I got up this morning thinking I did not care for the new Accord. I'm going to bed tonight wanting one. These guys could sell tulips to the Dutch.

This is the most beautiful accord design I have seen in a while actually.

I don’t care what anyone else on the planet says, the new generation Accord is aesthetically pleasing inside and out. I abhorred the looks of the prior gen except for the Sport trim - and even then, it pales in comparison now. I literally said to myself days ago that a vehicle looks good when all its trims look great, and every trim I’ve seen from base on up looks good on this current model; it’s “mature” and the “fastback” design has now been executed perfectly. I actually, for the first time, like the looks of every Honda model, except the Ridgeline. 🥴 The only thing lacking I believe is the output, but otherwise, it’s a homerun.

I think the new Accord Hybrid will be my next purchase! Waiting for interest rates to drop to reasonable levels! 👍

I had a new Accord hybrid as a rental for my week out at Monterey car week in August. I was shocked to find it in the rental fleet with only 150 miles on it, but one rarely gets good surprises from rental companies anymore. Mine was a Sport hybrid, so basically had everything your test car has except for leather and the Google system. It was so good that I went onto the web the first night to price one out. I think it came to about $32k. The cloth seats were quite nice, actually. Anyway, Tommy experience mirrored your review. The car far exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t driving slowly and encountered a ton of traffic but averaged 46 mpg for the week and one day saw over 50 mpg during my freeway slog. Impressive. If they made a wagon version or 5-door hatch, I would have bought one immediately. Alas, I can dream.

One of the best if not the best Hybrid systems out. Engine noise? What noise, this car is silent and when pressed it makes imo a sporty tune. I actually thinks it's a fun to drive car. The updated body structure provides one of the safest vehicles out and for the low 30's to just under 40k for the hybrid variants its an exceptional car.

Just found you guys. Very well done. You are definitely on top of your game when it comes to researching this vehicle. Better than most reviewers. Just one possible correction regarding the regenerative braking paddles. If you pull the left one until you reach your desired level of regen and hold it, it will default back to that every time you take your foot off the accelerator. I think you suggested that you pull it twice to set it to do this. I own the '23 Touring and can confirm that the mpg numbers are legit. After nearly 4000 miles in mixed driving, we are averaging 46.4 mpg in Eco driving mode and a lot of regen braking! Wisconsin winters and driving above 75 mph will cut that number closer to 40.

Once we drove it I was hooked. It’s is calming and nice. It looks better in person.

I love how articulate and no nonsense you two are 👍👏❤️

I am like Paul. I love the most recent refresh of the whole Honda line up (except for their new Prologue). This new Accord visually reminds me of the 1993 Accord, which was the best looking one IMO. I just wish they'd make a 2 door model, like the '93 SE coupe my dad had when i was in college.

Hi, from Japan!! I’m glad Paul could meet an old friend for the first time in a long time. We have many new friends and old friends in the car world. Human and car can be friends!!

If you asked me if I would own a honda 10 years ago, I would have told you that you're crazy. I bought a 2023 accord touring hybrid last August, it's a great car.

I love my 2023 accord hybrid sport. Perfect family sedan and commuter car.

watching my first review from you two... wow, you're so good. Know your stuff and very entertaining... oh, and you sold me on this car. Thanks and subbed.

What a great video review! I have this 2023 Accord Hybrid touring and I absolutely love this car. I agree with everything you guys said in this video. I couldnt be happier with this Accord, I call it the perfect everyday car. Great job Honda 👏🏻

Great review! Finally Honda is designing less angry looking and more smooth more rounded body surfaces styling! I like the rear styling of the body. Btw i owned a 1990 accord for 20 years and it was still going strong with 340k miles when I donated it to a non profit organization.

Don't take this the wrong way... Watching you guys is like reading a good book on whatever you're reviewing.

Every time I see piano black trim in a car, I want to take a fine sandpaper and sand it down to a matte finish. As for the exterior styling, the front end looks slightly unfinished to my eye. The relationship between the headlights, grille, and leading edge of the hood looks a bit slapdash. Maybe they can fix it with the mid-cycle refresh. But overall, I think this is my favorite midsize sedan on the market right now.

I just subscribed to y’all. Love yalls reviews. I got my base 2023 Honda Accord LX about 4 months ago. I’m definitely in the Honda line. For being a base model, I get a good amount of tech. Was actually shocked at how much tech comes with it. It’s deceptively fast too.

Compelling choice for most families. Well done Honda.

Great video, guys!

