used only on high-end Acura models, more power, more torque, and is 1 second faster 0-60. For being so much faster the gas mileage is very respectable on the 2.0T and well into the 30's on the highway (I get up to 40mpg when I cruise at 55-60 and got 38.2 on a 3-hour trip with the CC set at 75 mph), so that cancels out the only advantage of the hybrid Accord if you compare power & acceleration vs mileage. The 2.0T will also never lose any power, whereas the Hybrid will start losing power after 6 years and in about 10 years, 12 max will need new batteries that cost $8K to $10K today to replace, or about double that ($15K-20K) in 10-12 years! The 2.0T can also be tuned a lot easier and cheaper for more performance. It's a no-brainer.
I work at Honda, any Accord 2022 or before with the 1.5l turbo (only in ex, lx, and Touring) come with a CVT. There is the 2.0T Accord Sport or Touring models with the similar 9-speed transmission as the pilot. Weirdly enough there are models optioned as Touring, but they are only optioned with a 1.5T and a CVT.🥲
