Which Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Accord offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim gives you the Accord’s roomy cabin and core everyday usability, and it suits you if you want the most affordable way into the lineup.
• SE: This is the best-value trim, adding blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert along with 19-inch wheels and a more upscale look and feel.

What Honda Accord do most buyers choose?

The Honda Accord years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume model years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a broader mix of availability, pricing, and trim choices. That usually makes it easier for you to find the combination of features and value you want.

What is the Honda Accord's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The declines are generally modest to moderate, with only one year showing a gain. That pattern suggests the Accord remains in demand while still giving you room to find value.

The 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Honda Accord now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −3.04% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −3.07%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,684. The Honda Accord offers a roomy cabin and a polished, easy-to-live-with character that has long made it a benchmark family sedan.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine supplies 192 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 192 pound-feet of torque between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm, and the Accord SE test car averaged 29.3 mpg on our fuel economy evaluation loop with a 50:50 mix of city and highway driving.
• Tech: Every Accord has a 10.2-inch digital instrumentation panel, and the 2026 model adds a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless smartphone charger.
• Safety: The 2026 Accord adds blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert on the SE trim.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
