LX
The starting model of the new Honda Accord – the LX – focuses on essential features. The screen is larger than previous model years, at 9 inches, and you'll have amenities like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Unlike other models in its market space, the Honda Accord LX also has wireless phone charging, simplifying connectivity across all trims. Additionally, an all-gas, 192-horsepower FWD powertrain makes the Accord easy to control.
SE
The SE builds upon the LX by adding an eight-speaker audio system. You'll enjoy a heated front seat (with 10-way power adjustment and two-way lumbar support) and dual-zone automatic climate control. It also features a Blind Spot Information System to keep an eye out behind you, as well as a moonroof that lets natural light in.
Sport Hybrid
This level introduces two significant features to the lineup: a hybrid engine and sporty flair. The hybrid engine delivers 204 total horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque, a naturally better fit for drivers who want a bit of extra acceleration on the road. The Sport Hybrid also comes with sport pedals and the Sport drive mode to put you behind the wheel of a track-ready cockpit. You'll also enjoy a 12.3-inch center touchscreen and gloss-black exterior amenities.
EX-L Hybrid
Perhaps the most significant change for the Honda Accord interior sits within this fourth trim level. The cabin now features leather upholstery, and the passenger seat offers enhanced power adjustments. An automatic-dimming rearview mirror improves visibility in all conditions, while front and rear parking sensors simplify maneuvering. The EX-L Hybrid also stands out as the most fuel-efficient model in the lineup, with up to an EPA-estimated 51/44/48 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1
Sport-L Hybrid
The Sport-L Hybrid is the most luxurious Honda Accord that also features a sport-inspired design. The upgrades provided by the EX-L Hybrid remain, but the addition of sport pedals creates a more track-inspired driving experience. A gloss-black spoiler and gloss-black mirror covers complete the look, just as they do for the Sport Hybrid trim. However, you will trade in some features as a result, such as the Front and Rear Parking Sensors.
Touring Hybrid
The flagship trim of the Honda Accord brings luxury to this accessible midsize sedan. A heated steering wheel keeps you comfortable during late-night driving, and Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers automatically activate when the weather gets intense. A 6-inch Head-Up Display lets you keep your eyes on the road, and your audio array is now a 12-speaker Bose® premium system. Ventilated front- and rear-second-row outboard seats keep you comfortable wherever your vacations take you. For the ultimate luxury experience, with even better temperature control than previous trim levels, the Touring Hybrid is the upgrade package for you.
Do the Configurations of a Honda Accord Vary by Trim?
There are no additional Honda Accord configurations outside of the gas-only (LX, SE) and hybrid (Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, Touring Hybrid) trims. All Honda Accord models are FWD and feature the same amount of headroom and cargo space – though the LX has slightly more headroom than its siblings, while the others have a moonroof.
Pros & Cons: Which Accord Trim Is for You?
| Trim | Pros | Trade-Offs | Best For |
| LX | Affordability | More simple features | Commuters |
| SE | Big step in tech | Small touchscreen | Temperature-conscious drivers |
| Sport Hybrid | Hybrid tech, smooth driving | Focus on sportiness reduces fuel efficiency | Thrill-seekers |
| EX-L Hybrid | Incredible fuel economy | Fewer sport features | Eco-conscious commuters |
| Sport-L Hybrid | Smooth driving with incredible features | Lower fuel economy | Luxury-loving thrill-seekers |
| Touring Hybrid | Highest-end luxury features | Fewer sport options | Luxury-minded drivers |

Chrystal, Yussef, and Danny helped me find the exact car I was looking for at an amazing price! It was my first time buying a car and I honestly didn't know what to expect but they made it an extremely painless. Overall I had a wonderful experience getting my new Accord here and would recommend others to do the same if you're in the market for a Honda.
