- The Accord is all new and Honda has made some big changes. On the outside of the entry level LX trim you will discover FULL LED lighting, 17in wheels and new grill. On the inside there is more room, a standard 7in infotainment system and 10.25in digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 192HP & is mated to a CVT. Is the 2023 Honda Accord LX a better sedan to buy than a Toyota Camry LE?

I'm a big Honda fan, former 2006 Civic Si owner. But the car in this video is the most "preowned" looking new car I've ever seen! I think it's the color/window tint/small wheel combination. Looks 4 years old!
Thanks fir sharing that great info.
My first thoughts as well. Massive step back in looks compared to last gen.
Looks like a rental spec car.
@Raiti's Rides not sure if your using a new camera or whatever, but doesn't look as "live" or clean, as prior.
Not an upgrade
Looks like a used chevy malibu. Last gen was way better in every way
At last somebody is reviewing a base model car. Thank you
You are so very welcome! I love bringing all of the trims as much as I can.
I still have my 17 Accord LX. Over 140,000 miles on it. Excellent car and have had no issues with it, just kept up with oil changes
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
My 2010 Accord has over 186K miles and still going strong!
@@apunited come on mang, thats just non-sense.....
2017 with 140k miles? Lots of driving.
@@carwash38 yeah I use it a lot for work
Thank you for showing these base model vehicles. Maybe I'm too "old school", but there was a time long ago when cars equipped like this were perfectly acceptable to the general public and can be had around $20 K. Something that can actually be bought with cash or at least financed under 5 years and then kept until the wheels fall off for the majority of the public. Gets you from point A to point B in comfort with 15/ 16/ 17 inch wheels and without the extras such as sunroof, leather, power seats, AWD, digital readout temp control, etc. $28K for a base model is still hard to swallow, though and without blind spot monitoring.
Inflation perhaps.😊
No kidding... Jeez, I bought my Kia Optima SX 2020 for 31k with tax and discount at the time. I have Panoramic Roof, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats. Dual climate control, 10 speaker 640 watt Harmon Kardon, radar cruise control, lane keep assist, cross traffic alert, real leather seats, 6 speed automatic with paddle shifters and a 2.0 4cyl turbo engine with 245HP and 265 Torque... Seems like I'd have to pay 45K for that today... That's only 3 years ago.. and 5 year 60k warranty bumper to bumper with 100k mile 10 year warranty on power train transmission...
2005 Accord LX was $18500 new when I bought it back in late 2004.
@@emeyer6963 adjusted for inflation that 18,500 worth in 2004 now is worth $29,792.

Thanks for doing these reviews of different trim levels of the Accord. I’m sure it’s not as exciting as the high end luxury and sports cars to review, but it means a lot to people whose means are more modest and just need a basic daily driver. Great review!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I agree Tom. I look forward to these basic transportation reviews. I could easily live with this Accord LX.
Agree. I hate leather seats, I live alone so when I buy a car I position the seat and never change it again, so power seats is unnecessary, and since there's no one on the passenger side, there's no need for another temperature setting. I need a car that runs good with an air conditioner, heater, windshield wipers and a radio and can find plenty of fun, frivolous ways to spend the thousands that I saved on the car.
I'd consider this accord but so far I can't get past the plaind looks of it. The last gen was over the top for me, now they went too far in the other direction.
This new accord looks like the Enterprise Rental Car special. If I saw this beside an Altima….I’d chose the Altima. Which is saying ALOT!
Hey hey how, this generation of Altimas actually look kind of nice!! 😂
@@4lifemusiclovaI’m an accord owner. I am currently renting the new Altima and it I am very impressed with how nice it is. They did a great job.
Haaa I’m in one now… from Enterprise! Hey it’s nicer than my other ‘09 Corolla & it was a nice, sporty red so it was cool lol 😊
I still love my 2022 Honda Accord Sport Special Edition, and I plan on driving it "till the wheels fall off." I saw someone at a gas station driving a 2023 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid, and it actually looks pretty good when you see it in person, up close, but I still like the looks of the 10th Gen much better, sooo sporty.
I would hold on to her!
@RaitisRides no worries about that, my friend. The 10th Gen has a home with me. By the way, I really admire your channel. Keep up the good work!!
"Knock knock who's there? Nothing" 😂
This is the car they give you in the witness protection program.
I believe the Civic and Accord are sharing underpinnings. That they can get 190 HP out of a 1.5 liter is amazing. That was race car efficiency 20 years ago. A really solid car, however, the LX level is $28,390 if you take it bare stock. That is not cheap. It's a nice car, why is the base level 30k? There just isn't a low end Honda any more.