Hybrid performance aside, this is most exciting review of a very average looking, and very average driving car. Also, I'm getting tired of people thinking that a near $40K car is considered a good deal. That is well outside of most people's budget for any car. Overnight, $40K is just a-okay as an average car price. Big corp has done our thinking dirty, post-pandemic.

Great video! 😎

I have a like-history with the brand and agree with every single word - Honda is back! Rejoice! Problem is, today I'm in a Subaru Outback Wilderness off-road phase of my life. But when I come off the trail for good, it's either this or a Lexus ES hybrid F-sport.

Entertaining! Thanks.

Ok two things …agree with another commenter..never liked the 2024 ..however..after watching a few videos yea I’m coming around I like it A LOT I have the 2022 sport se but I want this car!!! Only problem is I happen to see a concept car of the 2025 Honda accord and have decided THAT’s the one I want OMG its gorgeous GORGEOUS and yes its a little more but if its anything like the concept car of the 2025 version WOW!!! Sorry to get into the next version but I do love the 2024 as well but I’d have to get the touring trim ..second point..are you brothers? You kinda look and sound alike . Maybe it’s from years of working together but you seem like brothers. Thanks for the video can’t wait for your 2025 accord video

I had a 1976 Accord hatchback, loved it, eventually traded it in for a Datsun 810 4 door, very cool 240Z 6 cyl engine, loved it too, until I saw a 1979 Saab EMS hatchback. Now on my 5th Saab, a 2004 9-5 wagon that I bought in 2008. If hondas new accord offered a wagon I would be very interested

The main reason why you can hear the engine sound more when the guys are accelerating is because they were on sport mode. In this mode there is “pumped in” or “fake” engine audio when you accelerate just to make the car seem more sporty. In the other modes the engine is very quiet and unnoticeable. Mind you, in sport mode the acceleration does feel slightly more peppy and the steering wheel does get stiffer. So driving in sport mode is the most fun or as fun as you can get with a hybrid family sedan lol. No knock to the csr though, because this is an excellent vehicle.

You’re under 40k loaded until you go to the dealer and they have a markup cause it’s a redesign and a hybrid and manufacturers are still on that chip shortage/supply chain issue bandwagon 🙄🙄

This is a very complete and worthwhile $39k car. It doesn't have some of the "I wish it had" of the Honda Pilot. I have a 2020 Accord LX and I love the car. So spacious and quite comfy with great MPG. So many standard features for $25k. I would not hesitate to get this again if I wasn't looking for a big SUV for my next vehicle. I will miss the amazing MPG these Accords are getting across the board, especially this hybrid.

I laughed at the conclusion: Guess I'm buying an Accord now". 😂 But you guys are right: it's that good. Thank you for another awesome video of my favorite car (2nd fave, your guys' review of the Volvo S60 Recharge T8, an excellent, memorable video)❤

Great review. Love the enthusiasm for the Accord. What's a better vehicle overall - the new Accord or CR-V? You get more cargo space with the CR-V, but the screen and interface seems nicer on the Accord, especially with a HUD.

Edit: The 2015 & 2016 Accord exterior WAS very stylistic Standout imo

Hi. Two questions of things that weren’t mentioned. 1)For the regen braking, does the setting from the paddle stay at the level it was set after the car is shut off? 2) Can you rate the sound system that comes in the Touring model. Thanks!

Classic Honda!

Nice video just bought one today. Sport model. Is that a Pepsi submariner or a Tudor Pepsi? Nice watch either way.

In Europe this hybrid drivetrain comes in the Civic. I wish they did that here, 200hp and all that torque. It makes for a very quick and fuel-efficient car. I wish Honda would bring it here to the states, it would definitely take some Prius sales.

I have always been a fan of Honda and their upper level Acura vehicles and your description of this car seems reminiscent of their history of building good handling vehicles. I much prefer the interior, ride and plushness of their chief competitor, the Toyota Camry. I am not a fan of the 'chicken wire' dash in the Accord and wish they'd reconsider that. However, they are both very good sedans and its just a matter of taste. If you are in the market for this type of sedan you should also test drive the Camry as well.

Welcome back Honda

Approved

I would like the exterior design and 2.0 Sport engine of the previous gen with the interior and driving dynamics of this new gen. Is there a box I can check on the sell sheet for that combo?

My buddy took me to lunch in his Corolla Hybrid. Within a week i had my accord hybrid [i required a bigger vehicle due to a family and the Camey doesnt have the Accord looks] i average around 45 mpg per fuel tank with about half and half city/highway. I spend $25-$27 every 3 weeks in fuel. C'mon. Also, the trim I have is the Ex-l which has smaller wheels than the 19" sport giving me an edge to beat those mpg ratings.

