It has a 10-speed automatic transmission, 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 252 hp, WIRELESS Android Auto / Apple CarPlay, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. But with all that said, is it the BEST mid-size sedan money can buy? Or should you choose the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima or Kia K5 instead??

“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!” - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Just traded in my 2014 Touring for a 2021, and I have to say... the accord once again goes above the intended segment and competes well with higher makers. This is truly an impressive car and the 2021 touring wheels get lots of comments. Great looking ride.
What was your otd price?
Story time brothers: My wife loves BMW(she has a pristine E39 M5 w/ only 52k miles on it). In 2018, her lease on a 2015 530i came up, but over the years we've just noticed you get less bang for your buck on German lower trim cars vs the midsizers from Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Kia. So we went out to look at the then-new Camry and Accord. Driving is a large part of what she does daily being in medical equipment sales(especially these days), so the vehicle must be very comfortable, drives well, latest autonomous tech, quiet enough, etc. We first went to Toyota, where she liked the styling of the Camry XSE, but was let down by no Android Auto(at the time), and poor seat comfort. We then went to Honda where she fell in love with the Accord Touring(calling it a knock-off Audi A7🤣), but two things ruined it for her: The NFC badge etched into the fake wood as like fire to her eyes, and the wheels...the freaking wheels. I even offered to change them once we bought the car, but nope, she was not having it. So, back to BMW we went for another 5-Series lease. Interestingly, that vehicle did not have cooled seats, very little autonomous driver aides, no remote start, and no Android Auto. But short on time and liking the styling of the new 5-Series, she got another. Enter 11/6/2020: The lease being up on the BMW, we went back to Honda to check out the updates to the Accord, and viola, we actually bought it(not leased). (We also headed over to Kia to see if the K5 2.5T was available, but it was not). Over the 2018 we considered, this Touring certainly seems quieter, in addition to the other attributes that make the Accord so good. I believe its faster and more efficient than the 530i, and it doesn't drive all that much worse, despite being FWD. The steering is actually better(no surprise, being a Honda). We went with the Radiant Red Metallic and it just sets the car off so good with the new wheels. Overall, we are very impressed thus far.
Nice! That makes a lot of sense to make the switch 👍
Ok
Yeah, I like that red color.
Damn, id hate to have a wife like her lmao
Nice.
Who would’ve thought that the accord is a Mercedes in 2021. Car looks amazing
The ideal choice when buying an accord
The new but already beloved 2.0t with the 10speed
Right in time for lunch :)
Thank you guys
I have the 2013 honda Accord touring with ~90k miles. It is such a solid car, I love it. Honestly, worse part about it is that it will never die and I won't be getting a new car for another decade or two 😜, I fully expect >250k.
The styling progression for the accord has been on point!
will 100% get to 250k, my 2013 ex-l just hit 250K last week
I drove my first Accord 7th Gen for 13 years (brand new off the lot till 130k miles zero issues), traded it in on a 9th Gen Accord Sport CVT, and it has around 100k on it now. Looking to buy a 2021 Accord Touring 2.0t really soon. Cannot wait to get the updated 10th gen 2.0t.
I will say, I miss my 7th gen v6 Accord. And I am pretty sure it would have kept going all this time, with minor issues.
250k is nothing for a Honda :D
@@yarbaystrength My 2016 Accord LX has just under 210k on it, I plan to keep it for a few more years before I make a big upgrade anytime soon. The 10th Gen Accord Touring 2.0L Turbo is high on that list if I do decide too eventually, it's sad they got rid of it for the 11th gen just to make the TLX more appealing but they're both great cars.
I think it's best in this segment...
Much better than competitors 👍🏻
Thank you for this wonderful video🤩
The headlights were always fully LED for the touring trim but now all trims will have them as standard equipment. Also, the full suite of Honda Sensing has been standard for all trims since 2018.
Hey man.. Nice review video 📹
Wow the accord is awesome with the fully loaded touring nice job
you guys need to do a Q&A! what got you into cars? What were you first cars? how long videos take to make? etc..
Wow!!! Those wheels are man’s best creation.
As you mentioned in your video I'm supporting your work by subscribing your TH-cam channel 👍🏻
Thank you, friend! We appreciate it! 😁
Accord Touring a great car & a good value, though I wish Honda would offer a higher-end sound system on their upper tier models. A very thorough review - as per usual - congrats on getting yet another 1k subs, too! You guys really cranking out great reviews of some really in-demand cars! 😎
I agree with you, but just buy 2-3 years used and throw $2,500 at the stereo and it's better than almost any factory system :)
Yes
The interior is gorgeous
You guys helped me make my decision on getting a 2018 EX-L a couple of years ago and I appreciate your review of the cars you look at. I will definitely be looking at the Touring when it’s time to replace my current Accord, especially upgrading to the 2.0 engine. Keep up the good work!
