Improves upon the 10th Gen Hybrid in most ways.

I have had the car for almost a week. I have commuted to work in stop and go traffic and can tell you the car is quieter, more composed over bumps, has much better technology and far superior gas mileage. In my 2018, Accord Hybrid Touring, I averaged about 40mpg commuting to work. The car was equipped with the optional 19in chrome wheels. So far I am averaging 48mpg commuting to work this week in the new car. I love the additional levels of regen along with the brake lights activating when using the paddles. I can drive with one pedal about 90 percent of the time. The downsides. The missing Homelink from the rearview mirror. I have that on order, but it should be standard. The missing Sirius/XM built in along with the free trial. No interior trunk release button. These were standard items on the 10th generation. The cost cutters added profit. Overall, I am very happy with the new car. The updates to the powertrain are fantastic. I like the looks of the new generation. I know many people are not thrilled. I do think they should have included fog lights. But obviously I can live without them. The seat comfort is increased over the previous generation. The tech is vastly improved. Since I didn't own the 2.0T version, I don't miss it. If you want a great car to drive with fantastic mileage then you will not be disappointed in the Hybrid Touring.

My first Accord, and I am impressed. Build quality is very good. Ride quality and handling is excellent. Infotainment is intuitive and reliable. The hybrid power train is smooth and efficient. I'm getting 58mpg with mixed driving. The Regenerative capability is my favorite as it yields max mpg and reduces brake wear. The interior and exterior is minimalist but very functional. BSI and parking sensors are effective. Very good rear camera for reverse. Just a great practical car that has plenty of room and storage space. See myself driving this car for many many years. Update: 16K miles now and averaging 53mpg in the cool and wet weather. Car is quick of the line and can get to triple digits surprisingly fast. Road noise is more prominent now. No mechanical issues so far. Have had to reset the Infotainment Unit several times now but may be related to Android Auto updates. Still drives and handles very well. Hondalink app is very accurate and reliable. Remote features are excellent. Update 11/2024: 27K and going strong. No issues so far. Mpg is still close to day 1. Swapped out the stock tires due a nail to run flats. Still highly recommended car.

Slipping a bit, but still amongst the best!

My wife and I are long time Honda/Acura customers. As a teen my favorite car was a ‘86 Honda CRX. I’ve had Civics, Pilots, a CRV, and Accords. Las year (2022) was my first hybrid car, the Accord sport. It was a great car, I really had no complaints other than petty things like lack of a sunroof, no auto dimming mirror with homelink, no wireless charge pad, and lack of power outlets, but I loved driving the car otherwise. I just traded it in for a 2023 Accord sport L in red with black trim. Overall I believe I got a pretty fair deal on this new Accord as I had 18 months left on my 22 lease, and I was going up another few thousand in price with the higher trim level. I love the look of the car. The hybrid system is great, and it’s fun to drive. However, this one lacks fog lights which my sport had. It also has a cheap rear view mirror in it that doesn’t auto dim, it doesn’t have homelink built in, no wireless charge pad, no accent lighting, a really weird panel covering the air vents that you can’t mount anything to at all, and the passenger seat is power, and has a memory position, but you cannot raise or lower the seat. The front seats although leather feel cheaply made, and the backseat passengers get nothing! No air vents, no media outlets, power outlets, nothing! There’s only one 12v outlet and it’s inside the center arm rest. Me personally I still plug in my dashcam/ radar, and air compressor when I need to add air to my tires. Also, there’s no satellite radio, you’d have to stream it from your phone through Apple or android carplay. Lame. I feel like these are little things that a higher trim level should automatically have, but Honda felt like cutting corners to save a few bucks. Having said that, I don’t think they’re the only car manufacturer doing this unfortunately. Having said all of that though, I do like the bigger center touch screen that operates more like the Acura ones. The stereo system seems pretty good seeing as it’s not the touted Bose “premium” system you only get in the touring trim. You can set the steering wheel to normal, Econ or sport feel driving, so that’s nice. I also like how the break hold stays engaged even if the car is parked and turned off til you disengage it from the button, meaning every time you come to a stop it doesn’t move til you press the gas pedal. It has paddle shifters on the wheel which I’ve had in my other vehicles, but I never use them. Also, Apple CarPlay connects immediately upon starting the car which was NOT the case in my 22, which worked maybe 50% of the time. Overall I chose to stay with the Accord hybrid because I like the overall reliability of Honda, I like the way it drives, and the gas mileage is pretty good, not to mention it’s not a plug in, so I’m not paying for electricity. Honestly though, I’m disappointed in Honda for being cheap and cutting corners and it’s showing in their reviews. They’re slipping a bit, but they’re still amongst the best!

Different but not better than the previous version

On papers this one is more powerful than the previous generation....I own the 2021 and want to update only for the annoying and distracting mode buttons replaced by a stick on the 2023....fortunately I tested it before decide. I feel my 2021 is quicker and more powerful....I dont know how they measured the HP and Torque....This variant with two motors could be more fuel eficient but compromised pick up and acceleration also you hear more motor rev noise when pucking up....so if you value more the image go ahead but if you love perfomance get the 2020, 2021, cheaper and better...

The gas mileage is amazing. As I pulled out of the dealership with a full take of gas I saw 570 miles of gas range. Then the mpg read 23. As I drove home it steadily increased. By the time I was driving to work to mpg was 41. I could drive for two weeks between tanks of gas. The 8 speaker sound system is not a compromise. When my phone is plugged in the music sounds great. The cars quiet ride makes it easy to enjoy the music without cranking it up. Though I did do that and it still sounded great. The Honda sensing equipment works well. The blind spot monitors flash when sinus in your blind spot. If you turn on the signal to change lanes there is a chime that warns. That’s an improvement for me over the video screen approach in the 2020 civic. I’m looking forward to road-tripping this car.
