Some cars stick with you. The 10th generation Honda Accord is one of those vehicles.
I remember when it arrived in my driveway in 2017. Coupe-like profile. Tablet infotainment screen astride a clean interior. Smooth 252-horsepower turbo-4. It was a luxury sedan with a mainstream badge. Slap four rings on the mega-grille and most would think it was an Audi A6.
The Accord was perhaps the first vehicle that made me realize the gap between mainstream and luxury vehicles was shrinking. Fast. So when the 2021 Accord arrived in my driveway this summer, I was eager to see if one of my favorite dance partners still had it.

The new Honda hatch builds on the all-new 11th-gen Civic revealed earlier this year, with an exterior design inspired by European sportbacks that gives it a little more of a coupe-ish, some might say less hatchback-ish, look. Honda also smoothed the lines overall by changing the hatch structure to reduce the hinge size this latter change also allows the rear door to open even wider (40 millimetres wider), which in turn allows all those young and active drivers to cram even more young and active stuff in.
It’s clearly a Civic, but there are enough cues to distinguish it from the sedan, including the honeycomb-style grille, which is a dead giveaway from the front angle. The car will be available with two new paint options including Boost Blue Pearl and Smoky Mauve Pearl.
