2022 Honda Accord: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Honda Accord is mostly a carryover, with the new Hybrid Sport replacing the previous Hybrid EX as the main change. The engines, safety features, structure, and overall design remain the same.
About the 2022 Honda Accord
10th generation (2018-2022), final year before the 2023 redesign; post-2021 refresh.
Honda positions the Accord as a roomy midsize sedan that mixes family-car usefulness with a more polished, engaging drive than many mainstream rivals. The gas versions emphasize strong turbo response and everyday comfort, while the hybrid adds excellent fuel savings without turning the car into something stripped-down or awkward to use. Across the range, the Accord’s core draw is simple: big interior space, easy phone-friendly tech, standard driver-assist features, and a more upscale feel than many competitors.
The 2022 Accord lineup ranges from the straightforward LX and efficiency-focused base Hybrid to the sharper-looking Sport models. EX-L emphasizes comfort with leather seats, heated front seats, and upgraded audio, while Touring adds features such as navigation, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, and adaptive suspension.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The Sport trim gains a hybrid version using the existing 2.0-liter two-motor hybrid system. It takes the place of the previous Hybrid EX; the underlying hybrid system itself does not change.
Styling
The new Hybrid Sport brings the Sport trim’s black exterior details, 19-inch wheels, rear spoiler, sport pedals, and other athletic-looking touches to the hybrid lineup.
