The 2026 Honda Accord continues to raise the bar for midsize sedans, and Morehead Honda in Newburgh, NY, is excited to introduce this standout model year to Hudson Valley drivers. Known for its smooth performance, advanced safety, and upscale design, the Honda Accord remains a top choice among midsize sedans like the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, and Nissan Altima.

For this model year, the Accord lineup focuses on well-equipped gas trims, including the LX and SE. While the Honda Accord Hybrid and Sport Hybrid are available across the broader Honda lineup, this page highlights only the gas-powered Accord sedan models.

2026 Honda Accord Trim Levels and Key Specs

The 2026 Honda Accord is available in gas-powered trim levels that blend efficiency, performance, and everyday comfort.
