Nearly everyone loves the Honda Accord—and with good reason. It's an all-around solid midsize sedan with lots of great features. But what are the best features for the 2025 model year? And why would New York residents be compelled to visit a Honda dealer near Nanuet like ourselves to get one? It all boils down to the abundance of convenience: having lots of interior amenities, great fuel economy, easy accessibility, remote functionality, and reliable connectivity.

When you look at all of these features from on high, you may not see much of a difference between the Accord and other midsize sedans out there, but the reality is that the Accord has plenty of unique features that set it apart and give it its own unique identity. Our job is to help outline what these features are, why you should care, and how they help you get the most for your money. If this list convinces you that the Accord might be right for you, check out our inventory or talk with a representative about how you can drive a 2025 model yourself.

#1. Fuel Economy

The 2025 Accord offers two distinct powertrains, both in front-wheel drive. These powertrains give you turbocharged performance to quickly get around Nanuet or commute longer distances with responsive power. But the real highlight is the fuel-saving measures, thanks to great engineering. The 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder makes 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, and its continuously variable transmission enables it to achieve an EPA-estimated 29 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. This makes the Accord excellent as a daily driver for running errands around town or as a work-essential commuter vehicle.

The hybrid 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder manages 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, combining a traditional combustion engine and an electric motor, which helps you get more range than traditional internal combustion engines alone. Thus, you get 51 MPG in the city and 44 MPG on the highway, which makes the hybrid Accord perfect for those who find themselves in a lot of bumper-to-bumper, stop-and-go, inner-city traffic. The added EV Mode also makes it so you can drive on battery alone, or you can use the ECON mode to get optimal efficiency, so you can travel further without having to fill up quite as often.

#2. Honda Sensing

One of the 2025 Accord's most essential and best features is the Honda Sensing suite. Every Accord comes with a standard suite of driver assistance technologies, including collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist with traffic jam assist, and traffic sign recognition (which can convey information to the driver from speed limit signs). The Honda Sensing suite also includes adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow.

These tools are magnificent, whether you're moving through Nanuet or making long commutes along I-287. Adaptive cruise control is quite effective for making commutes more tolerable by detecting vehicles ahead of the Accord and slowing or accelerating in pace with them. These systems make travel so much safer, easier, and more convenient, whether you're making a quick run to the store, taking the kids to school, or making the commute to work. There's a reason why Honda models consistently get top safety marks: having the Honda Sensing suite standard on every 2025 Accord helps make it incredibly safe.

#3. More Ways to Charge

Keeping your devices charged isn't just a luxury anymore; it's an essential part of life. For those who need their phones, tablets, or laptops for work, having to engage in teleconferences or send emails or texts remotely while you drive, having your devices active and connected is absolutely essential. But in order to do that, they need to be charged, and the 2025 Honda Accord makes it so that you have multiple ways to keep them connected and charged while on the go.

The 2025 Accord has added standard USB-C ports across the trim line, so whether you opt for the base LX trim, the all-new SE trim, or the Touring Hybrid trim, you can keep your smart devices plugged in and charged. In addition to the USB ports, you also have a wireless phone charging pad, enabling you to keep your smartphone charged without having to plug it in. This is extremely useful for those who don't want to tote a specific cord everywhere they go or deal with cords getting tangled. Instead, just place the device on the charging pad and carry on about your day.

#4. Infotainment Connectivity

The infotainment suite in the 2025 Accord is expansive, with essential connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you full access to phone projection on either a 7-inch touchscreen or a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen. Also included is Google Built-In, boasting a suite of assistant technologies with voice-activated commands, as well as the Alexa Built-In suite. These features allow you to make hands-free phone calls, send texts, or receive messages, all while keeping your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.

With HondaLink, you also have access to remote functionality and features using apps that you can connect your Accord to via your smartphone so that you can perform actions such as remotely opening your garage, connecting to the vehicle's Wi-Fi hotspot, or sending commands through Alexa. Plus, with the built-in navigation suite, you can receive turn-by-turn directions to your intended destination. Additionally, you can enjoy wireless Bluetooth streaming for your favorite media playlists and podcasts through the available Bose premium sound system featuring 12 speakers and a subwoofer.

#5. Leather Upholstery

How can seating be one of the best features of the 2025 Honda Accord? Because it makes driving way more comfortable and relaxing for long drives and challenging commutes. The Accord's 10-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar support and heated and ventilated capabilities means that you can enjoy a relaxing drive for short or long distances alike.

With added features like automatic climate control to regulate the temperature in the cabin, you'll have a comfortable atmosphere and the ability to keep the seats heated or the cabin cool depending on the outdoors temperature. Furthermore, the one-touch moonroof gives the Accord a great sense of luxury and relaxation when you want to have the outdoors pouring in, whether you're making a quick trip to the store or a long drive into New York City.

#6. Self-Opening Trunk

Convenience comes in many forms, and one of the best for modern vehicles is remote accessibility—manipulating your vehicle without having to manually or mechanically interact with it. In the case of the 2025 Accord, one of the best features is the self-opening trunk, giving you access to the 16.7 cu.ft. of cargo space. If you press the latch or the trunk button from within the cabin or use the remote feature, the trunk will not only simply pop open, but it will fully open automatically for you.

This is such a huge benefit for when you go grocery shopping, have a lot of office supplies in hand, or are carrying school work or books and don't want to have to put everything down to open the trunk fully. Combined with the other remote features, such as being able to open the garage door, lock or unlock the doors, or remote start the vehicle, you have the convenience of getting into, securing, and starting the vehicle with ease. This makes the Accord a highly accessible midsize sedan.

#7. The HPD Package

There are easy ways to improve the sports appeal of the 2025 Honda Accord if you're looking for a midsize sedan that taps into its performance-oriented design. Honda provides the HPD Package (also known as the Honda Performance Development Package), which gives the Accord stylistic upgrades so that it visually matches its performance capabilities. You can acquire the HPD Package for the LX, EX-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid trims.

The HPD Package features front and rear underbody spoilers, extended side skirts, a door mirror cover, and a black decklid spoiler. Plus, you have an HPD Emblem to let everyone know that you have this package for the 2025 Accord. If you wanted a spruced-up midsize sedan to make your travels feel a little more sporty, then the HPD Package is easily one of the best ways to bring out the Accord's design language. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly is for those who want to raise their curb appeal.
