Although the current 11th-generation Accord only debuted in 2023, the refreshed 2026 Honda Accord introduces minor updates, which lead to a slight increase in prices across all trims. However, the update does address one of our main concerns—improving the infotainment screen setup on the lower trims
While the Accord remains a leader in the midsize sedan segment, we felt that the touchscreens in the base models were too small. Fortunately, Honda seems to have listened. For 2026, all Accords—including the base LX and SE—come standard with a 9.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless phone charger. Of course, a 9.0-inch screen is still relatively modest by today’s standards. In addition, the Accord SE now features a larger 19-inch wheel and tire package with a stylish five-spoke design.
On the hybrid front, the 2026 Accord Sport Hybrid gets a few subtle style updates with extra black exterior accents. In addition to black wing mirrors, it now features gloss-black B-pillar trim, black decklid badging, and a black shark-fin antenna.
Mechanically, no changes have been made to any of the Accord’s powertrains, so you can expect the same reliable fuel efficiency as before.
Overall, the price increases are minimal. The turbocharged LX remains an excellent value, and even the fully loaded 2026 Touring model requires only a modest bump compared to last year.
