Sam and I finally see eye to eye on a car review. You must have hit your head during one of those drag races which brought you into the light. Best looking Accord ever, most efficient Accord ever, most comfortable Accord ever, probably just as good handling as any Accord with its rear motion control feature. Only thing I would like is some ambient lighting and auto dimming mirrors on the Touring. As someone who had the 2.0L, it was nice in spurts but it devoured gas in the city if you drove it just a little bit aggressively and suffered in the hot weather. This is what the SH-RLX should have been..RIP (at least we get it's wheel design on the Touring)
I don’t care what you say, the look is way softer looking than the outgoing, looks good, but not as chiseled as the outgoing. Keeping my 2.0T Touring, it’s not offered for the 11th gen, what a shame.
Can't wait to see this 11th gen Accord get annihilated on your drag strip by the competition, even worse than the Acura TLX Type S gets destroyed by its own respective competition. As a mainstream car, which is what the Accord is, it's combination of features/efficiency is pretty much unbeatable. I still think the 10th generation looks much more modern imo. I also will definitely miss the 2.0T engine, and believe it was a mistake for Honda to DC it. 🤷♂️
So you call a V6 camry competiton for the hybrid? The direct conpetition for the Accord hybrid is the Camry hybrid and Sonata hybrid, not the Camry V6 and Sonata N-line. As for the 1.5T Accord, again, direct rivals are Camry 2.5 and Sonata 2.5NA, not the Camry V6 and Sonata 2.0T
@Blank No, I'm strictly referring to the best performing engine (upgrade) available in a model lineup. It's not the other manufacturer's fault Honda can no longer compete, as far as performance goes, like the 2.0T used to.
I see tons of 2.0t. Let's be real honda sells plenty of 2.0ts. The real question is were there 2.0ts made that didn't sell?? I doubt it. This is just business decisions based on the bottom line, the whole argument they just didn't sell is BS It's obvious that a 2.ot model won't sell as much as a base model because of price.

You're saying you don't feel a massive difference in power between this one and 2.0...but this is a 7 sec car and 2.0 Sport is a 5 sec car. I'd argue it's day and night in terms of performance.
This is a 6 second car actually. And the difference isn’t too noticeable in traffic. Especially with the instant torque you get from the dual electric motors. It’s at higher speeds/rpms where the 2.0T eats this alive.
This accord may be the best accord for the masses. But it's not the best accord for me. Guess its used accords for me from now on if I ever get rid of my V6
If you ever want another accord you better be gettin a 2.0t, I got a 22 sport 2.0t a couple months ago and I’ve been having fun with it while also being in serene comfort
I like it, but im gonna have to save up for a car. Hopefully Ill be ready for a new car in 2 years and by then the price of this one will be appropriately lower
Good report. Except does not have a CVT. In fact no transmission at all. The drivetrain is more like a diesel locomotive. The ICE engine drive a dynamo that generates electricity for the drive motor. It does feel like a CVT with it’s infinite ratios. This Honda engineering is unique among hybrids.
@@dakotawoodruff2622 Honda uses that terminology to describe their Powertrain. Maybe a better way of describing this system is to refer to it in terms of a verb, “transmitting” the power from the ICE engine through the electrical generator/battery to the wheels. Automotive transmissions are are actually a noun, a mechanical device between the ICE engine and the wheels. No such device exists in this system. No matter, it is an extremely clever piece of engineering that only Honda uses to simplify the process. Competitors are all using actual physical transmissions to accomplish this, complicating the process. Repeat; the Honda system feels and hears like a CVT to the driver.
Sounds like you are an employee of HTM. Been there many times. If so you probably know that the CVT that Honda uses on many Accords, Civics, and CR-Vs is made at the Anna Engine Plant for several years now. It is considered one of the best CVTs out there. This is an actual transmission using two tapered steel cones connected by a steel belt. Actually this transmission is used on the base non-hybrid ‘23 Accords.
Sam you dont really think this is the best accord ever I mean c'mon. Take away the whole 2.0, V6, coupe stuff. How bout we talk about the accords of the late 80s through 90s with double wishbone suspension, later VTEC in the 90s I mean those are the best.
At least this new front end doesn't look like it's going to turn into a Transformer like most of the cars out there.I,m not twelve years old.Are you twelve years old mullen25.
I'm now 110% convinced Honda paid you guys to say this is the best accord ever. Watched 4 other reviews and the look on their faces saying this is the best accord ever and no more 2.0t says it all. ANYWAYS, I seen it at the auto show in white and it's a nice looking car inside and out. But it's not the best ever, EVER
Great review and a beautiful car, love the radiant red. I’m seriously thinking of getting one of these. It will be a big step up from my 2013 2.4 accord touring which I’m currently driving. My main complaint is no spare tire but this is a real poor man’s luxury automobile.
