SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 6, 2024 – The 2025 Honda Accord begins arriving at Honda dealerships today with more standard features, and a new turbocharged SE trim with sporty black exterior accents and a host of standard high-demand features. The Honda Accord, America's best-selling car over the last five decades, is available in six trim levels, starting with the turbocharged LX and SE, and topped by the hybrid-electric powered Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring.
The well-equipped Accord LX has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $28,295 (excluding $1,095 destination charge). The hybrid-electric powered 2025 Accord Sport starts at $33,655.
“The Honda Accord is a critical driver of brand loyalty and the new Accord SE brings even more expressive styling and value to Accord that already commands more than 25% of all retail sales in segment,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda Auto Sales. “Accord SE is one more reason that Accord will continue to set the standard for midsize cars in exceptional value and a sporty driving experience.”
In addition to the new SE trim, every Accord now comes with rear air conditioning vents and a pair of rear USB-C ports. All hybrid-electric trims, starting with Accord Sport, add heated front seats and a Qi-compatible 15W wireless phone charger. The top-of-the-line hybrid-electric powered Accord Touring gains a heated steering wheel.
The four hybrid-electric powered trims feature the powerful and efficient Honda two-motor hybrid system. With 247 lb.-ft of torque, they're the most powerful Accord hybrids ever while receiving outstanding EPA fuel economy ratings of 51 mpg city and 48 mpg combined (EX-L trim). Positioned at the top of the Accord lineup, the hybrid-electric trims represent over 50% of annual Accord sales, a key step in the Honda electrification strategy.
The award-winning 11th-generation Accord is America's most popular midsize vehicle with Millennial, Gen Z, first-time buyers and multicultural customers.
New Accord SE
The turbocharged Accord SE slots between the Accord LX and hybrid-electric Sport in the Accord lineup. Expressive and sporty, the new SE trim stands out with black 17-inch alloy wheels, black window trim, black door mirrors, a black shark fin antenna and gloss-black B-pillar trim.
Inside, the well-equipped Accord SE builds on the generous feature content of the LX with heated front seats, a one-touch power sliding moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar control and an 8-speaker audio system. Both Accord LX and SE are equipped with a 10.2-inch Driver Information Interface and an easy-to-use 7-inch color touchscreen audio system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto™ compatibility and physical knobs for volume and tuning all standard.
The Accord cabin experience is modern and sporty with fine craftsmanship and high-quality materials for a premium feel. High-style materials include elegant piano black trim and a striking metal mesh accent that stretches across the instrument panel.
Accord LX and SE are powered by a smooth and responsive 1.5-liter turbo engine with VTEC® variable valve lift technology. Producing 192 horsepower (SAE net at 6,000 rpm) and 192 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm, the all-aluminum engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) featuring Step-Shift programming that simulates gear changes at full throttle.
Drivers can seamlessly switch between four selectable drive modes to optimize the Accord driving experience for various conditions. Econ, Normal, and Sport (hybrid only) modes feature pre-set performance settings for powertrain response, steering assist level, gauge cluster layout and adaptive cruise-control settings. Hybrid models (Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, Touring) also feature an Individual mode that enables the driver to customize the driving experience.
Powerful Hybrid-electric Models
For an even sportier driving experience, the Accord Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring come standard with the powerful Honda two-motor hybrid system with a total system output of 204 hp. Linear Shift Control elevates the driving experience by mimicking the vehicle speed-linked rev feel associated with a conventional drivetrain shifting gears under acceleration.
Accord Sport features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, plus Berlina Black 19-inch alloy wheels with a machined face. All hybrid models, including Sport, get standard heated front seats, Qi-compatible 15W wireless smartphone charging and a large 12.3-inch touchscreen with a physical volume knob and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility.
Accord EX-L builds off the SE, adding front and rear parking sensors, leather seats and Pewter Grey 17-inch alloy wheels.
Accord Sport-L adds to the Sport with a memory driver's seat, a power passenger seat and sportier styling that includes matte Berlina Black 19-inch alloy wheels, black exterior styling accents and a rear diffuser.
The top-of-the-line hybrid-electric powered Accord Touring leads the way with advanced technology, featuring Google built-in, which includes apps like Google Assistant, Google Maps and more on Google Play for seamless on-the-go connectivity, plus a complimentary 3-year unlimited data plan.
Accord Touring also features a customizable 6-inch head-up display, a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system with Bose Centerpoint technology, 4G-LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats. Berlina Black 19-inch alloy wheels with machined face are standard on Touring.
Safety Performance Leadership
Based on the longstanding Honda "Safety for Everyone" approach, a commitment to advance safety for everyone sharing the road, the 11th-generation Accord is a safety performance leader in the midsize sedan class with advanced active and passive safety technology standard on every Accord.
All 2025 Accords come standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive technologies that includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), Forward Collision Warning and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). Blind spot information system with Cross Traffic Monitor also is standard on Accord SE and up.
Every Accord includes the proprietary Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems.
The next-gen driver and passenger front airbags in Accord were designed to minimize the potential for severe brain trauma associated with angled frontal collisions. The front driver's airbag uses an innovative donut-shaped structure to cradle the head to reduce rotation in a collision. The passenger-side front airbag uses a three-chamber design with the two outer chambers designed to achieve a similar result. All Accord models feature front seatbelt pretensioners, and side, driver and front-passenger knee and side-curtain airbags.
In addition, both Rear Seat Reminder and Rear Seatbelt Reminder are standard across the lineup.
