How much does the 2016 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 1.42% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,307 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

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. In practical terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want a well-rounded family sedan with broad everyday appeal and a reputation for being easy to live with.

With 30.0% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Honda Accord reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to reliability, comfort, and fuel efficiency as recurring strengths, and it also frames the car as a good value for families and new drivers. The expert evaluation adds that the Accord is a good hedge against unanticipated expenses, with favorable reliability ratings helping support its affordability.

Honda also positions this model as a practical ownership choice by pairing it with low insurance costs and a reputation for efficient operation. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some units have reported quality issues and serious defects, so condition and maintenance history matter.

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 had bodywork or multiple owners. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior repair quality, and whether the car’s equipment works as expected, since small issues can add up over time.

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 base car also misses the touchscreen infotainment setup that appears on higher trims, so feature gaps are worth checking carefully if you want a more modern cabin.
• 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 delivers 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 every version, but you cannot pair it with the manual transmission.
• Infotainment: Higher trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with HondaLink, Siri Eyes Free, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The system is not on the LX or Sport, so those trims are the ones to check if smartphone integration matters to you.
• Fuel efficiency: The 4-cylinder is described as refined and efficient, and the V6 averaged 24.6 mpg on the test loop while returning 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 value-focused starting point, but it is also the most stripped-down version. Choose it if you want the lowest entry price and can live without the more advanced infotainment and convenience upgrades found higher up the range.
• Sport: This trim adds a bit more punch from the 4-cylinder and gets larger front brakes and 19-inch wheels. It suits you if you want a more athletic feel without moving all the way to the pricier trims.
• EX: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it unlocks the touchscreen infotainment system, HondaLink, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and LaneWatch. It gives you a big jump in everyday usability without going all the way to luxury territory.
• EX-L: This trim builds on the EX with more upscale equipment and is also the gateway to the V6 option. It makes sense if you want a more premium feel or stronger power without stepping up to the Touring.
• Touring: This is the fully loaded version with the V6 standard and the most complete equipment set. Choose it if you want the most power and the richest feature content, and you do not mind paying for it.

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 is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,307 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.42% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 43.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,140, 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 $14,407 sits slightly below last year's $14,615.

That modest decline suggests the market has softened a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. Even so, the Accord’s broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction should help it remain easy to move when the time comes. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintain it well, you should be in a better position than with a less in-demand 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 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 standard on every version of the Accord, and it includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, road-departure prevention, and adaptive cruise control. The main caveat is that you cannot combine it with the manual transmission, and the package does not include rear cross-traffic alert or a traditional blind-spot warning system.

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:

• 30.0% 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 1.42% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.38/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Honda added Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Honda Sensing to make the cabin and safety tech more competitive.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $13,240, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,407 average.
• It is described as exceptionally well-engineered and likely to provide dependable service for many years.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more modern choice, the 2016 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front and you are comfortable giving up some of the 2016 updates, the 2015 is the value play.
