Review: 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring

- I spend a week with the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring to see what it's like to live with the 11th gen Accord. With a hybrid-heavy lineup for this new generation, the 2023 Accord focuses on an improved hybrid experience compared to the last generation and combines it with best-in-class comfort and amenities in my opinion. Overall, it retains it's crown as one of the nicest driving and most refined midsize sedans in the segment and while some of the excitement of the old 2.0T is lost, the 2023 Accord Hybrid should please the mainstream buyer even more than before. What do you think about the 2023 Honda Accord? Thanks to Honda for providing this vehicle to review!

You're the ONE AND ONLY car reviewer who actually commented on the usefulness of this accord's ventilated seats. Thanks, this is worth verifying
Useless*ness lol
I liked the cooled seat in my ecoboost mustang, but really only for getting the hot leather cooled down in summer. Do these even do that much?
@@lionintu Exactly. Some reviewers look at car brochures and jump online to make reviews. I own this car. I took it back to the dealer because I thought my ventilated seats were defective. Even when wearing shorts I feel NOTHING. No air, nothing. I just hear the fans in the seat but I have no idea where that air is going to
I get it that Honda is trying to please the green crowd by making hybrids but the 10th generation Accord styling and the powerful 2.0 liter engine producing 252HP is an astonishing car with delightful driving characteristics that will be a sought after classic.
The hybrid existed for the 10th gen as well. Its not a new thing…
What’s the big deal about 252hp, you can get a Camry with 300+. Just buy a sports car if you want speed
I'm just glad you're still alive Accord.
Great review Matt. I owned a 2019 Accord and couldn’t get over how much back seat space it had, great for adult passengers and for child car seats! Honda Accord is a fantastic versatile sedan.
I sleep in my Accord! I put a queen sized mattress in the back with the seats folded down...
@@shojus nice, LOL!
@@pistolpete6321 😂
It’s cool but I think I prefer the previous Gen. New Gen civic looks better than this imo. Good review as always!
New gen civic looks great
Thanks Eddie!
Awesome review Matt! Sucks that Honda first got rid of the Legendary J35 V6, and now they got rid of the 2.0T. Wish Honda kept the 2.0T.
My 2011 Acura's J35Z6 V6. Still runs like new, never needs any repairs.
Unfortunately, the US made a law that by 2030 or 2035, all brand new vehicles have to become electric, that’s why they’re pushing the hybrid system more.
@@abdulgill5013 that is so freaking dumb...
I agree
Hello, Matt. Thanks for this great video and all the information you've given. The video was granular, which I like. For instance, no other reviewer has talked about the poor ventilation of the seats for the HVAC. I have the 2023 Accord EX-L, which has been excellent in every way.
Idk why everyone wants to trash this just for not having the Type R engine. The car does the job for what it's supposed to be. The Accord was always a car that gets you to point A to point B reliably.
Exactly
Great review, but that car sounds LOUD with road and wind noise. Also, I like that you highlighted the new safety cage in the Accord, most reviewers skip that part. It’s shocking it’s taken auto manufacturers this long to get passenger cars to adopt to large vehicles when they are the ones making them.
Great Job! and thanks 🙂💪
Great review!!!
Great review as always Matt. I think that if I could have this interior in the last gen with the 2.0t I'd be a pretty happy camper. The hybrid system seems to yeild pretty decent economy while not being a bore to drive.
Thanks Jack! Yeah it’s pretty good but I’d rather have the 2.0T too. Thankfully a lightly used TLX is the same money so that’s kind of the answer for me at least if I was in the market for something like that.
Thanks for this video Matt, this helped the decision, white 2023 Sport Hybrid and loving every second of it! 🙏🏾.
Congrats on the new Accord Haris! I’m glad the video helped you decide!
Why did you choose the sport over the touring?
Previous gen is where Accord styling peaked.
I had a 2016 Honda Accord Sport and it was one of my favorite cars ever. 19" road wheels it handled great yet drove smooth and quiet! Only $25,000.00
About $32k MSRP now for the Sport model, but you also get Hybrid tech. Amazing how 7 years, mass inflation and chip shortages can affect on pricing huh... 😆
@@shojusWow! Prices Sure do rise but that's not too bad especially that you get the Hybrid package with it now. Great car!