Does the grate come off so you can clean the a/c vents?

I want that car. In touring trim! But I wanna see what the new Camry has to offer first. What if it’s bad ass! 😊lol.

No this is not a series hybrid. Honda's own press release says that it can only use the electric motor OR the engine, and not both.

Really curious how the accord hybrid compares to the hybrid camry, according to you guys

Great car, too much car for what I need. Hey Honda, when are we getting the new Civic Hybrid....

I like what you conveyed, but do not like having the camera focus on you. Would be better if focused on the car and the car in relation to the road.

AWD will make it perfect. Ohh and premium Summer Tires

Can the ICE and the electric motor both drive the car at the same time? So both contribute to HP.

All EVs should do the custom regen settings! Will hugely improve driving experience. Also why is there no AWD in the Accord?!

I am trying to decide between the EXL and the touring to see if the extras for the touring are worth the money and the lower gas mileage

Hey guys, just found this video and checked out your channel. 👍. I've been a Honda guy since high-school.. but recently been very dissapointed with Honda adding the CVT into almost every model, and doing away with the V6 and the 2.0T . But after this review.. I may consider them again. I own a 2014 Accord V6, my favorite car, and lease a 2022 Accord Hybrid, which has got to be the Worst decision I've ever made. When the lease is up I may look into this new version..

Just for giggles. Used BMW i4 eDrive 35/40 OOOOOR, new Hybrid Accord? I can charge at home today, I've owned multiple Accords and BMW's, and I say that only to say I KNOW that I'll enjoy either as a daily driver. The thing is, $42k for the loaded Honda is almost too close to what I could pay for a very low mileage i4. Thoughts?

Been a fan/subscriber for years, and now, seeking a favor from the fanbase (or if Paul/Todd happen to weigh in. )Looking for some judgement free ideas here. Presently own a '17 BRZ Limited with Performance pack and MT. I'm "retirement age", and with all the massive trucks and cars on the road, we have some reservations about being out and about in something this small. (We also have a SUV, so this isn't the only car) That said, I love the way it drives, and the high level of driver engagement. I"m even working on rev matched downshifts. So, IF you were looking for something a little bigger, yet maintaining some level of driving engagement, what are suggestions? Need it to be reliable, perhaps under 50k new, it doesn't have to be any faster than my gen BRZ, but still want some engagement. MAYBE a good AT (so wife can drive) would be considered. I'm kind of stuck at BMW 2-series as a possibility. Not ready to crawl in bed with Korea for a long--term relationship yet, otherwise I'd be looking towards the Elantra N. (Consumer Reports shows frowny faces for the Elantra line, and maybe a bit too "boy racer"). If I could actually FIND a Civic Type R not marked up to the sky, that might be okay, but I'm not paying 10K over MSRP. Thanks in advance for any brainstorming type input. Fortunately, not pressed for time on this.

Does the center console contact right knee. Last gen felt like knee rested on sharp edge.

All EVs should do the custom regen settings)

Seats are sitting too low

I'm so glad they made the regen setting stick. Precious gen reset regen setting after getting back on the throttle. Annoying.

FYI camry has been doing 50mpg on its hybrids for 6 years now................nothing new from honda here. So has the avalon hybrid.

Piano Black?, obviously, the car designers are not clean freaks. Shiny black shows every speck of lint and dust…makes me crazy

Unfortunately the new Accord does not have Satellite radio nor is it an option. Not sure why Honda got rid of HD radio but some people will only listen to XM radio. I know there is a conversion kit that will turn the current radio into XM

Funny enough, there are rumors floating around that the Accord will go the way of a Crossover/CUV in 2028. Great review!

That volume knob should be a tad smaller (*sarcasm*)

What spec sheet are you reading? The Honda Civic does not have more room than the TLX.

I have owned several Accords and they are great cars. The problem with the hybrid is that for some reason, Honda thinks it doesn't need a spare tire and that makes it s "no sale" for me. If these guys had cut a tire while on this expressway they would be waiting for a tow truck because that Mickey Mouse tire repair Kit is useless. They did the same thing for the CR V hybrid. Why are they trying to save a few bucks and in the process ruin otherwise great vehicles?

sad that we can't have it in the E.U 😒😒

No Sirius XM - why?

