Is the NEW 2023 Honda Accord Touring a sedan WORTH the PRICE? 

Just purchased 2023 Accord EX-L. Took a 500 mile trip using Econ mode and averaged 47 mpg. Could have gotten better if I hadn’t monkeyed around with other modes in between. The acoustic feedback was funny to me in sport mode. It really did enhance the experience for me. All in all, I love this car.

Definitely not feeling the new design, seems like a step back to me. Great review as always Joe and Lori.

2020 Honda accord 2.0t was the sweet spot for Honda being 1.Reliable 2.Room 42/40 3.Regular unleaded use 4. Speed

Looking at other comments, I'm probably in the minority when saying I really like the clean simplicity of this exterior design. Perhaps I'm just getting older or don't really see the Accord as being a young person's car. To me, an Accord is the car I buy and hold onto for 15+ years and put hundreds of thousands of miles on and can rely on it every time to safely and comfortably get from A to B with no drama. The previous nose was too busy for my taste but I think this will age well when we look back many years from now.

No excuse to be missing a heated steering wheel and a 360 camera at $39k on a flagship sedan-- especially one of the most popular ones in the country.

The design is a step back, the engine and power is a step back... I was planning to get this when they announced but now thinking about just getting a 2022 2.0t instead

Having a 2020 2.0 touring. I can confidently say the only thing I want from this 11th gen is the larger infotainment screen. Everything else I think the 10th gen is still solid!

Just bought my touring two days ago and love it. The MPG I am getting is awesome, I really like the hybrid system ( my first hybrid). The clean look is very attractive to me ~ looks mature compared to previous model. Your review was a big help to me as far as managing expectations.

For certain the Accord Touring should have had a panoramic sunroof. Also, that's the infotainment system they should have had in the upper trims of the new Pilot, not the tiny one they have across the entire Pilot lineup now.

I thought the redesign for the civic was a step up, but the accord definitely took a step back.

One thing I appreciate about this is the small grille and centered Honda logo. Looks classic. People are hating on this it seems, but if I won this on Wheel of Fortune I'd be super happy.

I prefer the last gen Accord. That 2.0L Turbo was so fun to drive. You didn’t look like you had any fun driving this one. Can’t say that I blame you.

The 11th generation is slow and there is no engine options, the 10 and 9th generation are the best looking for me 🔥🔥🔥 but my fav is definitely the 9th generation, it's just different for me 🔥🔥

The problem I have with this car is that the new civic is already so great that the accord doesn't seem worth the money. Almost 40k (more out the door) for that trim is definitely overpriced, you can buy plenty of nice sports cars for the same money.

Had to click to my guy raiti's ride always super legendary been watching from day one 🙌🏾 💯 out of all my subscribers you n Lori are definitely in my top five appreciate the content 👌🏾

I bought the 2023 Accord Hybrid EX-L just over a month ago. I wanted the "Touring", but just couldn't get the monthly payments down low enough, even with a hefty down payment. I decided to go with the EX-L, as other than the wheel size and a few "extras" that I can easily live without - although the Bose speakers would have been nice! -- they are essentially the same car. I don't care what some say about how the 2023 Accord is "a step back", that it "doesn't look sporty" -- I don't care. Coming from my 2010 Accord, THIS new version is like riding in a Cadillac. I love the "tech" - the automatic braking and lane assist (whatever it's called) do work quite well. However, the camera that is mounted above the rearview mirror sometimes has trouble "seeing" the lanes on the highways if they are faced or obscured by rain. To be honest, I don't even notice that the wheels are 17" and not 19". It equates to somewhat improved MPG which is part of the reason I wanted a hybrid to begin with.

Styling is actually pretty sleek and modern. I think the fact that the Accord is moving away from performance to focus on comfort, practicality, fuel efficiency, and luxury is a great thing. As the first car released under the rebranded 2023 Accord, it’s not a bad hybrid at all. I will say for a car that is moving more towards comfort and luxury, the seats leave a lot to be desired, and the camera system is underwhelming. Those are the only two things that disappointed me about this car, and those have become staples in other cars, so that could be a deal breaker for some.

If they had kept the fog lights, 2.0t engine, and added a panoramic sunroof then it would have been a treat. I currently have a 2021 accord 2.0t sport and I’m feeling my car wayyy more than this new version.

Having Accord from the past my concerns are: 1)Is it quieter inside? How well insulated is it? 2)Can you turn off that nonsense of engine sound channeling through speakers?

does the brake light go on with the regen braking? wondering about people following not seeing that you're slowing down

Great job on the review! You always make your reviews informative, with a brilliant sense of humor, with Italian flavor 🇮🇹 and I love your fun facts. The fact you threw in "hippocampus" into your review is amazing. You deserve your own TV show. I would pay money to watch it. And great job by Lori as well. Your camera angles are perfect with incredible B-rolls. You guys make a perfect team. Keep up the great work. I didn't like this 11th Gen at first but it's starting to grow on me. Only thing that seems to bother me are the day time running lights. Is there a way to turn that off?

