- The Accord has one been one of Honda's best selling vehicles of all time. On the outside of the Accord Sport you will discover 19in wheels, standard sunroof and trunk lid spoiler. On the interior you will be greeted by cloth seats and a 12.3in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 hybrid that produces 204HP. Is the Honda Accord the BETTER new midsize sedan to BUY than a Toyota Camry?

i love how people keep talking crap about this online but the compliments that i get with car is non-stop. it's a matured looking car
Don't listen !
same here. looks very upmarket, if they called it something else i bet everyone would have loved it.
New gen looks amazing, and like it was made for adults.
Last gen already looks like a goofy and dated kid's toy with those big red crab-claw tail lights, and curvey front facia we've been seeing for over a decade now.
Looks good in person. Like you said matured. Simple classy look
My neighbor has this Honda Taurus also.
I love my 2020 Honda accord…I don’t know what Honda was thinking with this 🤦🏾♂️ huge step back in my opinion
10th Gen is the last gen. You have the final Accord made by people that remember the past. Completely new company now.
100%
@@SleeperHonda what does this mean? asking as someone who isn't well versed in the day to day of the automakers
I been watching your channel for a year now and I can’t remember ever being so revulsed by a car 🤢. Luckily 2025 Camry looks amazing.
@@helloworld-bp8fuyou worried about looks that will be your downfall people like you hate on the Honda and kiss ass of the camry and never get either
I wasn't sure about the look at first, but it's mature stylishness has since won me over. Had mine for about 3 weeks now and I LOVE it.
What color did you get ? I like the urban😊 grey
Yeah, me too. That's the one I went with.
@@elkadir70 awesome did you tint it ? I plan on tinting mines
I love this car! Wish I could afford newer accord.
Pics and videos dont do it justice. I hated the design at first but when I saw it in person, I thought it was nice. I ended up getting a black sports trim and now I LOVE it. Definitely grew on me!
I was the same. I didn’t really care for the look at first either. But, it’s grown on me. It looks way better in person, for whatever reason. Kind of gives off Audi vibes. I like the simplistic, mature look. I’ll be purchasing a Touring trim this year and will be adding a spoiler to it, to give it a touch of sportiness on an overall refined looking car.
Same, I remember going to the dealer to test drive a lease return 2021 2.0T sport but I saw the 11th and fell in love. It was a bit more expensive but the fuel savings cancels that out.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I believe it is overall a pretty great looking car, but the front bumper/grille in particular is just something I cant bring myself to love
exterior of that accord is not beautiful, its too simple.

I'm completely confused that some people actually think that this car is ugly... One of the most beautifull cars on the market. Fans of minimalism like myself would appreciate.
An AWD Accord would be a nice option
I watch your content to make my English learning more enjoyable... Your contents are better than watching other English soap operas for car lovers like me. Thank you so much
10th Gen 2.0T checks all the boxes for me. I love mine and probably will never get rid of it. 2020 and still looks brand new
I own a 10th gen as well,2018 2.0t sport and the car still drives and looks very good even after 6 years.Honda nailed it perfectly with the 10 gen;light,spacious,decent fast(with the 2.0t 10 at) and comfortable.
Same I have the 2021 2.0 and my dealer even said keep it. He said the hybrid sport is just not the same. The 2.0 is a treasure.
What most people don't realize an accord sport touring is a detuned type r. Same 2.0t. same turbo. But hondata could get you those 50hp that you're missing
Same, with a stage 3 tune it's great.
Ditto, brother. Not happy at ALL with the styling of the 11th Gen, inside and out. The cost-cutting is so obvious, inside and out. Gonna probably keep my 10th Gen until the wheels fall off.
I have this car. I think its great. Truly been a blessing. I think every car has some drawbacks here or there or a few "I wish they would have" but at the end of the day great car. Extremely happy with it. Family enjoys it.
