Style Meets Substance.

The all-new Accord takes Honda’s exterior styling in a fresh, athletic direction.

Accord has always been known for delivering the virtues that owners are after – things like comfort, roominess, features and proven value. With the arrival of the all-new Accord, though, those virtues are wrapped in athletic and expressive new styling.

Accord Sedan’s body sides are dramatic, with a character line flowing upward and rearward across the door surfaces, and a deep contour strategically positioned at the lower door panels. Bright window-surround trim adds a luxury feel, while in back, the tops of the rear fenders curve inward toward the C-pillars like flexed muscles. The EX-L and Touring models offer chrome door handles and additional trim on the rear panel for added elegance.

To give the cabin an open, airy feel for both front and rear passengers, Accord has a relatively low beltline, large glass area and thin A-pillars.

The new Accord Coupe is the most dramatic 2-door Accord yet. Its front end is set apart with a large lower radiator opening. The large front wheel arches flow into deep character lines that sweep across the doors and back to the muscular rear wheel arches, while the flowing roofline draws the eye up and over the windswept cabin.

Careful sculpting on the lower door sides helps to direct airflow around the rear tires. The roofline, body side character lines and rear wheel arches all converge at the deck-lid, drawing the eye to the rear spoiler on the V-6 models.

For customers, the newfound style gives Accord an added dimension.
