Honda basically refreshed its midsized Accord sedan and coupe for model year 2011.
Like Honda’s updates to the 2011 Accord, price increases are modest. The Accord’s starting price of $21,930 is a modest bump of $125 over the outgoing 2010 model. That price gets you a basic LX, four-door sedan with a five-speed manual and a 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter I-4. A five-speed automatic is an $800 option. The Accord LX comes equipped with air conditioning, power door locks, cruise control, and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with wheel-mounted audio controls.
Opting for the LX Premium sedan adds an extra $1800 to the base Accord’s price tag, bringing the total price to $23,730, which includes the cost of a standard five-speed automatic. Premium content includes all of the standard features on the base LX plus 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, rather than steelies, an eight-way power driver’s seat, car alarm, and auto-up/down windows for the driver and front passenger. The Accord SE trim level is new for 2011, and adds a leather interior, heated front seats, and 10-way power driver’s seat. It starts at $24,480.
Honda’s next Accord trim levels — EX, EX-L, EX-L with Navigation — offer a more powerful version of the four-cylinder engine, with 190 horsepower, or an optional 271-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6. Standard additions on the EX trim include 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a moonroof, auto-on/off halogen headlights, heated power side mirrors, rear HVAC vents, a six-disc in-dash CD changer, and a USB auxiliary audio input. The four-cylinder model with a five-speed manual starts at $24,855, with a five-speed automatic transmission an $800 option; opting for the V-6 will cost you $27,830, but includes a standard automatic, plus fog lights and chrome trim.
EX-L trim level Accords get a leather interior with leather steering wheel, an uplevel 270-watt audio system with a six-disc, in-dash CD changer, heated front seats, four-way power passenger seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, and steering wheel-mounted phone controls. Both four- and six-cylinder models come standard with a five-speed automatic transmission and start at $28,105 and $30,180, respectively. The EX-L with navigation simply adds navigation for $2200 to the price of either the four- or six-cylinder model, plus the option to order a rearview camera.
Accord Coupe trim levels include LX, EX, EX-L, and EX-L with navigation. The coupes’ trim levels mirror their sedan counterparts’, with the exception of EX V-6 models, which give buyers the option of a six-speed manual for the same price as the five-speed automatic. Prices are as follows:
LX: $23,530 with a five-speed manual (add $800 for a five-speed auto)
EX: $25,205 with a five-speed manual (add $800 for a five-speed auto)
EX-L four-cylinder: $27,855 with a five-speed auto only
EX-L six-cylinder: $30,480 with either a five-speed auto or a six-speed manual (add $2000 for EX-L with navigation)
All prices include a $750 destination fee.
