- The Honda Accord is getting a slight price hike for the 2020 model year.
- LX, EX, and Touring models go up by $185, while the Sport (pictured) goes up by $385.
- There are no changes to the Accord for 2020, but we're expecting a refresh for the 2021 model year that will likely arrive next fall.
As is typical for a new model year, the 2020 Honda Accord is going up slightly in price. The base Accord LX goes up by $185 to a new starting price of $24,800, while the Accord Sport rises by $385. EX and Touring models also go up by $185, to $28,700 and $37,030. There's no info out yet on the 2020 Accord hybrid, but Honda says it is coming soon.
Honda isn't making any changes to the 10Best-winning Accord otherwise, as the equipment list and available powertrains—a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four paired with a CVT and an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission—continue on for 2020. All Accord Sport models remain available with either the CVT or a no-cost six-speed manual transmission, with the 1.5-liter Sport now starting at $27,075 and the 2.0-liter Sport starting at $31,990.
We expect Honda to roll out bigger updates to the Accord next year for the 2021 model, as this tenth-generation model first arrived for the 2018 model year. It's likely to be a typical mid-cycle refresh with revised styling and a few new features, and information should be available sometime next fall. In the meantime, the 2020 model goes on sale September 17.
Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