The 17 inch wheel considering all the potholes here in California is a nice. Big wheels are stupid given how bad the roads are.
Thanks Edward for sharing your thoughts on this one.
they can get that much hp from a 1.5 liter because these 4 cylinder hondas love to rev at high rpms like its nothing and can actually handle a much larger turbo than they put on it.
Thank you for covering base models. Some people don’t want all the fancy stuff but they do come to YOU to help them comparison shop! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride . . .
10th generation owner here. The 11th generation needs a major refresh starting with underneath the hood.
Terrible idea of them phasing out the 2.0T with the 10 speed.
When you mentioned you were born in 76 I smiled. Aging gracefully & happily bud. You have 26 year old energy!
I'll never buy a car with cvt transmission....no matter how much I save on mpg's and I think I am not alone...many ppl just hate cvt transmission
this is the exact car i got. i got it for under MSRP. so far its great.
Honda has made the Accord. Less competitive, against it's rivals. The Nissan has the VC 2.0 turbo, with 240hp. And the Camry has an available 3.5-liter V-6, and the Mazda 6 has the 2.5-liter turbo. I don't understand the logic in that. Even if the Accord's 2.0 turbo wasn't a big seller. They could have continued production, but at a smaller volume. Honda is definitely gonna lose customers, that are looking for the 2.0 turbo, to the other 3.
Honda holds its resale value Nissan doesn’t Nissan engines fail fast 😂
I’ve had 6 Accords, but my 18 Sport was by far my favorite. Everything about it felt perfectly executed and those 19” wheels could have been on a car that costs twice as much. I traded it for an Odyssey last year and have cried myself to sleep every night since.
Why did you trade it in for a mini van of all things?
I traded my 16 accord sport for a 23 crv hybrid sport and it's nowhere near as fun as the accord was lol I could not imagine going from it to a mini van
Love Accords! Ever since I owned my desert gold 2002 coupe, I've been a believer! Great all-around vehicles.
Thanks for sharing your feelings on this one!
@@RaitisRides aww - thanks so much for your reply!! Love the channel, so many great videos and awesome cars. You always make it enjoyable and interesting to learn more about what's happening in the industry! Cheers 🍻👍
The 2.0T & 10sp being gone are a huge zonk for me.
But the 2023 new sport hybrid gets 51MPG city though. The 2.0T maybe a beast, but quite thirsty as well in city driving.
I remember when 17 inch rims were considered big LOL. I wish Honda would have kept the V6 or the 2L turbo motor but I understand emissions are getting more strict and the 2L did not sell well. The Honda Accord was my first brand new car in 1995. The Accord is so expensive now even for a base model. I do not like the 1.5L turbo. I prefer an NA for longevity and lower maintenance cost.
I would prefer the Civic because the Accord has grown so much and the Civic is about the same size as the Accord of 1990s. Good review btw. I am glad you did a review on the LX. Not everyone wants a top of the line model.
the 2L did sell well, Honda just made less of them and they were the top trim, the 2L was one of the most better engines ever made
People keep saying the 2.0T didnt sell well and its not true. I guess i would assume that too seeing how Honda got rid of it but the truth is Honda wants to anger their customers and turn off people to the accord so they gave it this ugly styling with an underpowered engine and the most shitty CVT transmission possible
A CVT's "simulated" shifts make no sense whatsoever. The manufacturer's know it but customers don't buy CVT's without it. Fuel mileage improves and so does smoothness and, probably, reliability.
Joe I think the this accord looks more classic than the last gen, but the last gen looks sportier.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
The 2023 Honda Accord is your grandfather's Oldsmobile.
Omg that’s perfect! Lol
I have owned many Hondas through the years. Many of them have been Accords, usually the EX or Sport model. I purchased a new 2024 Honda Accord LX this past December. I purchased this Accord as a second car and daily driver to and from work. In my opinion it is the most comfortable smooth riding Honda I have owned. I find myself driving this more and more, even took a recent road trip in this car. The gas milage is also impressive as one of the only two non hybrid Accord models.
Thanks you for sharing you Honda background Carlos.
When I sat in it at the Auto Show. It's a Zonk. Idky they sacrificed so much luxury design. That cvt sounds horrrrrrible. Bring back the 3.5 V6
This car looks like it was designed in 2009
But it wasn't
Not having a 2.0 liter engine, might hurt the Accord sales. The exterior looks questionable, but the last generation looks good.