I just bought this car. Im getting 52 to 58 mpg with combined driving
Dang! What trim? Congratulations! I just got a white sport hybrid. 2023.
@@harisqureshi7469 I purchased the Touring
@joycep5237 did you figure out how to set rgen breaking for your trip. Someone mentioned if you hold the paddle it won’t reset eveytime you break. Also people are reporting ride quality and road noise difference ex-l 17 inch versus 19 inch so what is your take. Thanks!
Not sure who this question is for but I'll go ahead and answer it. To have regen "always on" you need to click the left paddle a few times and then hold it on the last time. this will keep it on regardless. The only time it will turn off is if you set cruise control, and cancell it, etc. And, I have a white 2023 Sport Hybrid with just over 4000 miles and I dont mind the ride one bit. The wheels look amazing so its an ok trade off. Getting 52MPG using max regen. I drive 60-70MPH in congested traffic and in the slow lane so maybe thats why but I have 0 complaints, this car is really nice, doesnt have me yearning for an Acura, or anything nicer, this is more than enouch for years and years to come :)
@@harisqureshi7469 so I assume with sports L hybrid you have 19 inch wheel and you have no complaints I am leaning towards touring as I must have BSI and nice audio and I really liked HUD feature
Loving that blue ❤
Great review. Good to know about the lack of heated steering and XM--that would be a dealbreaker for me.
Love this new generation of Accord already. Touring trim is my next purchase !
I have a 2021, 10th Gen 2.0T Touring and I absolutely love the car! No issues at all! Every time I get my service done at the Honda dealership they offer to buy my car! Apparently, the 2.0T’s are highly desirable right now. I will admit, the new accord is starting to grow on me. I’ll have to test drive a touring model to see if I like it! Only two colors I would consider are urban gray and lunar silver.
I just got a sport hybrid in white! Coming from a 2018 1.5 sport CVT. Words can't describe how much I love this new car- it's amazing. Doesn't have me yearning more (power, luxury, etc) 🙏🏾
I feel like this is going to be like the Honda Ridgline. Everyone is going to hate it but the ones who own it will love it.
Great comment on crash safety and structure refinement. It paid off with the new Accord. The only sedan that got a good rating in the new IIHS moderate crash test that measures rear seat safety
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for being honest about the actual impact of ventilated seats. That really helps me as a shopper. ❤
I live in south Texas. My 2019 Pilot has ventilated seats. I’ll never buy another vehicle without it.
@@stevennevins6643 Ok I appreciate that info! I’m in Mississippi! Every little bit helps in the Summer!
@@GenXtra65 Understood. Lived in Ocean Springs for 4 years.
I'm looking for a comfortable road trip car with good gas mileage (low carbon footprint) and reasonable performance. This seems to be it, based on your review. Lack of Sirius radio isn't a big deal; easy to work around. Honda has been building great Accord cars for about 40 years; great brand protection.
Can you please show the whole start up sequence when you start the car? Thanks.
Matt I totally agree with you. This is a better car than the previous generation, however there are two things I personally do not like and that’s the honeycomb vent and the location of the 12 inch display. This has become so obstructive in cars. And last but not least, I would gladly swap the heads up display for a heated steering wheel which can be a dealbreaker for some. That said I am totally happy with Legacy Touring XT that left no option off the table. You are doing a great job Matt.
Do you live near Kennet square PA? my buddy lives right down the road from your test drive.
Which model has the nice dual exhausts out back?
Prolly notice the cooled seats in the middle of the summer.
Matt is definitely a secret Honda boy. Me too ❤
I like it! I just wish it has an AWD model. This is the perfect daily commute car if all you care about is getting from point a to point b in comfort.
thanks
i traded my 10th gen. Im loving this car so far ♥
Same here 🍺🍺
You must not have owned the 2.0T Accord. I'm betting you owned the hybrid or the 1.5T.
