About the 2010 Honda Accord

8th generation North American Accord (2008-2012), third model year, one year before the 2011 exterior refresh.

Honda sells the 2010 Accord as a midsize car that blends practicality with a more engaging feel than many rivals. The brochure leans on the idea that power and efficiency can live together, while the cabin is designed around everyday usability rather than flash. What sets this Accord apart is its roomy interior, strong reputation for durability, choice of sedan or coupe body styles, and a range that runs from simple commuter trims to V6 and leather-lined versions.

The 2010 Accord ranges from the straightforward LX sedan to the sportier LX-S coupe, which has a 190-hp four-cylinder, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler. EX models add features such as a moonroof and heated mirrors, while EX-L models bring leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and upgraded audio.

What changed, by category

Powertrain

Four-cylinder models with the five-speed automatic receive slightly better EPA fuel-economy ratings. Engine and transmission choices otherwise remain the same.

Tech

Bluetooth hands-free calling becomes standard on EX-L trims instead of being limited to cars with navigation. EX and EX-L sedans also gain rear-seat ventilation ducts.