They drop the ball on the design of this vehicle
I have a '24 EX-L... and I love this car. Consistently getting 50-52 mpg in mixed driving.
I've read somewhere that it does not get near the EPA estimates. Has you experience really been consistent? I know Honda and Toyota use different hybrid systems so i'm a bit torn onto which one I should get.
@@jafaarjafaar - I've had the EX-L since mid November 2023. Worst mpg I've seen was 49 and that was 95% highway at 70 mph. I always manually figure the mpg as I fill up.
Not sure about Toyota - since I've never owned one.
@@jafaarjafaar I have the '23 Touring. In 7400 miles, I can say it DOES get the mileage of the EPA estimate. I am at 43.3 mpg. Roughly 60% highway, 40% city. I was at 46.3 before I drove from WI to FL. Speeds over 70 or so, really drops this cars fuel economy, as does cold weather and headwinds. Toyota's system is more efficient than the Accord at highway speeds according to most reputable reviewers and owners. Drive them both. You may prefer the way the Honda drives, and for that you will give up some highway mpg. And if you really want to squeeze MPG out of the Accord, get a hybrid model with the 17" wheels and tires.
@marksimonds13 @@stevehoppenjan thanks a bunch, that does help. I'm going to test drive both the new camry and the 2024 accord sport hybrid and see where I end up. We have slightly different trims in the Canada, but I think the sport in canada is in between the EX-L and Touring in the US
The styling on last version was better….this is very 🥱
I like the Camry better.
Thanks Joe ! And congrats to The flood man
Previous gen looked waayyy better. This looks like an Impala
@@IronMan-ds5bi Bingo, you nailed it right on. I couldn't figure out which car it looked like until you said Impala.
Why are they changing it so suddenly, the new style Honda had before this grew on me. This style is atrocious
I got the same one love it so far great gas mileage very smooth I’m not sure what’s the hate about the style this is my first Honda it looks amazing
People really need to see this car in person. It's actually really nice and almost looks retro in the back. I would definitely not get this trim though and would opt for the EXL
Yeah I've seen it in person, as well as the previous two generations. Honda dropped the ball
I saw a black one the other day , I was like damm
It looks definitely nice when you see the car in person. Sometimes cars have to grow on you.
@@fusrodahing1993dropped your ball maybe but not the masses
Why the ex-l
Brooklyn ny I’m from Bergen beach I noticed the accent and the body language you the man!
“I’ll make sure not to bust my cream all over the interior” LOL
I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD THAT🤣🤣🤣
Great video as always Joe my goodness those dirrty 😅jokes get me every time. So funny. 🤣 your videos are always fun and so informative. 💪🏼
Excellent delivery Joe, as always. Thanks.
The design team couldn't wait to be off work for the day. This car is painfully boring to look at. And the Honda logo in the back is so small it's almost like the car isn't proud to announce itself.
Right? The little H makes it look like a car from the 90s
I think the 2018, Accord looked a lot better with the 2.0 turbo that put out almost 270 hp
Finally a small emblem. Not getting paid to sponsor Honda.
Definitely the last gen was so much better
Car looks older than my 2012 Camry 🤷
This car definitely hits the standard for "generic". I use to own a 2018 accord and it was a solid car, but it also had a more unique look to it..
I am not liking the styling at all. The front of the car looks like it is too long and very elongated from the body of the car. The grill seems like it is too large for the rest of the car. The back of the car seems to just get too small for the front.
They managed to make the accord front look uglier than the 2021 version. Outstanding 😂😂😂, shits gross, the 2021 version grew on me at least, but this won’t 🤢
At first wasn't sure about the new look but after washing it got a real close look it grew on me it's not sporty as the previous model I feel it more elegant
Love my ‘24 Sport in urban gray pearl. The look has grown on me also-the driving dynamics and room inside was a clincher!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
I have a 2021 accord sport 2.0 and love it... love the power. Saw this new accord and was like oh no.... then i was waiting to see what the new 2.0 would look like just to find out there isn't one. So Honda blew it this gen. Even my dealer was "like i don't know, you may want to keep your 2.0 or sacrifice alot of power and torque."