@@a32tl you mean like 90% of people who buy accords to go to work
@Andy, im not trying to impress other Honda drivers and talk crap about 1.5 owners with the 10th gen. the 11th has a simple, modern, and mature look to it. im here to get comfortable in the car and go to work, not to impress other honda drivers.
10 gen interior,cabin noise, handling, tech and mpg, sound system, and the annoying trunk that doesn't fully open when controlled by a remote....theyre not for me
My new hybrid can only go from 0-60 in under 7 seconds, and im fine with that.
44-48mpg. about 520mi range with smaller fuel tank? yeah, who/what is a 10th gen?
I’ve had this Accord for over a month & I am loving it. I’ve had over 60 new cars… I’m getting to a more practical point in my life.
got to test drive last year a 22 touring 2.0t.......man that engine goes!!!!!! end up getting a genesis g70 tho.
How are you liking it? Looking into it. Only downside for me is the back cargo space
@@KINGHofficial I love it!!! It’s just me so cargo isn’t a big deal but the engine is what sold me! Black on black also and no markup!
@@bigrig9749 yeah if I can get the Genesis at no markup, it’s sort of a no brainer. Right now I’m getting an offer for the 2022 accord touring at MSRP
For me the accord sits too low to the ground hampering ingress and egress. The infotainment system looks great compared to my slow responding and frequent freeze ups on my Honda Ridgeline (2020). The heated steering on my honda is absolutely wonderful (bad omission on the accord) and my RTL-E stereo sounds great. I don't have cooled seats but have experienced them in a Mazda (wonderful in southern climates). The beltline looks high in the accord hampering outside visability (it looks almost chin level on you). As far as smoothness, it seems to be going the Camry route and abandoning its sporty roots. The 2.0T will be sorely missed. I understand the emissions and mpg concerns. I have had two accords and loved them, but they are a bit noisy on the highway. The accord coupe I had was the v/6 auto EXL. I would love to get my hands on a low mileage one of those as it had no problems for me. As always Matt, great job with your review.
The front end does sit very low. I scraped the bottom twice in the first week. I now take it really slow pulling in/out of driveways.
Really love what they're doing with the car as a whole, but as a former 6 MT owner I really do miss some of the grunt these had.
Pretty clean
So the 10th gen Accord, had all three engine options. And that was great!! But why would Honda take away the 2.0t, with all the competition out there?🤔 Why would Honda make the Accord less competitive, with the K5 GT, the V-6 Camry, and the VC turbo Altima?
I could not agree more. Honda should have nixed the 1.5T engine, offered the hybrid as their core product and kept the 2.0T for those of us who prefer higher driving performance.
Majority of the market ain't buying the sedans for being fast. If you really want a performance sedan then save up your money to have one but those midsize sedans aren't going to do it.
Lol prefer performance. You guys are ridiculous. Trying to get "performance out of a tiny 2.0T:
Great hybrid but I'd wait for the new Camry hybrid late this year before pulling the trigger. If rear seat room is a priority then the Accord will most definitely still beat the new Camry.
I heard it got pushed back to 2025
Unfortunately, my local Honda dealership is notorious for marking up their cars for insane amounts. They asked 44k for a civic SI and 64k for the Type R. So my guess is I'll see a similar markup on this car and for that money, I'd rather grab the 2023 Lexus ES300h. Otherwise I wouldn't mind this car at all if I could get the Touring trim at msrp, but hey, other than driving to another major city, what can ya do? Great review as always, Matt!
Thanks! I’d definitely at least inquire about the Accord, most dealers shouldn’t be treating them like Type Rs.
Who in their right mind is paying 64k for a Honda?
@@yoshiakik.5332 The dealer said they had 2 guys spend the night in the parking lot for the first type R off the truck. It sold for the same amount.
@@krammit89 Those guys must really want a civic. Weird.
Keep searching around. Got a 23 for under MSRP. Kept all the dealer add ons too 😜
I like the touring but i am worried the 19 inch wheels may be a little harder ride and a bit more costly to replace compared to the 17 inch wheels.
Umm Honda..where’s the chrome on the grill ??? 10 th gen had more character IMO..where’s the heated steering wheel?? Etc….time to get in touch with the competition..
