I've had my Accord Touring EV for about a month and enjoy it very much. The video was spot on. The one (kind of) glaring shortcoming is that the front passenger seat is set too low and has no vertical adjustment capability, something that should not be missing in this top-of-the-line model. Others have noticed the lack of steering wheel heating capability, but that's not a major deal here in NC, though it could be argued that it should be included in Honda's top model. A great analysis. Thanks.
I enjoyed your presentation very much! You very clearly showed some functions of the Accord that others failed to. I'm glad to have come across this channel. You bet I subscribed right away!
My wife and I have owned Honda’s and Toyota’s for over 40 years. Big difference in taking sharp corners. Honda puts center of gravity in the front seats. Not nearly as much sway as Toyota where you tend to get thrown side to side. My 2 cents. Just bought the 23 EX-L and absolutely love it.
Thanks for making this video! I felt a noticeable difference between the 17 and 19 inch wheels. The EX-L was a smoother ride; didn’t feel every bump. The roads I drove over were a little rough.
I agree. Those 19 inch low 40 profile tires make for a rough ride and are a real deal breaker for me. It's like running on the metal rims. Also the car is far too low and is a real bitch to get into and out.
I watched many videos on this car as I’m looking to purchasing it. However your video was the most detailed video, probably the most detailed car review channel. You got a sub
Another great review by you Robin. How do you compare the ride comfort, interior road and cabin noise, and handling, between this new Accord and the Subaru Outback Wilderness Which of these cars would you most recommend? Could you fit a full size mountain (fat) bike in the back of the Accord?
Thank you very much! Interesting comparison. The Accord wins hands down with handling, it's lower to the ground, tuned solely for road driving and tuned quite well. Road and cabin noise is slightly better in the Accord as well, but the two are much closer in that category. And the Subaru has the Accord beat for ride. You get more tire sidewall, suspension travel, and an off-road friendly suspension to boot. Also, the Outback will much more easily swallow a mountain bike. I'm not sure if one would fit in the Accord, but, if it does, I'm confident if would be a tight fit.
Hey Robin - great review. Like you passion for a car vs SUV. What info is included in the HUD? I know all the basics...(current speed, posted speed limit, nav info, etc..) - but does it include incoming caller info? Any Music selection info? Trying to get a handle on the gap between the Honday HUD and say a 2018 (last gen) bmw system as I know the new BMW are very involved.
This is a very elegant car, but many people are unable to appreciate simplicity. It’s not a car for me for various practical reasons, but I certainly do not want leather seats or sunroofs which many people apparently demand.
That's all fair, but keep in mind Honda put me in the top trim. The Accord LX is more modestly appointed and much less expensive as well. LX trims do not have a moonroof or leather seats, for example.
@@viewsonvehicles Although I have a Civic and I love that car to bits, if I were getting one of these Accords, the Sport Hybrid would be the sweet spot for me. I prefer the lack of chrome finish on the exterior, the size of the wheels, the colour of the wheels and the lack of gloss black on the interior.
Thank you so much! Personally? I tend to like less flashy colors Meteorite Grey Metallic is probably my first choice. And, yes, I'd choose hybrid. More torque and better fuel economy.
This was a great review and I agree this accord is better looking than the last. Im currently trying to decide between this accord touring or the Toyota Camry xle hybrid.. interior/ exterior aside, how would you compare handling and cabin noise between the two?
Thanks for the great review, I enjoyed it. I am confused between the two colors (Canyon River Blue - Lunar Silver). Which one looks better on the Honda Accord Hybrid?
I want to thank you for this review and especially for explaining the decel paddels. I'm new to hybrids and especially regenerative braking and some videos out there had me thinking that I was braking the car directly with the paddles which sounded pretty dangerous if you don't know the car.
@@viewsonvehiclescan you use the Regen breaks all the time? I’m a highway driver and wonder if it’s better to use the regen breaks all the time or just the standard breaks. Your thoughts.
Great review, ca we get a accord or civic not only without the turbo but also a non hybrid? A Honda technician i talked to told me the turbo engine are not good and have head gaskets blown up issues. That's why I'd like to ask again can we get a non turbo non hybrid engine on accord or civic on the newer models let's say fron 2021 to present? Thank you.
Awesome review, first time finding the channel and I liked/subscribed! The only review I saw go through the regen breaking paddles - cool! I’m definitely picking up a Touring
This is a really in depth review and I enjoyed it. No one really got into the ev braking system like you did. No one has said what a larger Accord feels like to daily drive in terms of fitting into tight parking spots or anything like that either. What was your experience with that like?
That you very much! No chance to test tight parking space fitting ease, unfortunately. But, the wheelbase is the same. And while the rear track is a touch wider, turning radius is still going to be very close to a 10th generation Accord. So similar performance in that regard. Just need to mind the additional 2.7-inches of length.
