Are you ready to travel back in time? Set aside the conveniences of modern life - the smartphones and tablets, your virtual meetings, and what not - to travel to a much simpler time in the late 1940s. Over seven decades ago, Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa took their passion for engines to the road and engineered the Dream D-type motorcycle under the Honda Motor Co. brand. Their ingenuity brought them to the United States over a decade later, where they showcased their talents and sold their millionth motorcycle by 1968. So, how did a motorcycle company transform into one of the top-selling automotive brands in the United States known for models like the Honda Accord? As your Atlanta Honda Accord dealership, the team here at Honda of Newnan has the answer.
After widespread success with their motorcycles in the United States, Honda proved its ingenuity reached far beyond two-wheel transportation with the introduction of the Honda N600 in 1969. The N600 marked the first car Honda ever sold in America and paved the way for future models like the Civic and the larger Accord, which was first introduced in 1977. But how has the Accord impacted the American automotive industry, and what makes it one of the best-selling sedans in the country? Let's find out.
With the success of the Honda Civic following its debut in 1972, Honda immediately started designing a larger sedan. After four years, Honda debuted the Accord in late 1976 and officially introduced it to the American market in 1977. Fortunately for Honda, American drivers instantly fell in love with the two-door hatchback design that made up for its lack of power - 68 horsepower from its 1.6-liter engine - with its exceptional fuel economy, roomy interior cabin, and responsive handling.
As demand for the Accord skyrocketed, Honda's reputation blossomed, and production of the first generation Accord ran until 1981. During this time, Honda made a few changes with the addition of the four-door sedan body style in 1978. This pushed sales even higher and sealed Honda's reputation for building reliable, fuel-efficient, and comfortable vehicles.
Honda made history in 1982 when they moved production of the Honda Accord sedan to the United States. This marked the first time a Japanese car was ever built in America, which was fitting since Honda was one of the top-selling brands in the country. This shift in production also sealed the Accord's place in the American automotive industry as Honda continued to make improvements to the model in subsequent generations and redesigns.
The second-generation (1982-1985) Accord gave drivers the sporty Accord SE-i and earned high praise from industry experts, including a place on Car and Driver's first-ever 10Best list in 1983. Little did anyone know at the time, but the Accord would eventually become Car and Driver's most awarded vehicle. By the mid-1980s, Honda released the third generation (1986-1989) Accord, which featured the all-new coupe model and more nimble, sportier handling across the entire lineup.
The 1990s saw the fourth and fifth-generation Accords that marked a significant shift from the early design by giving the sedan a sleeker appearance and more power under the hood. Honda also replaced the hatchback with a station wagon. By the end of the decade, Honda turned heads when it added a V6 engine to the Accord, which added to the vehicle's popularity and sent sales soaring once again.
The new millennium saw the end of the Accord station wagon, with the sixth generation (1998-2002) model only available as a coupe or sedan. By 2003, Honda introduced the seventh generation and continued making improvements to the engine to give drivers even more power from the V6. Honda also debuted an all-new hybrid option. This trend continued with the eighth-generation (2008-2012) and ninth-generation (2013-2017) Accords, with Honda adding a new Sport model to the lineup to give drivers a more powerful and stylish alternative.
Introduced in 2018, the tenth-generation Accord brought several changes to better fit a market increasingly concerned with efficiency over sportiness. The traditional naturally-aspirated four-cylinder and V6 engine options were replaced by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 192 horsepower and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 252 horsepower. This is a far cry from the first-generation Accord that delivered a meek 68 ponies! Beyond the new engine, the latest model Accord also boasts a sleeker body style as well as a hybrid option that delivers incredible average fuel economy.
Models like the 2021 Accord are evidence that Honda is at the helm of innovation and remains committed to constant evolution to deliver the latest technology, capability, and conveniences in the industry. The Accord embodies this evolution with its 2021 update that continues to set the standard in the segment of midsize sedans. But what can you expect from the 2021 Accord, and what makes it so special?
The 2021 Honda Accord is more sophisticated than ever and is a far cry from the clunky sedan of decades past. The new Accord features a wider front grille that's framed by LED headlights. Depending on the trim, you'll also find new wheel designs and the addition of Sonic Gray Pearl to the sedan's exterior color palette. Inside, the Accord is uncluttered and spacious with available luxuries like heated and ventilated seating, power-adjustable front seats, and a standard full-color 8-inch touchscreen that gives you the connectivity you need right at your fingertips.
Honda extends the Accord's lineup by adding the Accord Sport Special Edition for 2021. Inspired by the Accord Sport, the Sport Special Edition adds an array of luxury features, including heated leather front seats, a power driver's seat, and a power passenger seat. Heated mirrors optimize your view in any condition while remote engine start and Smart Entry eliminate the need to dig for your keys to start the sedan or lock and unlock the doors. You'll also find a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters and a leather-wrapped shift knob for added luxury.