11th gen Accord isn’t ugly but definitely doesn’t look like an Audi. Reminds me of when the 9th gen Civic debuted in 2011. Yes it was the new model but disappointing with plenty of cost cutting compared to the previous generation. Plus, the interior looks like every other Honda model. Not to mention the Civic comes with fog lights unlike the Accord on any trims. 40k plus dealerships marking them up just puts the cherry on top.

This class of car is just getting too big on the outside. I have a 2 ft shelf in my garage and wouldn't be able to fit this in there with it. Along those lines, I think all these new gen Honda's are too long from the A-pillar fwd. They just don't look right, the proportions are off. I'm assuming it's so they can fit the ICE and battery "stuff" together, but they all look too lanky, if that's a term I can use with cars/SUV's.

Do you agree that they should’ve given the CRV the same tech in the Accord? That’s the main reason why I won’t buy one.

Still Waiting for a AWD

Guys, I'm usually fully synced up with at least 1 of you (often both), but I think Honda has dropped the ball on the styling of the new Accord. It's an expressionless emoji. 😑 It's a parallel line party. (Like Paul, I owned a '92 EX coupe manual and now a '17 V6 Touring (with the missing volume knob, but what a sweet engine, the 3.5 liter)). Honda did a solid job with the new Civic styling over the previous gen, at every trim level, but sadly, not here.

So is this a 2024 or a 2023 model????

The problems I find with the 2023-2024 Honda Accord Hybrid: 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 vehicles sold in the USA (Available in Canada, If you can do it in Canada why not the US) . 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 deficiencies will be resolved. The absolute unforgiveable deficiency is NO SPARE Tire.

Hey guys, thanks for the review of the new Olds Delta 88. I really love its looks. (I actually do). My recommendation for a Honda manual would be the Civic Touring Hatchback manual, for everyday use. I think the Si is gonna be a bit stiff, since they got rid of the adaptive dampers, and its suspension is tuned more for "sporty" driving.

Why is the engine so noisy/buzzy on acceleration?

AWD?

But the Camry all wheel drive is not a hybrid so you should be ruining that out versus this Honda Accord

RAV4 xse hybrid has better gas mileage, better in inclement weather, better looking, more space.

I definitely have doubts a WRX had difficulty keeping up with this.

The road noise seems unacceptable in the video especially for the Touring. Was it loud as it seemed?

The design does nothing for me

Came into this video having test driven the Integra ASpec manual and falling in love, but now I want to go test drive the Accord Sport Hybrid. I could get the Touring model for the same price as the Integra!

What I hate about this generation honda accord is the base hybrid sport trim...has removed SO MUCH OPTIONS. 4 speakers! No options! Manual seats??? Its insane. They want 33 thousand and it has nearly NOTHING compared to even a 28k civic.

Fully loaded without sirius radio or heated steering. Unacceptable. Stop saying its loaded out. Cmon guys

More ford Taurus. It’s nothing like a Audi

Paid promotions mean skewed reviews

I really dislike the front end. It's too high up. That "upper bumper" ruins it. Other manufacturers don't seem to be doing thus but they must still be meeting pedestrian requirements. There's something that reminds me of the Lincoln MkZ in the profile of the car. I just don't like the styling.

Other car viewers have been saying the Honda Accord hybrid gets in the mid 35 mpg range. I guess it all depends on how you drive the car.

Accords always punched above their weight. My only wish is AWD. Accords are not suitable for Canada and Upper States. Id they can add AWD then this will be the King of the hill. Oh and nutmeg Brown leather. Mmmmmwah 😇👍🏼🚗

Not digging the way the new generation look

Funny and exciting review. What I’m hearing is that you are scrapping the Prius yearlong series in favor of the Accord series. Good to know. Sedans are back.

It probably looks better in person but on here it looks kind of boring.

Glad Honda got rid of the spare tire keeping the vehicle light, extra space, and gained a few mpgs.

R u related?

Meh, will never forgive Honda for dropping the 2.0 turbo and 10 automatic. I do like the exterior and interior. But not at the cost of performance. Someone at Honda was like, "Let's make every new generation of vehicles slower than the last gen 😅

I find the exterior styling of this generation accord very unattractive. The new styling applies well to every other model in the line up but the accord just looks weird for some reason.

I’m in the market for a new sedan and I’m pinning this against the 2025 Camry and even though we don’t know what the new Camry will be, I’m sorta feeling like they will flop it and this will be superior.

No one ever mentions battery maintenance at all, effect of cold or hot temps on the battery, keeping the battery filter clean etc etc Its, get in the car and drive which couldn’t be further from the truth