The last generation accord was much better looking. The best part was the grill and front end. Love the Accord but this design was a miss!
I would go with a previous Gen over this one.
Congratulations 🎉 Steven on ur award winning. Great job !
Congratulations Stephen!!
I love my 2021 Honda accord 2.0 T. So sad they got rid of it but I’m always keeping this.
Amazing review Joe.
I have 10th gen 2.0, 2022, an awesome car. One of the best i ever had.
Camry wins but sucks they got rid of V6 and sucks the AWD was only in the 4 cyl and not the V6..
This is so very true about the V6! That engine was bullet proof.
Loved the Brooklyn shoutout
I have a 2020 Sport 2.0T in black. I like the performance, but it feels so compact on the inside. I just drove a 24 Sport 2.0 Hybrid and loved the car with the exception of the hybrid powertrain. That might take me some time to get used to.
I don't like the changes to 'look' in the front. I loved the older headlights and grill much better. The wheels looks simpler too. Not sure I'm in love with those wheels. You'll be more invisible with this model if that's what you want. Go back 2-3 years and you stand out. I miss the stapler brake lights. With aftermarket back lights you really can look great with the staplers. I do agree with your thoughts on the emblem set on the rear though. I used to have a 22 2.0t and the MPG's are amazing on this 2024. Wire mesh inside is awesome. I wish that was on the 22.
I bought the 2023 touring Accord and love it. Test drove the camary at same time and the accord drove so much better (smoother). I love the design, more so cause it comes across so much more classier than the camary, with being a little sporty, the right touch for me. The only thing is I wish it would be mentioned, in colder weather city mpg's drop to like 26 mpg, with the hybrid , while highway still does 43 mpg. Have not seen anybody make mention of this for any reviews done on hybrids. Other then not being made aware of this I 100% love the car.
That is not my experience with the same car and I live in Wisconsin! Yes, city in winter mileage definitely drops, but to nowhere near 26. Now, if your trips are only a few miles during the winter, that is a different story. Engine spins to heat the cabin and get ICE up to temperature. Do you have in ECO mode and use regenerative braking as much as possible?
I just bought this car exact color great car!
Awesome Stephen
Over all its a nice car, i know lots of them complaining about what they should add in the interior plus not having AWD etc..but the only and main reason people are buying it because of simply MPGS, it saves lots of cash from fuel perspective
Love the lunar silver with the wheels! Have to zonk no ac vents in the back!
The Styling looks fine. It’s clean, free of characteristics that muddy the overall look and visual. The style matches the cars chief goals; dependable, efficient and refined. 😊
Great video, I think it’s got a lot of power, you should mention the 247 pounds of torque which makes it the best in its class
I so miss the 2020 Sport/Touring 2.0T 4 cylinder with that awesome acceleration!! How sad that this is gone. Ugh
The lack of AC vents and USB's in the rear is a detractor to me. My car Accord 2021 Sport 1.5T has USB's and has been very useful. Very big fail there.
Great review! Believe it or not, out of the many years I've been watching your videos and being a certified Raiti's Rides "family member", this is the first time I've EVER left a comment. Because I've researched this car extensively, here's my counterpoint on your "zonks": 1) The higher trims on this hybrid DO give you the connectivity in the back seat-- with 2 additional USB ports. 3/4 of the trims give you that. This one, being the cheapest of the four, does not. 2) Not having vents in the back is a reasonable complaint considering you live in Florida, but many of us live in the northern states where that isn't much of an issue. 3) This hybrid is still relatively new, so it could be there will be more variety with the engine choices in the future, offering a more powerful horsepower on the highest trims-- heck, even maybe coming out with a Type R version. 4) Zero to sixty in 6.5 seconds is not bad considering the price of this car!!! Also, where this car really shines is the roadholding, which scored .90 or so in Car and Driver's test-- again, not bad considering the price of this car. I'm sure if you took this car into the rural "twisty bits", you'd likely see that this car handles very well at high speeds-- let's hope your next video on this car is done out in the rural area absent of those dopey Tampa drivers. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with this review! (much more lively this time than your 2023 version!). Hopefully I'll see your review of the BMW I4 or I5 soon (I wrote to you previously with this recommendation). I'll see you on the next ride!