Coming from previous owner of Hondas..90-93 Accords were the most iconic and durable..owned a 91 Accord wagon..wish I still owned it
Thank you so much, just wish it looked sportier.
The Exl is best bang of buck trim in this generation.
I got a 2023 Touring, but my Google app doesn’t work properly
At the end of the day the accord was and is an excellent family sedan to move people and be efficient doing that. The sportiness hopefully will be found elsewhere in Honda's lineup
Matt is it true the accord don’t have XM radio
Yep, no XM. I discuss that in the interior segment.
Great car with all the features and design but terrible seats which is the only flaw but big one.
Seat doesn't go up and down completely but tilt up and down only from front for driver seat. Passenger seat does not have tilting option either. Seats dipped too much, so lack of cushioning as well and considering top touring model, will give seats 1/10. If we ignore seats, then easily 8/10 for touring model. Honda needs to do much better job with seats!
Looks like an appliance. Also looks like an incentive to keep my 16 Accord V6 Touring sedan indefinitely.
Do any trims offer a spare tire? Wouldn’t consider it a rode trip car with a can of fix flat
The 1.5t LX and EX have a spare.
This is a big car! 🤭 Keeps getting bigger!
If I didn't want the hybrid and did not need the space. I would pony up another $1000 and get a Base G70. Even the 2.0t makes 250hp 260fpt. But the real reason is the interior.
I never owned a Honda but this might be the one. I think I’m in love 😂
Did you get it? Thinking of getting one
@@grandmastagrimm8773 going with a SuV. Just make sure you do some research and a good test drive to see if it’s for you.
Upwards of 50mpg.. very impressive
It's weird that y'all can't get a heated steering wheel down there below us in the US - because they have it for the new Accord (and the new Civic) up here in Canadaland! =D
Because Honda North America tries to push people into Acuras for certain features here in the US. 🙄
No more 10spd, no more K20T, no more God Tier head unit. Honda doesnt give a shit about this car anymore.
Didn't the last gen Accord have heated steering wheel?
At least not in the US
Dealer installed option.
You said 2.5L turbo? I'm pretty sure it's a 1.5L lol
Yeah, just misspoke lol.
This one's tough. I like the outside, and love the inside. But ending the 2.0T and still charging the same is rough. It's still a great commute and road trip car, but loses the added ability to be a fun performer when you want it to be.
The 10th gen touring hybrid cost the same as the 2.0t.
Polarizing design. Idk if I like it better than the outgoing model
Man first they get rid of the v6 and now they got rid of the 2.0T smh
Not to mention they also got rid of the 6-speed manual in the Sport and 2.0T Sport trims, although that happened after the 2020 model year before the 10th gen Accord got a facelift
Also only CVT option now, no more traditional 10 speed auto
If you want performance in this class it seems like Hyundai and Kia are the main choices. V6 Camry still exists also.
@@gregkramer5588imagine telling someone 10 years ago that your only performance choices were from Hyundai/Kia in this segment. You'd be laughed at.
Honda made a brief comeback in 2013 when the redesigned the Accord and now they've fallen apart again 10 years later
How can it be very relaxing when you just said how noisy it is?
03:06 - Interesting to see the oil life is 80% with 3,007 miles on the odometer...
Lol fr
? No satellite radio????? weird.
Honda took a step back with this gen accord. I think they probably don't want the accord stealing sales from Acura. Exterior styling and performance have taken a huge dip, imo. Only thing that looks good is the new interior.
NO SATELITE RADIO ????
Not much to complain about
Alex on autos said that the new accord hybrid is slower than the last gen due to fake shifts. I don't know who to believe lol.
Alex has become a Hyundai/Kia fanboy as of late. He always tries to find something to hate about Hondas.
This car is just too beautiful
Where is 2.0 Accord with a manual?
Dead for this generation. It's in the Civic Type-R or in the Acura TLX with the same engine but with a 10-speed automatic.
I have owned 3 Accords. They drive great. But this new front is so Ford Fusion...no thinking went into that bland design. Also, all that gloss black trim interior trim is cheap looking and smudge collector in any car.
