The latest Honda Accord is the biggest and most powerful yet. By EPA interior volume standards, the Accord is in the full size category, and larger in most dimensions than its main competitors, the Camry and Altima. Accord EX/EX-L models equipped with the 2.4L inline-4 are tuned for slightly more power than the base LX/LX-P models. The 4-cylinder is available with a 5-speed manual or automatic, while the 3.5L V-6 is coupled to the automatic only. Honda added VCM(R) variable displacement technology to the V-6 for improved fuel economy. Both engines meet ULEV-2/PZEV standards, depending on configuration. All Accords are equipped with VSA(R) stability control. An optional 270-watt audio system with subwoofer is available on EX-L models. .

The 2011 Accord wears revised styling. The main difference is in the front end with a restyled grille and front bumper. The Accord also has a new rear deck lid with horizontal reflectors and new wheel designs. The most visible changes inside are updated seat fabrics and new accent trim. A new Accord SE model offers leather seats at a lower price point. Fuel economy improves slightly for most models.