I like the Accord! Not bad looking. And 5:40, I’d like to see a dual slash-cut exhaust, like how the Dodge Charger used to have, or maybe a quad-tip which would look sick! Anything would be fine with me. And about the MPG’s, it’s a massive plus! When comparing this to the Camry, I personally think the Accord is better in terms of the fuel mileage, so I’d definitely take this even though I’m more of a Toyota fan than Honda!
Enjoyed the backstory of the cannolis and you being from the great state of NY. Agreed a zonk for no all-wheel drive option and no dual exhaust in a "Sport" model. An Accord is always a solid choice, however so is a Camry, may be worth waiting for the Camry if that's your thing. Additionally dealer installed pinstripes went out in the '90's.
Thanks for letting me share it with you! I totally agree about the pinstripes.
The reason why there’s no USB and no rear vents in the back on the sport model is to keep the cost down. On the EX model there should be rear vents at least.
Not a whole lot of love for this car in the comments, but people will buy it regardless because they trust the brand.
Man silver and black color scheme makes every car look so freakin good
Unfortunately, not this one.
I love the front, I love the rear, but they make me feel like I'm looking at a different car from each angle. And the body lines are so boring, they clearly pushed extra hard for that executive look. The interior is still a nice space to be in, but like others have said the ex-l is the best bang for your buck trim.
In my opinion I feel like the camry took a similar approach albeit to a lesser extent. It still looks less sporty, and the new grill is awful no matter what trim you look at it in, but it still retains familiarity, unlike the accord.
I love the all New Honda Accord Sport & even though it looks good & I feel like this is the Apostle to the Midsize Sedans. Now yes, it's not all wheel drive on any trim but looks.
Thanks for this one
You are so very welcome!
@@Brian_Eugene_LeeI’m so glad that you think so
im really waitng for 2025 camry fully loaded to released so i can be the first one to own it.
Previous generation definitely looks a lot better
Question: i want to buy one to last me 20 years. If the electric battery/motor portion just stops working or being efficient bc of age, would the car still work fine? Does it HAVE to be replaced/fixed? Idk if I’m making sense. I just want a NA 4 cylinder. The reliability is what im after
get yourself a 1994 Honda Accord. i know a former classmate who has nearly 300,000 miles on it and he can't drive right. it's already 30 years old, what's another 20? older Accords are like tanks.
I’m glad you zonked the lack of rear seat amenities 😂
If we’re talking about style I think they keep getting worse each generation, kinda sad but last gen was starting to grow on me.. this just looks like a police interceptor. I’d take the 2014-2015 Honda accord sports any day
Last generation wasn't bad at all for the Accord.
Not gonna lie this car drives super good like a carpet . Don’t judge a book by its cover
no doubt a good driver,,,,,but the styling is kinda surprising,,,,,that front end to me is unhonda-ish,,,,would'nt be enough for me not to buy though
Yes of course Joe & this is my new first car.
Still lying.
Miss the 2.0 Turbo
My brother had the first Accord back in the 70s and I think that thing was smaller than a Honda Fit. Back then it was known as an upscale Japanese car.
I have the 2018 Camry XSE white pearl red interior glass roof...sorry Honda missed the mark and the new Camry is growing on me and yet I would still choose the 2025 Camry over this Honda
I like the front end better than the rear. I have the previous Gen Accord w the 2.0T, and love it so much. The reduction of power on the new one is a turn off, unfortunately. Wish they would've kept that power train on the new Gen. My current accord feels pretty big, I am surprised they made the new one bigger😑. Overall, I'm glad I got the 10th Gen w the 2.0t, Plenty of passing power and feels very nice to drive.
