I traded my 2009 Accord which I loved. But my new hybrid Touring Accord, similar to the one you reviewed, is awesome. The seats are comfy, the room is extra special for my 6’2” frame, the 19” wheels enhance an already smooth ride. I only trade cars every 15-20 years so this one is going to have to last. The potential downside is all the computerization which, like most computers I’ve owned, will eventually cause problems. My 2009 only required good gasoline and timely fresh oil. Time will tell how this new one holds up. Oh, if you’re expecting to do your own maintenance … well, good luck with that. Enjoy the ride!!!
I believe Honda is trying to go the luxury/eco friendly route. They’ve done the sportiness for a while and with everything going electric (sadly) this is the outcome. The 2.0t was nice and a thrill to drive, but not too many people bought it. As far as the looks… I believe it has more of a mature luxury look which is quite nice in person but I definitely agree that the 10th gen looked better in the front end. Everything else looks nice.
What frustrates me the most is the options… the sport trim should come with leather seats as an option-the fact that you spend more just for leather seats and a few cosmetic changes for the Sport - L is crazy. The EX-L has more options, but looks plain like the LX or the EX. The Sport-L costs more than the EX-L, has less features, and the touring is nice but is not worth 40k given that the motor is the same as the lower trims and the features aren’t that well off from the EX-L. What they should’ve done was offered the LX > Ex > Sport or Sport L (not both but add the ability to option the differences of the two) EX L > then Touring. And throw in more power as an option for the higher trims at least.
I have the 2022 2.0T in white and still prefer the look of the 10th gens over these new ones. The new accords look too plain, it does not give a "sport" feel. I will say that the gas mileage is a very attractive.
Not enough torque, previous 2 Sport gens had faster 0-60. In city traffic sure, it'll feel quicker. But you can tell that speed is not what Honda was going for with this car.
@alexs_wrex Yes, but you mentioned the v6 accord torque as being good, but this generation as not enough, when the v6 had 252 torque and this has 247, I mean that is basically the same, why is the torque on the v6 enough but this generation not enough, they are nearly identical lol
@mc_sim not a cvt. Definitely dont on wiki. Go watch a breakdown from mechanics on this engine. Check out the car care nut. They only call it a ecvt because its be closest thing to a name they got for that engine lol but it has no pulleys, belts, alternator or starter and only 5 clutches. Doesn't even operate like a cvt.
I had a 2020 Accord Touring and while the 2.0T was fun, I didn't use it for power that much as a daily. I find it funny that they keep sticking to the same naming convention since "hybrid" and "sport" sort of contradict each other. If you get a hybrid, you want to save fuel not have more power. I just got a 2024 Sonata Hybrid after considering this car. I actually find it more fun to drive since trying to save fuel is sort of like a game now with the regen. I also love how quiet a hybrid is. If you want a real sporty car, I guess Honda only has the Civic Si and Type-R now as it seems like the Accord is more luxury oriented.
Yea I always find it funny to see Sport and Hybrid together. They typically are associated with opposite driving experiences. If you want an actual Sporty feeling car, you basically have to go with Acura, or the more powerful Civics you mentioned.
I do like the interior of the new accord. Yea I agree, the powertrain, they could at least offer the 2.0T as option like what the previous gen did to as they offered three powertrains. Hyundai still offering the 2.5T on there sonata for there refereshed year and Honda could at least tried to offer the engine for one more gen. I could had seen Honda could offered some things like an AWD system and a panoramic which they still lacking on. I have the 10th gen 2.0t Sport and I do like the wheels on the sport and this new gen sport wheels as well.
I have a 2019 Accord Touring and I love it. IMO Honda ruined this car. No fog lights, almost looks like a Jetta from the rear. Handle shift instead of push button even tho a lot of sport trims had handle shift and the engine options are blah. Great review…
Thanks 👍. And yea I agree, its the most lackluster "sport" trim they've had in a while. As a regular Hybrid it's great, I just don't think it's enough to be a sport trim, especially compared to previous gens.
I own a ‘21 Accord Touring 2.0T that I love. I am so disappointed with the 11th generation. What Honda should have done is nix the 1.5T engine option, made the hybrid their core offering and kept the 2.0T for those of us who prefer more power. I don’t hate the new car for what it is. I just hate the fact that they abandoned performance.
This is a family sedan. Why would it need more power? I never got that argument. Does have sports wheels and pedals but I wouldn't need to go crazy fast in family sedan lol. And the regenerative breaking is on EV and hybrid cars isn't it? As your coming to a stop you tap it and the more you tap it the stronger the stop. It saves you from using your breaks and puts power back in battery.
There's been a more powerful/performance oriented version of the accord in past generations. If you don't want power then just get the normal engine. But many people want more power from their "family sedan" best of both worlds. My whole point is this car doesn't deserve the sport badge. It should just be kept as the hybrid model. They should have kept the previous 2.0T engine as the sportier option.
Hi Auto brakes? It don’t work for mine. And also when cars gets near i front i see orange warning sign but i don’t hear any beeps! Warnings. How do i fix this? And anybody know how accord hybrids rpm gage works? Its jusg by 0-120? Percentage. So if i keep using 80-100% level is it same as hitting gas 6000-8000rpm? Thanks
I know they just wanted a sport trim for those who are a fan of the general 'sport' look. It doesnt always mean performance, i guess they could have called it something different tho
Yea, but typically the Sport trimmed Accord always had decent power while also looking sporty. This one is lacking compared to previous generations. And since there's no regular sport trim, it's a little disappointing that this is the most power you can get. Again, if they created a separate sport trim with more power I'd be fine with it. Overall it's a good car.
Don't like the 2024 exterior design. No chrome at all on the front. The lights seem thin. The rear is just a flat box. My 2022 Accord has an aggressive smokey chrome front, wide telescoping lights, rear not flat box. I am seeing more and more of them around my hometown. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yea, I see a lot of these now, but still not sold on the looks. Tbh I kinda like the look of the new 2024 Sonata, it's more bold and I love the rear tail lights.