Prefer the overall looks of the previous gen..not feeling this one
Saw one at the gas station… that thang literally look like a while boat 🚤
I don’t really mind with this Accord LX because it still gets you Full LED headlights, and I probably think you can paint over that white rim to make it black or something. And Fabric seats I rlly don’t mind
I have the 2024 Lx And I have WiFi in my through AT&T Warner Gable Unlimited wifi and hotspot the features are really good .
As a pure Honda fan (my current car is a 10th Gen Accord), I eagerly awaited the arrival of the 11th gen. I'm supremely disappointed---shocked is a better word, actually. From the utter 'lack' of exterior styling, to the Taurus grill, to the very cheap looking flat black trim (yes, y'all look closely), it literally exudes cost-cutting measures. And then? Oh yeah, the interior. Compare the dash to the new Civic, which is better trimmed than even the upper strata Accord models. There are far too many things for me to mention here. I was flabbergasted... and an example of the build quality (or lack thereof) can be seen at 11:48 into this video. Look at the seam on the side of the passenger seat.... it's wrinkled. Wholly unacceptable. If you're thinking of buying one of these, do yourself a BIG favor... just walk around and sit in a 10th gen, then do the same for the 2023, all the while looking VERY closely at the details ...that's where they say the Devil is, after all. So, thanks, Honda, you just saved me about $39,000, because I'm gonna keep my 10th Gen Accord until you come back to your senses.
It is crazy the direction that Honda went in Dayne.
I was very excited to see the 11th generation and when I first seen this it was like Honda pulled out the rug from all the enthusiasts like myself!
Honda bot
And then to make it worse I realized there was no 2.0 turbo or real transmission that was the Titanic sinking right there for me!!
Who wants a 1.5 and a CVT? Not me...this is an easy check off my boxes...
My 2011 Accord was a great car but the new ones have tiny engines and no AWD offering like Toyota. I opted for 2023 Camry with an 8 speed transmission, you can keep those crappy CVT transmissions., A real key instead of that push button junk, A engine timing chain instead of engine belt, a larger engine than Honda and a slightly lower price.
It is very interesting!
@pryda1 me tooooo 😊
It’s reliable, cheap to maintain and it’s an amazing choice for many people who are looking to buy their first car who don’t care about amenities and it gets you from point A to Point B effortlessly. Great review Raiti’s rides but I’ll go with a civic sport touring,all black of course. 😊
Looks like you might go Camry bro?
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425 I’m going to have to go Camry bro.

@@DarkJediChrisG-1425 me too bro!! I can’t wait also I’m wondering if hennessey performance is going to receive inquiries for this challenger. I’m thinking an HPE1200 or something.
I’m sorry Joe, but this Accord is just BAD all around. There are used cars 2-4 years old that are cheaper, better looking and have more features. It’s terrible how Honda butchered this car for the 11th gen….
Well. He gets laid in an
I really like it. I own a 2018 Camry LE and a 2007 Accord SE with 180,000 on it and its been a very reliable car. This 2023 looks very nice. The back is a big improvement from the awful 2022 tail lights in my opinion. I like the LX better because I prefer more tire and a smoother ride with the 17 inch wheel. Also a car is a depreciable asset. If you spend to much on the EX-L is going to depreciate the same as the LX, plus if you have an accident is $ down the drain. To all of you that say "I don't like the engine it's not 2.0 anymore" Look people this is a family sedan not a race car. And this trend of having a screen that looks like a tablet or laptop is stupid. A car is for driving, a car is not a entertainment center. All of this extras cost money and Honda or Toyota have to rise prices because stupid people want a screen that is 60 inches in front of them and want a push start button on a mass produced car. The Accord or Camry is a mass produced car like toilet paper is produced. If you want something sporty buy a Ferrari or a Roll Royce if you want something special.
I don't know Joe, this just doesn't do it for me. Yes, I think the price is alright they really stripped it down. I think the only people who would want it are the rental car companies lol. Look if my 2020 Fusion base model comes with a bigger screen, that actually has color that's cheaper and older, that's a problem in itself. Oh and it has a 12 volt in the back with freaking AC vents !
Excellent points Chris.

I think previous gen looks cleaner than the new one.
Props for reviewing the base model!
Bland design and lack of the 2.0T motor aside, my biggest problem with this new Accord is how Honda really cheaped out with features that were once standard in lower trims, yet at higher MSRPs. My ‘22 Sport 2.0T has fog lamps, 4-way lumbar on the drivers seat, wireless charging, rear air vents…even 2 piece headrests in the back seat. A 2022 Sport Hybrid has none of these…or even a standard spare tire! Good luck with your Fix-aFlat if you cut a sidewall in a place with no cell phone reception.
That 2.0t was a beast, but sure can’t get 51MPG city like the 2023 Accord Sport hybrid.