In the limited sonata thats 36k msrp i think you get way more for your money especially when going top trim. 360 cameras that are clear, blind spot cameras, heated steering wheel, panaramic sunroof, ambient lighting.

Hug a tree and roll around haha love it 😂😂 They should've given ambient lighting, full pan roof, front camera, 360 camera. Awd would be great! Think I'm leaning towards the 2023 crown more now minus HUD

Keep up the good work Joe !!

Hey Joe keep up the great work. Would you choose the accord over its competitors? or would you choose another midsize.

It will sell well mainly because of the bigger screen. Most people don’t care about engine and transmission.

Great work raiti and Lori. Keep making amazing videos for us ❤

I love the new design, not sure what everyone else is seeing. This isn’t a sports car, it’s an Accord!

Sure looks like Honda is trying to get into the rental car fleet sales game with this one.

No heated steering wheel on the $40k Accord Touring?? Hard to understand how Honda forgot that given it is on the CRV with more content (AWD) for the same price?

Nice job, thank you. Reminds me of my 96 accord in dark green which is still running.

Hey Joe, been loving the reviews as I was in the market for a car in January. I went with the Kia Seltos after always being a Honda person. Do you feel like Honda’s prices are starting to get too much for what it is? I know inflation is high but was shocked at prices when looking at Civics and HR-Vs. feels like they are making past customers turn to Mazda, Kia, Hyundai for more value instead.

Hey Joe, thanks for reviewing this Accord-- it influenced my decision to buy one (and I share many of your observations regarding power/accel/overtaking). However, I always wanted to have a town car, like my dad. Sedans are 16% of the market. Type R? Great. CTV Blackwing? Also, great. They could always throw a turbo on this in later years, but I prefer the more reliable, efficient, and slower, NA engine. There's an elegance to a car that isn't trying to be something it isn't-- this accomplishes that. I think Honda knows that there are plenty of people who would love a traditional Ford or Cadilliac sedan but don't have the option anymore. I will personally test the chalupa and calzone capacity, soon. All the best

Still love my 10th gen. Love it so much we had to get another. Honda FTW🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

2023 Sonata limited got more feature than this 2023 accord. - panoramic sunroof - 365 camera - Ambient lighting - highway driving assist - sonata parking assist - Digital keys (NFC card or Android Phone) - warranty (5 yrs) - 3 free yearly maintenance This accord can be a very good rental car

does apple carplay support full screen or its cut by that stupid power system info on the right side of the screen?

This goes to show how good the outgoing model is, no way they could make something that looks better than that.

What if you are playing music through the Bose speakers, will the engine sound still be pumped in in sport mode? Is there a submenu for turning the engine sound off?

To answer the question to this title, absolutely NOT. To Raiti's team thanks for the in depth great review, but Honda is really taking their consumers loyalty for granted with this...... This probably the most underwhelmed I've ever seen Joe's on throttle experience. But speaking of re-gen braking how about that Cadillac Lyriq 😍😍😍

First thought is that our friend Joe is under the weather. If so, I hope you are better soon! Thank you for your dedication Lori & Joe.

I'm blown away by the 11th generation Accord the styling, the interior, the exterior lighting, the color is striking as well. A zonk is there aren't many engine choices and the CVT is another and the wheels are sharp. Big thanks to Lori for her hard work behind the lens!👍👍

Hi Joe, Love your channel. Agree on the front camera, bigger sunroof and better resolution camera. Thanks for reading my mind.

Honda sure got rid of some of my favorite options: dampers, homelink, driver side map pocket, fog lights, and full trunk brake lights on the touring and yet Honda increased the price for what… a new Bose sound system and a bigger infotainment screen? Now I’m debating on getting my $500 deposit back on a Touring. I guess I’ll make the decision after the text drive.

Honda lost me when I found out that in a Honda accord you cannot have the following: 1. XM Radio 2. Spare Tire 3. All Wheel drive 4. Heated Steering Wheel. May be a nice car, but without 1-4 I am not interested.

Joe I feel like Honda should’ve added more to the top touring trim,where you have all wheel drive,panoramic sunroof,etc. Now I wonder how the Toyota Camry is going to stand it’s ground against the Honda accord. But awesome job as always you two!

Purchased a 2022 Accord Sport 2.0T a few months ago, so glad I didn't wait for tbe '23...

This is the first time I’m in interested in a Honda suv over the sedan. The previous model looks so much better, and the technology doesn’t have enough divergence to justify any excitement. It looks like a diluted ford fusion

Been an Accord owner since 1989. Trouble free and low maintenance. All I need to know about is battery life and cost of replacement. Have had two Accords with sun roofs and never used them. If I could order one without, I would.

