Even though it wasn't a v6, but the 2.0 turbo was one hell of a motor. Shame they didnt keep it. Could have added the hybrid system to that engine.
2.0 turbo is definitely a heck of a motor. Lot of people who have the 2.0 in the accord modify it as it’s very similar to the type R motor in the civic.
They did it so they can put that engine+transmission into the integra type S or other Acura lines. Was glad to pick up a 2.0t such a beast of a motor with affordable mods.
My thoughts exactly
@@spooks1046 I'm sure the accord smoking the tlx on every test had something to do with it, lol
Maybe a more powerful hybrid is in the works
The 10th gen looks way more sportier and just as new as the 11th. The 11th looks like a Passat
💯
Very true
fr. Front just looks like a Taurus and I definitely dig the 10th gen better. I own one and blacked out the smoked grill (have the 2.0t sport) and it looks 10x better
I have 2018 2.0 turbo and I wouldn’t change for the new one I hate more piano black
😂😂😂😂.passat
The 10th gen Accord's exterior will probably always be my favorite. The Front end is so stately and modern. 👏👏👏👏
Yeah the front looks good but the back is bad imo, the 9th gen looks better as for the tail lights design
I disagree Roman. The redesign from the 9th to 10th generation was most definitely revolutionary. On the contrary, the redesign from 10th to 11th generation is evolutionary.
I agree
I prefer the more 3-box styling of the 9th gen. This sportback/liftback look is just not for me.
Well stated.
9th gen (more the 2013-2015) best looking accord hands down. 9th look with 11th gen interior would be a perfect car IMO..... And with a V6
@@ragweedmakesmesneeze Agree. The 10th and 11th gens don’t look like the classic Accord 3 box style. I prefer the old.
I think Honda did a phenomenal job of redesigning the Ford Focus.
Focus dont u mean taurus
He means outside it looks like a Taurus, and the inside, a Focus.
I think the last gen Accord looks better when you black out that chrome in the front. And the jewel eye headlights look better and they are definitely the best headlights I've ever used ( I got a 21 RDX, same jewel eye design )
It looks a bit funky with the chrome fully blacked out. It works well if the car is black, but otherwise it looks like some kid just put too much black on his car to look cool. It just doesn’t look quite right.
That's what I'm saying! Someone in my city has a blacked out 10th gen, and it's gorgeous. The front kinda reminds me of a Dodge Charger, which I love, and the taillights look super clean when smoked. The 11th gen looks too rounded and reminds me of a Ford Taurus.
I hate the chrome part.
Fully agree. The 10th gen had the BEST headlight design in its segment. And the black chrome front piece really stands out in a good way!
They’re not jewel eye headlights, they’re laser headlights. There are no individual projectors.
So glad I bought a 22 touring with the 2.0T. Had a 2015 exl v6. If your going to offer a fully loaded sedan you have to offer the power to match. They will loose a lot of repeat customers because of a lack of a premium engine.
Agreed. I have a 2015 V6 elx and I wanted to go to the new 2023 but because no 2.0t it's a hard pass for me. Looking to go for a 2020 gs 350 f sport or 2022 IS 350 now
@@brandenrios3940 GS is better than IS. I have a 2019 GS and sat in an IS 350 at a dealer. The IS was cramped inside and the interior quality is a step below my GS
@@little123456788 Another sedan that I think should’ve gotten a “next-generation” model - the Lexus GS.
I agree. I had a 2019 Civic hatch EX before upgrading to a 2022 2.0T accord sport and luckily I secured one before this new generation. For me at least carry it over the 2.0T with the 10 speed for this new generation.
This one is 0.9 seconds slower than the 2.0t and 0.5 seconds slower than the old v6. It's a full second faster than the outgoing hybrid. Not as bad as I was thinking honestly. (0-60)
I prefer the old body style and wheels. My wife wanted a non hybrid and got last years 2.0T. That engine is fun especially in sport mode.
This has to be one of the most disappointing Accords almost just as bad as the 08-12 model
@@cameronb3834 I agree- the 08-12 sedans weren’t good but the coupe body style of that generation looked great imo
The 10th looks better sad 11th ok
I get that the 2.0T engine did not sell anywhere near as well as the 1.5T or Hybrid (basically because it was $4k more), but they really should have kept it. The 2.0T made it a segment killer. Without it, it's ho hum.
