Power by Trim Level

The 2023 Honda Accord marks the launch of this model’s eleventh generation, delivering an updated driving experience. Six trims are available for this year’s Accord: the LX, EX, Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring. The first two trims come with a traditional gasoline engine, while the remaining four trims have a standard hybrid powertrain. With various drive modes and customizable settings, this hybrid vehicle offers more flexibility than ever before. Its revised design also provides additional refinement to take you further into luxury territory.

Honda has substantially improved its 2023 Accord, introducing a sleek design with a wider stance and four hybrid trims. The new Honda Accord Hybrid packs an impressive range of power and efficiency, featuring a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle engine combined with two electric motors for enhanced performance. This includes 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, with an EPA-estimated 48 MPG combined.[a] In comparison, the standard 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine achieves 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque with a fuel economy of 32 MPG combined.[a] This means choosing the hybrid will give you superior performance in all respects compared to the traditional turbocharged gasoline engine.

With this much power, the Honda Accord Hybrid is a speedster compared to hybrids of the past and has an impressive 0-60 mph time of just 6.6 seconds. Your right foot has perfect control over this power unit, and optional steering-wheel-mounted deceleration selectors let you adjust the amount of regenerative braking as you drive. This allows you to tune the driving experience how you like and take full advantage of regenerative braking to enhance the Accord Hybrid’s fuel economy.

Exterior Sleekness and Style

The 2023 Accord has a bolder, lower, and broader look that sets it apart from the last-generation model. This model features a lengthier hood next to sleeker lines for increased width and lower height. Its clean side profile combines with an eye-catching full-width LED taillight signature to give the car a confident style. The Accord’s exterior also boasts distinct details on every trim. For instance, each trim of the hybrid gets its own unique wheel option. Classic chrome details adorn the EX-L and Touring trims, while the Sport and Sport-L display a blacked-out silhouette. There is also a variety of colors to choose from, including Urban Gray Pearl, Canyon River Blue, and Meteorite Grey options for an even more striking look.

The 2023 Honda Accord boasts roomier-than-ever passenger volume, hip room, and rear legroom. Each touchpoint features premium materials while the shift knob has been canted five degrees towards the driver to allow additional convenience with front cupholders placed close by. The interior creates a tranquil abode with available leather upholstery and glossy black dashboard accents. From the comfortable seats to the unique mesh grille hiding the air vents, the materials used feel sturdy and decidedly upscale, adding an extra dimension of sophistication.

Top Tech and Infotainment Features

With its new interior, the 2023 Accord boasts some more modern features. Every trim includes a standard 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. In contrast to the LX and EX trims with their seven-inch infotainment displays, all four hybrid trims feature an impressive 12.3-inch touchscreen complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The 2023 Accord will also stay up-to-date with quick and convenient Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates, boosting performance for a seamless driving experience.

The Accord Hybrid Touring provides the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology and superior sound quality. Google Built-In is a standard feature in the top Touring trim, giving you even more ways to access your favorite apps and media.
