The 2023 Honda Accord gets a clever hybrid powertrain.
We may live in an SUV/crossover world, but the Honda Accord is still important. Last year, it was the third best-selling Honda car in North America, behind just the CR-V and Civic. So, Honda is sticking with its perennial mid-sizer. The automaker pulled the wraps off the new, 11th-generation on Thursday.
Like most all-new Honda-branded cars launched in the last few years, the Accord is a heavily revised version of its predecessor. Length is increased by 2.8 inches to 195.7 inches total, and the rear track grows 0.4 inches, but otherwise, the dimensions between the new and old Accords are identical. The bodywork is new, though, fitting in line with Honda's understated restyling of Civic, HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot, and the interior is very similar to the excellent cabin of the new Civic.
Replacing the optional 2.0-liter turbo four is a new hybrid powertrain like that used on the new CR-V, though with some tuning differences. It consists of a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated direct-injection four-cylinder running the Atkinson cycle, rather than the traditional Otto cycle. The internal-combustion engine primarily acts as a generator to charge the battery, but it can also drive the front wheels via two ratios in certain scenarios.
