How much does the 2016 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 2.83% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,250 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

If you find a listing below $14,139.59, 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 — the 2016 Honda Accord earns 4.38/5 from owners and 6.83/10 from our experts. 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. The overview frames it as a practical family sedan that helps you avoid surprise costs, while still delivering broad everyday competence. With 28.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also 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.

Drivers’ feedback points to reliability, dependable transportation, and a car that many owners feel comfortable counting on over time. The expert summary also describes it as a good hedge against unanticipated expenses, and the cost-effectiveness notes reinforce that with favorable reliability ratings and low insurance costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that individual cars can still show the quality issues and defects mentioned by some owners, so condition matters a lot.

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

At 45.1% 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 accident record or inconsistent service history. Focus on bodywork quality, signs of repair, and whether the equipment on the car matches the trim you expect. Because owner feedback mentions some quality issues and serious defects in certain units, you’ll want to judge each example on its own condition rather than the badge alone.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most basic setup, while the EX, EX-L, Sport, and Touring add more equipment and polish. The base car also misses the touchscreen infotainment system, and the EX, EX-L, and Touring get LaneWatch instead of a traditional blind-spot warning system.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, with the Sport tuned to 189 hp. If you want the 3.5-liter V6, you need the EX-L with the option or the Touring, and the V6 is the stronger choice if you care most about effortless passing and highway merging.
• 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: The touchscreen system uses a 7-inch display and adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Siri Eyes Free. You need the EX, EX-L, or Touring to get it.
• Fuel efficiency: The four-cylinder 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 highway 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 least expensive path into the Accord, but it is also the most stripped-down. Choose it if you want the core sedan experience and are willing to give up the nicer tech and convenience features found higher up.
• Sport: This trim adds a bit more attitude and gets the slightly stronger 189-hp version of the four-cylinder. It makes sense if you want a more engaging feel without moving all the way up the range.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it unlocks the touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and LaneWatch. It is the sweet spot if you want a more modern cabin without paying for the top trims.
• EX-L: This is the right choice if you want a more upscale feel and the option to add the V6. It suits you best if comfort and stronger acceleration matter more than keeping the price down.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the V6 and Honda Sensing standard. Buy this if you want the most complete Accord and are willing to pay for it.

Honda Sensing is standard 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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,250 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.83% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 45.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,139.59, 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 $14,432 sits slightly below last year's $14,852.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim desirability than on broad market momentum. Well-kept examples should still attract interest, but you should expect buyers to be selective.

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 and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

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 every version, but you cannot combine it with the manual transmission. The car also comes with a standard reversing camera with three viewpoints, including a 180-degree rear view.

A key caveat is that rear cross-traffic alert and a traditional blind-spot warning system are not included. 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:

• 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 45.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.83% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.38/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Honda’s 2016 updates improve the Accord while keeping its strong driving dynamics and standard Honda Sensing appeal.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $13,291, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,432 average.
• It is exceptionally well-engineered and built to provide dependable service for many years.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more safety-forward version of this sedan, the 2016 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2015 is the more budget-friendly route and still keeps the Accord’s core strengths intact.
