Honda Accord Sedan 9th Generation 2013-2017 (CR2, CR3, CR6) Review

Ninth Generation Honda Accord Facelift

The 2016 model year brought about a fresh face and several upgrades for the Honda Accord 9th gen. On the exterior, a new face debuted with sharper lines and more refined design elements that made the Accord look less bulbous.

Engine, Transmission and Drivetrain

The 9th-generation Honda Accord is available with three engines, all of which do an adequate job of powering the car. All models are front-wheel-drive. The sedan is available with a 2.4-liter inline-four or 3.5-liter V6 and there are two hybrids as well, each equipped with an Atkinson-cycle 2.0-liter inline-four and either a 1.3-kWh battery on the normal hybrid or a 6.7-kWh battery on the plug-in (PHEV) with an all-electric range of 13 miles.

The 2.4-liter and 3.5-liter engines can be coupled to a six-speed manual transmission. Automatic transmissions vary, being a CVT on all four-cylinder engines (including the hybrids, which are CVT-only models) and a conventional six-speed automatic transmission on the V6s. All the same ICE drivetrain options for the Honda Accord CR2 and CR3 sedans are available on the Honda Accord CT1 and CT2 coupes. The Honda Accord CR6 Hybrid is a sedan only.

2013-2017 Accord Sedan Real MPG

If we added every model's claimed fuel consumption figures, you'd be here all day reading them. Instead, we chose a shortlist of models, based on the three models you'll likely encounter on the used market.

According to the EPA, the 2.4-liter NA engine only consumes 27/36/30 mpg city/highway/combined. The V6 is surprisingly frugal, with claimed figures of 21/33/25 mpg. As you'd expect, the most frugal model in the range is the hybrid, managing 49/47/48 mpg. All models can easily do more than 400 miles on a single tank, while the hybrid can go more than 700 miles.
