How much does the 2023 Honda Accord cost?

Prices have softened 2.42% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,399 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Honda Accord a good car?

The 2023 Honda Accord is a strong choice if you want a polished family sedan that emphasizes driving enjoyment and everyday usefulness, though its value case is more mixed than its core strengths. It earns 3.5/5 from users and 6.67/10 from our experts.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

From the test-drive notes, you get a fun-to-drive character, a spacious interior, and great safety ratings. The trade-offs are that all-wheel drive is not available and there are several minor comfort issues, so it is better suited to shoppers who prioritize the basics done well than to buyers chasing maximum versatility or flash.

Good and great deals account for 34.2% of listings, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Honda Accord reliable?

The 2023 Accord is presented as a robust, well-sorted sedan with a suspension that filters out a lot of harshness and a powertrain that feels adequately refined for daily use. Honda’s standard maintenance coverage also helps reduce early ownership friction.

The performance notes point to a car that is easy to drive in town, with excellent outward visibility, good steering response, and a chassis that feels composed on winding roads. The cost-effectiveness notes also mention two years or 24,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance on new Hondas, which is a useful ownership perk if you are comparing used and new pricing.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is still a comparatively expensive sedan, so any repair or upkeep surprise can weigh more heavily against its value proposition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Honda Accord?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the suspension, brakes, tires, and any signs of prior bodywork or uneven wear. Because the Accord is positioned as a practical daily driver, condition matters a lot: a well-kept example should feel tight, quiet, and free of obvious cabin or road-noise issues.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX and step-up EX are the gas-only variants, while the EX adds a more appealing cabin presentation with cloth seats, metal mesh dashboard trim, and an eight-speaker audio system. The EX is the better-value pick if you want a nicer-feeling interior without moving up the lineup.
• Powertrain: The LX and EX use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive. The engine is described as adequate rather than exciting, and the CVT can produce some drone under hard acceleration.
• Safety package: Every car gets Honda Sensing, which includes adaptive cruise control with traffic-jam assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, a reversing camera with three views, automatic high-beam headlights, traffic sign recognition, and a driver monitoring system. On the EX, an affordable option package adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: You get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch touchscreen, plus Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, text-messaging support, HondaLink connected services, Wi-Fi access, an SOS emergency call button, and two USB-C ports. The EX also adds an eight-speaker audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The LX and EX are rated at 32 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2023 Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda Accord is offered in 2 trim levels: LX and EX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Accord experience with the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, Honda Sensing, the 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and the 7-inch touchscreen. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is the more basic choice.
• EX: This is the better-value trim because it adds a more upscale cabin feel, an eight-speaker audio system, and the option to add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. If you want the most satisfying mix of equipment and price, this is the trim to target.

Every 2023 Accord includes Honda Sensing, and the EX can be optioned with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Honda Accord?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,399 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.42% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,576, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Honda Accord's resale value?

The current average of $24,361 sits slightly below last year's $24,965.

That softer pricing suggests the Accord has already moved a bit in buyers' favor, which can help you if you are shopping now. For a future seller, it means you should expect the market to reward clean condition, strong service history, and desirable equipment more than simply relying on the model name alone.

Because the year-over-year change is modest, resale should remain fairly stable if you keep the car in good shape. The biggest advantage will likely come from buying well and avoiding overpaying up front.

Is the 2023 Honda Accord safe?

The 2023 Honda Accord earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS crash tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2023 Accord has Honda Sensing, which includes adaptive cruise control with traffic-jam assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, a reversing camera with three views, automatic high-beam headlights, traffic sign recognition, and a driver monitoring system. Honda also offers blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert on the EX through an affordable option package.

Should I buy a 2023 Honda Accord or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.42% compared with last year.
• It gives you a redesigned Accord with a fun-to-drive character, a spacious interior, and strong safety credentials.

The bottom line: The 2023 Accord makes sense if you want the redesigned version and value its blend of driving enjoyment, safety, and everyday practicality. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to shop carefully for the cleanest, best-priced example rather than paying a premium for a marginally equipped car.
