The outstanding Honda Accord improves for 2026 with new standard tech features, including a bigger screen. Pricing starts at $29,590.
The Honda Accord upholds a well-earned reputation as a well-balanced midsize sedan that does almost everything well. Its interior is spacious enough for comfortable family transportation, and it has the safety and reliability that pragmatic car shoppers crave. This year, the Accord is keeping up with the times by introducing new standard tech features, including a bigger 9-inch infotainment display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a wireless charging pad. The Honda Accord was already great, and this year’s enhancements keep it at the top of our list in its competitive segment.
If you have more room in your budget, there’s a more efficient and well-equipped Accord Hybrid available, which we review separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of midsize cars, including the Honda Accord.
2026 Honda Accord Pricing
The 2026 Honda Accord has a starting sticker price of $29,590, with the range-topping Accord SE kicking off at $31,890. But Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Pricing currently suggests paying $590 to $590 less than MSRP, depending on trim and equipment. These prices are updated weekly.
MSRP | KBB Fair Purchase Price (national avg.) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
$29,590 | $29,000 | |||
$31,890 | $31,300 |
The Honda Accord is priced slightly below the segment’s best-seller, the hybrid-only Toyota Camry, and slightly above the rest of the class, which consists of the Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5.
Before buying an Accord, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Honda Accord resale value is almost best-in-class, surpassed only by the Toyota Camry. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
