2016 Honda Accord

The 2016 Honda Accord features a refined design, a more rigid body and upgraded chassis, and upsized wheels and tires on select models.

In place of the previous wrap-around front bumper is a more sharply creased and intricately structured front fascia, the lower portion of which tucks into large intake-like meshed areas that house new LED fog lights.

The 2016 Accord's sportier design is matched by its improved dynamic performance. The Honda Accord body rigidity is increased and complemented by new high performance dampers, and a retuned electric power steering system that delivers even more linear and precise response.

Additional new available features for 2016 include remote engine start, front and rear parking sensors, rain sensing wipers, rear seat heaters, and a 60/40 split and folding rear seat. Further changes include the expanded use LED exterior lighting, and the first combined application of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

All 2016 Accords can also now be equipped with Honda Sensing, among the most comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies in the competitive class.

The Accord Sedan and Coupe are available with the choice of two highly efficient Earth Dreams Technology powertrains, a 2.4-liter direct-injected i-VTEC four-cylinder that produces 185 horsepower (189 horsepower in the Accord Sport Sedan) and a 278-horsepower 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 with Variable Cylinder Management.

The four-cylinder engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission or six-speed manual. The Accord Sedan with V-6 is paired with a six-speed automatic while V-6 Coupe models can be equipped with either the automatic or six-speed manual.
