Of One Accord: 2023 Honda Accord

Hondas are kind of our thing, but they are our thing because we believe in the product. Honda is a brand that provides excellence in an accessible manner. Some brands are making luxury and performance vehicles, selling them at prices that nobody can actually afford. Honda, on the other hand, provides vehicles that provide luxury and performance features comparable to many of those brands but at prices that are far more affordable. Take the Accord, for example. It’s a terrific sedan that offers the opportunity for luxury features, hybrid engineering, and solid performance.

You could easily pay top dollar for a vehicle like this, but instead, Honda finds ways to keep both the car and the price manageable while not feeling like you’re receiving a “lesser product.” To take you through the details of everything we love about the 2023 Accord would take far too long, but everything we love about it can be summed up into three main points: advanced hybrid engineering, technology and design advancements, and decades of loyal drivers. If you’re looking for a Honda Accord for sale, 2023 is the year to buy.

The Accord is no stranger to hybrid engineering, having offered a hybrid model for years now. However, the 2023 model year benefits from the significant improvements the hybrid powertrain has gone through since it was first introduced to the model in 2005. The Honda Accord is currently in its eleventh generation, but this is the fifth one to include a hybrid powertrain option.

The 2023 Accord hybrid models offer a two-motor hybrid-electric system. With this system, you have a direct-injection engine in the 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine. The exciting and different part of this new hybrid setup is that this engine is paired with two electric motors that are mounted side-by-side. The benefits of this are not only in terms of vehicle efficiency but also vehicle capability; 204 hp and 247 pounds-feet of torque speak for themselves.

Hybrid vehicles really do pay off, both directly and indirectly. Indirectly, they pay off by providing higher-level capability features, as we’ve just discussed. Indirectly, they pay off by significantly reducing your gas bills. Hybrid vehicles allow you to combine your engine’s gas-guzzling standard driving with highly-efficient battery-operated driving. The result of this is that you don’t have to adjust your life to a fully electric vehicle, but you receive the benefit of much higher efficiency, which means more electric power, less gas consumed, and, therefore, less gas needed. This means less time and money spent on gas stops; that’s something anyone can get excited about. Especially with a new and improved hybrid system like the 2023 Accord has, this is a train you’ll want to consider onboarding.

The new two-motor hybrid system doesn’t cap it off at high-performance specs and high efficiency; this side-by-side orientation also takes handling and responsiveness to a whole new level, especially at high speeds. The hybrid control system is now able to better manage the proper balance of engine and battery power, depending upon the conditions, to provide the optimal balance for the specifics of the drive at hand. If you’re looking for a hybrid sedan, the Accord really is your model. The 2023 model warrants the consideration of anybody looking for something truly special.

The Accord can be as tech-savvy as you want it to be. One of the exciting things about the Accord is that it provides the opportunity to work your way up to some very high-level luxury features. The 2023 model, in particular, is taking some big strides forward when it comes to design, offering a higher level of luxury than the Accord has seen in previous years. With new and cutting-edge materials featured in new design schemes, such as the Piano Black trim, the Accord has the ability to offer an environment of true refinement. This is a great asset for any business professionals looking for a higher-end commuter vehicle without breaking the bank. If sporty is what you’re going for, the Accord is more than able to accommodate.

Now, in the current age of vehicle development, where there are sporty features, there are also high-level tech features. The Accord is taking a significant step in tech leadership for the 2023 model year by adding one available feature in particular: Google Built-In. You may have heard of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; these allow you to connect your smartphone to your infotainment screen, giving you access to messaging, apps, and even Google Maps. It’s a great feature, to be sure, and one you can find in the Accord, but Google Built-In takes things to a whole new level.

When the Accord says “Built-In,” it means built-in. Google capability is literally part of your Accord, and you have access to all things Google right on your infotainment screen. You do not need to connect any kind of exterior advice; it is just always there. So, you can run Google searches, access Google Maps, contacts, and everything else you could desire to use Google for while driving–all from your infotainment screen. Google Maps has become a leader in navigation, so having it built into your vehicle is a massive asset. This will give you access to real-time updates, POI identification, and an overall seamless driving experience thanks to the high level of integration that this system provides.

Aside from Maps, you’ll also have access to Google Play, which allows you to download the apps you want right into your vehicle. Google Built-In is only the foundation for the tremendous features that are made possible by its foundation. Of course, whatever you’re doing with Google Built-In will be enjoyed on the Accord’s largest-ever touchscreen at 12.3 inches. Moreover, the music you’re enjoying via Google Play will sound clearly through a 12-speaker Bose audio system, offering Bose SurroundStage digital signal processing and Centerpoint technology. This is a next-level audio system custom-designed for the 2023 Accord, and if you’re an audio person, you won’t want to miss this feature.

No matter what your technology preferences are, Over the Air software updates will make sure that you always have the latest and the greatest. There is no longer any need to take your vehicle in for an update–the vehicle will update itself for you. Between its advanced hybrid engineering, its potential for luxury and sportiness, and its leading technology features, you have to work to find a downside to the 2023 Accord. That brings us to our third point!

The Honda Accord first hit the market in 1976, and it has been going strong ever since. Through years of changing tastes and the rise of the SUV, the Honda Accord has held on, continued to improve, and maintained a strong base of fans who buy it over and over again. That doesn’t happen with a vehicle–especially a sedan–unless it’s doing something right. The 2023 Honda Accord continues to carry on the legacy of this model, with the brand showing its dedication to making the vehicle fit with changing needs with the inclusion of more luxury-level materials and exciting new features like a large touchscreen and Google Built-In.

As we said before, there is a lot to love about the newest Honda Accord model, and we’ve only touched on a couple of those points.
