Most new Honda Accord models come with about 10 airbags in total, though the exact count can vary by year and trim.
What you need to know about airbag counts in the Accord
In practice, Honda's newer Accords are equipped with a comprehensive airbag system designed to protect occupants in different crash scenarios. The total number you see in official specs is usually 10 for recent models, but some earlier or differently configured vehicles may have fewer depending on the year, market, and safety package selected.
Airbag types included in recent Accords:
- Front airbags for the driver and front passenger
- Driver knee airbag (and some trims offer a passenger knee airbag)
- Front side airbags mounted in the seatbacks
- Side curtain airbags that run along the roofline to protect both front and rear occupants
Conclusion: On most modern Honda Accord trims, the airbag system is designed to total around 10 airbags, but the exact count can vary by model year and trim level.
Variation by generation and trim
Older Accords, especially before the 2018 redesign, typically featured fewer airbags—generally six to eight, depending on the market and trim. The current 10th-generation Accords emphasize expanded protection, with additional knee and curtain airbags included as standard or optional depending on the build.
To confirm the precise configuration for a specific car, check the window sticker, the owner's manual, or Honda's official safety features page for that model year.
Summary
The short answer: most current Honda Accord models have around 10 airbags. The exact number can vary by year and trim, so verify the specific car’s safety specifications. Core airbags typically include front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, and knee airbags (primarily for the driver, with some trims offering a passenger knee airbag as well).