21 2.0t Touring here bought brand new in Dec 2020. I like the interior of this new one and that is where it stops for me. Come replacement time for the batteries, it’s going to be big $. Extended warranty will not cover that either. It’s on you. Another reason I don’t want a Hybrid. People will be unloading these left and right when it’s time to replace the battery.
No one buying new will care about battery life. Original owners keep their cars 2-3 years. Thats it. Enthusiasts even trade more frequently. I feel sorry for the owners who get stuck down the road.
I have a 2012 insight with 216K on it original battery still runs great. Other than brakes and tries oil changed etc this car hasn't cost me one dime in repairs. It always starts nothing ever breaks - not so far anyway. I saw one of these accords at a dealer the other day and while I agreee the style is kind of a snoozer (I much prefer camry styling) the interior is better tan any other car in the category. The tech is as advanced as you can get at this point, so I'll probably get one of these, mostly because most of my time will be spent inside the car
Honda gives me another reason to switch brands with every new car they release. Next car finally is not going to be a Honda/Acura. Was loyal since 02'.They just no longer give you what u want.
You have raced the 2.0T against several notable cars time after time. And the Accord 2.Ot won hands down several times. I would like to see you put this 11 generation Accord car up against an other competition. Do you hear crickets too??
They absolutely ruined the car for us in the tuning community. you took a sleeper of a car that had the potential to run high 10 or low 11 which some are already doing in a family sedan that's not a sports car is unheard of! Not since the 87 GN and GNX was there such a tuning potential in sleeper making it four doors and not considered a sports car makes it even more of a unicorn! Maybe it'll become like the 87 gn's collectible they didn't produce that many 2.0 liter compared to a 1.5. but you insult our intelligence and put a CVT across-the-board makes the car undesirable
Who in their right mind wants a front wheel drive softly damped, tiny breaks, 11 second car. I have an accord as a daily and own several 10 and 11 second cars but your talking about a market of a few hundred people on a car they sell 100,000s of. The take rate for a 2.0t was like 7 to 8 percent. No market for that but once again a 11s front wheel drive car is a joke.
@@Tireburner7 first of all you're dumb as fuk because that's what they said about the Buick regal which I own why would they make it fast aka the GNA g n x and that was a cold car but people like you wouldn't know your ass from the hole in the ground! Second of all because it's not supposed to be fast it's a f****** sleeper look it up in the dictionary word that means and when you walk beside a Corvette STI mustang GT that supposed to be fast and you wax its ass and they want to know what the f*** happened that just puts a smile on your face and if you're lucky money in your wallet once again you probably have a CVT 1.5! The Accord had a great tuner platform that was the whole idea of the car at family sedan that hauls ass not since the shor they made a four door family car like that remember it's not a sports car dumbass it was a family sedan. Then on top of everything else you might have been to con people into buying the new record if they had a real transmission instead of a bulshit CBT that feels like a sewing machine that absolutely killed that car no one will buy this car
340i and 540i family sedans are still available. Rear drive too. v6 Accords aren’t becoming collectible, and 2.0t won’t either. Especially with fast electrics on the way.
@@davevolz6138 that's what they said about my 87 Buick Grand national they'll be collectible because it's front-wheel drive and what they accomplished of course I left your cars are fast they're Tesla plaid Tesla p100 . But you don't race I erase all the time in Tampa not so much my Accord but my g n in my buddy has a twin turbo coyote that runs high 7 seconds but if I bring my temperature in eration accord out there and we're going to to a race spot and we are messing around and I walk away from them and they're like what the f*** they don't know what happened that's the whole point of that car it was a sleeper it's not expected it's a front-wheel drive car get that through your thick f****** brain that's what makes a sleeper so collectible just like the s h o Taurus front wheel drive manual transmission it is not supposed to be that fast it is a family sedan you don't expect it is not a coyote it's not an STI it's not a Corvette you expect that it's not a scat pack it's not hellcat that's what makes the car special that's why it'll be a collector car whether you want to admit it or not because that is not expected out of that platform
This car looks like a cheap fleet rental vehicle to me - a mix of Chevy Malibu for the back and ford taunts for the front. Inside is plastic fantastic and very monochromatic - A two tone interior goes a long way in making it less boring.
One thing I'd like to see Honda do with the Accord nameplate is to make a liftback/hatchback or wagon version, and call it the Accord Liftour or Accord Hatchtour or Accord Wagontour, but keep the low center of mass found on the existing Accord, Integra, Civic Hatchback, etc. The Stinger is axed, and the Arteon is on the way out, and I'f love to see the Honda do something with the Accord (and TLX) to pick up where the Stinger and Arteon are leaving off, because despite all those dicontinuations, the idea of a car with additional practicality and low center of mass is a highly underrated idea with so much potential.
