About the 2015 Honda Accord

9th generation (2013-2017), pre-refresh year just before the 2016 styling and tech update.

Honda positioned the 2015 Accord as a roomy, efficient midsize car that blends everyday comfort with a more engaging driving feel than many family-sedan rivals. Across sedan, coupe, and hybrid forms, the Accord’s core appeal is simple: strong fuel economy, a spacious cabin, easy-to-use controls, and a reputation for long-term dependability. The coupe adds style, the Sport trim adds a sharper look, and the Hybrid adds standout mileage without giving up the basic usefulness that makes the Accord such a mainstream pick.

The lineup ranges from the straightforward LX sedan and style-focused LX-S coupe to the sharper-looking Sport sedan, comfort-focused EX-L, and feature-rich Touring. The Sport has a 189-hp four-cylinder engine and 18-inch wheels, while the EX-L adds leather and heated front seats. Touring brings LED headlights, navigation, and adaptive cruise control, while the regular Hybrid uses a 196-hp two-motor system.

What changed, by category

Powertrain

The Plug-in Hybrid is dropped from the lineup. The regular Accord Hybrid continues with its 2.0-liter two-motor hybrid system, while gas models retain their existing four-cylinder and V6 engines.

Safety

The EX coupe gains Honda LaneWatch as standard equipment. This system uses a passenger-side camera to show the driver's blind-spot area.

Tech

The EX-L sedan adds HomeLink controls, and the EX-L coupe adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

“The Accord isn't full of excitement as vehicles go, but it comes with a great reputation for reliability.”

LMLeslie M.
2015 Honda Accord LX Sedan (4-Cyl)

“My one interior issue is that I would like to lower the steering wheel lower than it is. However, if I lower it too much I lose the ability to directly see the speedometer without moving my head. So I wish as one of the variable options I could see a digital readout of the speed where the odometer is, or close by.”

JHJohn H.
2015 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring Sedan (4-Cylinder)

“Absolutely love my vehicle and would not trade it for anything, will ride it to the wheels fall off!”
