2025 Honda Accord: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2025 Honda Accord
11th generation (2023-present), third model year; minor equipment update year.
Honda positions the Accord as a midsize sedan that balances sleek styling, roomy everyday usefulness, easy-to-use technology, and confident road manners. The lineup gives shoppers a choice between a 1.5-liter turbo model and stronger, more efficient hybrid trims, while standard Honda Sensing safety tech and a clean, comfortable cabin are central to the pitch. Versus rivals, the Accord’s identity is less about flash and more about being an all-around sedan that feels polished, efficient, and easy to live with.
The LX remains the straightforward gas model, while the new SE adds everyday comforts and darker exterior details. The Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring use a 204-hp hybrid system; highlights range from the Sport’s 12.3-inch touchscreen to the EX-L’s leather-trimmed cabin and the Touring’s Google built-in, head-up display, and Bose audio system.
