2025 Honda Accord Gets More Standard Features With a Slightly Higher Price Tag

Honda's adding a new SE trim above the base model with a sportier look, too

The 11th-generation Honda Accord keeps rolling for the third model year with a few noteworthy changes.

It’s never been the flashiest car on the road, but the midsize Honda Accord is tough to beat if you want the whole package of solid styling, technology, fuel economy and comfort in one package. The automaker announced formal pricing for the 2025 model year, and as you’d probably expect, it isn’t deviating much from what we’ve seen over the past couple years. The base LX trim is still around, though it gets $400 pricier than it was in 2024, at $29,390. If you’re wanting a bit of a sportier look to go with your value, though, there’s a new blacked-out SE trim for your consideration.

From the start, the 2025 Honda Accord throws in more standard equipment across the board. You get rear HVAC vents and USB-C charging parts, with the former being a nice addition for backseat passengers. Accord Hybrid models also get heated front seats and 15-watt wireless smartphone charging on the base Sport model, without having to jump to the mid-range EX-L, Sport-L or the top-end Touring.

The 2025 Honda Accord carries on with the same powertrains as previous years. LX and SE models get a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, putting out 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The Accord Hybrid, on the other hand, gets 204 horsepower thanks to a couple electric motors backing up the 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle engine. All Accord models are still front-wheel drive only — one important factor against immensely popular rivals like the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, which do offer all-wheel drive.

Slotting in above the LX, the $31,655 Accord SE offers up gloss black 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as black window trim, mirror caps and shark fin antenna. On the feature front, this trim effectively replaces the EX and gives you a bit more for your extra $2,265, including heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a moonroof, a 10-way power driver’s seat and an 8-speaker sound system.

2025 Honda Accord Hybrid models start with the $34,750 Sport. That’s a $750 hike over last year, while the EX-L rises by $400 to $36,035. The other mid-range Sport-L trim costs $36,470 ($500 more than last year). At the top end, the Touring Hybrid now costs $410 more, or $40,395 to start.
