Drew Dorian, with CARandDRIVER, said Even during this Age of the SUV, there's still demand for an honest and frugal mid-size family sedan, and the 2024 Honda Accord is the best of the bunch. While entry-level models of Honda's fixture four-door are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, most models will leave the factory with a fuel-efficient four-cylinder hybrid setup. No matter which you choose, front-wheel drive is the only option. The Accord was redesigned last year, and its fresh wardrobe of sheet metal is arguably the most attractive the car has worn in generations. Inside, the Accord offers two roomy rows of seats, a generously sized trunk, and all the infotainment tech expected from a modern car. But the real reason it receives our praises is its refined road manners, which are noticeable from mile one. Crisp steering, a well-damped suspension, and predictable handling all contribute to driver confidence and enjoyment. Simply put, the Accord is the whole package, which is why it's on our 10Best Cars and Editors' Choice lists again for 2024.
The hybrid powertrain takes a more prominent position in the lineup. It consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors that combine for 204 horsepower, and it's the only powertrain offered on Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring models.
Builds on the standard equipment by adding Heated front seats, a Power-adjustable drivers seat, Dual-zone climate control an Eight-speaker sound system, Sunroof and Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning while the Sport adds a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The EX-L trim, like this model also includes17-inch wheels, Front and rear parking sensors, Heated front seats, Leather seat surfaces, Two rear USB ports, Power-adjustable front passenger seat, Memory settings for driver's seat and an Auto-dimming rearview mirror.