2.0 makes it a fun car to drive...
I wouldn’t know the difference between an 18 sport 2.0 and the 2021 sport 2.0 looks perfect
Nice review!!!
Got a Honda Accord Sport 2.0T 2021 and it is phenomenal, seeing this just reenforces my admiration for this car model, performance is out of this world and i always catch the eyes of my audience…s.n i like my carbon fiber interior better tho.
Excellent presentation.....it really helped me!!! Thank You!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the review!
Good review thanks! I am glad I didn't take advantage of the 2020 deals going on right now on Toyotas. I'll wait and see what happens. If only they would put a natural v6 in one of these with that trans. I decked a limited today in that dark grey and it pops hard with the curved side molding option.
Still loving my 2019 accord touring 2.0t. Great video guys!! Stay safe!! 👊👊
Thanks! Curious, do you like your wheels or the new wheels better?
@@CarConfections mine 😉
@@drewbenefield2001 Same here, I prefer my 2020 Touring wheels, but I need to see these in person first to be sure.
I just picked up a 20 Touring and yeah the rims looks a lot better in person. This new 21 Touring rim doesn't look all that nice. The blades looks better.
@@smokesgtp same
What a great review! This is the first review I've seen of yours and I am very impressed! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos! I will subscribe after this comment. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, Chris! Glad to have you as a new subscriber!
Great review buddy new friend from Philippines
Nice car, great video! 👌👍👍
Could you do a EXL hybrid review please ? Your reviews are really great. Thank you.
We should be reviewing the Hybrid in the next month or so 👍
Great View! I love Honda Forever my favorite car
Thought about getting one. I own a 2017 v-6. Gotta say I’ll really prefer the sound of the v-6 over this. Hope it returns for 2023.
How was it compared to the Avalon TRD in your opinion on an in person fun-to-drive aspect?
You guys do a nice job; subscribed.
Thanks! Welcome to the Car Confections family! 😁
Seems like I hear a rumbling noise from the 19" wheels? They need performance tires which are more expensive and wear out faster; correct me if I'm wrong. Plus, they ride a bit more rough on rough roads as compared to regular all season tires on 18" wheels?
I'm trying to be on the road with this one Chief!🤩🚘
Great review guys! I have a question and it is a little abit off topic.....what is the difference between the touring package vs. Elite when it comes to the Honda Pilot 🤔?
Thanks! Not much, from what I can remember but we do have the 2021 video you could check out as well
@@CarConfections Okay, will checkout 2021 video. Thanks for the reply 🙂
I think the wheels look better this year. I just totaled a 21 sport 2.0t and am getting the touring this time.
Hi, 4 WSU power adjustment on the front passenger seat?
All we need now is adjustable interior ambient lighting
I guess Honda saves that stuff for the TLX
You can buy it on eBay & even install it yourself 👌🏼👌🏼
@@media6969 Decided to go with that, hopefully they arrive before Christmas 👍🏻
Drew, was that a 2021 Audi RS6 Avant I saw on your phone's lock screen?
I agree, the faux wood trim does look real, wow. Seats front and back look very comfortable, the button placement for the rear heated seats is smart 👌. Storage space under the center armrest for a 4 door sedan is impressive.
You know it! One of my favorite cars of all time and can't wait to drive it one day!
@@CarConfections The RS6 models are slowly making there way to U.S. Audi dealerships, there's only one RS6 in Navara Blue at an Audi dealership here in South Dakota where I live. The RS6 looks amazing in Navara and red 👌.
Howdy, great review as always y’all! I definitely think this is way better than the V6 the last gen Accord had! The one thing I do wish Honda would do would be to make a heated steering wheel optional. 😸😻😸
It’s an accessory you can add to the car from a Honda dealership
@@MKF27in the US?
@@Yurboiisilly2 yeah. Maybe only for certain trims but it is an option.
@@MKF27 interesting, thanks for sharing
Was this available in any Right hand drive countries? Wasn't sold in the UK and doesn't seem like they were sold in Japan or Australia either :(
Love my 2020 Touring, the only thing after a year of ownership is that I’m still wanting for is a great sound system and AWD, that’s what will have me looking at the TLX S Type or Audi S5 next year. But it still feels very quick and entertaining and looks great to me!

@@scotthenry7559 I think your Accord has the 450 watt sound system, correct? I have a 2021 Sport SE.
@@bmlove81 yes the 450w still sounds trash
Great video. Did this car have the Lanewatch camera?
Thanks, David! Honda doesn't offer Lanewatch on the Accord
@@CarConfections Instead, the Accord has Blind Spot monitoring !
