The redesigned 2023 Accord is Honda’s 11th iteration of its traditional midsize family sedan. We purchased an EX trim for our test fleet which totaled just over $30,000. Our testers will log over 2,000 break-in miles on this Accord before it enters our test program that includes 50 instrumented vehicle tests; these are our first impressions.

3.319 -> we're here at the Consumer Reports auto
5.52 -> test center and we just bought a 2023
8.099 -> Honda Accord now it might be hard to
9.78 -> believe but this is the 11th generation
11.519 -> of Honda's mid-sized family sedan one of
14.04 -> the big things about this redesign first
16.08 -> of all it's more evolutionary than
18.18 -> revolutionary there's some exterior
19.92 -> styling tweaks and updated interior but
22.08 -> one thing they changed is that now you
23.82 -> can only get this conventionally powered
25.56 -> Accord in LX and ex Trims and if you
28.619 -> want a nicer Accord you're going to have
30.539 -> to step up to one of the Hybrid models
32.64 -> which means you're going to be spending
33.719 -> more money one of the big changes to the
35.34 -> interior is this honeycomb mesh Grille
37.62 -> that they've taken from other Honda
38.88 -> models like the Civic not only does it
40.62 -> look pretty neat but they have these
42.66 -> very easy to use levers so that you can
45.18 -> adjust the the air vents any way that
47.219 -> you want and we also like that these are
49.02 -> physical climate controls everything is
51.18 -> right here when you look at the the temp
53.1 -> knob and the manual fan speed knob they
55.98 -> make these solid clicks each time you
57.84 -> turn them
59.46 -> so you know that you've accomplished
61.68 -> whatever you're trying to do and we also
63.719 -> like that this is a traditional gear
66.119 -> selector lever it's not a monostable or
68.82 -> any kind of electronic unit we like this
70.68 -> because this is the most intuitive to
72.84 -> use kind of gear selector rather than
74.58 -> any kind of a push button style which
76.2 -> Honda does use on some of its models and
78.18 -> with all of the Teslas that have gotten
79.74 -> in here so far most people aren't really
82.02 -> liking the comfort of the front seat for
84.36 -> me the it doesn't have enough support in
86.64 -> the bottom cushion so after about 30
88.56 -> minutes of driving I honestly start to
90.72 -> get a little bit uncomfortable the whole
92.159 -> seat is just kind of hard and it's just
94.5 -> kind of a letdown for an accord but back
96.659 -> here it's actually not too bad Headroom
98.82 -> might be a little tight for people who
100.259 -> have longer torsos but look at how much
102.119 -> knee room there is there's lots of foot
103.92 -> space and a lot of seats these days
105.84 -> don't have great under leg support but
107.7 -> it's pretty comfortable I could spend
109.02 -> hours back here I think so the
110.52 -> powertrain is essentially carryover for
112.439 -> this 2023 Accord it has a turbocharged
115.079 -> four-cylinder mated to a continuously
116.759 -> variable transmission now we're not
118.92 -> often fans of cbts because they tend to
122.28 -> cause the engine revs to wind way out
124.259 -> during hard acceleration but Honda did a
126.24 -> really nice job tuning this one it keeps
127.92 -> the revs nice and low when you're just
129.119 -> driving around town yet it has pretty
131.039 -> good power when you need to say make a
132.78 -> two-length passing maneuver or get onto
134.58 -> the highway and of course we can't not
136.68 -> talk about price you know car prices
138.36 -> have been going up lately and this
140.4 -> Accord EX came in at thirty thousand
142.86 -> seven hundred five dollars as it will be
144.84 -> tested now that sounds like a lot of
146.64 -> money but with the way new prices have
148.26 -> been going up it's actually a pretty
150.06 -> reasonable deal we'll find out just how
152.34 -> good of a deal it actually is after it
154.56 -> goes through all of our 50 tests at our
156.959 -> auto test center so don't forget to
158.64 -> check back for our full road test
160.44 -> results on the 2023 Honda Accord
163.98 -> foreign
167.1 -> [Music]