They didn’t push the 2.0 people didn’t know the difference. I got the 2.0 and it’s a beast
I never wanted anything but a 2.0
Can’t keep products around that nobody buys: have to redirect the budgets and resources and sell things. You would be fired as CEO right away for those kinds of decisions. Can’t manage based on emotion or personal desire.
1.5t has head gasket and oil delusion issues. 2.0T powertrain has been pretty reliable. As a ceo you should be fired if you keep unreliable products.
My 9th gen six speed hits 100,000 miles tomorrow on the way to work. Flawless. Love the accord.
What year is the 9th generation?
Previous gen looks sportier, this gen looks good too just a little toned down. Sad to hear about the decrease in power, but I will say that's a nice blue color on the accord, reminds me of Mazdas crystal blue mica on Mazda 3
The 2022 is way better looking than the 2023, especially the front-end design. The 2023 Accord reminds me of the last Ford Fusion. The interior of the 2023
is nicer than the 2022 Accord. I'll take the 2022 Accord over the 2023 Accord and call it a day. Make mine the 2.0 (Turbo) Sport 6 speed manual. Thank you very much!
To be honest the front end design of the Fusion was gorgeous.
But that design is from 2013, Honda nailed the design with the Accord 2018 and we received a downgrade with the new Accord 2023.
@@rolasleyva8602 That's it!
The 10th generation looks good. The new one has no curves. Looks bland although over all it looks nice at certain angles and it will grow on us. The CVT and the low power are killers. They should atleast offer two versions of it.
I agree.I currently own a 22 accord sport 2.0t and I dig the wheels better than the newer 11th gen accord sport wheels too. It sucks also because the hybrid had a 10 speed on the 10th gen and they went backwards and put a ecvt on the new hybrid which is no bueno.
@@Makingwaves_123 The hybrid 10th gen did not have a 10 speed, it was also an ECVT. All of Honda's Hybrids have used ECVTs with 3 exceptions. The exceptions to this are the Acura RLX sport hybrid, MDX sport hybrid, and NSX.
@@Xaver-kk8fr interesting thanks.
NO!
I personally think the body of the 10th generation looks nicer but the interior on the 11th looks better
I disagree with the switch back to a gear shifter from push button transmission. I have a 2020 Accord Hybrid and don't mind the buttons, but more importantly, push buttons don't get in the way of drinks in the cupholders or access to the USB chargers like the stick shifter does. The stick shifter is purely a tactical conceit for people who like to grab on to it. Big shifters are a waste of space.
YES, THIS!! I have a 2019 Insight and LOVE the push button transmission. No gear shifter to bump into when trying to access the cubby area where I store my phone. I don’t understand why people are so stuck on the gear shifter. I can push the buttons by feel without even looking at it.
The 2.0 and 3.5 V6 will shoot up in value I guarantee you. Long live the Honda Accord regardless of engine.
Only the low mileage ones and untouched ones
Bought a 2014 V6 EX-L last year with 52,000 miles. De-activated the VCM garbage, tinted the windows and got myself a sweet ride now. I thought I paid too much at the time but I'm finding out I actually got a steal.
@@brentbeardsley655 so you riced out your Honda
@@ormand3000 nah, the VCM causes oil leaks and engine mount issues. It's the gun metal grey color and the tint just makes it look upscale. No other mods.
@@brentbeardsley655 yeah you riced out your Honda.
I feel very lucky to have gotten my 2022 Accord in December. It was the only Accord on the lot and has the 2.0T engine. First Honda I've ever had, but I can see why they have such a loyal fanbase.
Great video. Wow, the price for an Accord is 30ish to 40ish- prices had gone up dramatically. I remember back then, a fully loaded Accord was only 20s something.
Back in 1990, my dad paid $15k for his LX, traded in an ‘87 LXi with a 5 speed manual.
@@jaysson1151 1990 Accord was nice, so many friend had it lower and add sound system.
2019 I paid $23k for mine.
2016 my Sport was $24k
my 2007 was 32k 😮
I just picked up the 2022 Touring 2.0 and I got to say, everytime I drive the car, it puts a smile on my face. The turbo charge power is just amazing. The new one looks ok but to me, the 10th gen is still better. If you black out the chrome, it turns to a different beast. A Honda dealer had one recently with the premium black package and they listed it for $58k. Within 2 weeks, the car was gone and I was like omg....