Last year, Hyundai and Kia said that their current Sonata and K5 will be their last ICE midsize sedans. But then, Chevy made a lasr minute decision to give their Malibu another gen amd Honda's new Accord was not received very well. Do you think that after all that midsize segment news, Hyundai and Kia could give the Sonata and K5 another gen?
Since they are basically going hybrid I hope they give us a 300hp hybrid with awd that will make up for everything imo Just like Toyota prime models 300hp awd
you are missing the point about drag racing, we love the 2.0T because of the avail power and fun to drive, 200 hp for this hi end trim is too low, agree with you that the exterior looks better
I still can't get with the Taurus Malibu design. I've seen images of the upcoming new 2024 Toyota Camry. It will put this new Honda Accord to shame! This is now for IRA retirement pension buyers. The youth and fun of it has officially died!
I don't know, a lot of the renderings I see of the next generation camry look like oversizes Priuses. Pretty sure thats what we'll be reading if thats the look they go with
@Mike Smith The new Prius is now more attractive and sleek looking. If that's the direction they going with, then I take it over this geritol new Accord.
Honda Accord and Toyota Camry’s dominate the cab industry of major cities in the United States. Torcher tested and proven as the main transportation vehicles for over a decade. Checkers then Chevy/Ford, today even Prius out sell cabs. Lift and Uber they are majority. My observation when visiting home, Manhattan.
You didn't watch a single review of this car? Didn't read any reviews of this car? How did you know that saying this is the best Accord ever is an unpopular opinion?
That’s a very good question, I know this because of the comments on Honda’s Canada and US on Insta. I can tell fans didnt like this. Also, my followers on Insta, which I have a lot of Accord fans, complained in my DMs when Honda first introduced this. Cheers
People hate change. The previous gen looked more masculine and when any designer makes it smooth and feminine, the guys complain. Not just Honda but Audi, bmw, etc. This accord looks much different and it will be a few years before the controversy is over .
@@SamCarLegion People hated the looks of those cars initially but at least those cars were fast and fun. Going from a 2.0T Sport at $27000 to a CVT and less horsepower for $27000 is a lot different. And $38000 for the Touring? 204 Hp? You have to agree that is over priced.
@@chrisrobles2012 In a couple of years people are going to say "That was great when the Accord 2.0T went from a 10 speed auto with 252 Hp to a CVT/ECVT with 192/204 Horsepower"?
Great review, as someone who owns a good amount of relatively fast cars(10-11s in the quarter) my 10th generation hybrid is a JOY to daily. The torque from the battery is a monster for that 0 to 20mph blast from stop lights. For how plush it rides, it's superbly damped and handles really well. Barely takes any gas and the second row where my kids sit, make our SUV feel tiny and cramped. Amazing on gas to boot, going 65mph I get about 55mpg. This is a VERY WELL DONE and relevant review. If you're getting a front wheel drive Sedan with a 2 l engine and trying to modify it into a sports car you're seriously doing it wrong and your opinion is invalid(maybe a type r but a accord,no)
i think if you're worried about how people modify their own cars, you have way too much time on your hands. as well you should do a bit of research because its clear you have a immature view of things. major tuning companies invest in these cars and there are leagues that host fwd events. i guess they're wrong as well. your best bet is to stay silent while the grown folks do all the talking
@@kirkvanvranken3560 I guess tireburner telling people what to do with their own cars is grown up enough for you? Don't play yourself kid. Worst part is, you don't even have the ability to make a valid point
The front end and poor rim design throw me off. It needs more interior color options, pano moonroof and a more powerful hybrid option. Otherwise, it's a great car
rear looks way more like an audi. front does look sort of like a taurus because of the grill and headlights shape, but if you see them together the accord is way lower and less angular,
If I were to buy this car it would definitely be in that red color, the other colors are just meh. But I'm not feeling this new Accord therefore I won't be buying. I sat in this car yesterday and besides the space I'm not a fan of the interior especially having copied the civic interior design. This is your flagship sedan I feel like interior should depart a lot more from the rest of your lineup just my opinion. But in any case I don't like the layout of the civic dash interior design therefore I don't care for this Accord interior design.
Your comments are 100% right. I check both Civic and accord, its almost same shit. This review lost him mind. Later i stop my Acura, man TLX is 1000times nicer in and out and quality is superb 👌. This review said he would take acoord hybrid over TLX, he lost his mind.
