The new Accord has no V6, and Capital City Honda sells two versions
No. Capital City Honda in Sacramento sells both current versions new. We sell the Accord and the Accord Hybrid, and neither one uses a V6. The Accord LX makes 192 horsepower at 6,000, and the Accord Sport Hybrid makes 204 horsepower, according to Honda’s published figures for the 2026 model year.
What engine does the new Honda Accord have instead of a V6?
The base Accord uses a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and the Accord Hybrid uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder in its hybrid version. The EPA certification record lists both engines for the 2026 model year. Honda publishes 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque for the Accord LX and the Accord SE. Every Accord Hybrid trim is rated at 204 horsepower, including the Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid.
Which Honda Accord model years had a V6 engine?
The 3.5-liter V6 was in the Accord from 2013 to 2017. The current Accord has no V6 trim. The EPA certification record for the 2026 Accord lists four trims, the base, the Hybrid, the Hybrid Sport/Touring and the SE, and each one has four cylinders. If you want a V6 Accord, you are shopping older model years.
How much does a new Honda Accord cost in Sacramento?
Honda lists the 2026 Accord LX at $28,395 and the Accord Sport Hybrid at $33,795. The hybrid trims rise from there. The Accord EX-L Hybrid lists at $35,095, the Sport-L Hybrid at $35,495 and the Touring Hybrid at $39,495.
What warranty covers a new Accord, and what backs a certified pre-owned one?
A new 2026 Accord carries Honda’s basic warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
A certified pre-owned Honda gets more coverage than the basic new-car warranty. Honda’s certified program covers 2021 to 2026 vehicles with under 80,000 miles. It adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles, plus non-powertrain coverage for 2 more years or up to 100,000 miles, with a $0 deductible on covered repairs (Honda Certified Pre-Owned, 2026).
What sales tax and fees will you pay on a car in Sacramento?
Your sales tax depends on where you register the car, not where you buy it. California’s statewide rate is 7.25%, and local district taxes are added to that base (California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, 2026).
This example is hypothetical. Say you buy an Accord Sport Hybrid at its $33,795 price and register it in Sacramento County at 7.750%. The sales tax on that price would be $2,619.11. Registration then adds the DMV’s $76 base fee, which includes the $3 Alternative Fuel/Technology Fee, and the $34 California Highway Patrol fee (California Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). The DMV also charges an annual vehicle license fee of 0.65% of the vehicle’s purchase price or value, paid in place of that amount being included in your property tax (California Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