You can buy the black package from College Hills Honda and install it yourself.
A Honda Accord for 58k!? Wtf...
The 2.0 engine is crazy, and it has the handling to match.
You made a good choice.
These new ones look so bland.
@@rubenbarrera7338 thanks! how Honda went from the 10th Gen to 11th Gen is just baffling.. the exterior is not exciting at all.. I watched a youtube video from a dealership on the new Accord and even the sales person said they've seen alot of people not liking it. I think grandpas and granmas will enjoy this for sure
It has an “E-CVT”. Ask Alex on autos. He’s great at explaining how they work in the Toyota and Honda hybrids.
Wished they somehow should have integrated the led bulb jewel pattern for the new one from the old one instead of older one lamp style like.
I was going to buy a '23 Accord with the 2.0T engine until I learned in November '22 that the 2.0T option had been nixed. I was extremely disappointed and still am. However, I picked up a Certified Pre-Owned '21 Accord Touring 2.0T with 4k miles on it and am very pleased. I will keep this car for a while and honestly don't know what my next car will be. I've owned nothing but Honda/Acura vehicles since 1985. I really hope Honda comes back to their senses and offers a better performing Accord. The 10th generation with the 2.0T is such a good, complete package. I know that the masses would prefer fuel economy over an exhilarating driving experience but now we have no choice. It's 204 hp or buy from another manufacturer if you want more power.
People who want fast are going electric so that is the general trend.
@@davevolz6138 Not necessarily true. The really fast electric cars are still quite pricey. I'm not looking for Corvette like performance, just good, strong, better than average acceleration. My '21 Accord Touring 2.0T has a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds. The new top Accord does the job in 7.2 seconds. That's a huge difference in the real world.
Over all I like the previous gen Accord.
Especially since you have a variety of powertrains
I searched for and bought a new 2020 1.5T Sport with the 6spd, before it became apparent that Honda had stopped building them with manuals. They were few and far between when I was looking in early 2020, I never saw the 2.0L/6spd unicorn come through any of my nearby dealers. So glad I found this one though- it's not the 2L motor but it's a lot of fun with the manual. And it's surprisingly efficient-- I get 39+ mpg on road trips. Granted, it did have a valve cover leak at 16k miles (repaired under warranty), so I'm a little worried about its longevity compared the old days of being able to unapologetically pile miles onto Hondas...
I will always drive a sedan, as long as I can. I hope Honda and Toyota will continue to make them.
Me too 👍
There days are numbered.!
Same
I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of the 11th gen regarding its appearance. The 10th gen, in my opinion, is much shaper looking. Also, the interior is a step back as well. Taking away the faux wood and replacing it with the honeycomb cheapens the look and makes it less classy. I'm sure, though, that the tech in the 11th gen will be an improvement over the 10th, which is abysmal. And don't get me started on automakers' insistence on going full electric. Hopefully, by then, you'll be able to charge it as fast as you can fill up a car with gas. If I didn't have a 10th gen already and was in the market, I'd be skipping this car, and I've owned Hondas exclusively since 1995!
Great review! Love this channel. Also, those two Honda Accords are very beautiful.
Super excited when you said Redline Review's Sofyan was in the background making his own review. So wholesome!
The transmission mystery is just a marketing thing. I think the tranny classifies as a CVT but in essence, it is a direct drive transmission with a lock-up clutch from what I understand. All the honda hybrids have had this transmission for a while. Basically, the motor is just a generator, not powering the wheels until around 40 so MPH, when the clutch locks up the wheels to the motor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's how it works.
Toyota has something similar, it's still a cvt but with a real launch gear so it feels quicker from a stop
Thanks for the great explanation.
@@TFLcar no problem
I'm really kicking myself in the butt for not buying that 2.0T with a 6MT.
I'd rather have the new Prius than the new Accord now 😟
It amazes me how fast this segment shrunk, in terms of the number of vehicles offered. Just a couple years ago, there were so many more choices in the midsize sedan segment.