Great review as always Raiti. I'm sorry but not a fan of the powertrain. Loss of the 10speed and 2.0T is a big mistake. Styling is meh. Tech seems awesome however and may be the only upside to the 11th gen other than gas mileage.

I like the looks of the last gen more but I saw one of these parked a a couple blocks from my house and it did make me do a double take. Looks much better in person.

When he went on throttle I shook my head - Honda what are you doing 😔

Thank you Joe and Lori! Unfortunately, competitors like hyundai and kia, toyota and mazda will beat the competition both in exterior/interior design and power plant segment, especially the car market heavily relies on lease, design is a big part that Honda lacked this time

Quick takes and take-aways on the Touring Edition Accord. That's a lot of greenback to go into touring. I do love the "C" word as in the classy and clean lines which should age well over time. Turbos are fun until you have to pay on the maintenance. No body should lament the loss off that big block of chrome on the front. No 360 degree means no pomp or circumstance for this road scholar. Love the seats and controls. At least with Honda if you have issues the company will back up it products. At least it's nice that some car companies still make...you know...actual cars and not simply SUVs. Lori reflects nicely in that blue paint finish!

Joe. I believe the car will fake shift under full throttle if you don’t hold the brakes right before taking off. If you floor it without just releasing the brake, I think it should simulate shifts. That’s how it is on the hybrid Civic

Only one question, will the In-N-Out double-double with fries "animal style" fit in the center counsel storage compartment?

Sirius XM no longer appears as an app on the information display. Is Xm no longer offered, or hidden within the Alexa app now included in the Accord?

Joe still doing his job even with a cold thanks bro. Total disappointment with the accord, hard to believe the same company made this and the CTR

“Nah not that C word ya sicko” BRO WHAT?? 😂😂

Sedans are still going strong. Well the good ones are.

I have a question, in hybrid cars why don’t they cancel the battery in the hood since it’s a hybrid? What’s the point of having 2 batteries, one for the electric engine and one for the starter. It reduces weight and maintenance cost.

Great video love your enthusiasm but… Honda did truly let us down with this car! Touring looks no different than any other trim! Mature audience got their car company back!!

My husband bought this, and it look so much more gorgeous in person. People are so quick to judge the quality of the exterior design just from photos and videos. It look soooo good in person, and definitely feels Luxury. If you’re second-guessing, I believe you should make a trip yourself to a dealership and check it out!! - Great review by the way!!

The back end is the problem - not feeling it. The interior like other new Hondas are fine but for the amount you're spending on the top trims, they're always lacking in many areas where it's nonsensical. And in Canada at least, the pricing is nuts. I get it, supply chain etc....makes you wonder over the next 18 months if that is going to remain a valid "excuse." Can;t wait for you test drive the new Camry, which I think is probably the better buy. As usual, great review Joe and gang.

Fantastic review Joe. I’m convinced, this model will be my next car. Thank you for posting

As an owner of a 2020 Accord Touring, I'm surprised they returned to the shift lever over the push button. Seems like a step backward.

Honda Accord Honda's "Flagship", but it's being upstaged by their Civic, sort of like how Nissan Maxima has been upstaged by their Altima.

For a Touring trim the HIGHEST trim offered, there are so many missing features compared to its competitors. No 360 camera, no AWD, no pano sunroof, no fog lights, gloss black materials, one seat pocket, no heated steering wheel. Among the other trims, It is hard to justify getting the touring compared to the lower and less expensive models.

I still driving my 98 accord almost 400k miles and running strong

Great video Joe! No 2.0 a huge disappointment

10th gen wasn’t a bad design, but it was overstyled and trying too hard to get attention like a teenager trying to be edgy. 11th gen is a better looking and more mature car. The styling is understated and the interior is as upscale as previous gen premium sedans. Honda really got this one right.

I will say this: As a Honda enjoyer, If Toyota still has their Camry TRD 300hp V6 models, then I’m never going to look back at the pitiful 192hp 1.5T Accord and this 206hp hybrid. I loved the older 278hp 2017 V6 Honda Accord’s and even the 252hp 2018 2.0T Accords that used to win drag races against Ecoboom Mustangs; but if this pitiful 192hp is all they got that’s not a hybrid, then I am no longer on the market for an Accord, and the Accord is dead to me. I understand that not enough people bought these higher hp products, but it’s just sad to see the performance options of V6, V8, and 2.0T disappearing.

im def keeping my 2012 accord V6 coupe. Hondas best engine ever!

