The 2026 Honda Accord starts at $28,395 MSRP for the LX trim, with a destination charge of $1,295 applied across all six configurations. The pricing ladder is straightforward: two turbocharged gas trims anchor the entry and mid-range, while four hybrid trims cover the upper half of the lineup.
| Feature | 1.5T LX CVT | 1.5T SE CVT | Hybrid EX-L | Hybrid Sport | Hybrid Sport-L | Hybrid Touring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base MSRP | $28,395 | $30,695 | $35,095 | $33,795 | $35,495 | $39,495 |
All trims share a destination charge of $1,295.
Fuel costs are where the hybrid trims make a compelling long-term case. The Hybrid EX-L reaches 48 mpg combined, and the gas LX still delivers a respectable 32 mpg combined — meaningful savings on daily drives through rolling Piedmont terrain.

The 2026 Honda Accord wears a sleek, fastback-inspired silhouette that reads as distinctly modern without being aggressive — a profile that fits naturally alongside both revitalized downtown blocks and suburban driveways. The sedan measures 195.7 inches in overall length, 73.3 inches wide, and 57.1 inches tall, giving it a low, wide stance on a 111.4-inch wheelbase.
Full LED lighting runs across every trim — LED low beams, high beams, daytime running lights, and LED rear and brake lights are standard equipment. Auto high-beam control and a dusk sensor are also included, so the car adapts to changing light conditions on evening commutes without driver input.
The exterior color palette includes five options: Platinum White Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, Meteorite Gray Metallic, and Solar Silver Metallic. Sport-oriented trims wear black window trim in place of chrome, while the Hybrid Touring and LX retain bright chrome surround accents. The Hybrid Sport and Sport-L add a standard trunk spoiler for a more athletic stance.
For buyers considering a pre-owned option, Piedmont Honda also maintains a selection of Honda certified pre-owned Accords that have passed Honda's multi-point inspection process.
Two distinct powertrains are available across the six trim levels, and the choice between them has real-world implications for anyone navigating the gently rolling terrain of the Piedmont foothills daily.
The LX and SE run a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder producing 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive. The four hybrid trims — Hybrid Sport, Hybrid EX-L, Hybrid Sport-L, and Hybrid Touring — step up to a naturally aspirated 2L four-cylinder with a hybrid system, raising output to 204 hp and a substantially stronger 247 lb-ft of torque. All six trims use a CVT and front-wheel drive.
| Feature | 1.5T LX CVT | 1.5T SE CVT | Hybrid EX-L | Hybrid Sport | Hybrid Sport-L | Hybrid Touring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5L | 1.5L | 2L | 2L | 2L | 2L |
| Horsepower | 192 hp | 192 hp | 204 hp | 204 hp | 204 hp | 204 hp |
| Torque | 192 lb-ft | 192 lb-ft | 247 lb-ft | 247 lb-ft | 247 lb-ft | 247 lb-ft |
All trims share: Transmission: CVT · Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
The hybrid's 247 lb-ft of torque is particularly noticeable when merging onto highways or climbing grades — the electric motor delivers its peak pull instantly. The front-strut / rear-multi-link independent suspension keeps the ride composed on uneven pavement without sacrificing handling confidence.
When it's time for scheduled maintenance, Piedmont Honda makes it easy to book a service appointment online and keep your Accord running at its best.
Five adults fit genuinely comfortably in the Accord. Front legroom measures 42.3 inches, rear legroom is 40.8 inches, and front shoulder room reaches 57.9 inches — numbers that translate to real comfort on longer drives to events or weekend outings. The trunk delivers about 17 cu ft of cargo space, enough for a full set of weekend gear or a stroller alongside grocery bags.
| Feature | 1.5T LX CVT | 1.5T SE CVT | Hybrid EX-L | Hybrid Sport | Hybrid Sport-L | Hybrid Touring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curb weight | 3,239 lbs | 3,311 lbs | 3,468 lbs | 3,477 lbs | 3,488 lbs | 3,532 lbs |
All trims share: Seating: 5 · Cargo: about 17 cu ft
Interior materials escalate meaningfully as you move up the lineup. The LX and SE use cloth seating in black or gray, while the Hybrid EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring upgrade to leather. The Hybrid EX-L adds a power-adjustable driver's seat with electric lumbar support, and the Hybrid Touring goes further with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel.
All trims include dual illuminated visor mirrors, ambient lighting, a wireless charging pad, and front and rear cup holders. The climate system steps from single-zone automatic on the LX to dual-zone automatic from the SE upward — a practical upgrade for families where driver and passenger preferences differ.