The accord looks ugly and it doesn’t have the motor everyone wants. I don’t know why every car reviewer keeps saying it’s good. I decided to get a 2023 civic hatchback sport touring last month when I saw how ugly the new accord is
Last gen looked way better. There also is no performance model anymore. I think your unpopular opinion will stay a unpopular opinion lol. The only honda come up was honestly the civic type R. More elegant design and has performance.
It's better than the Legacy. As for the refreshed Sonata, as futuristic and cooll looking as that is, I'm not a fan of how they replaced hard button climate controls with a capacitive panel, and the weird thing is that a few days prior to the Sonata refresh reveal, Hyundai promised to bring back buttons, so Hyundai obviously broke that promise with the Sonata.
The 10th gen looks a lot more like the Civic than the 11th gen. Although any Civic and any Accord has a better rear end than the 10th gen accord. Man that thing is hideous.
Should have not let 2.0T go away. I am such a big fan of 2.0T, that I can have 100% electric car (for small chores/family) and 2.0T only for the driving pleasure. This honda accord, however, is not what I would buy. Not a fan of hybrid, unfortunately! The bigger question is, how to clean those air vents :)
For those arguing "the 2023 Camry has a V6 with a lot more power", are you sure that will carry over to the next gen? Sure, 2.4T may be a thing, but sedans have stricter EPA standards than an equivalent CUV. I think Honda might be working on a more powerful version of I-MMD hybrid (whether just more power or PHEV in the works). As for Toyota, I think their flagship powertrain for the 2024 Camry might either be a more powerful hybrid or a borrow from the Rav4 Prime.
You said, u love everything about the new 11th gen accord..really?! Honestly, there is nothing about the new accord I could fall in love with. Vw and Ford Taurus look and top of that No fog no 2.0 , no aggressive lines , no exhaust tips and the price tag is from 31 to 40 k?!! No thank u , if im going to spend that much dough I rather go with an acura. Period
Unfortunately inflation is here . Acura is always overlayed over the highest trim of Honda . So it only makes sense to get into a base Acura specifically for the design aspect. So either get all the tech and fully loaded Honda , or go for design and get a base Acura . Try to get a fully loaded Acura and you are out of your budget and at the high end. Then people start comparing luxury cars.
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these deficiencies will be resolved.
@@SamCarLegion come on man.. I just don't see you doing a drag race in this car. It's the Accord. The family sleeper.

Finally, I would never give you the business for telling your truths.
The TLX has better styling but the Accord’s interior is way better. Think about it. You’re inside the car more than you are on the outside lol. Overall, i would pick the Accord too
@@Dis2good Well, I agree that you’re inside the car, moreover you’re behind the wheel. Therefore, as a driver I would choose the car with the proper engine, 10-speed transmission and SH-AWD over the FWD hybrid with an E-CVT lol. The Accord’s interior is basically Civic’s interior, the only major difference is a multimedia screen. P.S. I have nothing against the Accord, the nice car overall:)
Not a CVT. Even the e cvt is not a CVT. The screen is the same as the 9 inch in the top trim Civic except bigger. The Civic is a awesome car especially in sport touring trim with the manual transmission. CR-V is also top notch and has the exact same powerplant as this accord which by the way you liked. Incomplete review that left out important facts.
@@ThirdBrainLives Honda sold ~ 225k Accords with the 2.0T engine since '18 and millions of their V6 model Accords since '95. Obviously there's a market for a higher performing Accord. I'm sure the new one will sell in droves to the masses but there are a lot of people who will have to look elsewhere. I hope you enjoy your new Accord Hybrid. You'll get great fuel economy.
5.5 seconds for the 2.0T and 7.2 seconds for the new Accord Hybrid. Quite a difference! The new Accord will probably feel fine up to about 60 mph. Over that, and one will immediately notice the lack of those 48 extra horsepower from the 10th generation.
@@demottefamily2532 Perhaps but most every review I've seen, including Car & Driver, has it in the low 7 second range. I would tend to trust the general consensus over the outlier.

The video camera angles and video out there! If you had video of this car at night, this video would have been everything!
Agreed
Love the new review style! I hope I could get this car soon; it would really help out for college!
Sam you dont really think this is the best accord ever I mean c'mon. Take away the whole 2.0, V6, coupe stuff. How bout we talk about the accords of the late 80s through 90s with double wishbone suspension, later VTEC in the 90s I mean those are the best.
I love this
@@SamCarLegion You're just saying that to piss people off. This car is garbage.
He lost him mind, bro.
Yeah at least those models had CD players
@@mikesmithmillis lol
It look more continental/western design approach which someppl love or hate. But I love the interior design 🤩
the styling screams old man car
At least this new front end doesn't look like it's going to turn into a Transformer like most of the cars out there.I,m not twelve years old.Are you twelve years old mullen25.