You asked us to comment...No, it is not worth $38000, The honey comb interior fake vents do not belong in the Accord (leave them in the Civic), the rims on this model are too flashy for the new clean look, no 360 camera again, no power folding mirrors again, the interior shiny black accents are not necessary, no good name brand stereo option, the stereo knob below the center screen looks out of place, infotainment system and maps look ancient, replace ugly stick automatic with the push button version seen on previous models (much cleaner look), its time to get rid of the prop rod for the hood. Give us full power driver and passenger seats, Reduce the model line-up for the Accord...way too many trim levels that are useless.

Is it true the only drive connected to the front wheels are the electric motors? So basically the engine is here just to charge the battery for electric motor? I thought the hybrids have E-CVT? Do they still need to change transmission fluid on those at 30-40k miles?

Joe- always love your reviews, definitely the best in the business. How would you say the Honda Accord compares to the Kia K5? I love the exterior styling on the K5 and all of the tech, but Honda of course comes with great reliability and (in the case of this new Accord) great MPG.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, BUT yall saying the design is clapped are wrong 👀, Especially with this color 🔥

The 2 biggest flaws the engine and the front end looks like a ford Taurus. They really f-upped not putting the 2.0T in the touring or hell even the sport.

Great review! Btw- it’s trim level is Touring, not Turing 😊

Very nice vehicle. Simple, sleek and clean design.

I saw the new Accord on the street and just as I predicted it looked generic. The brake likes in the back, although redesigned, brake only on small rectangles on the corners. So what is the point of having brake light casings with details and extended bar across the car if nothing lights up but two small rectangles?

Great review as always Raiti team! Sadly I'm not too thrilled with the new gen. I like my 2019 sport gen. Keep up the great work you guys!

you always make good videos. I wish you give us a little bit more info by pressing honk (every car has its own honk which is different)

Such a great review as always. Speaking of the car I love the interior but really don’t like the front, it is too simple and has no personality.

unlike many in here, I like the new desing of this Accord it's way better looking than the previous desing

Hey Hey L & J..hope you’re having a throttlelicious day! I’m diggin the color!!! The car looks nice in dark blue but I’m not buying a car for it’s hue. I’m gonna zonk the front bright silver trim..reminds me of the ‘18 Cadillac(my fav brand) CTS exhaust.. My mother told me to stay off the intereweb

When are Honda gonna update the Honda badge?

ON THROTTLE…. “crickets” 🤭😆 😂 So glad we got our 21 2.0t Touring brand new when we did!

why does the new accord top trim or any trim level doesn't come with led fog lights? step back if you ask me

It looks like a warmed-over last gen Passat. Not bad, but nothing too "exciting" or original, either. I wasn't a fan of the last Accord which looked too bloated in the rear IMO, but it was more interesting to look at than this one.

I don't think I would pay 38,800 for it, but I like everything it has. Thank you for showing the 2023 Honda Accord Touring.

Overall nice vehicle in many ways, but no more fun factor. Great review Joe, thanks!

Great review guys! I really love my 2021 Hybrid EX-L for the mpg, tech features, styling, handling - it’s been great for what it is … I’m currently ready to update and it’s a really tough choice between the hybrid versions of the Camry XSE and Accord Touring trims. Trouble is you can’t find all the features in the trim packages you want for Camry, yet everything is STANDARD on Accord Touring (BTW, where’d the fog lamps go?!). Maybe future updates to Camry will catch up to Honda’s lead on features and creature comforts. For now I’m with you, Accord has a lot for the money … 47 years of Accords! 🙂

Should’ve kept the 2.0 and added the hybrid function. Exterior could’ve been much more sharp and less bland. Should’ve kept the push/pull transmission, maybe added some interior lighting and whatever else.

Overall a nice design, but That " On throttle" part was terrible 😫

It has some zonks but in general I'd say It is a great option for daily driving, especially talking about the fuel consumption.

beautiful and clean design 😍

If any model should have been kept with the two liter turbo engine, it was this one. The touring always was a great value if you wanted pretty much an Acura without paying the premium. Unfortunately, it resulted in Honda getting caught with its pants down as the 2 liter turbo accord absolutely walked away from the TLX. But that's not something that a consumer should suffer for, that's the same way that muscle cars existed initially. Cheap car, big engine, tons of power, not a lot of money. It's a shame that now we have to buy the luxury car just to get the nicer, more driver oriented, experience.

Hey Joe thanks for doing these awesome reviews This is my dilemma I have a 2021 Mazda 6 GT Turbo it is a leased car should I buy this lease out or take the equity out and put it towards the Honda sport or Ex L the Mazda is a good car but just making sure I look at all of my options Thanks for your input

I wonder if the Touring has the laminated glass to reduce noise (as seen on the new CRV Touring). No mention of this in the official honda release notes.

I definitely much prefer the 10th gen over this new design and pricing. Man, Honda went backwards for sure.
