2023 Honda Accord teased, debuts in November

The 2023 Honda Accord debuts in November, but in the meantime Honda has launched a teaser of the redesigned mid-measurement sedan.

Honda was limited on details—including the actual expose date—in its brief press release, but confirmed a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Google crafted-in connectivity (a first for the brand name), and “a more responsive and enjoyable-to-drive hybrid powertrain.”

Teaser photos clearly show styling that appearances influenced by the a short while ago redesigned Civic, particularly in the taillights, with a bit of the 2023 CR-V in the grille. Honda also gave a glimpse of that new touchscreen, which is a great deal much larger than the current-generation Accord’s 8.-inch screen and much more in line with the offerings of other automakers.

The 2023 Accord signifies the model’s 11th technology, changing a model that dates again to the 2018 model calendar year. The Accord has remained a benchmark for mid-sizing sedans, although it really is likely less vital to Honda’s bottom line now that crossovers are the car industry’s dollars cows.

Powertrain details will have to wait around right up until the 2023 Accord’s November expose, but don’t bet on a return of the handbook transmission. Honda killed off just after the 2020 model calendar year.

One dilemma is how a lot Honda designs to emphasize the new Accord Hybrid. The automaker formerly reported it prepared to improve the model blend of the 2023 CR-V to 50% hybrid revenue as part of an energy to use hybrids as a gateway to electric powered cars, which will start arriving in earnest with the 2024 Prologue SUV. Honda is also setting up a new Civic Hybrid as a replacement for the Perception, so hybrids will be an important element of the automaker’s options going ahead.
