What powers the new Honda Accord

The 2026 Accord runs on a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine in its base and SE trims. The Hybrid trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid system (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). Honda’s published specifications list 192 horsepower for the LX, at 6,000 rpm, and 204 horsepower for the Sport Hybrid, according to Honda’s published 2026 specifications.

If you want a new Accord, every trim in this lineup uses one of those two engines.

How much horsepower and torque does the Honda Accord Hybrid make?

Every 2026 Accord Hybrid trim is rated at 204 horsepower in Honda’s published specifications. That covers the Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid.

What is the EPA fuel economy of the new Honda Accord?

The EPA rates the 2026 Accord Hybrid at 51 mpg in the city, 44 on the highway and 48 combined, the highest combined rating of the four 2026 trims (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). The table gives the EPA certified figures for each trim.

EPA certified ratings, 2026 model year (fueleconomy.gov, 2026):

The Hybrid trims lead on city mpg, which is the number to check if most of your driving is stop-and-go in town.

What does a new Honda Accord cost to start?

The 2026 Accord LX starts at $28,395, and the lowest-priced hybrid is the Sport Hybrid at $33,795, according to Honda’s published 2026 pricing. These are starting prices, so the trim you choose and the options you add move the final price up.

Honda’s published starting prices for the 2026 Accord lineup:

Sales tax comes on top of these prices. In the city of Sacramento, the sales and use tax rate is 8.75%, a full point above the 7.75% rate for Sacramento County, on the CDTFA-95 schedule (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, 2026).

What warranty comes with a new Honda Accord?

A new 2026 Accord carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first in each case (Honda, 2026). The corrosion warranty runs 5 years with no mileage limit.

Honda’s limited warranty also covers greater than normal degradation of the high voltage battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles. Gradual capacity loss is expected and not covered, and an authorized Honda dealer determines whether degradation is greater than normal (Honda, 2026).

Where can Sacramento drivers find a used or certified Honda Accord?

A certified pre-owned Honda Accord follows Honda’s HondaTrue Certified terms. Under those terms, 2021 to 2026 model year vehicles with less than 80,000 miles are eligible, and each one goes through a 182-point multi-point inspection, according to Honda’s Certified Pre-Owned benefits.

The certified terms add coverage on top of the used car. HondaTrue Certified powertrain coverage runs 7 years or 100,000 miles, and non-powertrain coverage adds 2 years or up to 100,000 miles. Covered repairs carry a $0 deductible under every HondaTrue tier. HondaTrue Used covers 2016 to 2026 model year vehicles with no mileage limit, with 6 months or 10,000 miles of powertrain coverage.

In a September 2026 5-star Google review, Raymund V. wrote: “Six stars if I could. I came to Capital City Honda looking for a reliable used sedan for my son, and I left with a 2024 Accord and zero regrets. Gianni in Sales made the difference. He answered my questions honestly, sent me a clear out-the-door quote by email before I ever set foot on the lot, and respected the budget I gave him. No games, no surprise numbers at the desk. Matt in Finance kept that same standard. He walked me through the paperwork line by line, explained my options without pressuring me into add-ons I didn’t want, and moved fast so I wasn’t stuck there all night. Car shopping usually wears me out. This time it didn’t. Thanks, Gianni and Matt. I’ll send people your way.”
