Honda revealed today that the brand-new 2023 Accord will start at $28,390 ($27,295 + $1,095 destination charge) in the U.SA. That marks a modest $775 price increase over the base Accord’s price for the 2022 model year.
For that extra dough, buyers will get the 11th-generation Honda Accord LX model, which is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. It has been updated for 2023 to feature a better direct-injection system, cold-active catalyst, and more, which help it to make 192 hp (143 kW/195 PS) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque.

The engine has been tuned more for smoothness than power, though, as has the CVT transmission. Inside, the LX gets a seven-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.2-inch instrument screen, LED headlights and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The EX builds from there and adds heated front seats, a one-touch power sliding moonroof, dual-zone climate control, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and the sound system gets upgraded to an eight-speaker system. It is the only other ICE-only model in the lineup, and prices for it start at $30,705 (dest. included).
2023 Honda Accord Pricing & EPA Fuel Economy Ratings
Honda believes that more than 50 percent of the model’s sales will come from four hybrid trims in the 2023 Accord’s lineup. They are the Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and the Touring, and all benefit from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors that are mounted side-by-side. They provide the Accord with 204 hp (152 kW/207 PS) and 247 lb-ft (335 Nm) of torque.
The cheapest way to get into an Accord hybrid will be the Sport model, which starts at $32,990 (dest. included). It gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, Berlina Black 19-inch alloy wheels with a machined face, and Honda’s largest-ever touchscreen. Standard on all hybrid Accords, the 12.3-inch infotainment screen gets a physical volume knob, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The Sport-L builds on the Sport trim and adds a memory function to the driver’s seat, a power passenger’s seat, as well as sportier styling accents, which includes a rear diffuser. Prices for that model start at $34,970 (dest. included). The EX-L, meanwhile, starts where the EX left off and adds front and rear parking sensors, leather seats, Pewter Grey 17-inch alloy wheels, and costs $34,635 (dest. included).
Finally, the Touring trim tops the lineup with Google built-in technology that allows owners to utilize Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play within the car’s infotainment system. It also comes with a three-year unlimited data plan, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, wireless smartphone charging, 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability, heated rear seats, as well as heated and ventilated front seats.
Interested customers won’t have to wait long before they can check out the new sedan, because Honda says that the new 11th-generation Accord will start arriving in American dealerships this month.
