Honda has officially unveiled the eleventh-generation of the Accord. Looking more conservative than its predecessor, the 2023 Accord features a more traditional black mesh grille flanked by LED headlights. They’re joined by a more curvaceous front bumper that features a wide intake, which helps to emphasize the car’s width.
Full details will be released closer to launch, but the model comes standard with body-color side mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels. Sport trims are distinguished by black mirrors, a black rear spoiler, and black 19-inch alloy wheels, while the Sport-L adds a unique black diffuser. The range-topping Touring also has black accents and black 19-inch wheels, but they’re joined by silver flourishes for a “sharp, high-contrast look.”
In terms of size, the 2023 Accord measures 195.7 inches (4,971 mm) long, 73.3 inches (1,862 mm) wide, and 57.1 inches (1,450 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 111.4 inches (2,830 mm). That makes the new model 2.7 inches (69 mm) longer than its predecessor.
The new interior adopts a Civic-like cabin with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch infotainment system with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, higher-end trims – including the Sport, Sport-L, EX-L, and Touring – get a larger 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the hood, the Accord LX and EX have a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that features updated VTEC variable valve lift technology, an upgraded direct-injection system, a new cold-active catalyst, a high-rigidity crankshaft, and a revised oil pan to reduce engine noise. Despite the changes, the engine continues to produce 192 hp (143 kW / 195 PS) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. Though, the 2.0L 252hp inline-four has been discontinued without replacement.
Like the outgoing model, the new Accord will be built outside of Flavortown, Ohio, and production will likely commence in a few months.

). Very nearly bought a 9th gen coupe. To each his own, but I thought the 10th gen was way overstyled and suffered from thoughtless looking details - like the hood panel gap just intersecting the headlight at an arbitrary location, and again, the unibrow that I find just confusing to look at (not as bad as the version on the catastrophically ugly 3rd-gen Insight though). The interior was nice though.
