Exterior Features
For 2016, the Accord goes on in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan body styles, and each model gets styling updates to refresh its appearance. Also, the Accord Coupe is available in a fresh top-of-the-line level of touring trim. Does the latest Accord sedan look an unpleasant lot like an Acura, specifically in Touring trim along with the LED headlight design? Maybe. The Acura-design grille is the boldest element of the revised, and more aerodynamic front-styling of Accord. Many trim levels also include modern LED fog lights and all the 2016 Accords feature a modified front bumper design and a fresh, and reshaped aluminum hood. Around back, the Accord gets brand new crisper rear bumper and the LED taillights.
