Honda has introduced the 2025 Accord, which features a revised lineup with a new SE trim. Prices have also climbed US$ 400 to begin at US$ 28,295 before a US$ 1,095 destination fee. Starting with the Accord SE, the model costs US$ 30,560 and replaces the previous EX trim. It’s billed as a sporty and expressive sedan that features a dark vibe thanks to black trim, black mirror caps, a black shark fin antenna, and black 17-inch alloy wheels.
Moving inside, customers will find heated
front seats with 10-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. The model also
comes equipped with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch
infotainment system featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Other highlights include a power moonroof, a dual-zone automatic climate
control system, an eight-speaker audio system, piano black trim, and metal mesh
accents. Power is provided by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine
that develops 192 hp and 260 Nm of torque. It’s
connected to a continuously variable transmission, which has “Step-Shift
programming” that is designed to simulate gear changes.
Additional changes are limited, but all
Accords now come equipped with rear air vents as well as a pair of USB-C ports
for rear seat passengers. Hybrid trims gain heated front seats and a 15W
wireless smartphone charger, while the range-topping Accord Touring Hybrid now
comes standard with a heated steering wheel. Hybrid variants have a 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine and a two-motor hybrid system that gives the car a
combined output of 204 hp. Over 50% of customers opt for the
powertrain and it’s no surprise as the hybrid returns up to 51 mpg city, 44 mpg
highway, and 48 mpg combined.
Price increases vary by trim as the SE
cost US$ 650 more than the old EX, while the Sport gets a US$ 760 price hike.
The EX-L climbs US$ 400, while the Sport-L jumps US$ 500. Lastly, the Accord
Touring climbs from US$ 38,890 to US$ 39,300 for a US$ 410 increase.
