Powerful and Efficient
The hybrid-electric powered Accord Sport-L and Touring feature the powerful and efficient Honda two-motor hybrid system with a total system output of up to 204 hp and 247 lb.-ft of torque. Accord hybrid models deliver quick and responsive acceleration and have fuel economy ratings of up to 5.3 L/100km combined.
The Honda two-motor hybrid system does not require a traditional transmission or CVT for driving and generating power. The hybrid system relies on the interplay of the two motors rather than use a torque converter or mechanical pulley or belt. This form of direct drive force transfer offers smooth and predictable acceleration matched with efficient low-rpm highway cruising when the gasoline engine is in operation.
Linear Shift Control further elevates the driving experience by mimicking the vehicle speed-linked rev feel associated with a conventional drivetrain shifting gears under acceleration.
Accord SE is powered by a smooth and responsive 1.5-litre turbo engine with VTEC® variable valve lift technology. Producing up to 192 horsepower (SAE net at 6,000 rpm) and 192 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm, the all-aluminum engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) featuring Step-Shift programming that simulates gear changes at full throttle.
Safety Performance Leadership
Based on the longstanding Honda “Safety for Everyone” approach, a commitment to advancing safety for everyone sharing the road, the 11th-generation Accord is a safety performance leader in the midsize sedan class with advanced active and passive safety technology standard on every Accord.
All 2026 Accords come standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive technologies that includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), Forward Collision Warning and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). Blind spot information system with Cross Traffic Monitor also is standard on Accord SE and up.
Every Accord also includes the proprietary Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems.
The advanced driver and passenger front airbags in Accord were designed to minimize the potential for severe brain trauma associated with angled frontal collisions. The front driver’s airbag uses an innovative donut-shaped structure to cradle the head to reduce rotation in a collision. The passenger-side front airbag uses a three-chamber design with the two outer chambers designed to achieve a similar result. All Accord models feature front seatbelt pretensioners, and side, driver and front-passenger knee and side-curtain airbags.
In addition, both Rear Seat Reminder and Rear Seatbelt Reminder are standard across the lineup.
