2026 Honda Accord Pricing Announced: What's Included in Every Model
January 07 2026,
The 2026 Honda Accord is here in Canada with confirmed pricing and a major upgrade to standard equipment across the lineup. Honda Canada announced that every Accord now includes a larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a wireless phone charger—features that were previously optional or reserved for higher trims. The Accord SE starts at an MSRP of $38,500, with hybrid models priced at $43,700 (Sport-L Hybrid) and $46,200 (Touring Hybrid).
The real news isn't just the price—it's what you get for it. The 2026 Accord lineup delivers more tech, sportier styling, and the same reliability drivers in Quebec expect from Honda. Nearly 75% of Accord buyers in Canada chose hybrid models in 2025, and Honda has responded by making the hybrid option more accessible while upgrading the turbocharged SE with larger wheels and enhanced handling.
Standard Tech Features Now Included Across All Trims
Every 2026 Accord comes equipped with a 9-inch colour touchscreen—almost 30% larger than the previous generation—paired with a physical volume knob for easy control. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are now standard, eliminating the need for cables and keeping your cabin clutter-free. A Qi-compatible 15W wireless phone charger is also included, so your devices stay powered without extra accessories.
These upgrades apply to all three trim levels: SE, Sport-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid. Drivers no longer need to step up to a higher trim to access wireless connectivity or a larger screen—Honda has made these features baseline for 2026.

The turbocharged SE is powered by a 1.5-litre engine with VTEC variable valve lift technology, producing 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid models use Honda's two-motor system, delivering 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque while achieving fuel economy ratings as low as 5.3 L/100 km combined.
What's New for 2026
The Accord SE receives the most noticeable updates for 2026. Honda upgraded the wheels to 19 inches—2 inches larger than before—with an aggressive five-spoke design that sharpens the sedan's stance and handling dynamics. The larger wheels complement the Accord's refined proportions and improve road presence.
The Sport-L Hybrid gains black decklid badging to match its black door mirrors, black shark fin antenna, and gloss-black B-pillar trim. These styling touches reinforce the sportier character of the hybrid lineup without adding weight or complexity.
All three trims benefit from the expanded standard tech package, making the 2026 Accord more competitive in the midsize sedan segment.
Powertrain Options: Turbo or Hybrid
The Accord SE uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The CVT includes Step-Shift programming that simulates gear changes under full throttle, delivering a more engaging driving experience. This powertrain is smooth, responsive, and well-suited to daily driving in Quebec, with fuel economy ratings of 7.5 L/100 km combined.
The Sport-L and Touring Hybrid models use Honda's two-motor hybrid system, which operates without a traditional transmission or CVT. The system relies on the interplay between two electric motors and a gasoline engine, offering direct drive force transfer for smooth acceleration and efficient highway cruising. Linear Shift Control mimics the feel of a conventional drivetrain shifting gears, adding a sense of connection during acceleration. Hybrid models achieve fuel economy ratings of 5.3 L/100 km combined—ideal for drivers looking to reduce fuel costs without sacrificing performance.
Standard Safety and Driver-Assistance Technology
Every 2026 Accord includes the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assistive technologies:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
- Traffic Jam Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
- Forward Collision Warning
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor (standard on SE and up)
Honda also includes Rear Seat Reminder and Rear Seatbelt Reminder as standard across the lineup. The Accord's body structure uses Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE), designed to help protect occupants in frontal collisions. The front airbags feature advanced designs to minimize the potential for severe brain trauma in angled impacts—the driver's airbag uses a donut-shaped structure to cradle the head, while the passenger airbag uses a three-chamber design for similar protection.
Why the 2026 Accord Offers Strong Value
The 2026 Accord pricing reflects Honda's strategy of making advanced tech accessible without requiring buyers to step up to premium trims. Wireless connectivity, a larger touchscreen, and a wireless charger are now baseline features—not add-ons. The SE's larger wheels and improved handling dynamics make the base model more appealing, while the hybrid models deliver fuel efficiency that matches or exceeds many compact sedans.
For drivers in Hull and across Quebec, the Accord's combination of reliability, efficiency, and standard equipment makes it a practical choice in the midsize sedan segment. The hybrid models' fuel economy ratings are especially relevant for commuters and families looking to reduce long-term ownership costs.
