How much does the 2020 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 6.76% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,101 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $19,996.50, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2020 Honda Accord a good car?

Generally — 4.35/5 from owners, which points to strong overall satisfaction. It also earns an 8.33/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Technology.

Drivers consistently praise its comfort, stylish design, and strong value, and many also like the available 2.0T engine and the Honda Sensing safety system. The Accord’s roomy back seat and easy-to-use tech also come through as recurring strengths.

The main trade-off is that the base engine is described as underwhelming, and the expert review also notes that the front tires can struggle to put down the 2.0T’s power when you really get on the throttle. In practical terms, this is a sedan that fits you well if you want a polished daily driver with space and tech, but you may want to shop above the entry-level setup if you care about stronger acceleration.

The market also looks reasonably accessible, with 28.9% of listings classified as good or great deals.

Is the 2020 Honda Accord reliable?

Owners rate it 4.35/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers’ feedback points to a car that feels comfortable, dependable, and like a worthwhile long-term investment. The expert review also emphasizes that the Accord can go the distance and deliver a decade or more of faithful, useful service.

Honda’s cost-effectiveness notes reinforce that long-haul ownership appeal, even if the car is not the strongest bargain when new. For used buyers, the main risk is making sure prior maintenance and condition match the model’s reputation for durability.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Honda Accord?

At 56.7% 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 you are considering a higher-mileage example or a car with a lower-than-average price. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the car drives as smoothly as it should. If you are shopping a trim with more equipment, make sure the added features still work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Accord comes in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims. The Sport and Touring trims add 19-inch wheels, while other versions use 17-inch wheels that are cheaper to replace. Higher trims also bring a more upscale cabin feel, with the Touring model standing out for its luxurious look and feel.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 192 horsepower and a continuously variable transmission. A 212-horsepower hybrid is also available, and the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder makes 252 horsepower with a ten-speed automatic. The 2.0T is the quickest choice, while the hybrid is the efficiency play.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard on every trim and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, and traffic sign recognition. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is reserved for the Sport 2.0T and EX trims or higher.
• Infotainment: The available 8-inch touchscreen includes Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and text-messaging support. Touring adds HondaLink subscription services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, and wireless device charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid averaged 42.6 mpg in testing, and the 2.0T returned 27.4 mpg in mixed driving, which beat the EPA’s 26 mpg combined estimate.

Which 2020 Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2020 Honda Accord is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Accord’s core space, safety, and everyday usability at the lowest price. It gets the standard Honda Sensing suite, but it skips some of the nicer visual and convenience upgrades found higher up.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more distinctive look, 19-inch wheels, and access to the optional 6-speed manual with the 1.5-liter engine. It also unlocks blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, which makes it a smart step up if you want more equipment without going all the way to the top.
• EX: This trim is a good middle ground if you want more comfort and convenience while staying below the luxury-leaning upper trims. It also qualifies for blind-spot monitoring, which helps it feel more complete for daily use.
• EX-L: This is the trim to target if you want a more premium cabin and the standard ten-speaker sound system. It suits you best if comfort and a richer interior matter more than chasing the highest-spec features.
• Touring: This is the fully loaded choice, with the most upscale feel, adaptive dampers, HondaLink, a Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, wireless charging, and a head-up display. It is the right pick if you want the most polished Accord experience and are willing to pay for it.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, but blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert do not come on every trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Honda Accord?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,101 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.76% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 56.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,996.50, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Honda Accord's resale value?

The current average of $20,322 sits slightly below last year's $21,796.

That price movement suggests the Accord has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. A softer market now can also make it easier for you to find a well-kept example without paying peak pricing. Because the Accord still draws strong owner satisfaction, demand should remain healthy enough to support resale over time.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.35/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Honda Accord safe?

Named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and five stars in every assessment conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the 2020 Honda Accord is an exceptionally safe car.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim and includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, and traffic sign recognition. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is limited to the Sport 2.0T and EX trims or higher.

There are a couple of caveats to keep in mind. The adaptive cruise control can react a bit abruptly, and the forward collision warning and lane departure warning systems can give false alerts in shadows or construction zones. The lane departure warning also uses steering-wheel movement rather than vibration, which may feel intrusive to some drivers.

Should I buy a 2020 Honda Accord or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 56.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.76% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.35/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 stands out for its polished styling, roomy cabin, strong tech, and standard Honda Sensing safety suite.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,840, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $20,322 average.
• Honda refined the features list and added a trim level.

The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2020 is the stronger starting point because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal. If you are willing to spend more for a fresher version with a more elevated feature set, the 2021 is the better alternative.