I have 2010Honda Account 3.5 EXl . Great reliable vehicle. Planning to keep forever 😂
Are you supposed to drive in ECOn mode in the city and sport mode on a HW or vise versa? I don’t have a Honda just asking in general.
Leave it in Normal Mode most of the time.
Sport Mode when you want some extra power every now and then.
Turn off Econ mode while city driving. It’s really for the highway or for when there is minimal stop-and-go traffic. There have been tests (and also from personal experience of three Hondas that my family owns) where fuel economy goes down while Econ mode is on while driving in the city.
You are actually causing the vehicle/engine to work harder when Econ mode is on due to the vehicle trying to accelerate from a dead stop.
(Accelerator is more difficult to press when it’s on, so just imagine you forcing the pedal / pressing harder when you shouldn’t have to.)
Sport mode at all times!
Well damn!!! one guy in a video I watched replied to me and told me to put it in ECON mode in the city and sport mode on the highway but didn't explain why...Thanks for this info it was very helpful. No more ECON in the city.@@absalomstar7085
love my 2019 sport 2.0. Honda took a step back with the new body style
I like the dash except for the “I Pad” sticking up so high. AWD would be a nice option also.
At first I hated the new design of the Accord. But then my beloved 2015 Accord Sport got totaled and it kept me alive so I bought another 😅. I really love my 2023 Accord Hybrid Touring. I avg about 50 miles MPG.
Not crazy about the style I like the previous style better, need all wheel drive especially up in the north east big zonk. Great review Joe!!
You are not the first to say that!
I just got mine like three weeks ago. shit is nice for regular commute car. shit hits 48mpg on the highway..
What color you get I like the urban grey
Is there an official release date for Camry? Initially it was said spring, now you are saying summer???
Interior is great and the hybrid is a nice option. Wish the look was a bit more inspiring and the 2 l turbo was still available.
I like that red accord that's sitting in the row behind raiti
Good eyes on that one Daryl!
Thanks Joe for the honest review on this new Accord. I for one am not a fan of this new generation The poor styling on the exterior especially the front end, very cheap looking. Also the lack of the rear AC vents, what were they thinking? The only thing I like is the new dash and the infotainment screen but thats it. Also the lack of the 2.0T and 10 speed is huge disappointment.
I like to see what isn’t in the frame do a review on those white civics over your left shoulder please
I think these new Honda design is absolutely gorgeous ❤️
That is so fantastic.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that none of the 2024 Accords offer satellite radio or a height adjustable passenger seat. Either would be deal breakers for out family. And although this review mentions the quiet cabin, I have seen numerous complaints about road noise.
Camry is better for me. The new Accord is very boring to me in terms of design.
You are definitely not the only one feeling that way!
I bet this thing would look great on some slightly lowered suspension and a size down wheel diameter/meaty sidewall
Honestly I been seen a lot of new Honda accords on my neighborhood. And yes the style look has growth towards me and people in my neighborhood😂.
I like the Camry but in the NYC area they are used a lot as taxis. Don’t wanna be at a red light and someone tries to hop in the back seat thinking it’s a cab 😂
LOL You are hilarious!
Just got a 24 sport L in this color. New Camry looks nice but I still like the interior on the Honda better.
I like the way this car looks.
It needs a lower lip spoiler, side skirts, widened fenders front and rear, and rear diffuser. There you go!
Great review. Question is: when is the new camry coming out?
Summer
11:15 I’ve tried a cannoli pancake at IHOP once, they sound really good! I shall try it out if owning the Accord Sport 😎
It’s the little things in life! 😂
14:15 That’s a HUGE zonk here! We’re definitely gonna have to zonk it!