This car, and the black pearl color looks really good in person. When i saw one i was surprised how much nicer it looked than in pics and vids
I'll admit it does look better in person
I own the urban grey pearl, it’s awesome I get more compliments on the color than any of my other cars
If your goal is resale power, function and reliability this car is impossible to beat for the price.
I mean it's a compelling vehicle, just wanted a version that's a little more exciting and powerful

Glad you're enjoying your new Accord! 👍
Yea only time will tell how reliable these will be with the hybrid system.
Overall it's still a great car.
I bought the white color hybrid sport 2023. I really like it
Nice 👍. It's a really great car overall. I personally just wish it had a little more power.
How was it? I just bought one
@@sajjadalawadi3852 I love it. Has plenty of power and it runs real smooth and more space than my previous 2020 camry
I believe Honda is trying to go the luxury/eco friendly route. They’ve done the sportiness for a while and with everything going electric (sadly) this is the outcome.

Yea they definitely toned down the car for this generation. It's still a good car but a little bland.
The HP is low for sure, but the torque numbers are not terrible, and HP sells, but torque is what you drive
Not enough torque, previous 2 Sport gens had faster 0-60. In city traffic sure, it'll feel quicker. But you can tell that speed is not what Honda was going for with this car.

they should bring back automatic transmission and throw away cvt!
This ecvt acts like a true automatic.
Its not a cvt even though they call it that
@@mileshodge3477 wiki : CVT (1.5 L) & e-CVT (hybrid). hybrid is different but too pricey. basic cvt is unacceptable.
@mc_sim not a cvt. Definitely dont on wiki. Go watch a breakdown from mechanics on this engine. Check out the car care nut. They only call it a ecvt because its be closest thing to a name they got for that engine lol but it has no pulleys, belts, alternator or starter and only 5 clutches. Doesn't even operate like a cvt.
Automatic transmission? That ship has sailed pretty much. Mazda still has an automatic transmission--for the time being.

Thank you for this review. What is your assessment of the black color on the car?
I like the color, but just like with any black car, it's more of a hassle to keep clean and easier to notice swirl marks from washing it.
I do like the interior of the new accord. Yea I agree, the powertrain, they could at least offer the 2.0T as option like what the previous gen did to as they offered three powertrains. Hyundai still offering the 2.5T on there sonata for there refereshed year and Honda could at least tried to offer the engine for one more gen. I could had seen Honda could offered some things like an AWD system and a panoramic which they still lacking on. I have the 10th gen 2.0t Sport and I do like the wheels on the sport and this new gen sport wheels as well.
Yea, I think they're pushing people to switch to Acura if they want more power or features.

I agree, that would have been a better decision.
Bring back the 2.0t or you could go 2024 tlx tech , has the same 10speed and 2.0t
Yea pretty much. If you want a more aggressive look and more power you have to go for the Acura version.
Thanks for this video. You just sold me even more on this care even though I agree with your dislikes.
Glad I could help lol. Like I said at the end, it's a really good car overall just wish it had more power and looked a little more aggressive.
This is a family sedan. Why would it need more power? I never got that argument. Does have sports wheels and pedals but I wouldn't need to go crazy fast in family sedan lol.

Did you know up to 62 mph the engine doesn't even drive the wheels...at all! All the shifting is fake to make you "think" its doing something
So the the batteries drive the car up to 62mph? Hmm
Why does it say 497 range but it’s not all the way up on the screen?
After filling up the gas thank I had driven like 40miles. So. I didn't have "max" range
You were brutally honest 😂
I mean it's not a bad car, but definitely doesn't deserve the sport badge.
They need to fix the look of the car. Crazy part is,,, one of my family members just got one. Lol
Yea, it's too bland.
@@alexs_wrex exactly. The civic looks better now.

No. They should bring back the VTEC V6.
If only
The 19 inch rim is overkill.
A little bit lol. They're a little too sporty compared to the rest of the body.
@@alexs_wrex 40 series tire should not be on a family sedan. It's not ideal for a daily driver.
Why you buy the car?
I didn't, I was driving it around for a week.
A consummate rental fleet car
I mean as a rental it's not bad at all.
Civic body looks better than the Accord now
Absolutely
I don’t like the engine at all we need something fast and powerful like the 2.0T with a better throttle not a boring hybrid 🤦🏻♂️
I agree, this version of the car can stay but have a real performance oriented version too.
there is a turbo 4 the 1.5t XD
We don't talk about that engine lol. Yes it is a turbo 4 but nowhere near as potent as the previous 2.0T
They wont bring it back because they’re going hybrid.
Yea unfortunately
We need back the 2.0 t
Yup I agree
