How much does the 2016 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 2.99% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,225 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping. If you find a listing below $14,142.14, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord a good car?

Generally — 4.38/5 from owners, which points to strong everyday satisfaction. The expert score is 6.83/10, and the standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise the Accord for its comfort, reliability, and impressive gas mileage. The user feedback also highlights safety features and interior quality, which helps explain why it feels like a strong value in its category.

For you, that means the 2016 Accord fits especially well if you want a practical midsize sedan that balances family-car usability with a reassuring ownership experience. It is also framed as a good hedge against unanticipated expenses, which reinforces its appeal for budget-conscious shoppers.

The market shows 24.4% good or great deals, so there is still room to find a worthwhile listing if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord reliable?

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

The user feedback points to reliability, comfort, and trouble-free everyday use as recurring strengths, and it also suggests the car is one you can count on for long-term ownership. The expert commentary reinforces that theme by describing the Accord as a good hedge against unanticipated expenses and noting favorable reliability ratings.

You also benefit from a cost-conscious ownership profile, since the expert notes favorable fuel-economy estimates and low insurance costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that individual cars can still show quality issues or specific defects, so condition and maintenance history matter.

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

At 45.3% 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 any signs of prior bodywork or uneven wear. Focus on how the car presents in person, because the available feedback suggests some examples can have quality issues or serious defects even when the model is broadly well regarded.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most basic version, while the EX, EX-L, and Touring add more equipment and features. The Touring is described as the fully loaded version, and the EX, EX-L, and Touring are the trims that get the touchscreen infotainment system.
• Powertrain: Most models use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, with the Sport getting a slightly stronger version. If you want the V6, you need the EX-L with the option or the Touring, and the V6 brings much stronger passing and highway 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 upgraded system uses a 7-inch touchscreen, supports wireless-style smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and includes HondaLink connected services. The LX and Sport miss this setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4-cylinder engine is described as refined and efficient, and the V6 averaged 24.6 mpg on the test loop, with better than 34 mpg on the open road at cruising speeds.

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 entry point if you want the Accord’s core strengths at the lowest starting price. It keeps the car’s practical character intact, but you give up the upgraded touchscreen infotainment system found higher up the range.
• Sport: This trim adds a bit more performance character, including the stronger 2.4-liter engine tune and larger brakes and wheels. It makes sense if you want a more engaging drive without jumping to the V6.
• EX: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it unlocks the touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and HondaLink while staying below the upper trims.
• EX-L: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and the option to add the V6. It is the trim to target if you want stronger power without going all the way to the Touring.
• Touring: This is the top trim and the one to buy if you want the most equipment, the V6, and Honda Sensing standard. It is the most complete version, but you pay for that extra content.

Honda Sensing is available on every version, but you cannot combine it with the manual transmission.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 24.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,225 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.99% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 45.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,142.14, 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 $14,446 sits slightly below last year's $14,892.

That kind of softening suggests the market is giving buyers a bit more room than it did a year ago. If you plan to sell later, the current trend is a reminder that pricing competitively will matter, especially if you want to move the car quickly.

The Accord still benefits from broad appeal, and that helps support demand over time. A model with strong owner satisfaction tends to stay on shoppers’ shortlists, which can help preserve resale value.

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?

Except for four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection as assigned by the federal government, the Accord earns top marks in every other assessment performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

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

Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite, 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 available on every version, but you cannot combine it with the manual transmission.

A reversing camera is standard, and LaneWatch is offered on the EX, EX-L, and Touring, but it only monitors the right side. The absence of rear cross-traffic alert and a traditional blind-spot warning system is a notable limitation, especially if you want the most complete safety setup.

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:

• 24.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 45.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.99% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.38/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Honda’s 2016 updates improve the Accord while keeping its practical, family-sedan character intact.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $13,321, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,446 average.
• It is exceptionally well-engineered and built to provide dependable service for many years.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger overall package, the 2016 is the better target because it adds meaningful improvements and still prices reasonably. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2015 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Accord’s core strengths.
