Following up on its full refresh for 2016 and the revamped 2017 Accord Hybrid, the 2017 Honda Accord Coupe and Sedan models are set to hit showrooms this week with the 4-door offering a new Sport Special Edition trim level. Building on the standard equipment found in the 2017 Accord Sport, the new Sport Special Edition adds leather seats with red stitching in place of cloth plus heated front buckets and a "Special Edition" badge. It starts at $26,250 when its 189-horsepower/2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine is backed by the standard 6-speed manual transmission or $27,050 when teamed with the continuously variable automatic. The Special Edition models are $1,000 above their respective Accord Sport Sedan counterparts, and both reflect the Sport trim level’s $250 price bump over the 2016 MSRP numbers.
