The 2025 Honda Accord started arriving at Honda dealerships this week with more standard features, and a new turbocharged SE trim with black exterior accents and other standard high-demand features. The Honda Accord, America’s best-selling car over the last five decades [see footnote 4* below], is available in six trim levels, starting with the turbocharged LX and SE, and topped by the hybrid-electric powered Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring.

“The Honda Accord is a critical driver of brand loyalty and the new Accord SE brings even more expressive styling and value to Accord that already commands more than 25% of all retail sales in segment,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda Auto Sales. “Accord SE is one more reason that Accord will continue to set the standard for midsize cars in exceptional value and a sporty driving experience.”

The well-equipped Accord LX has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $28,295 [1] (excluding $1095 destination charge [2] and possible dealer price gouging). The hybrid-electric powered 2025 Accord Sport starts at $33,655.

In addition to the new SE trim, all Accords now have rear air-conditioning vents and two rear USB-C ports. All hybrid-electric trims, starting with Accord Sport, add heated front seats and a Qi-compatible 15W wireless phone charger. The top-of-the-line hybrid-electric powered Accord Touring adds a heated steering wheel.

The four hybrid-electric powered trims have the Honda two-motor hybrid system. With 247 lb.-ft. of torque, they’re the most powerful Accord hybrids ever. EPA fuel economy ratings are 51 mpg [3] city and 48 mpg [3] combined (EX-L trim). Your mileage likely will vary. Positioned at the top of the Accord lineup, the hybrid-electric trims represent more than 50% of annual Accord sales.
