• Infotainment: a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, text-messaging support, and HondaLink connected services
• Fuel efficiency: According to the EPA, the Accord LX and EX should return 32 mpg in combined driving.

Which Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda Accord offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim uses the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder and gives you the Accord’s core sedan formula at the lowest price point in the 2023 lineup.
• EX: This step-up trim adds an eight-speaker audio system, and it is the best-value trim if you want a more complete everyday setup without moving up the lineup.
• Sport: From this trim up, hybrid power is standard, so you get the hybrid system along with a more performance-oriented position in the range.
• Touring: This upper trim sits at the top of the 2023 lineup and is the natural choice if you want the most upscale version of the Accord’s hybrid setup.

What Honda Accord do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing competition, and a broader mix of trims and conditions. That usually makes it easier to find the right combination of features and value.

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 points to softer pricing across much of the lineup. The newer recent-model years are also showing declines, so you may find better value on late-model examples than you would have a year ago. The smallest changes are concentrated in the older model years, which suggests those cars have been moving more steadily.

The 2015, 2016, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
