Which Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda Accord offers these trims:

• EX: This trim adds an eight-speaker audio system, a more upscale cabin presentation, and is the best-value choice if you want a well-equipped gas-only Accord.
• Sport: From this trim up, hybrid power is standard, making it the first step into the Accord’s electrified lineup.
• EX-L: This trim adds a far more efficient powertrain rated to return 48 mpg, quicker acceleration, leather seats, and a better infotainment system.

What Honda Accord do most buyers choose?

The Honda Accord years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2019.

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they combine broad availability with newer features and familiar pricing. When more listings are on the market, you also have a better chance of finding the right trim, color, and condition.

What is the Honda Accord's resale value?

Most Accord model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The newer years are also seeing meaningful price movement, so recent-model shoppers may find better opportunities than they did a year ago.

The 2015, 2016, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