Thanks for the detailed review. Seems like there was a lot of road noise while you were on the highway... would you describe it as manageable or a deal breaker? Subscribed by the way...
Yeah. Road noise is probably exacerbated by the trend to have wider and wider rims on cars that are supposed to be comfortable cruisers… people think 19” wheels are “sporty” and so that’s what they sell us… more rubber please😊
You're welcome! Yes, road noise was loud on that road, but it was a rough aggregate surface. On other surfaces, it quieted way down and delivered above average cabin noise isolation.
@@dennisjones8906 Depends on your priorities. This Accord is quieter, rides well, handles well and achieves tremendous fuel economy. As a family sedan for a non-enthusiast, it's a big improvement. But for pure driving fun, I still prefer the 10th gen with the 2.0T. By the way, if you're curious: th-cam.com/video/KYpmHuN-yJE/w-d-xo.html
It's like they just copied pieces of this car from every car around. Looks like ChatGPT generated the car. Audi's A7 rear lights, Ford's front, 2016 Nissan altima's rear doors, etc. I don't even mind all those. My gripe is that it's underpowered
Which one? The 1.5-liter does have a CVT yes. But it's 192 horsepower. The Hybrid does not have a transmission at all, just clutch packs to connect and disconnect different power sources from the wheels. And correct, most the time its running purely from the drive electric motor, which peaks at 181 horsepower. But when the engine is engaged with the wheels, it can contribute a little more to give the 204 horsepower total.
@@JitinMisra I HAVE A 2006 V6 BUICK LACROSSE AND ITS RATED AT 200 HORSEPOWER.THE 2023 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IS BETTER AND FASTER.YOU HAVE TO GO TEST DRIVE ONE YOURSELF.
But that 2.0 L turbo and 10 speed automatic were an awesome pair. I had one and it would shock most people who rode with me in it. Honda has done a disservice, in my opinion, to the Accord and Honda fans in general.
I think the 10th gen looks much better and has front air vents right beside the nice fog lights. the 10th gen also has nice side mirror turn signals and beautiful rims. No one likes piano black and the 11th gen is filled with it! I thought Honda finally got then and done away with glossy black interior parts in the 10th gen. Why honda decided to bring back the piano black is beyond me. 2:34 The front of the new accord looks like a older gen Volkswagen. the 2.0T engine with the 10speed is an awesome powertrain. I would much rather have a new 10th gen. Honestly do these review guys have to say all positive shit about everything?! 3:55 The side view of the new 11th gen looks like a 9th gen to me. I do love the new rear lights,full digital gauge cluster, all the usb c plugs and the new seats.
Real world fuel economy depends heavily on weather conditions, elevation, and certainly driving style. But this new Accord is slightly larger and I believe a touch heavier too. If your comparing 1.5-liter to 1.5-liter, this one will likely be just a smidge worse for F/E.
Just needs a minor refresh to the front end. Great interior, tech, power, fuel efficiency, and practicality. Hondas paint quality is most likely still bad.
I'm glad you liked my review. Thank you. What disappointed you? I do wish more power was available. I spelled that out a bit more in my article about the Accord. It's right here if you're curious: gearjunkie.com/motors/2023-honda-accord-review
My honest opinion It’s disappointing by looks okay. I agree with people on that but the quality Is good for family travel and business trips. A other thing the 10 generation was all sporty looking on all trims that what’s make the 11 generation so boring by looks.
This Accord has some good and some bad.. The Accord's roofline is way too low. That is why there is now headroom.. and visibility is probably very bad when looking out. They need to raise the roofline about 3" or 4" inches.. and please don't buy the 19 inch wheels .. they will give you a bad ride.. The 17" wheels would give a better ride. Better than that .. do like Toyota did with the Corolla - they came out with a Corolla crossover.. maybe Honda should come out with a Honda Accord SUV.. Yup ... An Accord SUV would be better and sell much better..
Howling-I thought the same as you regarding the 19" wheels and tires. I have logged many miles in 3 different Accord with same set up (years 2019-2022). Terrible ride and road noise. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the new Touring model. I bought one. What an improvement in ride quality and cabin noise. You should drive one for yourself. You may then be enlightened.
@@stevehoppenjan .. Thanks for the tip on the Touring model. And the Touring Accord model has 19" wheels? If so, looks like Honda may have really tried to improved the suspension to give a descent ride on 19" wheels.. I know that some of the best suspensions in the world are "air" suspensions.. Simply put - "air" is a great suspension. So the more air you have in the tires the better the ride. I think simply going with higher profile 17" wheels - instead of the low profile 19" should really improve ride quality.. Since you can have more air volume to ride on with the 17" wheels.. Even if the Touring model rides good on 19" wheels, it should ride much better on 17" wheels.
