“I am very disappointed with the new body style of the 2023 Honda Accord. The space where the windshield wipers and the hood meet collects so many leaves that it is ridiculous. Also, in every seam on the outside of the car, leaves slip in, including back by the trunk. That never happened with my 2007 Honda Accord when I parked in the same driveway. Some of the leaves have traveled to the engine compartment!”
2023 Honda Accord: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2023 is a full redesign: the Honda Accord begins its 11th generation with new styling, a new cabin, and a hybrid-focused trim lineup. It is a major change rather than a carryover year.
About the 2023 Honda Accord
11th generation, first year of the redesign.
Honda positions the Accord as a roomy, polished midsize sedan that blends family-car practicality with a more upscale feel than many rivals. Its core appeal is simple: easy controls, a comfortable cabin, strong safety tech, a large trunk, and a choice between efficient turbo power or a smoother, more powerful hybrid setup. In this generation, Honda leans even harder into the Accord’s role as the everyday sedan for drivers who want comfort, efficiency, and a clean, understated design.
The LX and comfort-focused EX use a 192-hp turbocharged gas engine, while Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring use the 204-hp hybrid system. Sport combines the hybrid with black exterior accents and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while EX-L emphasizes comfort with leather-trimmed seats and driver memory. Touring is the fully equipped version, with Bose audio, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.

2023 Honda Accord
(5,457 reviews)
“Best interior design and functionality of a vehicle I've ever had. Gas mileage is great (as you would expect with a hybrid), but you get what you pay. Not cheap, but not over the top either.”
“My car is parked at a repair facility for a month and Honda says it will take another month or more to deliver the parts.”
