The Honda Accord is a mainstay in the world of sedans and the 2024 model is fresh off a redesign that brings new looks and features to Honda’s stalwart family mover. New hybrid powertrain options have arrived and Honda is hoping to sell at least half of new Accords with an electrified powertrain. Handsome styling also defines the new Accord, an exciting departure from a boring past.
The top three stand out categories for the 2024 Honda Accord as voted on my CCOTY jurors are:
- Quality
- Ergonomics
- Cargo
Juror’s Opinion – Jil McIntosh had this to say at AutoTrader.ca:
“The 2023 Honda Accord hybrid is a very pleasant vehicle to drive. I find it preferable to the gas-only version by virtue of that switch from gas to battery, which is very smooth and generally seamless, and that when you need passing power, the combined 247 lb-ft of torque is more than the 192 lb-ft from the gas model.
The steering is responsive, and light enough that it’s easy to get it around tight parking lots. It takes curves very well, and while some regenerative braking systems can result in harsh brake pedal feel, the Honda brakes smoothly and quickly. Hybrids have a pedestrian warning sound at low electric-only speeds, and the Accord’s is a lovely one that sounds like a church choir.”
