Our Opinion - 2025 Honda Accord Review While driving an Accord, we always remember how easy it is. The bedroom works well, has plenty of space, and is well-equipped. One step up, the handling gets close to being as good as a sports sedan’s. Two fuel-efficient powertrains, one of which is a hybrid, help it move quickly. It all comes together out of the blue in one expensive family car, leaving you to wonder: What’s the catch? To put it simply, there isn’t one. We miss the bold 2.0-liter turbo four from the last generation and would like a manual gear, but the current model is fine. In fact, everything is okay. There is only one 2025 Honda Accord, and it is more than the sum of its parts. After starting in the dealer lot, it has become a real icon. What's New? In 2025, the cheap EX model will be replaced by a blacked-out SE model. The SE model features 17-inch metallic wheels, a sleek black shark-fin antenna positioned on the roof, as well as black accents on the window trim and mirror caps. The SE has a power sunroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10-way power driver’s seat, among other features that make the inside more comfortable. Each variant now features two USB-C ports on the back, along with vents for the climate control system. The Touring model now has a heated steering wheel as standard, and hybrid cars now have a 15-watt wireless charging pad for their phones. Pros and Cons Pros Available efficient hybrid powertrain. Stylish, Civic-inspired interior. Generous space for both passengers and cargo. Cons A small touchscreen is on gasoline types. Unlike the Camry TRD, it doesn’t have the sports trim. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The LX and SE trim levels of the Accord are powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that sends power to the front wheels through a CVT. Just like older Accord cars, this one doesn’t have all-wheel drive. The portfolio is more focused on hybrid powertrains. This technology is only available in the Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring versions. It has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that together produce 204 horsepower. The Accord is still stylish and fun to drive, even though it is calm, quiet, and collected. It’s easy to drive and feels confident thanks to its precise steering, well-controlled body movements, and comfortable ride. Drivers will love it just as much as our writers do. Safety Honda Sensing is a set of tools that help the driver, and it comes standard on all Accords. Convenience features include adaptive cruise control and the ability to read traffic signs. Both automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings are standard. These safety factors are important: Automatic emergency braking when a person is detected. Normal warning for leaving your lane with help to stay in it. Adaptive speed control as we know it. Internal and External Cargo Capacity Like the outside, the inside of the Accord is simple and made up of parts from other Honda cars, giving them a common history. A lengthy section of honeycomb trim conceals the air vents. This is a great design feature that both the Civic and CR-V SUVs share. The Accord’s front seats provide excellent support for the center of your body, and the trunk can accommodate up to 16.7 cubic feet of items. Every grade comes with leather seats except for the LX, SE, and Sport, which have cloth seats. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG According to the EPA, the Accord Hybrid is expected to achieve 51 mpg in the city and 48 mpg on the highway. The regular Accord gets 29 miles per gallon in the city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway, which could be better. However, the nonhybrid Accord barely got 40 mpg on our highway fuel economy route at 75 mph. With 39 mpg on the highway, the hybrid we tried should be able to go up to 490 miles without having to fill up. Infotainment and Connectivity An upright 7.0—or 12.3-inch tablet display makes the Accord’s entertainment system easy to use. All models, no matter the grade, come with a 10.2-inch digital gauge display. All of them come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only the 12.3-inch models can connect to both of them wirelessly. Ultra-luxurious Touring models have 6.0-inch heads-up screens and Bose radios with 12 speakers. Range, Charging, and Battery Life The nonhybrid Accord, powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 192 horsepower, accelerated to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. In comparison, the hybrid Accord, which generates 204 horsepower, achieved the same speed in 6.5 seconds. Price and How to Choose Costs for the 2025 Honda Accord range from $29,390 to $40,395 based on type and options. We recommend you upgrade to the EX-L Hybrid. The hybrid engine is more powerful, producing 204 horsepower. It also has a bigger 12.3-inch tablet, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather seats, a sunroof, automatic climate control for two zones, and parking sensors in both the front and back.
