2023 HONDA ACCORD REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Honda Accord Touring hybrid is presented as a competent and refined sedan, continuing the Accord's legacy as a practical and enjoyable choice for everyday driving. Reviewers highlight its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and significantly improved infotainment system featuring full Google integration, which is praised for its speed and functionality, including waypoint navigation. The hybrid powertrain is noted for its smooth operation, though its highway fuel economy (37 MPG) is considered somewhat disappointing compared to the Camry Hybrid and even lower trims of the Accord itself, particularly due to the larger wheels on the Touring model. While the driving dynamics are described as competent and predictable, akin to a "middle-aged golden retriever," it lacks the excitement of previous turbocharged or V6 models, and the reviewer suggests that enthusiasts might find it less engaging. The interior's build quality and precise feel are lauded, contrasting with competitors. Ultimately, the Accord is recommended, especially for those prioritizing practicality and technology, but with a caveat to consider lower trims for better fuel efficiency if highway MPG is a priority.
