• the honda accord is getting a slight price hike for the 2020 model year.
• lx, ex, and touring models go up by $185, while the sport (pictured) goes up by $385.
• there are no changes to the accord for 2020, but we're expecting a refresh for the 2021 model year that will likely arrive next fall.

as is typical for a new model year, the 2020 honda accord is going up slightly in price. the base accord lx goes up by $185 to a new starting price of $24,800, while the accord sport rises by $385. ex and touring models also go up by $185, to $28,700 and $37,030. there's no info out yet on the 2020 accord hybrid, but honda says it is coming soon.

honda isn't making any changes to the 10best-winning accord otherwise, as the equipment list and available powertrains—a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four paired with a cvt and an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission—continue on for 2020. all accord sport models remain available with either the cvt or a no-cost six-speed manual transmission, with the 1.5-liter sport now starting at $27,075 and the 2.0-liter sport starting at $31,990.

we expect honda to roll out bigger updates to the accord next year for the 2021 model, as this tenth-generation model first arrived for the 2018 model year. it's likely to be a typical mid-cycle refresh with revised styling and a few new features, and information should be available sometime next fall. in the meantime, the 2020 model goes on sale september 17.
