The Honda Accord is one of the Honda models that is returning for the 2024 model year. The Honda Accord was remodelled for the 2023 model year, so there’s no hope that Honda will be redesigning the Accord for 2024. If anything, the 2024 Accord will carry similar features to the 2023 model. However, the automaker could switch up some little parts in the Accord.

In this article, we share insights on what is expected of the 2024 Honda Accord entering the market a few months from now.
Overview of the 2024 Honda Accord
The 2024 Honda Accord comes with a potent hybrid option and will seat five passengers comfortably. The vehicle will stand out in comparison with other small classes of mid-size sedans, such as the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima.
For the 2023 model, the Accord is earning good reliability and safety ratings, and since the 2024 model will be bearing similar features to the model that ushered in the 11th generation, there’s every hope that it’ll have great reliability and safety ratings as well.
What’s New in the 2024 Honda Accord
The 2024 Honda Accord is expected to carry over the unchanged features of the 2023 model. However, the 2024 model is expected to be broader and longer, more modern and neater than the 2023 model. Also, for the 2024 model, Honda discontinued the 252-hp turbo-4 reversing it into a hybrid powertrain.
Engine & Performance of the 2024 Honda Accord
The 2024 Honda Accord comes with a 1.5-litre turbocharged-four engine that produces 192 horsepower. This will be found in the LX and EX trim levels and produces a combined 32 mpg.
The hybrid trim is paired with a 2.0-litre inline-four with two motors for 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. The system is smooth and feels effortless, and it is reliant on electric power, which helps it yield a rating of 48 mpg combined.
2024 Honda Accord Interior Features
While Honda is still rolling out updates concerning the interior features of the Accord 2024, what’s known is that the 2024 Accord has plenty of legroom and headroom, especially in the second row. The vehicle comes with 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Also, the 2024 Honda Accord will seat five passengers comfortably.
In the infotainment display, the Accord will come with 17-inch alloys, cloth seats, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, Andriod Auto, Apple CarPlay and two USB-C ports.
2024 Honda Accord Drive-Assistance Safety Features
Honda has not yet completed crash testing on the 2024 Accord. But critics expect the Accord to continue following the 2023 model of good safety ratings. Some safety features expected in the 2024 Accord include:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind-spot monitors
- Active lane control
- Wide-angle cameras and radar detectors
How Much is the 2024 Honda Accord
The prices have not been fully set. However, the Honda Accord is expected to sell at $30,000 for the base trims and $33,000 – $40,000 for the high trim levels. That’s about N25,000,000 to N35,000,000 for the 2024 Honda Accord in Nigeria (using the current exchange rate).
Fuel Economy
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that last year’s LX and EX versions achieved 32 combined mpg (29 city, 37 highway). That’s typical for the class and we expect those figures to carry over into 2024. If you’re wondering about the hybrid’s fuel economy, it can reach 48 mpg combined.
Premium Interior
A metallic mesh across the dashboard and air vents brings a futuristic flavour to the Accord’s cabin. Otherwise, the interior is understated yet still uses quality materials and puts them together well. The infotainment system in the LX and EX comes with a 7-inch touchscreen.
The driver’s seat is sufficiently cushioned and supportive for long trips. Thin pillars on each side of the windshield contribute to excellent outward vision. The sloping roof looks like it might not be kind to rear headroom, but we’ve sat back there and it’s fine for an adult male of average size.
The rear legroom is especially generous at 40.8 inches. The closest competitors here are the Subaru Legacy and Toyota Camry. The Accord is otherwise comfortably ahead of the rest. A trunk space of 16.7 cubic feet is similarly class-leading.
Pitch-Perfect Exterior
Styling-wise, this latest generation of Accord sedan doesn’t go out on such a limb as the Kia K5 (for example), yet it also avoids the character-free zone of previous Accords. We think Honda has pitched the look perfectly, with a fine balance of freshness and decorum.
The choices of exterior colours are fashionably monochrome, with silver in there somewhere. The brightest option is Radiant Red Metallic.
