The ninth-generation Honda Accord gets a thorough refresh for 2016, and the big theme here is technology. Inside and out, the updated Accord packs a host of upgrades in an effort to keep Honda's best-seller fresh in the minds of consumers.

The big news is a new, seven-inch Display Audio infotainment interface with two of the latest in-car tech must-haves: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These come standard on EX models and above. The revised infotainment system doesn't replace the outgoing two-screen setup inside the Accord, however. There's a larger, 7.7-inch screen above the Display Audio screen, with steering wheel-mounted controls that allow access to things like audio information, the rear-view camera, and side LaneWatch camera.

Outside, the car looks more tech-focused, with expanded LED lighting. All cars now have LED taillamps, and the Touring trim adds full LED headlamps. With its restyled front fascia, the 2016 Accord looks a lot more Acura than Honda, for better or worse. Both sedan and coupe body styles are available, with a new, larger 19-inch wheel option on upper-level models.

Powertrains carry over largely unchanged. On the base end there's a 2.4-liter, naturally aspirated inline-four, available with either a continuously variable transmission or a six-speed manual 'box. Honda will continue to offer its 3.5-liter V6, as well, with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

Acura grill designer done chizzanged the grill. Looks like trash.
I have no idea why they think that's a good look. Either they think we love Optimus Prime looking grills or the grill designer has been banging the lead designer on the down low daily.

I don't mind the Acura "shield" grills on the current models and what they started with the '09 TL's, but that's where it should've stayed... with Acura.

The old Accord before this refresh was fine the way it was.

Nissan is killing them man.


Yeah the Altima with the torsion beam rear axel:mjlol:


On another note HMC doesn't fleet sell the cars so the depreciation is always solid and you you'll never find them for rent.