This is the base Accord. The previous LX model didn't come with keyless entry, full digital display or remote starter. It was 25k now it's 28k .
@@jml9550 51mpg and cancer with the radiation all those batteries emit! Good luck with that!
I own the previous gen black sport, cannot believe myself saying it grew on me, had a loaner black ex non hybrid from dealers, favorite new gen is the rear led lights across and softer comfortable interior, want one in LX trim in black only trim selling for less than $30k
That is fantastic to hear Issac,
"Grandpas balls. bowling balls." You're the best , Joe, and your humor is the icing on the cake! When you go "on throttle", it's your facial expressions, vitality level and your exuberance, or lack thereof that tells me how you - Joe Raiti - really feel about a car. When you feel even a little thrill, your fans detect it right away with at least a smile or emoting like you're having fun, or even a total blast. With this car, you looked like you were on your way to a funeral, or perhaps just lost your winning powerball ticket. You looked like you had a bad case of "Zonkitis." Honda cheaped out, cut corners, did some de-contenting and then decided to charge more despite stripping away just enough of what made the Accord a great value proposition, and made the buyer happy. Honda used to make people happy; especially with the base models because they were so well outfitted with few compromises. The Civic is better looking in my opinion, or at least considerably less bland. This company has changed course, with the customers wishes now a mere afterthought and the $$$ grab priority #1.
I’ll like toyota Camry very reliable than Honda accord transmission issue
That is a very good point Allan!
No 2.0 L and cvt only??? Man they really screwed it up
@Brian Lee I'd prefer CVT's to never have existed. They are all garbage 😂
@Brian Lee there's lots of choices like a Kia K5..
This is the only sedan I wanted to get Joe.
That is awesome Jeremiah!
First they completely drop the stick shift from the accord in 2020, now the new generation ONLY has a cvt? Shame, very disappointed.
I still have my v6 2017 accord can never give that away
Hold on to her!
That's a very nice Ford Taurus. Lol
I see what you did there!
They don't make any ford sedans anymore. That's a honda. I recommend seeing them in person, looks much better up close.
This car is such a disappointment whether it be the base trim or the top of the line model Honda really dropped the ball on this one
$28k seems a bit much for a base trim midsize sedan… after paperwork, that could easily go over 30k which makes the LE Camry an appealing deal starting at $26k
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this one.
It is a great car and the price is very attractive. For daily use this car is more than enough.
I agree with you Omar.
I loved this over the new Camry for two reasons. 1. Camry seats are so uncomfortable. 2. I’m not a fan of the angry-robot-face design language on the front end of most of Toyota’s models.
I miss the lobster claws already. The previous gen looked so nice with the Sport trim wheels. This just looks like any 2008 sedan.
I like this, and i like the rims. They remind me of the 2008 Accord LX-P rims
No turbo for me even if honda!!!
I know it’s not for everyone
The crash test performance of this car is its best feature. It's the only midsize sedan that aces the new tests.
It’s crazy that it doesn’t have blind spot monitoring with that long foot print.
This is very true!
My 2017 Mazda has BSM and rear cross traffic alert. No excuse for Honda to not even offer it as an option on the LX in 2024.
Hahahahah bowling ball had me cracking up 😂 🎳
The accord used to be the flagship sedan. A LX trim used to be well appointed. My parents have a new civic and I have to say, I see no reason to even buy an accord. This car is disappointing, you can see they really cut costs everywhere you look. Might as well get a K5... No wonder Hyundai and Kia are selling so well.
13:20 “Knock knock who’s there? Nothing” 😂 gold and a great review as always
almost to 1M subs!!! welll deserved man
Bring Back the 2.0 or even the 3.5 one engine is just not enough options.
Anything to be honest
The 2023 - 2024 Honda Accord is a very attractive car, both inside and out are elegantly designed. The rear taillights are a huge improvement to previous models. This car has a timeless design, interior
styling surpasses any other car in its class.
Thought it was a Ford Taurus for a sec when I looked at the thumbnail
You are not the first to say that.
Cool that the 23 LX has remote start - the 10th Gen LX (2018 -2021) didn’t
nice n simple.. and also with the 17s, get a little better ride i would imagine
Thieves love stealing the 19” wheels on higher trims and they costs several thousand dollars to replace if you can find them in stock anywhere.
no hood prop rod on my 2014 EX-L V6, hood has struts that work very well.
They want 28k for that shit smh lmao!? Ain't no way man
How much would you say?
@Raiti's Rides for that basic car honestly 22k lol 20-22k
the huge knock is no turbo 2.0. just for that I have to pass plua it copies a civic interior trim? knock number 2!
