The 2026 Honda Accord: One Turbo, One Hybrid, Six Trims

Here are the six 2026 Accord trims in order of launch price, with each one’s mileage, wheels, touchscreen and audio.

MSRP at launch (2026 model year), excluding destination. Current prices vary with equipment and offers.

The most expensive Accord is not the most efficient one. The EX-L launched for less than the Sport-L and the Touring, yet it has the best mileage rating in the lineup. It is also the only hybrid on 17-inch wheels.

This table compares the gas powertrain in the LX and SE with the hybrid system in the other four trims.

Every hybrid Accord is rated higher in the city than on the highway, while both gas trims are rated higher on the highway, so the hybrid’s mileage edge is widest in city driving. The step from the gas SE to the Sport, the least expensive hybrid, was $3,100 at launch.

Every trim is front-wheel drive, so the Accord does not suit a driver who needs all-wheel drive.

Each 2026 Accord trim has its own mix of equipment, and a higher price does not always mean more of everything. Every Accord, from the LX up, comes with:

• Push-button start and remote engine start
• Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock
• An electronic parking brake with Automatic Brake Hold, plus Hill Start Assist
• Rear Seat Reminder
• The Smart Clear Wiper
• Air conditioning with air filtration
• LED headlights, taillights, daytime running lights and turn indicators

The LX was the least expensive of the six trims at launch. It also has the most headroom in the lineup and a better mileage rating than the SE, the other gas trim. It is the only 2026 Accord without a moonroof. Its air conditioning is single-zone, and it does not offer heated front seats, a power driver’s seat or blind spot monitoring.

The SE is the second gas trim. Over the LX, it adds:

• Heated front seats
• A 10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar
• Dual-zone climate control
• A one-touch power moonroof with tilt
• Blind spot and rear cross traffic monitoring
• A 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback
• Heated side mirrors with gloss-black covers

The Sport is the least expensive Accord Hybrid. It has the SE’s equipment apart from the heated mirrors, and the hybrid powertrain replaces the turbo. It also trades the 9-inch touchscreen for the 12.3-inch one, two drive modes for four, and the compact spare for a tire repair kit.

It is the first Accord with Alexa Built-In and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. It also gets sport pedals and a gloss-black spoiler. Its seats are not leather-trimmed, and it comes only with a black interior.

The EX-L is the second hybrid trim and the first Accord with:

• Leather-trimmed seats
• Two-position driver’s seat memory
• A 4-way power passenger seat
• An auto-dimming rearview mirror
• Front and rear parking sensors, four at each end
• Side mirrors with built-in LED turn indicators

The heated mirrors that the Sport leaves out return on the EX-L.

The Sport-L pairs the EX-L’s leather-trimmed seats, driver’s seat memory and power passenger seat with the Sport’s look. It gets sport pedals, a gloss-black spoiler and gloss-black mirror covers, and it is the only trim on Matte Berlina Black wheels. Like the Sport, it has a black interior only.

The Touring is the top trim. Like the EX-L, it has leather-trimmed seats, parking sensors and heated mirrors. Over the EX-L, it adds:

• A 6-inch head-up display
• Google built-in® with 3 years of unlimited data, plus HD Radio
• Bose premium 12-speaker audio, which replaces the EX-L’s 180-watt, 8-speaker system
• A heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats and heated rear outboard seats
• Rain-sensing wipers and side mirrors that tilt down in reverse
• An acoustic laminated windshield and acoustic front door glass
• Low Speed Braking Control and a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines

Once you have picked gas or hybrid, choosing an Accord trim usually comes down to one of four pairs.

Between the two gas trims, the SE launched $2,300 above the LX and adds heated front seats, a moonroof and blind spot monitoring. The LX has 2.0 inches more front headroom and 2.9 cubic feet more passenger volume, and it is rated 1 mpg higher combined. Choose the LX if the lower price and the extra headroom matter most; choose the SE if you want its comfort and safety additions.

Moving up from the Sport, the EX-L launched $1,300 higher. It adds leather-trimmed seats, a power passenger seat and parking sensors, and it carries the lineup’s top mileage rating. The Sport gets you into a hybrid at the lowest launch price, but if leather and mileage come first, the EX-L is the better fit.

The Sport-L launched $400 above the EX-L and is rated 4 mpg lower combined. It gives up the EX-L’s parking sensors and auto-dimming mirror, and its side mirrors are neither heated nor fitted with built-in LED turn indicators. It has no gray interior option and skips two EX-L paints, Meteorite Gray Metallic and Canyon River Blue Metallic, but it adds Still Night Pearl, a paint only the Sport and Sport-L offer. Choose the EX-L for the parking sensors, the wider color choice and the better mileage; choose the Sport-L if the Sport’s look matters more to you.

At the top, the Touring launched $4,400 above the EX-L, rides on larger wheels and has a combined rating 4 mpg below the EX-L’s. If you want the better mileage for less, stay with the EX-L. Move up to the Touring if the head-up display, Google built-in and ventilated front seats are worth the difference.

Every 2026 Accord seats five, and its 16.7-cubic-foot trunk is the same size on every trim, so choosing a hybrid costs you no trunk space. The rear seatback folds down in one piece on the LX and splits 60/40 on every other trim, so on those trims one side can fold while the other stays up.

This table gives the Accord’s front and rear cabin measurements; the LX, the one trim without a moonroof, has its own headroom figures.

Passenger volume, exterior dimensions and curb weights are in this table.

Every 2026 Accord has Honda Sensing, and on every trim it includes:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System and Forward Collision Warning
• Road Departure Mitigation and Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
• Traffic Jam Assist
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Auto High-Beam Headlights

Driver Attention Monitor, traction control and anti-lock brakes are also standard across the lineup. So are tire pressure monitoring with location indicators and advanced front, front knee, front side, rear side and side-curtain airbags.

Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are standard from the SE up; the LX does not offer them. Front and rear parking sensors come on the EX-L and Touring. Low Speed Braking Control and the multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines are Touring-only.

NHTSA gives the 2026 Accord a 5-star overall safety rating, and the rating applies to the gas and hybrid versions alike.

All six trims share this technology:

• A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• A Qi wireless phone charger
• Wi-Fi hotspot capability
• HondaLink with HondaLink Subscription Services
• USB-C ports: a data port and a charging port up front, and two charging ports in the rear

Honda’s brand warranty terms, listed in this table, apply to the gas Accord and the Accord Hybrid alike.
