What's NewThe Hybrid variant expands the Accord range, marking the first mainstream, midsize sedan to offer a hybrid gasoline-electric drivetrain as an option. More significant, this model pushes the popular Accord to new heights in both technology and luxury. Non-hybrid Accords see few updates, such as side airbags added to DX and LX trims, revised taillamps, and new wheel covers.
Key optionsExtremely well equipped from the factory, a pricey, voice-activated navigation system remains the sole option, carrying a $2,000 premium.
