- We like sedans, and the Accord is a good one. We'd just recommend you get a lower trim with smaller wheels to maximize your sedan experience.

One of the sedans of all time
Definitely one of many.
This is indeed an sedan.
Definitely one of the sedans of all time
I like your video approach. I own one. Couple of corrections / clarifications:
1. It does not have a CVT. Actually, it doesn't have a transmission at all. Honda calls it E-CVT.
2. You can set the regen level to remain at a certain level by pulling the left paddle until you get the level you want and hold it in. It will then regen brake at that level every time you lift the accelerator until you change it.
3. No heated wheel in US. Only Canada, eh.
4. My infotainment screen is not angled toward the passenger.
5. MPG In 1100 miles of mixed highway (70+) and city, I am averaging 43 mpg. I baby it. When the car was brand new and the weather was colder, it struggled to stay above 40. It has continued to improve. Last freeway trip of 50 miles got 44 mpg. Automakers need to understand the most hybrid buyers would prefer more sidewall on the tires and smaller wheels for improved mpg and less pothole damage!
Yeah they should offer the touring with smaller rims as an option at least
What a start to the video 😂 Charlie being stuffed into the trunk and coming out from behind the seats really cracked me up.
That was an outstanding way to transfer to the rear seat part of the video. So fluid. 😂
It looks like it was designed and built in a corporate board room. However, I'm sure it will still sell very well for Honda.
I test drove one. It felt that way.
Atkinson cycle engines leave the intake valves open for the first part of the compression stroke. This accomplishes multiple things, but the end result is a more complete fuel burn and lower compression ration for greater efficiency
Wow this is my first video here and you guys are so good! Definitely subbing!
Manneee the hating is crazy on this car😭😭 I love the interior especially with the white leather. The exterior reminds me of an audi i love it
Exactly I feel like I’m one of the few who love it
Me like too!
I love it too
I love it as well, so much I bought it last wkend. Looks nothing like a Taurus, very sleek. I miss the esthetics of fog lights but...for the total niceness that u get on this car, I am appreciating it!
didn't see the taurus front until now haha, like that google integration too, awesome review guys
I thought it look like a Passat that has a thing of being reliable unlike the VW... LOL
No one seem to mention that this is car based on 10th gen platform, same wheel base . Somehow they did manage to extend back seat area but the wheel base the same
Whose SVT Contour is that? Don't see those very often anymore.
Differences I see vs the 10th gen:
+ 3 inches longer
+USB-C vs USB-A in the 10th gen
+No more hood flutter
+Bose sound system
+Infotainment upgrade / screen size
+Full digital cluster
+Quieter interior
-Tiny volume knob
-No more physical radio controls
-No more 2.0T/10 speed (I'm keeping mine till the world burns now that it's gone)
-No more adaptive dampers
-3 inches longer (car is HUGE)
-Bose only on Touring trim
-No more Sirius XM through satellite
-Most of the tech here was already in the 10th gen (lane keep/radar cruise, blind spot, wireless android auto/Carplay, keyless entry, wireless charging, etc.) I don't see any new tech besides Google Maps and the Play Store being baked into the head unit.
As others say, it's "Corporate, the car." It is "an car." Checks off all the boxes as a good sedan for the price. I do wish they kept the 2.0T though. It makes it a fun car to drive day-to-day while not returning bad MPG (~24 city, 36 highway with my driving). The 10th gen didn't have much character but the 2.0T engine did. I don't hate the 11th gen but I don't like the direction it went in. It's no longer a car with an option for someone who wants a "sporty but practical" car. It's just for a different crowd. I could recommend it to most but only if they're not looking for something fun. For me (and other 2.0T or V6 owners), this ain't it.
I would keep your 10th gen also, especially with that 2.0T. If I ever buy an Accord, it will now be a preowned 2.0T Sport. The 11th gen doesn't even sway my eye, or wow me with the performance like the 10th gen has since 2018.
By the way, if you search you will find that this is not new gen its based on 10th gen accord, wheel base the same. And there was a guy on insta gathered all info and confirmed that its a deep facelift not next gen
@@wbwayne8887 yup, I got my Sport 2.0T new and it’s not going anywhere for at least the next 5 years. I will say though, the 8 speaker sound system BLOWS on it. They’re right in saying D Tier at the ending conversation about the trims and the Bose.