That sounds similar to the old Honda chimes we used to hear. Does the door chime on the 2021 Accord have the classic "beep-beep-beep-beep" like the older Hondas used to have?
Good review bro
I have the 2019 Accord Touring 2.0T in white pearl and it is an outstanding car for the price, I love all the features and design! I believe the wheels on mine look better than this one, the only think I am jealous from the 2021 is the wireless android auto feature.
Wish it had a 360 camera, I'd get in a heartbeat!
Got the 2022 hybrid, and people still can’t believe it’s a Honda. The hybrid sounds plus the sexy trim people keep on wondering what it is.
I just bought the 2021 Sport SE and I’m not sure how I feel about that stop/start thing when you stop. I know I can shut it off and also not activate it by fully depressing the brake pedal, but doesn’t that kill your starter over time? Also, I grew up in the 90’s and was always told it takes more gas to shut your car off and start it back up then just let it idle. I’m sure the Honda team knew what they were doing when they did this but I just can’t see it being something good long term.
Excellent review BUT did you mention the safety features such as Lane and Brake Assist, Blind Spot Detection, etc? That's what I really wanted to know. (Sorry if I missed it.) I'm glad it has a Heads Up Display!
Thanks! We mentioned that stuff at 2:45
The accord, civic and every single Acura are the only Honda’s I like in my opinion
OMG LOVE THIS CAR!!! I ALSO LOVE THE SONIC GRAY COLOR!!!
I bought one in sonic grey and I can't say enough about it. I love it more every time I see it
@@ernieparker4309 GREAT!!!!!
QUESTION... what are some thoughts on the 2021 Accord Hybrid Touring? I have 2 dealerships that I have at my lowest OTD price @ $37.500.00.. Good deal?
And what are your impressions of the Hybrid Touring?
Thank you
Joe
@@stateniland I like them. I like the wheels and the vented seats, and all of the features. I also like the white and gold
@@avery.norman426 what is white and gold?
I love the new wheel designs on the Touring!
How do we update our 2019 2.0 Sports to wireless android auto??
Excellent car but I'm taking my 2011 Honda Accord and I'm going to run it into the ground and hopefully go to 300,000 miles. Currently at a relatively small 100,000 miles by Accord standards. Honda is the best!
I love the face of this car
I just brought the same color I love it 👍🏾
Did they fix the Hood Flutter?
Super cool video, Guys! A real beauty of a car!👌
I have the ‘18 accord sport 2.0t. It’s a beast but wondering would there be some software update to allow WIRELESS apple CarPlay?! It would really speed up things instead of running wires and charging my new phone always. I don’t see much differences from the ‘18 besides the wireless CarPlay and wheels.
I heard there might be an update available (possibly for purchase?) sometime soon to get the wireless charging in there. I have a 2020 Sport 2.0T and wouldn’t mind it, haha. Definitely love my wheels better as well and no complaints overall!
A little head scratcher there from Honda for making the headlights LED and keeping the taillights incandescent
Taillights are led. Only the rear turn signals are incandescent
Not really. One of the first upgrades i do to my cars are LED bulbs. They're brighter and have a better color over halogen lights. From the drivers seat you can see and appreciate the benefit of the LED headlights
@@smokesgtp It should't be. Even the CRV has full LED including the turn signals. Honda should have changed that as well as the shape. I hate the lobster claw design.
@@chigasaki06 yeah, it depends on the color of the car for me. Black and Red it looks just fine...NTM, at night they look badass.
Tail lights and brake lights are LED?
I love my 2020 1.5 Sport Accord! 👊
Me too, I might get the 2.0 next year.
Spent quite a bit of time nearly 2 years ago comparing the Accord 2.0L Touring with the Camry XSE V6 and the Mazda6. On my personal checklist the Accord earned first place followed by the Mazda and the Toyota. I think that same order would hold for 2021. On the other hand, I wouldn't pull the trigger without a thorough examination of the Kia K5 GT and the Sonata N-Line.
The accord turbo not reliable anymore, even Kia beat them
How do you get the headlights to flash thanks. For posting
It's an effect caused by the cameras frame rate, so it not actually happening in real life. Thanks for watching!
Does the 2020 Accord 2.0T Touring auto brake at low speeds to avoid collision? Or only at high speeds? Thank You
Both. Thanks for watching!
I need to see the accord compared to the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N line
Have you compared the 2.0 Accord with the 2.0 Malibu? Would like to see a comparison between the two.
I would very much like your opinions of this car vs the mazda 6 carbon edition. Any thoughts?
It's a tough call... They are definitely the top 2 in driving dynamics to me. I think the Mazda looks better and has more luxury, but the Honda has much better tech. It's really really close...
@@CarConfections Thank you very much for the reply. I watch a lot of car videos. Four years ago, I bought a 2017 V6 touring, black on black. I compared it to the fusion sport, high end camry and mazda 6 GT. I had to buy for reliability and all round balance, so the accord won. I still find myself obscessed with car videos.
