Had a 10th gen sport and now and 11th gen exl. I must say the 11th gen feels like I’m driving a luxury car. Handling is still great. Full tank says 560 miles on full. Engine is quiet. Front has grown on me. The back end is way better now. Seats are so comfortable. Infotainment system is 10x better. All digital gauges. Give it 1 more year and the boring comments will change to love.

I LOVE this all new Accords styling. It’s styling is clean, more fluid, which accentuates the strong body length character line. The styling is more grown up; refined; handsome, yet still sporty, more so than the previous generation. It’s SEXY. BEAUTIFUL car, with a bold stance on the road. I really love it ! Great critique and review. Thank you-Tim.

I just got the 2023 EXL hybrid, and I absolutely love this car! 💯💯💯
You have three common drive modes economy normal sport, and individual... you can customize wether or not you want a sport steering or normal, everything to even the power train... it's definitely a very luxurious feel, even though it's not a touring... for it being just over 33k there isn't that much differences from the top trim...a very nice relaxing ride with excellent fuel economy... 51 city 48hwy and 44 over all... great car! 12.3 inch screen!

I ABSOLUTELY love my 2023 Accord Touring

The first time I saw the car on the road, I thought it was a European car, and as I got closer, it turned out to be a Honda! I like how it looks, and it's much better looking than the previous gen!

The previous generation Accord was eye-catching, modern, and stylish without being over the top like Hyundai. This new generation doesn't conjure the same feelings and I think that's why it's so polarizing. It is starting to grow on me though. And Accords have ALWAYS looked amazing in red. This one is no different.

I've got a 2015 v6 sedan. I just came back from a business trip (leaving from the mid-west and heading east), topping my tank off in Eastern Illinois before I left and then stopping again for gas just East of Pittsburgh. The gas light was on, with 43 miles of estimated range remaining. My car was packed with clothes and the necessary gear to make a 6 week stay comfortable. I'd love to have some of the tech in the newer cars, but for performance and fuel economy, I really can't justify replacing what I have. They need to bring back the v6 and pair it up with a plug-in hybrid system. It should have 400hp with 40-50 miles of EV only range.

Test drove one & really would love it as my daily driver.

I've owned the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring for several months and love the heck out of this thing. Surprisingly luxurious, especially for a Honda. I will be the first to admit that the exterior is the very definition of bland--almost identical to my previous 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid. But I live in Houston and personally think driving around in a car sporting a big "steal me" sign is ill-advised. It's the INTERIOR where this thing shines. The ride, the technology and the excellent fit and finish make this car a real winner for me. That, plus a freakin' 44 MPG make the gas wars something I comfortably ignore.

I was a bit freaked out by the speeds you were taking those corners at. Then I saw the button for the heated steering wheel and realized you were in Canada, hence kmh not mph. It handles pretty good though. I have the same car / color you drove on the test, less the heated steering wheel that is not available in the US. BTW, have put 1300 miles on the car, averaging 43.5 mpg on mix of city / highway, mostly on eco drive mode. I'm pleased with that.

Great review! I was aghast when I first saw the redesign, but I must say it's growing on me. Looks clean.

The rear seat room is so huge compared to older accords. The entire cars have gotten so big overall.

[brenttitus]

How can you not feel the difference with the adaptive dampers? The whole chassis stiffens up and it really makes a difference with aggressive driving.

I just completed a roundtrip drive from New Jersey to Cincinnati Ohio totaling 1, 244 miles on mostly Interstate highways. I saw many Ford and Chevy pickups but not many Toyota's. Saw many Jeep products, many Nissan Rouges, many prior generation Honda Accords, a few Tesla's and only one 11th generation Honda Accord. The most striking car I saw was the 9th generation Accord with the V6 engine, It just blew me away. It looked so robust and substantial compared to the 11th generation.

When it first came out I was disappointed, but after seeing it in person it's pretty sexy, especially in all black.

A Traditional Gearshift ⚙️! Praise 👏 the Lord! 😊. But, a map/storage pocket on the back of the passenger seat, and none on the driver's seat! (?)😮 Nice looking ride! 👏💪

I like the clean new look. Never was a fan of a bunch of fake chrome.

What Honda should consider is to make a wagon or liftback version of Accord. Maybe call it Accord Liftour and Accord Wagontour

[nutrdvt]

‏Thanks for the great review, in your opinion what is the best color on the Honda Accord ???

[greggost]

I've heard from others, all the windows in the Touring trim are double pane, or sound deadening... not just the Windshield. hence the quiet cabin.. is rather Buick like.
