The 2025 Honda Accord is largely the same as the 2024 model, with incremental updates in features, trims, and pricing rather than a full redesign.
Overview: mechanical foundations stay consistent
The Accord’s core engineering carries over, including the familiar powertrain lineup and the same sedan footprint. Buyers will find no major changes to the engine options or chassis in 2025 compared with 2024.
- Powertrain options: 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a CVT for most trims (about 192 hp), 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a 10-speed automatic on higher trims (around 252 hp), and a hybrid setup (2.0-liter i4 with electric motors and an e-CVT) available across multiple trims.
- Chassis and platform: same basic architecture and dimensions as the 2024 model, preserving the Accord’s ride and handling characteristics.
In short, if you are happy with the 2024 drivetrain options, the 2025 model keeps them intact.
Feature and trim changes for 2025
Ahead of the 2025 model year, Honda adjusted trim and equipment packages. The changes are incremental rather than a redesign, affecting what comes standard on some trims and how optional packages are configured.
- Expanded standard features on some trims, with a greater emphasis on driver-assist and infotainment options across more price tiers. For example, features such as wireless smartphone integration and enhanced safety suites show up earlier in the lineup.
- New or revised exterior color options and minor styling updates to trim-specific grilles and wheel designs.
- Adjusted equipment packages or naming for certain trims to simplify ordering and resale value comparisons.
These changes aim to improve value and tech accessibility without altering the fundamental driving experience.
Pricing, availability and market context
Prices typically shift modestly with a new model year, reflecting feature updates and inflation. The 2025 Accord is expected to have a small price uptick compared with the 2024 model, while Honda maintains the same powertrain lineup and overall value proposition. Availability will align with Honda’s regional supply, which has varied in recent years.
- Expect a modest price increase across most trims, tied to added features and ongoing supply considerations.
- Availability varies by market and trim, with standard configurations continuing to ship globally where the Accord is sold.
Dealers and Honda's official site will provide exact MSRPs and the precise list of standard vs. optional equipment for each trim in your region.
Styling, cabin and technology in context
Inside the cabin, the 2025 Accord keeps the same spacious, user-friendly layout that drivers associate with the model. Technology packages—such as infotainment and driver-assist—see tweaks rather than a wholesale redesign, with continued emphasis on ease of use and safety.
- Infotainment: the interface remains familiar, with updates to connectivity options and, on some trims, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto as standard or easier-to-access.
- Safety: Honda Sensing and related driver-assistance features continue to underpin the Accord’s safety profile, refined through software updates and hardware calibration.
In practice, the 2025 model is a refined continuation of the 2024’s experience rather than a dramatic upgrade.
Summary
The 2025 Honda Accord largely preserves the 2024 model’s mechanical core—three powertrains (1.5T, 2.0T, and hybrid), similar ride and handling, and the same sedan architecture—while adding incremental updates to equipment, trims, and pricing. For buyers, that translates to familiar performance with slightly better value in some trims and a modest sticker-price shift. Always check the exact features on your preferred trim level and confirm current offers with a local dealer.
