Honda’s 29-time Car and Driver 10Best-winning Accord enters 2016 a friskier, better-looking thing—you can read our first drive of the 2016 Accord sedan here—but happily, prices stay pretty close to 2015 levels. At $22,925 for the LX sedan with the manual transmission and $23,725 for the CVT-equipped version, prices of the lowliest of Accords don’t change at all, in fact.
The $24,985 starting price of the snappy Accord Sport with the manual (add $800 for the CVT) represents a price hike of $300. Accord EX models rise $450 to $26,300 for the manual and $27,100 for the CVT and come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, while further up the chain, the leather-lined, CVT-exclusive EX-L four-cylinder and six-speed-auto-only EX-L V-6 rise $150 each to $29,390 and $31,465. At the top of the range is the Touring V-6 sedan, which at $35,400, costs $950 more than last year’s version.
The Accord also remains available as a coupe, with the price of the base LX-S with the six-speed manual remaining unchanged at $24,595 (add $850 for the CVT) with the same increases as the sedan for EX ($26,720), EX-L ($29,565) and EX-L V-6 ($31,745) coupe models. The Accord coupe is also available in Touring V-6 form, which costs $35,945.
Noteworthy is that all Accords are available with Honda Sensing suite of electronic safety features at a cost of $1000 for LX, Sport, and EX models, or $2000 for EX-L, the latter including Honda’s embedded navigation system as part of the deal. Honda Sensing and navigation are standard-issue on Touring models.
The sedan goes on sale on August 19 with the coupe hitting dealerships on August 26. Now just about the only thing left to discover is whether the Accord will land on the 10Best list for the 30th time. Stay tuned.
