Accord Exterior
Minor changes to the Accord have not drastically changed the sedan s overall look. Besides a widened grille and upgraded LED headlights on certain trims, along with tinier openings for the fog lights, it remains largely similar to last year s model. The sloping rear roofline remains an attractive styling feature, while hybrid models have a blue Honda badge in front. Lower trims have 17-inch alloy wheels, while sportier variants get 19-inch rims. A gloss black decklid spoiler is equipped to the Sport and Sport SE variants, as are chrome exhaust finishers. The latter feature also makes it onto the Touring 2.0T. A power moonroof is standard on upper trims.
