Used 2022 Honda Accord Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Honda Accord is a midsize sedan available in six trim levels: LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition (or simply SE), EX-L, Sport 2.0T and Touring. Most Accords come with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (192 horsepower, 192 lb-ft of torque) and a continuously variable automatic transmission that powers the front wheels. The Sport 2.0T and Touring receive a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (252 hp and 273 lb-ft) and a traditional 10-speed automatic transmission. There's also an Accord Hybrid model that is reviewed separately.

LX
Comes well equipped for the price, with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Push-button ignition
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety features that includes:
    • Frontal collision mitigation (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping assist (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Sport
Adds some sporty styling flourishes and a few convenience items such as:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Foglights
  • Rear spoiler
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
  • Paddle shifters
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • 60/40-split rear seat
  • Unique seat upholstery
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • Rear-seat USB charge ports

Sport SE
Builds on the regular Sport with more convenience and luxury features that include:

  • Keyless entry
  • Heated mirrors
  • Remote engine start
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat

EX-L
Goes without the Sport SE's paddle shifters, spoiler and 19-inch wheels but adds:

  • Sunroof
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Universal garage door opener
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Premium 10-speaker audio system
  • Satellite radio
  • Added safety features that include:
    • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
    • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Sport 2.0T
This model is outfitted similar to the Sport SE minus the leather upholstery and power front passenger seat, but it gains the more powerful engine and traditional automatic transmission. It also adds:

  • Sunroof
  • Satellite radio
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless charging pad

Touring
The top-of-the-line Touring is equipped similar to the EX-L but with the 2.0T engine and transmission. It also adds:

  • Adaptive suspension dampers (enhance ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Navigation system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Low-speed anti-collision braking (applies the brakes if a collision is imminent between 1 and 6 mph)

Which Accord trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Sport SE is our top pick in the Accord lineup. It has some extra features, such as keyless entry, leather upholstery and heated seats, that make it worth the price premium over the Sport trim. There's also the similarly equipped Sport 2.0T if you want more horsepower.