@@azizkizbayev439 yup, Honda has been saying it’s based on the 10th gen since before release. I wonder if anyone can find a way to retrofit the cluster and infotainment from the 11th gen into the 10th gen (though I doubt it).
@@Teku175
You can always change the speakers out, maybe even add an amp if you feel it's necessary.
Just got my Touring last week. Love it!
Hi, what kind of warranty for the hybrid system....and congratulations for the new car
@@amdreymi just bought a touring basic warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles. I got the upgraded warranty for $1500 which makes it's 7 years or 100,000 miles.
I didn't know what you were saying either but good to know
Good review
DM, I expect the upcoming AWD Camry Hybrid will easily beat the Accord's mpg and provide at least as much power with a 2.0 or 2.5 powertrain For cars of their size, they both offer deplorable rear seat headroom. When oh when will thwarted coupe designers cease taking out their frustrations on the back seat occupants of sedans? 🤨
I think they are trying to make sedans more sexy. You see this design with the Prius as well. Why should they design the back for 6’2” adults? It’s not a majority of people, and they usually seat at front. And this is a car for most people, the average of people.
I’m confused. When you did a full throttle acceleration the car's transmission made the motor boat sound, never shifting which sounded terrible. Then on another rapid acceleration test the sound of stepped gears could be heard. Why the difference?
Also, I went down and sat in one, and the deal breaker for me as trivial as it may sound, was that I could not put my left arm (elbow) on the window sill as almost everyone does. It was way too high and canted down to detract people from doing this I assume. Thoughts?
The difference with the engine sound on the acceleration tests was torque braking on one test, and not the other. The simulated shifts will accelerate more slowly. So if the car senses the driver is torque braking then it will suspend the simulated shifts for best performance.
The only way to buy this car is to buy it in such a dark color you can’t see the lines of the car (I.e. dark blue or black). Every other color looks like you’re driving your grandpa’s new Oldsmobile
That’s because it is grandpa’s car. Not a sporting look at all but definitely a decent vehicle for the money. At least it won’t empty your pockets on price and repairs like the popular German brands like BMW and Audi.
@@richardc6932 and gas!!!
I think it's sleek, I have Urban Grey & I think it's 🔥 I feel every one is looking to hard to dissect & put this car down, but every car design/change not gon be for everyone
Let it be lost on those who don’t get why this car is so good. The Touring is incredible value for money. Same price as a loaded Integra but it’s arguably more car. That said, I think the Sport or EX are a great value and probably what I would buy. This generation of a Accord (while losing the 2.0T and 10spd) is fantastic to just be in and enjoy. It’s comfortable, quiet, competent, and just a soothing place to be. But it doesn’t drive or feel like a barge. It’s an experience. The exterior design is more reserved and will age better. Interior is fantastically pragmatic. Honda is back on form.
Dude wayyyy bigger backseat than a 3 series. I have a 550i and it’s bigger than that too. I’m getting rid of the bmw for an accord. Finally getting over the vanity part of my life and looking forward to the practical part :)
Charlie from Daily Motor watches Charlie from Daily Motor's fuel economy videos like I do. 😂
How does this CVT feel compared to Toyota's E-CVT?
Speaking of fuel economy on the smaller wheels, any chance of testing the EX-L Hybrid on the highway efficiency test?
I've been keeping an eye out for one, but it's unlikely
Are you guys somehow related to Auto topher or winding road magazine?
I believe that the accord in Canada gets a heated steering wheel. Also, there is no Sirius/Xm radio available for the infotainment system. NOt sure why
And In Japan there's ambient lighting in the doors, across the dash, and a pano roof
Question: Are you guys sure Accord is running the actual Android Automotive OS? I have heard mix things from other reviews. Some say it’s just running regular Android like Hondas have for a while and they just added the Google Assistant and Maps app.
I'm pretty sure the Touring has Android Automotive and the mid-tier models with the same 12" screen use Honda's own system (which tbh looks the same as this screen without Google integration).
Yes this is Android Automotive 100%. Honda had officially announced the deal with this particular OS two years ago.
@@vaw2487am sure all Accords with the bigger screen use the Automotive OS. Manufacturers can choose to have or not to have Google services. Honda appears to have chosen both depending on trim levels.
Your "as tested mpg" would probably be better if you didn't floor it all the time to get to speed.
Michigan roads?
