Honda Accord News, Pricing and Reviews

Introduced to Japan in 1976, Honda Accord was effectively a slightly larger Civic derivative. Yet, Accord took Honda to the American mainstream with a larger, more comfortable interior, greater engine power, and standard accessories, generally reserved for midsize domestic cars costing thousands of dollars more - that trend continues today.

The first car manufactured in North America by a Japanese auto manufacturer, the Marysville, Ohio mainstay, comes to market in 2018 as the first turbocharged Honda midsize sedan. But that’s only part of story. Today, Accord is the best selling (non fleet) midsize 4-door sedan in the US. Available in 3 variants, including the very fuel efficient Accord Hybrid, with a beginning MSRP of $24,445, * includes destination charge. You will find the latest Accord developments, news and reviews here at Torque News.