At least you didnt lie about being an unpopular opinion ahahahahah
I'm now 110% convinced Honda paid you guys to say this is the best accord ever. Watched 4 other reviews and the look on their faces saying this is the best accord ever and no more 2.0t says it all. ANYWAYS, I seen it at the auto show in white and it's a nice looking car inside and out. But it's not the best ever, EVER
They did 2.6 million full disclosure
@@SamCarLegion quit playing Sam, you know it's not the best accord ever
@@rad636 unfortunately I can’t say that, Honda made me sign an agreement after I received the 2.6 million dollars. They will sue me 😓
Hard Pass
Great review and a beautiful car, love the radiant red. I’m seriously thinking of getting one of these. It will be a big step up from my 2013 2.4 accord touring which I’m currently driving. My main complaint is no spare tire but this is a real poor man’s luxury automobile.
21 2.0t Touring here bought brand new in Dec 2020. I like the interior of this new one and that is where it stops for me. Come replacement time for the batteries, it’s going to be big $. Extended warranty will not cover that either. It’s on you. Another reason I don’t want a Hybrid. People will be unloading these left and right when it’s time to replace the battery.
No one buying new will care about battery life. Original owners keep their cars 2-3 years. Thats it. Enthusiasts even trade more frequently. I feel sorry for the owners who get stuck down the road.
Batteries have 10 year warranty!
Hybrid batteries last forever. There's still hybrids from 2000s with factory batteries....
I have a 2012 insight with 216K on it original battery still runs great. Other than brakes and tries oil changed etc this car hasn't cost me one dime in repairs. It always starts nothing ever breaks - not so far anyway. I saw one of these accords at a dealer the other day and while I agreee the style is kind of a snoozer (I much prefer camry styling) the interior is better tan any other car in the category. The tech is as advanced as you can get at this point, so I'll probably get one of these, mostly because most of my time will be spent inside the car
I like these rims way more than the 10 th gen!
Honda gives me another reason to switch brands with every new car they release. Next car finally is not going to be a Honda/Acura. Was loyal since 02'.They just no longer give you what u want.
Guess what? It's what the majority of the public wants.
Awesome stuff Sam! I am digging this style 😊
Glad to hear it!
You have raced the 2.0T against several notable cars time after time. And the Accord 2.Ot won hands down several times. I would like to see you put this 11 generation Accord car up against an other competition. Do you hear crickets too??
As I said in the video, it’s not just about drag racing. It’s nice that it is quick, but the K5 is quicker.
Right. Where are you racing to? The red light? Overall, this car is far more premium than the outgoing Accord.
@Dis2good whats premium about it over the 10th gen? No fog lights, no button shifter, slower, hybrid only top trim.
للحين شح بالمواصفات
لانظام صوتي ولا كميرات ولاتبريد وتسخين ولاقزاز مدبل ماهذا ؟
I like the new look. Definitely more streamlined. The interior is definitely an upgrade.
Im torn between this and the suna cx5. I know they are different vehicles. Which do you prefer as you have driven both?
2 different cars
They absolutely ruined the car for us in the tuning community. you took a sleeper of a car that had the potential to run high 10 or low 11 which some are already doing in a family sedan that's not a sports car is unheard of! Not since the 87 GN and GNX was there such a tuning potential in sleeper making it four doors and not considered a sports car makes it even more of a unicorn! Maybe it'll become like the 87 gn's collectible they didn't produce that many 2.0 liter compared to a 1.5. but you insult our intelligence and put a CVT across-the-board makes the car undesirable
Who in their right mind wants a front wheel drive softly damped, tiny breaks, 11 second car. I have an accord as a daily and own several 10 and 11 second cars but your talking about a market of a few hundred people on a car they sell 100,000s of. The take rate for a 2.0t was like 7 to 8 percent. No market for that but once again a 11s front wheel drive car is a joke.
@@Tireburner7 first of all you're dumb as fuk because that's what they said about the Buick regal which I own why would they make it fast aka the GNA g n x and that was a cold car but people like you wouldn't know your ass from the hole in the ground! Second of all because it's not supposed to be fast it's a f****** sleeper look it up in the dictionary word that means and when you walk beside a Corvette STI mustang GT that supposed to be fast and you wax its ass and they want to know what the f*** happened that just puts a smile on your face and if you're lucky money in your wallet once again you probably have a CVT 1.5! The Accord had a great tuner platform that was the whole idea of the car at family sedan that hauls ass not since the shor they made a four door family car like that remember it's not a sports car dumbass it was a family sedan. Then on top of everything else you might have been to con people into buying the new record if they had a real transmission instead of a bulshit CBT that feels like a sewing machine that absolutely killed that car no one will buy this car
340i and 540i family sedans are still available. Rear drive too.
v6 Accords aren’t becoming collectible, and 2.0t won’t either.
