The 2025 Honda Accord stands out with its roomy seating, big trunk and easy-to-drive nature. It also gets high mpg if you get an Accord with its available hybrid powertrain. Some aspects about the car can seem dull or behind the times, but overall the Accord is a smart pick for a sensible sedan.

2025 Honda Accord Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

1/15/2025

The Honda Accord name is practically synonymous with a well-rounded sedan. For years it has proven to be one of the best midsize sedans on the market, and for very good reasons. Some of the Accord's strongest attributes are its solid fuel economy, ample comfort and easy drivability. Honda's reputation for reliability only helps its case. The 2025 Accord brings much of the same, and while the new Toyota Camry has pipped it for the class lead in Edmunds' rankings, the Accord is still a very worthy consideration indeed.

Edmunds spotlight: A sound choice for a family sedan

The Accord was redesigned for 2023 to kick off its 11th generation, and as part of the redesign, the upper trim levels use a standard hybrid powertrain. But that's actually a good thing. The hybrid powertrain offers a total output of 204 hp and an impressive 44 combined mpg (48 mpg combined in the EX-L Hybrid). In addition, the Accord offers a spacious interior, comfortable seats, and a refined suite of driving aids. All in all, the Accord is a well-rounded family car.

Competitors to consider

The Accord is surely a smart choice. However, it's not your only option for a midsize sedan. The Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 and Toyota Camry are all excellent choices as well. We also recommend that you check out Honda's Civic. It's nearly as roomy as the Accord and now offers the same hybrid powertrain as the Accord for 2025. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to help you decide if the Accord is best for you.

Which Accord does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going for the EX-L trim. This gets you the hybrid powertrain combined with the upgraded infotainment screen and genuine leather upholstery. You also get the smaller wheels, and that's a good thing. The extra sidewall from a chunkier tire means this version has a more comfortable ride quality over rough pavement.

Helpful trims summary and side-by-side comparison chart

Honda Accord models

The 2025 Honda Accord is available in six trim levels: LX, SE, Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring. The LX and SE are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) sends that power to the front wheels. The remaining trim levels all upgrade to a hybrid powertrain with a 2.0-liter non-turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Total system output is 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. It also is front-wheel-drive. Keep reading for our breakdown of the features that each Accord trim comes with.

LX
Starts off the Accord lineup with:

Turbocharged 1.5-liter engine
17-inch wheels
LED headlights
Digital instrument cluster
7-inch center touchscreen display
Four-speaker audio system

Every Accord also comes with Honda Sensing, a collection of driver aids. These include:

Frontal collision warning with automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)
Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)

Leather-wrapped steering wheel
Heated front seats
Wireless phone charging pad

EX-L Hybrid
The next step up from the Sport by way of:

Excellent daily driver and for road trips. EX-L

2024 Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

We've had our new Accord hybrid for 7 months, including a 500-mile road trip. Very good ride quality for daily use around town and for road trips. Steering and brake feel are solid. Love the wireless Apple Car Play, and the straightforward, easy-to-use safety and convenience features. Front seat comfort and adjustability are excellent, especially for driver. Passenger seat is very …

Grows on you, but read the negative reviews, too!

Joram 71, 01/29/2024

2024 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I am coming off a Passat and a Jetta R trim, and this car is much smoother than both, and the turbo engine is much more powerful. There is no comparison in terms of the smoothness of operation -- the engine, steering, ride all much more sophisticated, and feel like a class or two up (especially compared to the Jetta, which felt grainy and easily out of breath). If there is a negative, it …

Almost a home run.

2024 Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

The car is ok, it has all features I need. It has more than adequate power and great mpg. It could be a great car if Honda could figure out how to make a quiet car. The front passenger seat is way too low and you can't adjust it higher. Maybe it will be a little quieter with better tires. The OEM Hankook tires are horrible.

A Front Seat Mistake

J. Lown, Winchester, VA, 03/01/2024

2024 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

This car has a passenger side front seat that no one less than 6’6” would want to sit in. What a hole! Can’t adjust seat height. Bad design by Honda. Check it BEFORE you buy.