Honda's commitment to safety extends across its lineup; if you're curious how that compares to another Honda model, you can read about Honda CR-V safety features as a point of reference.
The LX and SE come with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment display paired with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. The Hybrid Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring upgrade to a larger 12.3-inch center touchscreen while retaining the same 10.2-inch digital cluster. The Hybrid Touring adds a windshield-projected head-up display, which keeps speed and navigation prompts in the driver's sightline without requiring a glance down.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across all six trims — no cable required. Every Accord also includes Bluetooth, four USB charging ports (2 front, 2 rear), a wireless charging pad, and an embedded Wi-Fi hotspot providing 3 GB per month for three months. HondaLink Security telematics comes with a 12-month subscription and supports remote lock/unlock, vehicle start, speed alerts, geo-fencing, and theft alerts.
The LX ships with 4 speakers; the SE and all hybrid trims step up to 8 speakers. The Hybrid Touring tops the lineup with a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system complete with a subwoofer and surround sound. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current without a dealer visit.
Every 2026 Accord — including the entry-level LX — ships with a comprehensive suite of active safety technology as standard equipment. Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) monitors the road ahead and applies automatic emergency braking at speeds as low as 3 mph, covering both urban stop-and-go situations and highway driving. The Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) provides active steering correction when the vehicle drifts toward lane markings.
Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability is standard across all trims, as are front and rear parking sensors on the Hybrid EX-L and Hybrid Touring, and a Multi-Angle Rear View Camera with Dynamic Guidelines on every trim. The SE and all hybrid trims add the Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Cross Traffic Monitor — radar-based systems that alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side or rear when backing out of a parking space.
Structural protection is equally thorough: all trims carry 10 airbags covering front, side, curtain, and knee positions for both occupants. NHTSA awarded the Accord a 5-star overall safety rating, and the IIHS recognized it with a Top Safety Pick designation, with "Good" ratings across moderate overlap, small overlap, and side impact tests.
The six-trim lineup gives buyers a clear path from essential to premium. The LX at $28,395 delivers the full safety suite, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and a cloth interior — a complete, capable sedan. The SE at $30,695 adds a sunroof, an 8-speaker audio system, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, BSI, and 19-inch alloy wheels, making it the value standpoint of the gas lineup.
Stepping into the hybrid family, the Hybrid Sport at $33,795 brings the 2L hybrid powertrain, 204 hp, 247 lb-ft of torque, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a sport exterior package including a trunk spoiler. The Hybrid EX-L at $35,095 adds leather seating, a memory driver's seat, and front/rear parking sensors. The Hybrid Sport-L at $35,495 pairs the sport exterior with leather seating and the memory seat system. The Hybrid Touring at $39,495 is the flagship, adding a 12-speaker Bose audio system, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, and adaptive dampers.

The 2026 Honda Accord has earned recognition from several of the industry's most respected evaluators. Car and Driver placed it on its 10Best Cars — 2026 list, noting that the Accord mixes everyday practicality with engaging driving dynamics in a way that continues a legacy of excellence spanning decades. U.S. News & World Report named it Best Cars for Families (Midsize Cars) — 2026 and Best Car for the Money (Best Midsize Car) — 2026. Good Housekeeping selected it as Best Family Sedan — 2026. Edmunds summarizes it plainly: the Accord remains a real heavyweight in the midsize sedan segment, boasting a fantastic blend of comfort, style, efficiency, and driving dynamics that are still hard to match in an SUV without spending considerably more.
The 2026 Accord offers two powertrain families. The 1.5T LX achieves 29 city / 37 highway / 32 combined MPG, and the 1.5T SE returns 28 city / 36 highway / 31 combined MPG. All four hybrid trims — Hybrid EX-L, Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Sport-L, and Hybrid Touring — deliver 46 city / 41 highway / 44 combined MPG, except the Hybrid EX-L, which leads the lineup at 51 city / 44 highway / 48 combined MPG. All figures are EPA-rated.
All six trims share about 17 cu ft of trunk space. That's enough room for a full set of fishing gear from a Lake Greenwood day trip, a stroller, or several bags of groceries alongside a weekend bag. The rear seatback folds on the SE and all hybrid trims (asymmetrically split) to extend the load floor when needed.
Every trim — including the base LX — includes Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, a Multi-Angle Rear View Camera, 10 airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, and a 5-star NHTSA overall rating.