You had me at "big sausage fingers"
Congratulations on Honda making the most generic looking sedan possible. If you were playing GTAV and stole a random sedan on the street... it would look like the 2023 Honda Accord.
Unfortunately, you can only get the Android Automotive infotainment with the Touring
Chinese version is the car we wanted in America disappointed what honda delivered to US market 😢
There is no CVT its eCVT aka electric motors 8:05
Its a cvt with simulated gears basically
@@noviak4143 a E-CVT is not a CVT transmission because it does not use a belt or chain connected to a pair of variable pulleys. Instead, an eCVT uses electric motor/ generators to control the speeds of planetary gearset components. This allows the eCVT to continuously change the gear ratio, keeping the engine’s rpm in the sweet spot. Drivers of vehicles with eCVTs don’t feel the step change common to traditional automatic transmissions, yet the mechanisms (planetary gears) to achieve acceleration are largely the same.
@@robertblack6630 yeah i just realized. Pretty weird
@@robertblack6630 incorrect. This car has one gear and one clutch to engage it at over 62 mph. The rest of the time the engine spins a generator to charge a battery or doesn’t run at all, and an electric traction motor turns the wheels. The “shifting” is all simulated for the sake of people who think it should shift.
I have on 3 accords and there's no doubt that they drive well. However when I want to look at this new accord I said no thank you. The front end looks like a Ford Fusion from a few years ago... And all that gloss black exterior bottom trim and gloos black interior trim always looks cheap on any vehicle.
Excuse my typos
A car for a human.
Not CVT, its two motor generator
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord which cause me to pass on getting one at the moment: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. If a 2023or 2024 car missing all of these features is okay by you, by all means get one. Hopefully, by the time the 2025's come out these deficiencies will be resolved. By far the worst deficiency is the lack of a spare tire.
Crown xle pls
I’m looking to upgrade to this car and I’m watching them slander this one as well as my current accord coupe😭
I got over the dislike from others because in person this car is 🔥 especially the Sport which I bought...granted there are things that are not my fav, hood is long & I'm only 5'3 I put the seat up but I also drive a 2013 Sonata- true midsize sedan so the Accord dosent feel as easy to maneuver for me but the drive is magnificent, so if YOU like it, get it!
ACCORd O CAMRY cual es better? para usted xd
I wanted to know that
its still a good car but i really feel like this is a downgrade in a lot of areas from someone whos always been an Accord fan. stinks but also this is what Sedans have to be now.
Budget 5 series
8:07 Not a CVT…
Nice car but 15k overpriced. Like the video
How is this overpriced? It’s the top trim and it’s better than most entry-level luxury cars
Why would I buy the Accord when a CR-V comes with AWD, is 10 inches shorter, and has nearly three times the cargo capacity? They took away the only engine option that made it compelling to buy an Accord and so now it's just "an sedan", so for me it's a toss-up between the Civic hatch and the CR-V. Problem is the Civic is not being produced in adequate numbers...
You don't live in a cold climate, want more rear legroom, triple is a stretch, maybe double the cargo (figures aren't typically provided with the rear seats folded on a sedan). And significant fuel economy improvements on a sedan
😮 absurd this DOESN'T have a heated steering wheel
If I am spending $35k or over for a sedan, it will be a Tesla Model 3 all day! These Accords have gotten way too expensive, fully loaded it should be $29k, not $39k!! I was pricing out the cheapest civic hatchback with a manual and it’s $27k! That’s not even the turbo motor, it’s the 2.slow NA! What the heck is going on?!
When was the last rime you saw a decent sedan with options and reliability selling for $29k? Definitely not in an overpriced Tesla.
@@richardc6932even from volume dealerships with the biggest discounts, top trim accords were going for like 32-33 before Covid. They’re never gonna have a sticker of 29k loaded for the past 10+ years 😂
LOL it sounds like you stuck in 2012😂
@@jermainec2462 more like 2002
But also, why not a model y? That's where I'm at. A fully loaded Honda Accord for $39k vs a Tesla model y long range for $44k (after $7.5k tax credit)
“A middle aged golden retriever” 🤭🤭
This gen designer needs to be sued by Honda .
More like a boat
The Koenigsegg Regera has no transmission
First! I think a lot of people hate this car because Honda forced the hybrid down our throats. I guess this makes me proud to own the 2020 Accord
Shame Honda discontinued their excellent 2.0t vtec
"Forced a Hybrid down your throat"?!? You seem out of touch with modern Hybrids. It's not 1999 anymore.