I prefer sedans over SUVS any day of the week
Hell Yeah! You're the 1st accord video 🔥
Awesome video thanks
Great review once again, but I'll be hanging on to my 2021 Accord Touring 2.0t for a long time to come. I get Honda wanting to head down the electric path, but I believe the 10th Accord sold so well in part, because of the 2.0t engine. Especially, with offering the 6sp manual with the 2.0t from 2018 to 2020. It's also disappointing Honda is using piano black in the 11th gen interior, because the 10th has none. I will say the 11th is still a really nice Accord, especially for the price.
How many miles do you have on your 2.0T? I’ve been wanting to get into a newer accord as I’ve got a 6th generation with the V6 and love it but would like a bit newer car.
I just bout a 2021 touring 2.0 and absolutely love it! Test drove the new 22 1.5 se and touring is definitely the way to go.
Sadly they didn't sell that many 2.0s so that's why they went the hybrid route
I'd love to see that 2.0 in a 2 door civic with a manual or the auto out of the accord in your car . That could replace my 17 accord coup touring v-6 !
Same. I got mines last may and that 2.0t is just awesome.
The interior is nice and the exterior is simple and luxury looking, but I still don't see my self trading my 2021 accord 2.0t red for any off the 2023 trim levels. I think in my opinion the 18-22 accord look more muscular and lexury from the exterior and interior is simple and nice looking still.
It is not a belt driven CVT, but the gas motor still feels decoupled from the transmission because a lot of the time it runs as a serial hybrid- the gas motor is just a generator (and you get instant torque). It also locks into one of two ratios, and at those points feels like a traditional transmission.
The new hybrid doesn’t have a real transmission. It has an electric counter turning motor so the difference is the drive speed.
The situation with the transmission is exactly the same as it was in your 9th gen accord hybrid you reviewed, FYI. No transmission in a traditional sense. Electric motor is powered by either batteries, gas generator or both, and moves the car under most loads. Only when the car is cruising does it engage a clutch pack to connect the 2.0L directly to the wheeks.
Yes, Alex on Autos did a good piece on this.
Great review👌👌👌
Roman- First review of yours I've seen.Excellent.Tks to you and videographer.Loved the comparison between '22 & '23. A broad smile when I saw shifter handle iso buttons.I love my '15 Mazda 3 6-spd but ready to go hybrid.Civic hybrid due out in summer but think mid size will be more comfortable.I'll check some of your other videos but hope/think '23 or '24 in my future.Rick/78/Seattle🤓
About 5 years ago, I got wireless Carplay and a front camera with an aftermarket radio in my Accord. These are must-have features at this point. CVT is a must not-have. 😅
@Fahrvergnugen certainly agree with that. My cousin has a 9th gen hybrid with the CVT and they have 140k miles with no problems. I’d be skeptical with Nissan’s CVT’s as they used to have a lot of problems but Honda’s CVT I think is a lot better.
Cvts have come a long way people need to stop hating
I am sorry but the push buttons were waaaaaaaaaay better then the shift knob with out a doubt. I love the push buttons. Feels more upscale. Super easy. Plus it doesnt get in the way of anything. The Shift knob gets in the way and is annoying.
I totally agree!
I had a ‘76 Accord new. That thing was awesome!
I've got the 2023 Civic hybrid in Europe and it has the e-CVT. I'm very happy with it and I'm getting around 50 mpg US on a long motorway run and 125mpg in the city. Very happy with it.
I can’t wait until they bring that to the U.S
I personally think the best looking generation is still the 9th (2012-2017). This and the last aren’t bad, but theyre not amazing. The wheels were also better from the Sport or Touring trim.
I do think it’s sad they don’t have the 10 speed with the 2.0 turbo. I wonder if sales don’t go well if they’ll consider adding it back or if it’ll come later.
Especially the two doors V6 with the hfp package.
The 2.0T and v6 only represented a 5-10% of Accord sales
@@reyperez3424 Yes, but was such an incredible engine and transmission choice.
2013
Wish I was able to get the coupe V6 when they used to sell it but happy with my 2.0t accord sport.
All honda had to do was give a more updated rear end on the 10th generation, wait another 2 years, the release a whole new redesign. This design they seemed to rush and it's not great at all. Now I'll just wait to see what the 2024 Camry will look like.
Please to do a 2022 2.0 vs 2023 2.0 drag race, just curious about the performance loss to get the 44 mgp
I understand the 2.0 of 10 gen did not sell well.