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio (in the US) for some reason if you get one in Canada it comes with XM Radio, so Honda, there is no excuse. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these glaring deficiencies will be resolved. Latest news as of January 2024 Honda Parts will sell you a spare tire kit for approximately $500.
Here he is. The ultimate troll. 9546 says the same thing on every review of this car. Hes a honda hating troll. A sick dude
Honda seems to not be pushing the ball forward nor taking any risks.
This new gen Accord is inferior to the last Accord. I will definitely buy a used 2022.
How is inferior? I test drove both. The 2023 Accord is bigger, smoother and much better gas mileage.
I took test drive of Accord 2023, camry 2023, Sonata 2023. Accord looks so clean in design and its interior feels luxurious and premium than all other cars in this range.
Nice to see digital clusters make a comeback.
Awsome review Matt ! Car not so awsome ..
Dropping the 2.0T is a major step backwards.
Exterior style is also a step back, imo. Car looks really boring and conservative now.
Barely anyone bought it though. Same as the manual transmission.
@@Alumnikiid nope that's a lie you had to go out and find one in different dealerships cause of low supply and if they did have one they always had a big markup.
@@SpinachLeaf So whats the lie? Your statements doesn’t disprove my comment. In the end they didn’t sell enough.
i work at a honda dealership, and 85% of my leads are "do you have a hybrid do you have a hybrid"
🙂👍
Canada gets a heated steering wheel and Sirius XM...makes no sense!
I hate that the used the same wheel as the civic
The dumped XM because they say everybody streams now
I don't stream. I love my XM.
every honda vehicle will have the same interior... boring.
Did I just hear 2.5 turbo 😂
Ah, did I miss it in the edit? Whoops 🤦♂️
Good luck cleaning the honeycomb dust infected grill
Wait til this dude discovers compressed air 💀
Great review but Honda dropped the ball with this one. Its ugly. Only thing good is the interior design and bose system. Im glad i have my 10th gen
I think the long nose is the worst feature, front overhang seems too large. I am sure buyers of this car will like it overall. Solid car top to bottom. The Sonata will get quite a bit better mileage but quite a bit less power. The Sonata hybrid front is one I do not like much either.
Long-term riability on a Sonata though ..... I have my doubts. I'll wait for the 2024 Camry then I'll know which is best
@@lionintu Camry is the only one that would be more reliable in theory. The 2024 Sonata and Camry will both be interesting. I would likely go Sonata. I like all the features and pricing both. They just have felt more upscale than the Camry to me for few years.
@@gregkramer5588 the new 2024 Sonata refresh will look insane. They went a totally different direction on the front end. I agree its worth checking out.
Looks like a flagship Mitsubishi, like a revived Diamanté 🤣🤣
6 trims is absolutely ridiculous…4 max, but honestly 3 trims is enough.
Looks remind me of an old Camry, may as well just take the badges off at this point. This is just a utility device, a washing machine has more character
Agreed. Some of those LG color washer/dryers have more visual appeal than the new Accord.
Yo
What happened
I’ve owned Honda autos for the past 48 years. With no XM in the new model I will now look elsewhere.
Bro Sirius XM has been dead for 20 years now.....
The powertrain is a hot mess. Using the gas engine as a generator and having one gear for highway use is a dumb system. The Toyota synergy drive is a better system.
Have you driven it personally?
The Toyota system is a lot noisier 😂 and the regen braking falls behind it’s competitors
@@naveenthemachine But it is far more efficient.
@@matthewalexis that’s the only thing it has. Albeit very impressive. But again the regen braking isn’t as good as the accord. You can’t adjust it
@@kez850 Guaranteed he did not.
It looks like a Lincoln version of a Ford Taurus if Ford still made sedans
The seats are like sitting in a hole Why oh why? Not very comfy
Looks like a mix of an Chevy Malibu and Hyundai/Kia. Honda and Toyota have disappointed in the style department for the last 10 to 15 years. They don't have the quality they once had either.
looks like ford taurus
1:04 192 hp for a 3k plus pound is horrible i get there not made for speed but still
The worst ventilated seats in the history of car making. At 2:20 . I have this car and you feel NOTHING even when ventilation is at its max. A real joke.