I'm thinking about getting one
Good video!
That small Mazda like display is looking outdated compared to many that have larger displays .
Show me what other car has it in three words . Reliable, any fuel at pump and room like a suv ?
A good mid cycle refresh but the wheels are a no go for me. Last year wheels on the touring looks much better in that trim. If Honda made a sportier version and tweaked that rear design than it would be a good look.
Mines 14 accord v6 and no other accords will beat my 285hp. Has so much speed and power for a accord
great video
Thanks!
Watching this. I want to get out of my 17 ex and get into a touring 19’.
I was really hoping you would test out the low speed auto braking with one of you stepping out in front of the car. LoL Only joking of course.
I looked at the 2024 Accords and was so disappointed to see that the 2.0/10 no longer exists in the lineup that I found a really low mileage (8K) 2022 Sport 2.0t and had to buy it. Your experiences with the 2021 mirror mine with the 2022. Fantastic car that should have survived in the lineup. The motor/trans combo is rare in a car in this price range with this much else to offer. Nice review.
Thanks! And congrats on buying the best version of the Accord!
How much was it
?
@@RevRumble_ Listed at $29.5K. I talked them down a grand and had a trade-in, so I walked away with a pretty decent deal considering these are in demand and getting harder to find. The 1.5T Sport is going for that much around here now.
Beautiful beautiful car
This car is quick
I got a 2018 accord sport 1.5, in thinking about trading it in for a touring
I love the touring model
Aggressive transmission i love it.
I want those rims on my 17 accord touring !!
Heated steering wheel is a dealer installed option here in the states.
It’s a great car but think of the new tlx coming with v6 turbo and awd
Can I ask why does the touring get the extra break lights but not the other models? But all of Canada models have them. That goes for the 2018-2020 accords in the US.
because honda have a plant in Canada most of their cars are built out there so they get some extra stuff the US doesn’t get
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall at least it isn't as bad as what Kia did with their Telluride. Only putting LEDs headlights on the SX trim when it first got released when a lot of car makers had standard LEDs headlights. Now it's an option on the EX trim. It's extra money and not standard like how it is on the 19+ Pilot and Passport.
Honda do strange things at times but they're not that bad. At least they giving you Honda Sense as standard. One of the first manufacturers to do so. Even more Toyota!
Oh btw I just picked up the 20 Accord Touring and yes I love that extra brake light 😁. The Canadian version gets some extra cause of their climate. It's mostly cold do they get standard heated steering wheel and that extra brake light. Kinda sucks but hey they do pay more for their cars so.
And it has remote start? Right?
As you were driving I noticed how much sunlight was on the dash and your arms as you were driving. Does Honda provide the glass any enhanced qualities to filter the most harmful rays in this touring class? Driving sun exposure matters to me as we have get a lot of sunny weather most days.
It wouldn't matter because you would have aftermarket ceramic tint installed anyway
At least the heated steering wheel is available as a dealer installed accessory and will pre-heat when you remote start the vehicle along with the heated seats when it is cold outside.
no 360 cam or AWD ?? whats up with that Honda ??
the rain sensing wipers gotten any better than they were in 2016? Was one of my biggest complaints! so annoying. Also, can you turn off all the safety sensing stuff. LKA ACC etc. Hate my car trying to drive me.
These wheels are very Outstanding instead of classy but I like them
Gorgeous vehicle and one of the best automotive values period!
Question, does the seat ventilation actually work in the 2021? The 2019 ventilation didn’t work worth a damn.
Mine works fine.
Ours works fine. Don't forget that is not a pushing air but it pull it to scattered humidity from skins. Take a toilet paper and place it on the seat, you will see if it stay in place at level 3. We drive a 2019 model.
I wish car manufacturers could make up their mind and have all LED lights, or none. It makes it look cheap when you have leds and then have incandescent in the back or front.
The best bang for you buck car you have all those luxury features and Safety for only $30k
A heated steering wheel is available. It's a dealer installed option. The new freshened 2023 model has no heated steering wheel.
Love it
Everything is better except for the fog lights, which kills the aggressive look for the front bumper imo
And the louder, more annoying start up beep noise lol
It this better than the Camry?
I'm two years late!! Also I still buy one bro.
All it need is the 360 camera view and a panoramic roof ….
I got the same color with ivory interior, it's noiiiice !
It actually leaves rubber on the pavement when you bone out.
I didn't even give it 100%. In sport mode,, depending on where in the power curve you give it the gasss, the turbo does lagg a bit, but no big deal.
It has many nooks n' cranies, so washing it can be tedious.
Hi! How is it to maintain ivory color interior in Accord?
