2024 Honda Accord review

What We Like   

• Passenger space: Don’t be fooled into thinking you need a larger, bulkier, and less fuel-efficient crossover or SUV to have ample space for five adults. The Accord has nicely sculpted seats that provide plenty of support even for long-haul journeys. Legroom in the rear seats is also very generous for long-limbed traveling companions.  

• Hybrid refinement: The Accord’s base four-cylinder is plenty capable, though it’s hard to overlook the many fine attributes that come with stepping up to the 204-hp hybrid engine. From behind the wheel you might not even know it’s a hybrid. Acceleration is strong and the engine is pretty quiet in operation.    

• Cargo space: Pop open the Accord’s trunk and feast your eyes on 16.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. Better still, the low load floor takes away the literal pain that comes with loading up heavy bags and other back-straining stuff into your vehicle.   

What Needs Improvement  

• Light on features: The Accord does many things well, though it’s a little stingy in terms of features. Sought-after items like dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and wireless smartphone connectivity mean spending more on upper trims. A number of competing sedans offer more content for less money.