Definitely prefer the previous generation. The new is more akin to a Ford Taurus in styling.
Tossing aside the 2 liter turbo was a big mistake. Otherwise it’s a fine sedan that offers a great looking interior.
You’re right. It lost me as an owner of the previous generation with the 2.0T. When I turn in the lease this year it won’t be for this one without that engine
The previous one looks significantly more classier,it feels expensive unlike the newer one
The push button shifter was one of the best parts of the GEN10 Accord. The only reason to not like it is that you don't want to learn something new, even if it takes maybe driving the car three times to do so. Lazy reviewers convinced drivers that they shouldn't like it, so they don't try, either.
The stick you love so much doesn't do anything except actuate the same switches that the buttons did. With one exception: the stick has go be in the "P" position for the car to be in park. With the buttons, they can be software controlled. The GEN10 can shift automatically into Park, and release and apply the parking brake automatically.
So in a typical drive, I need only four button presses:
1) I press the power button to start the car.
2) Without looking, I swipe my hand down along the button array. The "R" button is recessed, so this action finds it and presses it. Pressing the accelerator releases the parking brake.
3) After backing out of my driveway, I press the "D" button which is easy to find by feel, as it has a raised rim.
4) While the drive is over, I press the power button to shift into Park, apply the parking brake, and turn the car off.
Three-point (or five, or seven) turns are trivial, since the position of the "R" and "D" buttons allow them to be operated pretty much as a rocker switch.
What about adaptive dampers in drive modes? Did Honda drop the adaptive suspension dampers in the new Accord Touring?
I've been waiting to see the new Accord👌👍
I wanna like the new accord but I can't, the previous model was a great looking vehicle.
I am a 10th gen touring owner, one thing you failed to mention is the the 2023 touring has Bose speakers and the 10th does not. My 2 big complaints is the sound system and push button transmission. My touring is a 2018 with the 1.5T (only year it was available) with no push button trans with an automatic
You’re crawling in there like my dad would haha ! Love rob!
Wow, so many things to dislike about this new gen - No fog lights, no 2.0T, no 10-speed, Google maps instead of Garmin, larger than it's predecessor, no spare tire, and a very generic looking front end. I'm so glad I bought a 2021 2.0T Touring last year. I will definitely be holding on to it as long as possible.
Fantastic comparison, I’ll take the 10th generation. It definitely has more character.
We were able to put a twin size mattress into the trunk (and over the folded down rear seats) of our 2016 Mazda6. And it had no impact on the position of our front seats
Frankly, I was amazed. We were able to shut and lock the trunk. The mattress fit between the hinges while laying flat
Very nice comparison 👌
Considering Honda keeps raising their prices, this is a shame......
No hydraulic hood lift support.
No V6 or any engine that offers 250hp+
No Fog Lights.
Headlights and backlights look cheap. Solid line on a headlight looks worse IMO. Bring back the 9th gen version.
Rims look like they belong on a 2015 Civic.
19 inch wheel base - too bumpy for daily driving.
They did the same thing to the 2023 CRV!!! It looks like a rental car. I have a 2022 CRV Touring and keeping it until the wheels fall off.
Damn 2022's design is so elegant.. better than 2023's
Accord hybrid has used 2 motor single gear ratio with overdrive clutch. Has had it since 2013 and has not changed much since. Would not expect anything different in the new body. The old ones were also called cvts.
I think they should have done a lot more with the front view design for the new model. the Old models front looks more aggressive and bold
I think the new one has to grow on us like the 10th gen did….when it first came out, majority felt the same about it as well.
I liked the 10th gen from the start. This 11th gen is just straight up ugly asf
@@jaxology276 well majority of buyers love this
No it won’t. The 10th gen was completely new . This is literally a Passat . It won’t grow on anyone except grandparents
@@flavioa6351 guess what you’re the only one complaining. Majority of accord buyers love this and in a recent article people have been requesting Honda to keep making accords
@@Jimy273 lmao what? Go to any comment section on UA-cam and it’s all people complaining about how ugly it is and how it doesn’t have the 2.0T
The 9th gen with the v6 was still the best, but I do prefer the swingline stapler accord to the new one that looks like a passat from the rear and the grumpy old man from up in the front
@@allentoyokawa9068 it’s an opinion you ‘loof’
Awh he deleted the comment
Got a 2014 V6 EX-L. The last of the Honda V6 NA. De-activated the VCM. Only has 54,000 miles and plan on keeping it till the wheels come off. Might be the last great Honda engine.
