How much does the 2016 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 2.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,315 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord a good car?

Generally — the 2016 Honda Accord earns a 4.38/5 user rating and a 6.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, reliability, and impressive gas mileage, and many also value the safety features and interior quality. That lines up with the Accord’s role as a practical family sedan that aims to balance everyday usability with a broad set of strengths. Even so, the review summary also points to some quality issues in certain units, so you should still shop carefully.

Only 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than especially generous.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord reliable?

Owners rate it 4.38/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The review summary points to reliability, and it also highlights the car’s comfort and gas mileage, which are the kinds of traits that usually support dependable day-to-day ownership. The expert evaluation also describes the Accord as a good hedge against unanticipated expenses and notes favorable reliability ratings, which reinforces the case for long-term confidence.

Honda also frames the Accord as an affordable family car thanks in part to low insurance costs, and that helps reduce the burden of ownership over time. Still, the review summary mentions parts failures and serious defects in some units, so a used example with a clean maintenance history is the safer long-term bet.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Honda Accord?

At 43.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or multiple owners. Focus on condition details that matter in daily use, including interior wear, electronics, and evidence of inconsistent repairs. If you’re comparing several cars, the cleanest example is usually worth paying more for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the entry point, while the EX, EX-L, Sport, and Touring add more equipment and upscale touches. The base car is also the one most likely to leave you without the touchscreen infotainment setup, so feature gaps matter if you want a more modern cabin.
• Powertrain: Most models use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, with the Sport tuned to 189 hp and the rest generally at 185 hp. The EX-L can be optioned with a V6, and the Touring gets the V6 as well; the V6 is the stronger choice if you want more effortless passing and merging power.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, road-departure prevention, and adaptive cruise control. It is standard on the Touring and available on every version, but you cannot pair it with the manual transmission.
• Infotainment: The touchscreen system uses a 7-inch display and adds HondaLink connected services, Siri Eyes Free, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The LX and Sport miss out on this setup, so those trims are the ones to watch if smartphone integration matters to you.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4-cylinder engine is described as refined and efficient, and the Accord Touring returned better than 34 mpg on the open road in testing. The expert also recorded 24.6 mpg on a mixed test loop, with an official combined figure of 25 mpg mentioned for that setup.

Which 2016 Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2016 Honda Accord is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value-focused starting point, but it is also the most stripped-down version in the lineup. Choose it if you want the Accord’s core strengths at the lowest entry price and do not need the touchscreen infotainment system.
• Sport: The Sport adds a bit more attitude and gets the slightly stronger 189-hp version of the 4-cylinder engine. It makes sense if you want a more engaging feel without moving up to the pricier trims.
• EX: The EX is the first trim that unlocks Honda’s latest touchscreen infotainment system, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If you want the best balance of features and price, this is the trim that most clearly stands out as the best-value choice.
• EX-L: The EX-L adds a more upscale feel and is the trim where you can get the V6 as an option. It suits you if you want a nicer cabin and are willing to pay more for stronger performance.
• Touring: The Touring is the most fully equipped version, and it standardizes the V6 plus Honda Sensing. Choose it if you want the most complete Accord experience and do not mind paying for it.

Honda Sensing is standard on the Touring, and it is available across the lineup except that it cannot be paired with the manual transmission.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Honda Accord?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you have room to shop, but the best examples still deserve quick attention.

• Deal availability: 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,315 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 43.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,139, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Honda Accord's resale value?

The current average of $14,491 sits slightly below last year's $14,789.

That softer pricing suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than on broad market momentum alone. Well-kept examples should still attract steady interest because the Accord remains a familiar, high-demand family sedan.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.38/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord safe?

The 2016 Honda Accord earns top marks in every NHTSA and IIHS assessment except for four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection from the federal government.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is the key driver-assistance suite here, and it includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, road-departure prevention, and adaptive cruise control. It is standard on the Touring and available on every version of the Accord, but you cannot combine it with the manual transmission.

The main caveat is that rear cross-traffic alert and a traditional blind-spot warning system are not part of the package. Instead, EX, EX-L, and Touring models get LaneWatch, which only monitors the right-side blind spot.

Should I buy a 2016 Honda Accord or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 43.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.38/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Honda’s 2016 updates add Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Honda Sensing, which make this year especially appealing.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $13,288, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,491 average.
• It is described as exceptionally well-engineered and likely to provide dependable service for many years.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around package, the 2016 is the better target because it adds meaningful tech and safety upgrades while still pricing reasonably. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2015 is the smarter fallback, especially if you find a clean, well-maintained example.