@@howlingwolf125y Yes. 19". I agree that 17 inch, assuming larger cross section tires would make it even better. For some reason, automakers believe the majority of us prefer slightly better handling over a comfortable ride. Geez, maybe I am getting old.
@@stevehoppenjan I agree with you Steve.. Maybe I am getting old too.. It seems like people or the auto companies want bigger and bigger wheels .. I guess bigger wheels are supposed to look better?? Personally, I think smaller wheels look just fine - in fact I think smaller wheels look better to me.. Plus, I don't race around much.. and the smaller wheels handle fine and give a better ride - which is what I want in a vehicle..
I disagree on the styling and on the 2.0 L turbo that has oil dilution problems. The styling in my opinion was much better on the 10th gen and I consider myself to be a major car guy. A non turbo motor is much better for longevity and no need to change your oil every 3,000 miles with a normal N/A engine. I do drive a turbo 2 L now (not an Accord) and I'm looking to get away from a turbo. For me the best of both worlds would be a 10th gen accord with the 23/24 non turbo 4.
Please stop saying the Google command. 😂 I'm making a genuine effort to get through this video (on my TV) and you keep changing my thermostat. Be aware of that. 😝
@@RLTtizME Exactly. The Accord is all wrong now. It actually looked cool a couple of generations ago, now just boring and dull. That’s fine if Honda is targeting the 80+ old folks category.

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. @9546aw
@@scott-su5es no it isn’t . majority of folk have been complaining about the exterior appearance. when the 10th gen was released, the exterior was praised over its departure from that of the 9th. This looks like a refresh of the 8th gen. Which says a lot, in a bad way. BUT I MUST SAY, in person it looks better than on video. Looks upscale. Nice in its upper trims. The ones getting one in the EX trim are bland. But even though in person it may look a bit better, it’s still a basic redesign, that needs a refresh already. So hopefully in 2025 they’ll give it a facelift. No one wants to purchase a car and not even receive a compliment on their new car. That’s nuts . only folks complimenting this are the ones that enrolled into Medicare 2024 in December. 🤣

what is 23/24 non turbo 4? 10th gen is 2018-2022
Please stop saying the Google command. 😂 I'm making a genuine effort to get through this video (on my TV) and you keep changing my thermostat. Be aware of that. 😝
Sorry! Hazard of smart speaker and voice command in cars overlapping, I suppose.
They put a lame powertrain and then put a 19 wheel on them, loud but slow, weird.
It’s Beautiful
The engine note is just horrible
Looks terrible, old and dated. 🤮
What’s wrong with Hondas design team? Geeze
El wrongo.
@@RLTtizME Exactly. The Accord is all wrong now. It actually looked cool a couple of generations ago, now just boring and dull. That’s fine if Honda is targeting the 80+ old folks category.
@@billyrock8305 Honda wants me to tell you that they are so glad you are not involved in their product planning. I think they know more about demographics than you do...although your experience as a food warmer at Waffle House is transferrable.
Illogical BLT Grandpa.
“Honda closed the 2022 year with sales of 881,201, a 33 percent decline. Their largest decline in history with Accord being the worst of all models”
Get back to bed it’s nap time old timer. 🥱
@@billyrock8305 We all love BLT's.....wash them down with a Redbull and then smoke a joint in the parking lot. Yo...mo fo....do you still work at Game Stop?
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.

Boring looking
Typical Honda noisy interior.
This exterior DOES NOT look better, grandpa !!
I'm not a grandfather yet, but I'll make sure to give my young son your words of encouragement.
This11th generation is absolutely better looking than the 10th generation.
@@scott-su5es no it isn’t . majority of folk have been complaining about the exterior appearance. when the 10th gen was released, the exterior was praised over its departure from that of the 9th.
This looks like a refresh of the 8th gen.
Which says a lot, in a bad way.
BUT I MUST SAY, in person it looks better than on video. Looks upscale. Nice in its upper trims. The ones getting one in the EX trim are bland.
But even though in person it may look a bit better, it’s still a basic redesign, that needs a refresh already. So hopefully in 2025 they’ll give it a facelift. No one wants to purchase a car and not even receive a compliment on their new car. That’s nuts .
only folks complimenting this are the ones that enrolled into Medicare 2024 in December. 🤣
2023 Honda Malibu
Engine sounded like shit
noisy engine
The motor sounds like shit
The new Honda Accord 🤮🤮🤮
It looks ugly
This dude is on dust talking about how this new Accord is nicer than the 10th gen 😂
This is not a suv
Correct. It is an SUV alternative.
I think there is a Law for Blind People
Cars have to make a certain amount of noise
For below 19 mph
Please slow down and be observant
God Bless❤
Great job Honda. Way to go BACKWARDS with this model.