Honda's knack for building capable engines is on full display with the 2021 Accord, which sees improvements to its two turbocharged engines. The standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is paired with Honda's proven continuously variable transmission to maximize efficiency and deliver plenty of power. For Honda, power and efficiency aren't mutually exclusive, and it shows with the Accord's 1.5-liter producing 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque with an average of 30 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.[a]
You'll find the Accord delivers even faster acceleration and smoother handling when equipped with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, this combination delivers 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This power is impressive and, once again, doesn't drastically impact the sedan's efficiency, with the 2.0L Accord averaging 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.[a]
The 2021 Accord is loaded with technology, from the driver information display and the intuitive touchscreen display to the Honda Sensing safety suite that works behind the scenes to minimize the potential for collision and enhance your view. Honda ushers the Accord into the future with the now-standard 8-inch touchscreen entertainment system that's home to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, SiriusXM satellite radio, and the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with 3D maps. Top-tier trims enjoy wireless smartphone integration and wireless charging, adding another layer of convenience to the Accord.
Moving from the obvious to the less obvious tech features, the 2021 Accord earned a 5-star safety score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety because of its exceptional suite of standard and available safety features. The Honda Sensing suite is at the heart of this technology and includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Traffic Sign Recognition. You'll also find the Accord comes standard with a rear vision camera and a new Rear Seat Reminder, the latter of which alerts you to passengers in the backseat.
Enhanced tools like Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor, and Low-Speed Braking Control are also available on certain trims. These tools, along with those in the Honda Sensing suite, see significant improvements over previous models. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control offers smoother braking, and the Lane Keeping Assist System now naturally centers the sedan in its lane with minimal driver input.
The 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid is proof that you can have your cake and eat it, too. The crossroads of power and efficiency, the Accord Hybrid is truly remarkable and shares many of the same technology and design updates as the standard Accord. This shifts the focus from the Accord Hybrid's many features to its heartbeat - Honda's innovative two-motor hybrid system that delivers 212 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque.
The Accord Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and electric motors that rely on Honda's patented magnet design. This design eliminates the use of rare-earth metals and makes the hybrid more sustainable and environmentally friendly to produce. This two-motor system is truly remarkable because it automatically switches between power sources - electric EV Drive, gasoline Engine Drive, and Hybrid Drive.
With the Accord Hybrid automatically maximizing efficiency and performance, you can finetune how the sedan handles by selecting between various drive modes - Sport, EV, and ECON. Sport mode focuses on performance with improved throttle responsiveness and steering, while EV mode prioritizes electric power. ECON mode maximizes efficiency and adds to the Accord Hybrids's already impressive fuel economy of 48 mpg combined.[a]
As the saying goes, "Knowledge is power," and Honda gives you plenty of both on the Accord Hybrid. You can watch the hybrid's performance from the center touchscreen display that shows how energy is moving between the engine and the motor. This gives you a clear picture of your driving style and how to maximize the sedan's efficiency so that you get the most out of its power.
The 2021 Accord and the Accord Hybrid share many similarities, including the Honda Sensing safety suite and the available connectivity and tech features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, and navigation. The models differ, however, when you look at the available trims, with the Accord offering several more performance-focused options. The standard lineup includes the LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition, EX-L, Sport 2.0T, and Touring 2.0T. In contrast, the Accord Hybrid offers the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims, which makes sense considering the hybrid powertrain.
Despite this difference, the Accord Hybrid is well equipped across its lineup, offering standard LED headlights, heated side mirrors, push-button start, dual-zone climate control, and an 8-inch display that's home to smartphone integration and the multi-view rear camera. The base LX trim is equipped with a four-speaker audio system while the EX is upgraded to an 8-speaker system and the EX-L and Touring deliver an immersive listening experience with a 10-speaker system complete with a subwoofer.
You'll find several luxuries on the top three trims, including wireless phone charging and wireless smartphone integration to reduce clutter in the cabin and enhance your convenience. The trims also add a 12-way power driver's seat and heated front seats. When you opt for the Touring, your backseat passengers will enjoy similar luxury with heated outboard rear seats that are trimmed in leather. Now that's luxury! This model also adds enhanced technology like Honda's Satellite-Linked Navigation System and Head-Up Display, the latter of which lets you keep your focus on the road by putting all the information you need in a crisp display on the windshield in front of you.
The 2023 Honda Accord is an entirely new generation of this crowd-pleasing favorite.

From new body-stabilizing seats to a spaciously refined interior cabin experience, the Accord is better than ever.
An available 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, plus the largest available touchscreen in the brand's history, sets the tone for your driving adventures.
