10 Reasons Why You Should Be Excited About the 2025 Honda Accord Release Date!
The 2025 Honda Accord is just around the corner and if you’ve been waiting for the release date to drop you’re not alone! This iconic sedan has been a favorite for years and it looks like Honda is set to take things up a notch in 2025. In this article we’re diving deep into what you need to know about the release date features and everything else in between to help you decide if this will be your next ride.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty let’s answer the most burning question on everyone’s mind:
When is the 2025 Honda Accord release date?
Drumroll please... the 2025 Honda Accord is expected to hit dealerships in the summer of 2024. That’s right you won’t have to wait until the end of the year to get your hands on one of these beauties! While Honda has been tight-lipped about the exact date industry insiders say the release will be June or July 2024 so mark your calendars.
Now that we’ve covered the date let’s dive into what makes this new Accord model special and the potential quirks that might come with it.
Why The 2025 Accord Could Be The Best One Yet
Honda’s been consistently tweaking the Accord over the years to give us better performance, technology, and design. The 2025 version looks like it’s going to be a home run or at least a solid double (we’re looking at you rear legroom).
Engine Performance
The new Accord will likely come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four engine with an optional upgrade to a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. If you’re someone who loves to feel that punch when you press the gas the 2.0-liter engine is probably the one to go for.
- Pro: The turbocharged engine will give you plenty of power to accelerate smoothly whether you’re on the highway or city streets.
- Con: For some folks (like me) "turbocharged" sounds suspiciously like "hey let’s add more expensive repairs later down the line!" You win some you lose some.
Alex Collantes’s Take on Performance:
"Honda’s never let me down when it comes to engine reliability and the Accord is one of their best when it comes to smooth rides. My only gripe? I just hope they don’t make the engine too techy. Call me old-school but I like to be able to understand my car when I’m working on it." – Alex Collantes Automotive Enthusiast
Hybrid Powertrain?
It’s likely that Honda will also offer a hybrid version for the environmentally-conscious drivers out there. The 2024 Accord Hybrid was a hit so we can expect Honda to follow up with something equally impressive for 2025.
- Pro: Better fuel efficiency without sacrificing too much power. You’ll be able to drive longer without stopping for gas.
- Con: We’ve all had that moment where the hybrid is so quiet you forget the car is even on. Get ready for a few “oops I thought I turned it off” moments in the driveway!
Design and Interior – Sleek and Spacious?
The 2025 Honda Accord will likely follow the design cues of its predecessors but with some updated flair. Think sleek lines LED lighting and an aggressive front grille. The interior will be packed with modern materials and technology.
Sleek Exterior
Honda is keeping its designs sharp with a bold front grille and sporty silhouette that will likely appeal to those who like their cars to look as good as they drive. LED lights will come standard and there might be some surprise color options added to the mix.
- Pro: You’ll look great pulling up in this thing no matter where you go.
- Con: Sleek designs might not be for everyone especially if you’re a sucker for the old boxy Accords of yore. But hey it’s 2025. Time to upgrade!
Interior Tech Explosion
The 2025 Accord is also rumored to feature a 12.3-inch infotainment screen for higher trims with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You’ll also get an optional Bose premium audio system for those who want to turn their car into a rolling concert.
- Pro: Super connected smooth touch screens and more intuitive voice commands make driving more convenient than ever.
- Con: If you’re anything like me you’ll spend the first few weeks furiously trying to figure out how to connect your phone. Ah modern problems!
Comfort Levels
The seating in the Accord will continue to be plush with optional leather seating and heating options for those living in colder climates. Rear legroom has always been a big selling point for the Accord and Honda is not letting up on that. However if you’re over 6 feet tall you might find the back seat a bit snug.
- Pro: Whether you’re the driver or the passenger it’s going to feel like you’re gliding on air. Honda’s gotten really good at making comfy seats.
- Con: If you’re expecting an actual "living room on wheels" experience you’ll be a little disappointed. It’s still a sedan folks not an SUV.
Safety Features – Driving You Forward
Safety is a huge priority for Honda and the 2025 Accord will be no different. Expect it to come standard with Honda Sensing suite of safety features including Adaptive Cruise Control Collision Mitigation Braking System and Lane Keeping Assist.
Honda Sensing
Honda Sensing has been one of the most well-regarded safety suites for years and the 2025 Accord is going to come equipped with the latest version.
- Pro: Your car is practically driving itself – perfect for long road trips or zoning out in traffic.
- Con: If you’re someone who hates the idea of a car that beeps every time you do something wrong (even if it’s a little close parking) then these features might drive you nuts. But hey better safe than sorry right?
Alex Collantes’s Take on Safety:
"I’ve never been a fan of all the nanny-like safety features. I get it they keep you safe but the car shouldn’t beep at me just because I’m parking a little close to a bush. That said it’s hard to argue with the data showing fewer accidents thanks to these systems." – Alex Collantes Automotive Enthusiast
Potential Drawbacks – Let’s Be Real
No car is perfect right? And while the 2025 Honda Accord is shaping up to be a top contender in the sedan market there are still some things to watch out for.
Price Tag
Let’s not sugarcoat it. The 2025 Honda Accord is likely going to start around $28,000 with higher trims easily pushing the $40,000 mark.
- Pro: You’re paying for a reliable car that’s going to last you for years without major issues.
- Con: Well it’s a chunk of change. If you’re ballin’ on a budget maybe wait for the certified pre-owned versions to hit the market.
Hybrid Maintenance Costs
While the hybrid version might save you money at the pump battery replacements and potential repairs can add up over time.
- Pro: Save money on gas and help the planet!
- Con: I know what you’re thinking – "Wait how much is a battery replacement again?"
Overload of Technology
With so many tech features in one car there’s bound to be a learning curve. If you’re not particularly tech-savvy you might find yourself spending more time than you’d like trying to figure out how everything works.
- Pro: Once you’ve got it down you’re golden.
- Con: Be prepared to hit up YouTube tutorials more often than you might think.
