How much does the 2016 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 1.43% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,384 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 4.4/5 user rating and a 6.8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, reliability, and impressive gas mileage, and they also point to safety features and interior quality as major positives. That lines up with the Accord’s role as a practical midsize family sedan that aims to be easy to live with while still feeling polished. Even with some noted quality issues in certain units, the overall mix of everyday usefulness and broad competence is a strong draw.

The market also shows 29.9% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback repeatedly highlights reliability, comfort, and value, with many drivers describing the Accord as dependable and a smart long-term choice. The expert evaluation also points to favorable reliability ratings and low insurance costs as part of its affordability story. Honda’s cost-effectiveness notes reinforce that this model is built to help you avoid unanticipated expenses.

For used buyers, the main ownership risk is that some cars have reported quality issues, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

At 43.4% 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 been in any collision. Focus on body condition, repair quality, and whether the car’s safety and driver-assistance equipment still functions as intended. Because some owners mention parts failures and serious defects in certain units, you’ll want to be especially attentive to signs of uneven wear or deferred maintenance.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Accord LX is the most basic version, while the EX, EX-L, Sport, and Touring add more equipment and features. The EX, EX-L, and Touring are the trims that get the touchscreen infotainment setup, and the Touring is the most fully equipped version.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, while the EX-L and Touring can be had with a V6. The four-cylinder is refined and efficient, while the V6 delivers stronger passing power and more effortless acceleration.
• 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 available system uses a 7-inch touchscreen, HondaLink connected services, Siri Eyes Free, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The LX and Sport do not get this setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The four-cylinder engine is described as refined and efficient, and the V6 returned better than 34 mpg on the open road in testing.

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 point, but it skips the more advanced infotainment setup.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a little more visual and driving character, though it still misses the touchscreen infotainment system.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and LaneWatch.
• EX-L: Pick this if you want a more upscale feel and the option to add the V6, making it a strong choice for buyers who want more power and comfort.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped Accord, with the standard Honda Sensing package and the broadest feature set.

Honda Sensing is standard on the Touring, and it is available on every version of the Accord except that it cannot be paired 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’re patient.

• Deal availability: 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,384 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.43% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 43.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,121, 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 $14,368 sits slightly below last year's $14,576.

That modest decline suggests the Accord is holding value reasonably well, even if it is not appreciating. For a future seller, that means you should expect steady demand rather than a dramatic price jump. The model’s broad appeal, strong reputation, and practical ownership profile help support resale strength over time.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord safe?

The 2016 Honda Accord earns four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection from NHTSA, and top marks in every other assessment performed by NHTSA and 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 standard on the Touring and available on every version of the Accord, but you cannot combine it with the manual transmission.

A few caveats matter here: rear cross-traffic alert and a traditional blind-spot warning system are not part of the package, and LaneWatch only covers the right-side blind spot on EX, EX-L, and Touring models. The forward collision warning and lane-departure warning systems can also issue false alarms on occasion.

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:

• 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 43.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.43% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Honda made a number of improvements to the 2016 Accord, making it better in several ways.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $13,243, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,368 average.
• It is known for dependable service and strong all-around engineering.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model year with improved features and a still-reasonable price, the 2016 is the better default choice. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2015 is the more budget-friendly path and still brings many of the Accord’s core strengths.

How does the 2016 Honda Accord compare to the 2016 Toyota Camry?

Our experts score the 2016 Honda Accord 6.8/10 and the 2016 Toyota Camry 7.2/10.

The Accord brings stronger performance and better fuel economy in the city and on the highway, while the Camry edges it on expert score and average used price. The Accord also has more listings available, which can make shopping easier. If you want the more engaging and efficient choice, the Accord has the edge; if you want the slightly higher-scoring and cheaper option, the Camry is worth a look.
