MotorWeek | First Look: 2016 Honda Accord

This is the number 1 selling midsize car among actual consumers. The biggest news for this year's refresh takes you inside. Time to get technological. Zach Maskell joined Honda on their recent trip in San Marcos, California and was able to get to know the updated, ol' faithful.

bravo Honda. haven't seen an accord look this good since 93.

The design of the current gen Accord is so awesomely modern that it looks avantgarde. This is the very best Accord ever. It's also the first time I like the face-lifted models much more than the initial design of any car.

Saw it today on the lot. Beautiful car.  Love my 2012 Accord but this new one is so much nicer.

The taillights aren't "all LED" because the turn signals are not LED.  Personally I hate when manufacturers make taillights half and half.  If you're gonna go LED, make ALL of it LED.

This Accord really takes the brand to the next level with the technology - very much like the Pilot in that respect

[BayViewz]

What a very attractive accord it is. It makes you think twice before purchasing the tlx!!

[ORIGINLFluffy]

Dang it, Honda... Why are you making my next car decision so tough for me?

This guys philly/south jersey accent is BRUTAL

Can you guys please post a review of a 97 or 98 accord. I would love to see it!!

[accordwhip]

When I first saw the car, the rear taillights reminded me of the old Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but now, I don't even care. It looks SO GOOD!!! I kinda wish my parents had waited a year to buy this thing instead of purchasing the 2014 EX back in March 2014, but then again, we needed a new car ASAP. And if Honda added AWD that would blow Subaru out of the water now!
When compared to the Camry, I thought this:
2014 Camry vs. 2014 Accord: Accord wins.
2015 Camry vs. 2015 Accord: Camry wins.
2016 Camry vs. 2016 Accord: Accord wins.
What are your guys opinions on those three?

My only question that'll have me skip the Touring and get an EXL V6 is does the Touring have front ventilated seats. I keep hearing of rear heated seats. That investment should have been put towards ventilation for the driver and passenger! Ventilated seats is not an Acura Advance/Honda Elite only feature!!! I'd appreciate someone confirming this bit of disappointment. Thanks.

Looks good.. Not sure how I feel about chrome.. My ilx has a sort of chrome front and it hasn't been damaged in the 2 years I've had it so it might be ok. I don't like the 2 screen thing they have.. Glad it finally supports CarPlay thought

[junior]

So led headlights and taillights are going to be standard on every trim level?

[AAB]

Do Honda hate it's Acura brand? Or do they want to just kill Acura! This car looks far more sporty than the TL. thieves are going to love to leave this Accord on cinderblocks.

[hamlettelmah]

i had driver seat issues on my 08 v6 every time i would take it back or forward, it would make this click click click noise and you could feel it but prior to that i've owned few accords and none had any issues w the seats and neither does my current accord, 2013 v6.

I hate CVT! I test drove some new Nissans yesterday and was disappointed at how jerky the transmission felt. I drive a 17 year old Toyota and love the smooth as butter transmission.

[alvilla]

The current Accord looks awesome and the 2016 looks better unlike the silverado I like more the 2002 than the newer ones

[mdossantosd]

All I can think about is the back wheels just being there to keep the rear of the car from dragging on the ground. The rear of a front wheel drive car is basically a trailer.

[tylerisnot]

this is considered a refresh right? this isn't a new generation/remodel accord right? they just remodeled in 2013?

[ScaryGhost]

You need the "honda sensing". The blindspots on these things are outrageous