Most modern hybrids have more horsepower, more torque and better gas mileage than gas-only vehicles, and are no-less convenient than gas-only vehicles as you use the same gas stations to fill them up (just less often).
Oh no, please someone spare me from having a faster, more powerful, more efficient and cost-saving vehicle from being in my driveway!
You need to educate yourself on modern vehicles or just not make the car buying decisions in your family.
@Wolfshanze modern hybrids are reliable too, a dude on the Toyota subreddit put 300k on a 2020 rav4 hybrid 🤯
@@wolfshanze5980 Removed the fun option (2.0T) would have been a better way of saying it. 95% will be fine with the hybrid and that's why Honda went with it. In this case the hybrid does not match your ideal delusions of "more power/faster". Though hybrids have come a long ways.
@@ericharrison619 Lol... "Ideal delusions"... cute, but not true... you have "ideal delusions" if you think because it's a hybrid, it can't be fast, powerful or fun.
For instance, take the current Hyundai Tucson... it comes with three drive trains:
1) ICE: 2.5 L NA, 187hp, 178lb torque, 25mpg
2) Hybrid: 1.6L Turbo + Elec, 226hp, 258lb torque, 37mpg
3) PHEV: 1.6L Turbo + Elec, 261hp, 258lb torque. 80mpg
Notice the gas-only version is the weakest in HP, Torque and MPG... it all depends how a manufacturer makes a vehicle, in the Hyundai Tucson, the gas-only option finishes DEAD LAST IN EVERY CATEGORY (including fun). I suppose if you put away your ideal delusions, you'll realize Hybrids are better options than Gas Only in 2023... the world has evolved, time for you to catch up.
Quite frustrating that China gets a much better version of this.
They deserve it I guess
Seems fair to me. They provide vehicles based off whose buying what. There's a bunch of stuff they get and we don't and vice versa
@@MONTOD you're saying Americans don't want a panoramic roof? And ambient lights in our cabins. I find it hard to believe. These manufacturers just do what they want and we blindly accept it all with our dollars
@@lionintu I'm saying the Americans that they surveyed (all manufacturers send surveys to current owners (but not every current owner receives/responds)) didn't find those features useful
@@MONTOD ohhhh I see. Im in America and I own a Honda for 8 years. I never received this survey. How exactly does one go about seeing the results of this survey? What years was this survey sent out?
The most uninspiring Accord ever made. Issa Honda Taurus!!
It is not a CVT transmission because it does not use a belt or chain connected to a pair of variable pulleys. Instead, an eCVT uses electric motor/ generators to control the speeds of planetary gearset components. This allows the eCVT to continuously change the gear ratio, keeping the engine’s rpm in the sweet spot. Drivers of vehicles with eCVTs don’t feel the step change common to traditional automatic transmissions, yet the mechanisms (planetary gears) to achieve acceleration are largely the same. Its closer to standard automatic then a CVT.
With Honda's eCVT there is actually no planetary gearset or "power split device". For most driving, the car drives the wheels purly with the electric motor and the ICE just spins the generator motor. Once the car gets up to highway speeds, the ICE can directly clutch to the wheels. Search for the Honda e-drive video by WeberAuto, John has a wonderful breakdown of it.
Drew is correct. There are no ratios being changed. It’s all simulated.
Hello!!! DM new vehicle a house apartment😊👍stream 2023 Honda Altrantris RS sport 1.8 i-vtec DOHC turbo? All too😅haha trunk small❤🤗❤!
Horrible all around. Gives space for other vehicles at least to take over.
It looks good but that's about it
If you can’t afford a Lexus ES300 then maybe look at the Honda. You will be happy with a Toyota, a Lexus or a Honda for reliability and they won’t empty your pockets on repairs like BMW and Audi. This Honda isn’t in the same category or level of Luxury as the Lexus. Not too liking the daisy pattern rims nor the flat rear end. Surprised you didn’t do a complete review of under the hood like others will do.
Dumb, longer but not much rear headroom.
This is horrible.. wasting time the first 5 minutes.. I’m out✌🏻
Cya 🖐️
This new design is better than the previous one👍
Surprised Charlie didn’t mention trump when he was playing with the volume knob 🤌