@@RaitisRidesAbsolutely! 😂
Thinking of buying a Honda Accord?
I have a 2006 Honda Accord (6 cyl/2 door). I purchased it new from Largo Honda, then located at their original location. I purchased it the day I got out the hospital after an major surgery and a post-op near death experience. At the dealership, I was still wearing hospital provided scrubs. My wife wanted me to buy a 4 door, but I prevailed with "Vera, this will probably be my last car." Well, so far, with 126,000 miles on it, it has met that challenge. Florida 2006-2023; NJ 2023 -??? It's now just shy of 18 years old.
This past year I has it repainted and new headlight lenses put in. The not-so-well selected leather used in the seats has long since worn out and re-upholstered(Florida sun doing its nasty work as well). It has no rust whatsoever, save a 2022 repair on the spare tire well(water leakage).
I regularly get compliments on the car, and notes("Are you selling this? Please call me"). My mechanic(now here in Plainfield NJ) this past year replaced a transmission seal and some engine mounts, also offered to buy it. It still gets 18-22 mpg, as it did when new.
My Honda has save my life twice. In 2023, I was travelling at above 70 on I95(South Carolina), inside lane, when a large box truck quickly started overtaking me, I signaled to enter the outside lane, but was too slow for the probably asleep trucker. My next glance in the mirror saw only the truck's one headlight about to hit me. I accelerated, all 6 cylinders gave their all, and I made it safely ahead and into the right lane. Not so the truck....it kept going by me, drifted to to left gravel, then grass, then bushes. My mirror's eye view showed it sitting stopped and upright in the bushes. In 2020, I was driving south with my wife on a rural part of Florida's Treasure Coast's 4-lane, US 1. A older large white pick-up came along side of us, with the passenger giving me "the finger" and pointing to the political flag waving from the truck bed mount. Then the pick-up's driver swerved to drive me off the road(I suspect they didn't like my political candidate on our Honda's bumper sticker). I skidded to a stop as the truck pulled in front of me. I hit the gas hard, crossed the grassy median strip and headed back North, leaving the truck and occupants in the Honda's dust.
If I get a new car, it will be a Honda, probably the 4 door sport model. My old bones are no longer welcoming lowering myself to a 2-door coupe's lower seats.
That is so fantastic to hear Robert!
I feel like if this car came out in 2018, it would be one of the hottest cars in the market. Now, cars are matching that MPG, with a better design, updated specs, and higher performance. Low HP, the lack of AWD, no sunroof, and lack of overall technology is just unacceptable. Like always, I do have to give Honda props for the cabin
Excellent points to point out Phil.
Joe, what do you think is the best mid size sedan on the market right now?
I will wait for the refresh.
Y’all should see it at night. It looks glorious but yeah it doesn’t look too aggressive but a bit more stately
Joe, it needs a forward-facing camera for me to buy it.
Accord sales have been down several thousand units per month the last year, and it's not all due to parts shortages. I think a lot of people are still disappointed with the styling and won't buy it. Honda will need to do a refresh by 2025 or the Accord may sink in sales the point that Honda may consider dropping it. Civics are outselling Accords by 3000-5000 per month. Redo the front design, Honda. Great job to Joe and Stephen for another great review!
I feel like they didn’t out any effort into the styling, have seen one with the cladding all painted, actually looked a lot nicer, but the car still doesn’t look like a new car to me.
If Honda has not fixed the issues with the 1.5t, please do not buy this vehicle. Oil dilution, Head gasket failures, AC condenser. These are known to fail. Oh and fuel injectors. Mine failed at 19k miles. Get a Camry. Car reviewers typically review brand new cars and then discard. You’ll have to live with it. That’s a different ballgame.
I'm wondering if I can hold my breath long enough waiting for a return of the 6MT??? ...WRX is looking like a winner ... or even a GLI or ...my kingdom for a car that is fun to drive ...
