The 2026 Honda Accord in a Nutshell
50 years after it was first revealed, the Honda Accord continues to be one of the mid-size sedan class’ default choices. While it’s not as strong a seller anymore, those looking for a traditional family car can always turn to this well-loved and well-established model.
The Accord is now in its eleventh generation, and the current model was introduced in 2023. So far, the stalwart midsize sedan hasn’t received a big facelift just yet, although the Chinese-market Accord could be a preview of things to come. In the meantime, the 2026 model gets a few trim adjustments to include more standard equipment.

2026 Honda Accord Lease Deals for February
This month’s lease deals for the Honda Accord are actually a continuation of last month’s promos. Like before, it’s for the LX trim, and there are two deals on offer. The first deal starts at just $250 for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing.
However, the second offer is particularly tempting. If you own a 2010 or newer Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, or Volkswagen vehicle, you’re entitled to a much more affordable monthly rate. In this case, it’s just $205 per month, also with $3,999 due at signing. It’s $0.20 for every mile over 10,000 miles per year, and the offer is valid until March 3, 2026.

2026 Honda Accord Highlights
There’s a wide variety of trims available for the Accord, but what we’re focusing on here are the non-hybrid models. In that case, there are just two on offer, namely the LX and SE. Prices start at $28,395 and $30,695, respectively. Seriously, why won’t more people buy these?
Anyway, standard features include wireless charging and wireless phone connectivity, widescreen infotainment, remote engine start, walk-away locks, and advanced driver assists in the form of Honda Sensing. Previously in the SE, wireless charging and phone connectivity were unavailable, and the same with the larger screen.
Move up to the SE and that one gets larger 19-inch alloys, another upgrade for the 2026 model year, plus a sunroof, heated front seats, power driver’s seat, split-folding rear seats, and an eight-speaker audio system.
Both LX and SE are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Lifted straight from the CR-V, it’s good for 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid models effectively succeed the 2.0-liter turbo from the previous generation.

Final Thoughts
Before you buy that compact crossover, take a look at the midsize sedan first. In the Accord’s case, it’s still hugely practical with loads of room inside, along with a sizable trunk. It’s better-equipped than ever, even in entry-level form, and the car itself offers a strong value proposition. As a bonus, the car actually drives well, and it’s complemented by a good amount of comfort. Again, why won’t more people buy these? Right, because crossovers exist.
