How it scores for you10 scores
A perfect-5★ safety record, 48-MPG efficiency, and class-leading handling make this a standout family sedan, if you can look past its heavy engine and electrical complaint tally.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 11 recalls were serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +6 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5).
About $1,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 86% of cars we track.
16.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 86% of other sedans we track.
Generous rear legroom and spacious cabin are Accord hallmarks; 16.7 cu ft trunk is large. Hybrid loses slight trunk space but overall very roomy.
The 10th-gen Accord is widely praised for its sharp handling and composed chassis, best-in-class among midsize sedans, though the hybrid's 192hp prioritizes efficiency over outright thrill.
Offers Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Honda Sensing safety suite standard, and a return of physical volume knob. Solid but not cutting-edge versus premium tech leaders.
Known for a quiet, well-damped ride and supportive seats, above segment norm for a midsize sedan.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