Especially with fast electrics on the way.
@@davevolz6138 that's what they said about my 87 Buick Grand national they'll be collectible because it's front-wheel drive and what they accomplished of course I left your cars are fast they're Tesla plaid Tesla p100 . But you don't race I erase all the time in Tampa not so much my Accord but my g n in my buddy has a twin turbo coyote that runs high 7 seconds but if I bring my temperature in eration accord out there and we're going to to a race spot and we are messing around and I walk away from them and they're like what the f*** they don't know what happened that's the whole point of that car it was a sleeper it's not expected it's a front-wheel drive car get that through your thick f****** brain that's what makes a sleeper so collectible just like the s h o Taurus front wheel drive manual transmission it is not supposed to be that fast it is a family sedan you don't expect it is not a coyote it's not an STI it's not a Corvette you expect that it's not a scat pack it's not hellcat that's what makes the car special that's why it'll be a collector car whether you want to admit it or not because that is not expected out of that platform
@@Tireburner7 What s he smoking?
With such low numbers on base model I hope they release a R version of the accord then it would be the something we’ve been waiting for!
AND I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2023 HONDA ACCORD TOURING HYBRID ANYWAY!
They never will because it will be the death of Acura.
This car looks like a cheap fleet rental vehicle to me - a mix of Chevy Malibu for the back and ford taunts for the front. Inside is plastic fantastic and very monochromatic - A two tone interior goes a long way in making it less boring.
U should do a race vs the 2.0T accord to see how it does
I love the new car wheel better
One small thing I don't like is that the headlights on both ends don't flash even though they are orange.
It's a little confusing.🤣
What's confusing is your comment!
Love my 2023 accord hybrid, just the perfect reliable comfy commuter
It’s a nice car. Just nice. Not one that I can get excited about, nor one that I want.
One thing I'd like to see Honda do with the Accord nameplate is to make a liftback/hatchback or wagon version, and call it the Accord Liftour or Accord Hatchtour or Accord Wagontour, but keep the low center of mass found on the existing Accord, Integra, Civic Hatchback, etc. The Stinger is axed, and the Arteon is on the way out, and I'f love to see the Honda do something with the Accord (and TLX) to pick up where the Stinger and Arteon are leaving off, because despite all those dicontinuations, the idea of a car with additional practicality and low center of mass is a highly underrated idea with so much potential.
Thank you!! Great review and love those in-motion highway shots.
Great edit and amazing review as usual!
Glad you liked it!
Classy an more grown up . I like it . Everything ain't supposed to be a race car.
Last year, Hyundai and Kia said that their current Sonata and K5 will be their last ICE midsize sedans. But then, Chevy made a lasr minute decision to give their Malibu another gen amd Honda's new Accord was not received very well. Do you think that after all that midsize segment news, Hyundai and Kia could give the Sonata and K5 another gen?
Probably
This Accord has been received very well. As proof of that, the dealers can't keep them in stock. Most are sold before they get to the dealer.
10th gen 2.0t 10 speed is the best accord ever made and it’s not even close
Since they are basically going hybrid I hope they give us a 300hp hybrid with awd that will make up for everything imo
Just like Toyota prime models 300hp awd
you are missing the point about drag racing, we love the 2.0T because of the avail power and fun to drive, 200 hp for this hi end trim is too low, agree with you that the exterior looks better
I still can't get with the Taurus Malibu design. I've seen images of the upcoming new 2024 Toyota Camry. It will put this new Honda Accord to shame! This is now for IRA retirement pension buyers. The youth and fun of it has officially died!
Cars always look different in person. I thought the new civic looked weird before I actually saw one driving
But how will the Camry renderings transfer to the real deal? You can't take renderings for granted
I don't know, a lot of the renderings I see of the next generation camry look like oversizes Priuses. Pretty sure thats what we'll be reading if thats the look they go with
@Mike Smith The new Prius is now more attractive and sleek looking. If that's the direction they going with, then I take it over this geritol new Accord.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I actually like the styling of the current Camrys, but the antique technology turns me off to them
Honda Accord and Toyota Camry’s dominate the cab industry of major cities in the United States. Torcher tested and proven as the main transportation vehicles for over a decade. Checkers then Chevy/Ford, today even Prius out sell cabs. Lift and Uber they are majority. My observation when visiting home, Manhattan.
Sam I respect your opinions on this vehicle but if you compare it to the 10th gen it’s looks like a car for elderly people
Is that the infotainment screen out of the mdx
Nope. MDX doesn't have the google stuff and it's not a touchscreen.
