“Extremely comfortable ride, handling performance is excellent for a vehicle of this size, engine is bit sluggish and cargo capacity is limited by rear shock towers.”
2014 Honda Accord: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for 2014 is the return of the regular Accord Hybrid, which brings a high-mpg option to the core lineup. Otherwise, this is a light-update year for the recently redesigned Accord.
About the 2014 Honda Accord
9th generation Accord (2013-2017), second model year for the redesigned sedan/coupe range and the year the regular Accord Hybrid joins the lineup.
Honda positioned the Accord as a roomy midsize car that blends everyday comfort, strong fuel economy, and a more polished feel than many mainstream rivals. In 2014, that identity stretches from practical gasoline sedan and coupe models to new hybrid versions, but the core appeal stays the same: easy-to-live-with packaging, a comfortable cabin, useful technology, and a broad trim range that can serve commuters, families, and buyers who want a little more style or luxury without moving into a luxury brand.
LX anchors the sedan range with dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch display, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera. Sport has a 189-hp four-cylinder, 18-inch wheels, and a rear spoiler, while EX-L adds leather, heated front seats, and driver-warning features. Touring sits at the top with LED headlights, navigation, and adaptive cruise control, and the Hybrid lineup emphasizes fuel economy with a 50/45/47 mpg EPA rating.

Tech
The touchscreen becomes standard on EX-L rather than optional.

2014 Honda Accord Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2014 Honda Accord.
4.1
2014 Honda Accord
(106 reviews)
“Rear and side camera placement results in mud dirt road salt splatter coating the camera lens. Making them useless in winter in northern states.”
“My only complaint is with the trunk lid spring. It is not as strong as on my previous car (Camry), and it took a while to stop slamming it down. It sounds a bit tinny. Everything else about the car is perfect.”
