2023 HONDA ACCORD TOURING: IS THE NEW ACCORD READY TO DOMINATE?

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid receives a comprehensive redesign, aiming to solidify its position as a top midsize sedan. The reviewer highlights the new standard hybrid powertrain across Sport trims and above, offering a combined output of 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, with impressive fuel economy. Exterior design is noted as more mature and sophisticated, featuring full LED lighting standard across all trims. Inside, the Accord boasts a significantly upgraded cabin with a standard 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and, on the Touring trim, a large 12.3-inch infotainment display running Google software with built-in Google apps and Assistant. The rear seat space is particularly praised as class-leading. However, the reviewer points out the absence of a panoramic sunroof and the lack of a 360-degree camera option, which are available on some competitors. The previous 2.0-liter turbo engine is discontinued, leaving only the hybrid for most trims. Overall, the Accord Touring is presented as a highly refined and technologically advanced option, though some premium features are reserved for the top trim.
