The Accord is smooth, quiet, and composed, and remains as fun to drive as ever
A compelling combination of virtues makes the Accord a sublime sedan and our number one pick in the family sedan segment.
All-wheel drive not available, base engine is second best, Camry beats the Accord hybrid in our highway fuel economy test.
0-60 mph (nonhybrid, 2023 EX): 7.9 sec · 0-60 mph (hybrid): 6.6 sec
Ride and handling balance are good regardless of powertrain, and the Honda delivers solid brakes and a neutral chassis.
That said, at speed, wind and road noise become noticeable in the cabin.
The 11th generation model largely sticks to that script, though in some ways it’s not as good as the version that precedes it