Yeah I agree for the most part. I like the 9th gen for the V6 and the 10th gen for the styling. The 11th gen? Nah. The interior and infotainment is nice, though
TFL, I saw you doing this video behind the scenes in Kirk Kreifels review. Lol.
Great video! Honda should bring back the manual transmission on the accord sports
I leased a 22 Civic hatchback at the end of 2021 so next year when my lease is up I think I’m going to buy a used 10th gen Accord. I just think it looks better in my opinion. Plus my civic has so many creeks and rattles I don’t know if the new accord would be any better.
Civic’s are usually more cheaply built, and my experience with the accords is they’ve always been built a little bit better than a civic.
No matter what trim, the 11th gen has a very subtle look to it. The sport trim should look more aggressive but it’s fails in that.
I don’t know about the Subaru , but it seems the accord is the only sedan that you can’t get a panoramic sunroof.
Yeah, I agree, but it really isn't a true Accord sport without the V6 or even the 2.0t.
Never been a sedan guy, but I can see how this will appeal to folks that want a small, economical, reliable vehicle. Not a fan of the black interiors. Manufacturers have to start offering light interior choices for those of us who don’t want to drive in a coffin that is hotter than the surface of the sun in the summer down south.
I don’t believe anyone who says this new accord is better than the 10th Gen Accord. It might look more premium, but no 2.0t/10at makes it absolutely inferior to the 10th Gen.
2023 Prius Prime has 221hp. Good job Honda ..
lol
The V6 will be surely missed.
By enthusiasts yeah, but 80 percent of Accord buyers don’t care
The 10th gen didn't have a v6, it had a 2.0t
There's hasn't been a V6 for an entire generation 😂
V6 with six speed was way to go... RIP. If you want manual Honda now you've got to go with the new Integra, but that only has the lame 1.5L engine no one wants. Hard to believe they aren't offering the 2.0T in the Integra.
I agree. Also, I will miss the 252 hp, turbo four.
"Look at all this room... Agghhh... Oh God..." 😅 Love it.
It has an electric motor (secondary...less powerful than primary electric motor) that does the work of transmission...behaves like transmission (e-cvt). The same motor, I believe works as a generator to recharge battery while breaking. It also decouples from the engine (gas motor) when only battery is being used to turn the drive shaft. There is no separate transmission.
Definitely an e-CVT. The behavior of the ‘shifts’ would be the biggest indicator. It will feel really close to a CVT especially to those who don’t drive but I would think it would be very apparent between a CVT and this e-CVT (and the sad mpg on the highway ugh)
Like a Toyota with launch gear
It doesn’t have a transmission. It’s driven by the electric motors and the ICE acts as a generator.
I remember when I bought my Honda Accord EX-L back in 2018 at the price of $27.5K.
Apparently those days are long gone...
Now it is $35k plus tax for EX-L Hybrid.
He exaggerated the prices, this starts at 27 and ends at 38.
Hopefully prices go down when dealers discount again
Cars, houses... everything is damn expensive nowadays.
I guess I just haven't noticed the prices nowadays because I haven't really been in need of a car for the last 4 years.
I’ll keep my 21 Touring 2.0T. With the new touring reaching almost $40k I don’t see value in the new generation accord, sure the interior is updated but does it justify the price hike? I don’t think so, I’d take the rear end over the previous generation but I prefer the previous front end. A bose audio system and larger infotainment display is nice but the previous generation gauge cluster is better. No pano roof either or 360 camera it’s not a necessity but for that price it’s disappointing not to have it. Honda hybrids seem to also underperform on their MPG as advertised I can achieve 33-37 MPG in my 2.0T on the highway only downside is city driving but I’d rather have the extra power. Overall I think it’s underwhelming.
I feel exactly the same way. I have the 2021 2.0t touring. Hard to go to something that looks like this 11 gen
Your channel is very special
I personally like the 2022 accord my dad owns the touring version I guess whenever he is done with it I’ll buy it from him. This 2023 looks like a RSX & Audi a7 it’s not a bad looking car but the 10th gen looks freaking goooooood
2023 is ugly man. Be honest. It looks like a bootleg kia k5 base
@@Theshootfashion I agree whenever my dad gets rid of his accord I’ll buy his I don’t want the new one.