You didn't watch a single review of this car? Didn't read any reviews of this car? How did you know that saying this is the best Accord ever is an unpopular opinion?
That’s a very good question, I know this because of the comments on Honda’s Canada and US on Insta. I can tell fans didnt like this. Also, my followers on Insta, which I have a lot of Accord fans, complained in my DMs when Honda first introduced this. Cheers
People hate change. The previous gen looked more masculine and when any designer makes it smooth and feminine, the guys complain. Not just Honda but Audi, bmw, etc.
This accord looks much different and it will be a few years before the controversy is over .
@@chrisrobles2012 I remember the new Supra reaction, the new M3\M4 reaction. Hate hate! Now they are paying over msrp 🫢
@@SamCarLegion People hated the looks of those cars initially but at least those cars were fast and fun.
Going from a 2.0T Sport at $27000 to a CVT and less horsepower for $27000 is a lot different.
And $38000 for the Touring? 204 Hp? You have to agree that is over priced.
@@chrisrobles2012 In a couple of years people are going to say "That was great when the Accord 2.0T went from a 10 speed auto with 252 Hp to a CVT/ECVT with 192/204 Horsepower"?
Great review, as someone who owns a good amount of relatively fast cars(10-11s in the quarter) my 10th generation hybrid is a JOY to daily. The torque from the battery is a monster for that 0 to 20mph blast from stop lights. For how plush it rides, it's superbly damped and handles really well. Barely takes any gas and the second row where my kids sit, make our SUV feel tiny and cramped. Amazing on gas to boot, going 65mph I get about 55mpg.
This is a VERY WELL DONE and relevant review. If you're getting a front wheel drive Sedan with a 2 l engine and trying to modify it into a sports car you're seriously doing it wrong and your opinion is invalid(maybe a type r but a accord,no)
Well said.
i think if you're worried about how people modify their own cars, you have way too much time on your hands. as well you should do a bit of research because its clear you have a immature view of things. major tuning companies invest in these cars and there are leagues that host fwd events. i guess they're wrong as well. your best bet is to stay silent while the grown folks do all the talking
@@792bnz You, sir ,need to grow up!

@@kirkvanvranken3560 I guess tireburner telling people what to do with their own cars is grown up enough for you? Don't play yourself kid. Worst part is, you don't even have the ability to make a valid point
I wish it was an all black interior, instead of cream coloured ceiling
The front end and poor rim design throw me off. It needs more interior color options, pano moonroof and a more powerful hybrid option. Otherwise, it's a great car
I think the more powerful hybrid might be in the works
These youtube ads are getting effin' ridiculous
Dont be cheap, buy UA-cam red with free ads
Can’t wait to see you start drag racing this thing against the competition.
For me. The front looks like a Ford and the rear looks like a kia
that's not a good thing haha
rear looks way more like an audi. front does look sort of like a taurus because of the grill and headlights shape, but if you see them together the accord is way lower and less angular,
I think it looks like a beefier 4 door civic don't like it Honda you dropped the ball.
I would definitely get this to blend into traffic during a police escape
You’d get a bright red car that has a brand new design which stands out from traffic….to hide from police?….
If I were to buy this car it would definitely be in that red color, the other colors are just meh. But I'm not feeling this new Accord therefore I won't be buying. I sat in this car yesterday and besides the space I'm not a fan of the interior especially having copied the civic interior design. This is your flagship sedan I feel like interior should depart a lot more from the rest of your lineup just my opinion. But in any case I don't like the layout of the civic dash interior design therefore I don't care for this Accord interior design.
Your comments are 100% right. I check both Civic and accord, its almost same shit. This review lost him mind. Later i stop my Acura, man TLX is 1000times nicer in and out and quality is superb 👌. This review said he would take acoord hybrid over TLX, he lost his mind.
one second says this, that maybe with a bad launch or that the wheels skid that new accord takes about 8 seconds in 0-60 the 2.0t less than 6 seconds
The accord looks ugly and it doesn’t have the motor everyone wants. I don’t know why every car reviewer keeps saying it’s good. I decided to get a 2023 civic hatchback sport touring last month when I saw how ugly the new accord is
Last gen looked way better. There also is no performance model anymore. I think your unpopular opinion will stay a unpopular opinion lol. The only honda come up was honestly the civic type R. More elegant design and has performance.
I love this gen
Nope, the new gen looks way THE BEST.
Everyone hated 10th gen at first too. Now look what happened. Embrace change.
And your unpopular opinion will stay an unpopular opinion FOREVER until you get BANNED.
