Honda is giving fans a peek at the upcoming 2023 Accord, with a series of teaser images it revealed prior to the next-generation model’s scheduled launch in November.
The front fascia features a new grille and headlamps
Not many details on the midsize sedan were shown, as only closeups of the front, rear, and infotainment display were depicted. At the fascia, the Honda emblem is set against a horizontal zigzag or sawtooth pattern on the grille. This is flanked by twin banks of redesigned LED headlamps bordered by daytime running lights on the upper edge, with front parking sensors visible down below.
More sensors can be seen at the rear, which features a more streamlined apron accompanied by sleek new full-width LED tail lamps. A badge at the right-hand corner confirms that the new Accord will come with a hybrid powertrain, a trend that started with the ninth-generation model.

In the cabin, the 2023 Accord still makes use of a digital instrument cluster, accompanied by a new 12.3-inch floating-type touchscreen infotainment head unit. The display cuts down physical controls to just a solitary knob on the dashboard surface, reserving the screen’s entire real estate for touch input.
Apart from the being the largest ever fitted on a production Honda, the screen also comes with the automaker’s first integration of Google built-in for seamless connectivity on the go.
As mentioned, hybrid power will figure prominently in the new Accord lineup, but it may not be the only option available. The current 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter turbocharged engine are expected to be retained especially for the lower-tier variants.

Honda says that the coming 2023 Accord will bring excitement back to the midsize sedan segment, citing the sleek new styling and more responsive powertrain. More details such as specifications, standard and optional features, and pricing will be made available closer to the 11th-generation Honda Accord’s launch date.
