2026 Honda Accord review

Honda Accord: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review

7.6/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Honda Accord is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Good trunk for the footprint; efficient in mixed driving. Some features locked to upper trims and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $30,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Second one we've owned

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.

Replaced an older Honda with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
