@@marksimonds13 it’s pretty good, I can get 51 mpg, you just have to know how to do around with the EV mode, charging in the battery while driving, and how you put your foot on the gas, takes getting used to, but once you see the benefits, it’s definitely worth it, especially when driving in areas with lower speed limits
@@marksimonds13 I got the ex-l and drove from SC to Pgh and got 47 mpg going and 51 on return trip ,this is my first Hybrid and me and wife love it. Its a good ride and handles well. I got the black and just finished with a paint correction and tinted windows and custom rims and it looks amazing. This is my wife's 11th Honda
I had the option of purchasing this exact car. I called Honda of Seattle and had to pick between a blue and white EX-L hybrid. I picked white, so I think this is the blue one!
@@redrik009 I think I know exactly what you are talking about! Excited to see the white one. You might see a video of it on my channel before your pick up ;)
How much are you guys paying for your exls? I’m thinking of buying one but I want to be sure I’m getting a good price for it. And I’m not just talking about msrp. I mean otd prices.
We discount them. Probably the lowest you can find with no bs or surprises. Also, Otd depends on where you purchase it from. Do you want to know taxes and licensing fees for our area? Why don’t you call/email me. It is in the About Me section.
For ordering cars, is your dealership's process to contact Honda monthly with a list of cars you want for your lot? Also, I see nothing but white and grey in NC. Aside from this one, are you seeing more 1.EX-L's and 2. Canyon River Blue cars made? What about BSI? Thank you very much.
Hi Karla. That is correct. Also, we get some bonus discretionary cars if we sell out of our inventory by month end. I am seeing a Silver EX-L (without blind spot) coming first week of June. And a Canyon without blind spot the month after that.
@@walkaroundnariman 1 more Q: If I find the trim I want at a dealership other than the one I'm currently working with, how exactly does that work? For the 2 dealerships and for me? Thanks so much.
Nice video! I have been waiting for an EX-L trim. Can you check with Honda to see if we can get a spare tire kit that fits in the spare tire compartment like both the LX and EX trim for this EX-L since they all share the same 17 inch wheels? Thanks in advance!
It is such a nice car. Unfortunately you cannot get a spare tire. The car comes with a tire repair kit which makes your job really easy. The compartment that is supposed to be the place for the spare tire, is occupied with the battery. You can put a spare tire in the trunk but I wouldn’t recommend that.
@@walkaroundnariman Did you even bother to open up the entire spare tire compartment? Alex from Alex Autos lifted up the entire spare tire compartment and said it was possible to get a spare tire from Honda. I was hoping you would lift it up yourself and verify first before you give an answer.
It won’t mount flush. We had tried for previous generation and I don’t own these cars to open the compartment in the trunk. It is a liability. Sorry to give you an unsatisfying answer. Hoping more information out there would help with it.
@@walkaroundnariman ruclips.net/video/UwYHMPZukKw/видео.html. Check out at 8:50 - 9:10 time frame of the video and you can see Alex removed the foam. There is no liability just to show that there is enough space for a spare tire. Since you are working as a Honda salesman, I was hoping you would be able to confirm with Honda that. a spare tire kit from the LX and EX trims would indeed, be able to fit into the hybrid trims such as Sport, EX-L and Touring.
@@walkaroundnariman Can you confirm the front windshield as well as the front side windows are acoustic? I can't seem to find any info on Honda's website. Would be nice for Honda to specify as it may encourage more interests.
@@walkaroundnariman Guess I didn't ask correctly, lots of brands have screw in options on top of the car so it's pre-ready for aftermarket racks, guess it doesn't have that either? Those racks that grabs around the frame are horrible.
I'm still Gaga for my 13 EXL V6 sedan. This seems like a step down in performance and luxury. Like you have to do touring to get was was EXL in the 9 and 10 gen, like rear air vents
@@walkaroundnariman I am in the Washington, DC area. This car seems impossible to get at this time. Especially in the pearl black with the black wheels.
boooooo. great review my brother but I'm still in love with my 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo 6 SPEED MANUAL. if i could have one thing from the 2023 version into my 2018 will be the full screen cluster display, other than that there’s nothing else i would change about my car
@@alzuu1 hell yeah, i’m trying to make a statement to honda how you go from a luxury sport sedan which had an audience from young people to senior citizens and now to a oldsmobile type luxury vehicle 😄 👎🏾 😄 so look out for more of my protest messages on more videos 😆 🪧 😆
@@Imurge they dropped it because it sold very little compared to the other models. not worth it to keep producing them. most people are totally fine with the 6 second range 0-60 and much prefer the 45-50+ mpg from the hybrid models. if you want a 2.0 (or 3.0!) turbo engine then buy the TLX
I wonder if I could do a simple swap with the wheels. Owning a touring and getting the exl tires, safely. I don't know the wheel specs, but everything else engineering seems to be the same, and they both have practically the same total diameters with the tires. If these wheels were to work, I wouldn't think twice and buy the touring. I assume I could get someone to exchange the wheels, there's always people with big wheel taste.
@@walkaroundnariman the car animation on the infotainment screen has wheels from the touring trim. The actual car you’re reviewing is the exl trim and has different looking wheels
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one.
I had a 2009 Caddy CTS with no spare. I got stuck flat footed 4 or 5 times because of no spare. The can of shaving cream that was supposed to be used if I got a flat was worse than useless, I usually wound up having it spray out of the hole in the tire on me. Pressing the Onstar button would bring a tow truck in about 4 hours. One time the tow truck managed to damage the transmission in the process and in the end it cost me $2,500 to get it fixed. Easier and cheaper solution: Have an actual spare tire. I was considering a Honda until I found it did it did not have a spare. I then decided to keep my existing car until the wheels fall off.
I just got the 2023 honda Accord hybrid EX-L all black, love this car, love the MPG!
Congrats! The EX-L is the trim level I'll be getting as well. How is the mpg so far (hwy/city)?

Somewhat

As far as I know, it is acoustic.

Front windows are single pane, but they are slightly thicker than the back windows on hybrid trims. Hybrids are quiet
@@timyuan1948 Do you drive one?
@@timyuan1948 thank you for confirming this.
Does the Touring have more sound insulation compared to the EX-L?
It should be the same
Cmon guys do some homework. The touring has acoustic double pane glass, the other trims dont

It does! and it drives great. heated seats are standard on the EX-L and you have different drive modes such as Sport.

You know, I know people who switch from smaller to big wheels and Honda is ok with that, from an engineering standpoint. So good luck! I love the 19s
is EXL quieter than Touring, or Sport L?
Slightly, I would guess. It has smaller wheels.

I don't see where you are referring to?