@@SIIKAP1 that's a gross exaggeration. the look wasn't acceptable but the performance was. this one has neither
It's better than the Legacy. As for the refreshed Sonata, as futuristic and cooll looking as that is, I'm not a fan of how they replaced hard button climate controls with a capacitive panel, and the weird thing is that a few days prior to the Sonata refresh reveal, Hyundai promised to bring back buttons, so Hyundai obviously broke that promise with the Sonata.
Love this car, this is the review I needed to see! 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Love the look of this car
I can't wait for you to do your races with the other new sedans. lol
he won't be saying the car is cool then haha. 0 to 60 in over 7 seconds 😂🤣😭👎
a freakin CVT and lack of the 2.0 does not make up for a what basically looks like a scaled up civic.
The 10th gen looks a lot more like the Civic than the 11th gen. Although any Civic and any Accord has a better rear end than the 10th gen accord. Man that thing is hideous.
Not having 360 camera might leading me into buying next generation Camry, come on, Honda, it’s 2023, you lose sales because of this.

I am such a big fan of 2.0T, that I can have 100% electric car (for small chores/family) and 2.0T only for the driving pleasure. This honda accord, however, is not what I would buy. Not a fan of hybrid, unfortunately! The bigger question is, how to clean those air vents :)

🤣😭 for what? One of them might not make it there and the other car has just been emasculated
@@jefflarson3461 tf are you talking about? I owned a Altima and was trying decide between staying Datsun or going Honda
For those arguing "the 2023 Camry has a V6 with a lot more power", are you sure that will carry over to the next gen? Sure, 2.4T may be a thing, but sedans have stricter EPA standards than an equivalent CUV. I think Honda might be working on a more powerful version of I-MMD hybrid (whether just more power or PHEV in the works). As for Toyota, I think their flagship powertrain for the 2024 Camry might either be a more powerful hybrid or a borrow from the Rav4 Prime.
Press release already shows the v6 TRD still being sold and new color options
@@ElysianConcepts because the redesigned Camry hasn't even been revealed yet. This is probably referring to the current gen
You said, u love everything about the new 11th gen accord..really?! Honestly, there is nothing about the new accord I could fall in love with. Vw and Ford Taurus look and top of that No fog no 2.0 , no aggressive lines , no exhaust tips and the price tag is from 31 to 40 k?!! No thank u , if im going to spend that much dough I rather go with an acura. Period
I respect your opinion
Unfortunately inflation is here . Acura is always overlayed over the highest trim of Honda . So it only makes sense to get into a base Acura specifically for the design aspect. So either get all the tech and fully loaded Honda , or go for design and get a base Acura . Try to get a fully loaded Acura and you are out of your budget and at the high end. Then people start comparing luxury cars.
@C is for Chris in this case I rather go basic acura since the accord 11th gen is not well designed and not good eye catch.
You'd take it over the TLX... Really Sam...??? 👀 Lol I like how the video ended right after you said that 🤣
Yes, actually yes.
@rpgvag Right this dude is smoking crack
Well, longer wheel base more sound deadening, perfect highway cruiser on Alberta highways🤝🤝😍😍
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these deficiencies will be resolved.

They got rid of SiriusXM . Did Honda think that people don't want that? I know I do.
Good review! But would you really take this over the TLX? :)
Yes
The TLX has better styling but the Accord’s interior is way better. Think about it. You’re inside the car more than you are on the outside lol. Overall, i would pick the Accord too
@@Dis2good Well, I agree that you’re inside the car, moreover you’re behind the wheel. Therefore, as a driver I would choose the car with the proper engine, 10-speed transmission and SH-AWD over the FWD hybrid with an E-CVT lol. The Accord’s interior is basically Civic’s interior, the only major difference is a multimedia screen.
P.S. I have nothing against the Accord, the nice car overall:)
My TLXs engine just blew up :(
TLX is way nicer, in or out, they dont know what they are talking about.
Not a CVT. Even the e cvt is not a CVT. The screen is the same as the 9 inch in the top trim Civic except bigger. The Civic is a awesome car especially in sport touring trim with the manual transmission. CR-V is also top notch and has the exact same powerplant as this accord which by the way you liked. Incomplete review that left out important facts.

You should have told your friends too.
@@ThirdBrainLives Honda sold ~ 225k Accords with the 2.0T engine since '18 and millions of their V6 model Accords since '95. Obviously there's a market for a higher performing Accord.

How many seconds slower from 0-60 than the 2.0 T?
Around 1.5 secs.
5.5 seconds for the 2.0T and 7.2 seconds for the new Accord Hybrid. Quite a difference! The new Accord will probably feel fine up to about 60 mph. Over that, and one will immediately notice the lack of those 48 extra horsepower from the 10th generation.