38 packs of series 1 garbage pail kids!! lol at this point, I'm only checking for Raiti's reviews!! lol
Ah the “mesh”… wonder how fast it’ll accumulate dust and how hard to clean it is…
I know midsize sedans are trying to compete with suvs but I’m starting to think they’re getting a little long in the tooth.
You might be right!
If I was going with a base trim I don't know why I wouldn't go with a Legacy and save 3 or 4 thousand and get AWD.
Zonk: NO SPARE TIRE !?
I would choose a Mazda 6 over this characterless design anyday. The 6 s interior has so much more charisma too.
I wish they still made the Mazda 6.
Man, I thought it was a used car from like 10yrs ago.lol
LOL You crack me up!
Honda CVT or Toyota Auto Trans?
SOO REAL QUESTION WHICH ONE IS BETTER?? CAMRY OR ACCORD ??
absolutely not not only did they get rid of their 2-0 k20c.but they put a CVTi might as well be a Nissan product! not only did the price go up but the performance went way down.and it looks like a glorified Ford Taurus Chevy Malibu.which is not a good thing. they took a platformthat stood out from a crowdhad somewhat of a sleeper status and threw all that away for a boring looking design. no the Toyota Camry finally can be the top dog with no debate out handles11th g e n . I drove the new one it is dangerously slow do not buy this abortion of a car how dare Honda do this .turn on top of everything else they decided to go flat black on the pillars so they will turn white after two years instead of the gloss black in the previous generationway2go charge the customer more give them a lot less and hopefully they don't notice
Oof. 28k for this is a hard sell for me.
People who can afford that can no doubt afford something more expensive.
I have always been an Accord fan. Bought 4 over the years. However, this new model really does not excite me. Not into the new interior and the way they put it in every Honda model. Also, the price of the LX is difficult to handle. I bought an 18 EXL brand new in 2018 for slightly under 28K. I believe Honda needs to give people more for 28K.
Thats honda for you. Toyota is way cheaper
9th V6 owner.
A car where on throttle actually gives you engagement and fun.
Honda lost the plot
You are spot on the money
Nice looking car. Toyota offers more stuff in their various trim levels than Honda, in my experience.
True. That's why the Camry was the primary choice years ago
I think you are right!
@@marvinscottjr.4310 excellent point
This car is not worth more than $24,500.00 MSRP. My theory is that manufacturers are significantly hiking all entry level prices to bring it within striking distance of EV vehicles...all with the purpose of making consumers feel that EV are reasonably priced. This generation is for the rental fleet market....it's a total snoozefest!!!
I do appreciate the design of the new Accord, but I am just not drawn to Honda at all anymore. I know their Canadian sales have really slumped (particularly the Civic). They are out of touch on pricing and the quality isn’t what is used to be. I think Mazda has taken over where Honda left off.
I can understand those feelings that you are having.
Good review as always.. Thanks joe
Thank you fir that extra support! It really means so much!
Honda mostly gave up on large sedans and is giving you the bare minimum, sales of large sedans will continue to fall. New drivers moved up to SUVs crossovers. Plus Honda can’t compete with Toyota on price because Toyota is a much larger car company
Toyota can utilize economies of scale and give you more for less. Current Base Camry Le or even a Camry form 6 years ago has more features for smaller price. Accord base is a tin can on wheels with the generic 1.5 engine Honda sticks into 10 different models
the outside of the current camry is more beautiful than that NEW accord....toyota no need to make a new camry.....LOL
The rims scream FORD! Can’t put my finger on why but it does look like a newer Taurus!
I actually love the looks and styling, but it does seem significantly "cheap" compared to the previous generation base model. Then, seeing you punch the gas and nothing happens for about three seconds... The expression on your face says it all... I think I'll wait to see what the new Camry has to offer.
I can't wait to bring the new Camry to you.
Ok just the tints add flare to this base model. Kinda looks like a police unit
Love the review my dad got the sport hybrid lol
That is super awesome!
The bright wheels 🛞 make the side view of this Accord look even more plain.
This looks like more of a car from 2010
Hi Joe. For a 2023, it seems like Honda went cheap and short-changed everything about this car, hence the small rimes, small infotainment system, no sunroof, etc. Performance wise, the hp is horrible! I can't see myself owning this car, but once again, great job on the review Joe!!
This is a base model. If you want more you have to pay more.
Both Honda and Toyota have "value engineered" their cars to keep them affordable. Multiple airbags, infotainment systems, and have added features, yet have kept their vehicles affordable, yet make a profit.
Just like every other base trim in this segment???
You get what you pay for, been this way forever across every car marker ever.
