The Accord blends refinement, reliability, advanced tech, and comfort without compromise. The available hybrid powertrain offers impressive acceleration and fuel efficiency, while the sleek exterior and streamlined design enhance its on-road presence.
In 1976, the first Accord was introduced. For a humble hatchback, it was a runaway success—winning over car buyers with its simple design and fuel-efficiency. It quickly became the best-selling car in America and continues to hold the honor, with over 15 million sold. Throughout its 50-year history, the Accord has been offered in sedan, coupe, and hatchback body styles.
As a revolutionary car for both Honda and the entire auto industry, its performance, value, and lasting power have been proven time and again. With an unprecedented 40 appearances on the prestigious Car and Driver’s 10Best list—including the last 28 years in a row—the Accord is a testament to our passion for engineering around a people-first ownership experience.
Across 11 generations, the fun-to-drive Accord has consistently brought the automotive mainstream unforeseen levels of technology, fuel-efficiency, safety technology/performance, and reliability.
The Accord introduced the world to our V-6 engine, became the first car to pass strict Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle standards, and raised the bar with our Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. From advanced powertrains to addressing environmental issues, these milestones have changed what American consumers expect in a quality automobile.
For 50 years, the Accord has lived up to its reputation as a genuine innovator. Each generation has introduced the automotive mainstream to new and unexpected advancements, earning the trust of more American car buyers than any other vehicle during this time. Never resting on our laurels, this drive pushes us to continually develop world-class safety technology, efficiency, and design.
The 11th-generation Accord has been engineered to fully embody this purpose. With an innovative design approach and a choice of turbocharged or hybrid powertrains, it’s the future of driver confidence and performance that defines the Accord legacy.