This is the first time I've ever saw an Accord with 1 map pocket in the back of the front seats. That's crazy that they cheapened this.
I've seen many newer cars where they've done this. It blows my mind that they would remove something so cheap, simple, and useful
@@jamesreno3321 Exactly the Acura Integra also has 1 map pocket instead of 2. These were the norm for the compact sedans but never luxury or mid sized.
Who uses maps anymore?
@Sajomo you can put a lot more than just maps. It's nice to have more storage in general
When you realise that old one looks totally new and new looks already dated😂
100% ! The 2022 is way better car & style.
The 2023 Honda is UGLY & looks like a base kia k5
Not paying 40k for a accord when I bought mine for 25k brand new 2 years ago lol
I’m keeping my 2.0 EX-L foreva eva! 🙌🏾 although new infotainment 🔥🔥🔥
I really loved the 10th gen. I have tried, but I don't like the 11th gen at all. The more I see it, the uglier it gets.
Yep. Holding on to my 10th gen.
I agree. Ford Fusion DNA!
It's definitely a hard pass for me. Especially no panoramic roof offering..Honda has officially lost its magic.
For sure, other countries got the panoramic sunroofs
No it's hasn't, it still is a reliable brand. You want all these luxuries which you can live without.
@EchoAccord1216 I can get luxury amenities in other brands. Even Toyota has a panoramic roof in their Camry so what's your excuse now about luxury amenities?
@@EchoAccord And please don't tell me what I can live without on a vehicle that I KNOW for sure I can get from their rivals. Thank you very much.

@Allen Toyokawa Your Mother spreads eagle for the whole community and NO ONE cares! 🤷🏿♂️
Hard to believe that designers are still adding black plastic everywhere. For that reason alone, I much prefer the old interior with the fake, but good looking wood strip across the front.
Never push down on a Honda hood to close it. You can just drop it from around 12 inches and it will close neatly. I have seen hoods with deformations from palm pushes.
Love the new design of the Accord. I have had a 2004 Accord EX with a 5-speed manual for 17 years and it still drives great! Honda has always made amazing cars and I am happy to see they are continuing the Accord lineup. Although I am sad they removed the manual trans, but I suppose not many know how to drive them anymore so kind of makes sense. Not many of us crazy manual transmission people out there these days. Thanks for the great video! Keep up the great work!
Save the Manuals. I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX with the 5 speed Manual with 370,000 miles on it. The body is mint and runs great. I will never
part with it.
looks great - almost acura/audi mash up
Everyone copy's Audi design. Its some of the best in the car business.
We have a 19 Accord, not one surface has that gross shiny black plastic and it's awesome!
Love my touring 2.0 will never get rid of it!
I like the old one
I’ll be keeping my 2020 Honda Accord Sport 1.5 T
One of the best cars I have owned.
I’ve had it 3 years and loving it
Honda probably mean "no CVT" in the sense of a component; the effective drive ratios are created by the electric motors' rotational speed and direction.
There are two direct engine lockups - on that operates at lower speeds and another that operates at higher highway speeds.. I have a Honda Insight, the one lockup will stay engaged until around 82mph - after this the direct link breaks as the engine rpm is too high.. I believe that there are two lockup ratios on this one that will enable it to travel at a faster speed without disengaging - thus giving higher mpgs at higher speeds... The correct "CVT" term for this hybrid engine design is "E-CVT"..
Even with that new change, my 2020 Honda Accors Hybrid base still gets better MPG than any 2023 trim level Hybrid.
I'll stick with my 2017 Accord Touring V6.
The old Accord looks way better than the new one. If I was looking for an Accord, I would rush to the dealership right now and get the old one while they are still in stock.
There is no CVT. Honda uses a two motor / generator system (since 2018). The two motors give a CVT effect, but there is no fully cone system you find in a real mechanical CVT. I had an earlier Accord (non hybrid) with a CVT. I now have the two motor hybrid which feels more like a pure electric car than the CVT Accord ever did.
Would like see the Pilot old vs New
