The 11th-generation 2023 Accord Hybrid takes safety to the next level with an expanded and enhanced Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive systems. This system integrates a new front sensor camera and millimeter-wave radar, significantly improving collision prevention capabilities.
The new camera boasts a 90-degree field of view, a substantial increase from the 50-degree field of view of the previous generation. The radar is now mounted directly behind the Honda logo on the grille, expanding its field of view to 120 degrees from the previous 50 degrees.
These wider angles enhance collision prevention performance by improving the system’s ability to recognize objects such as vehicles and pedestrians, as well as lane markings and road boundaries like curbs and road signs.
The camera detects feature points of targets and recognizes attributes of objects, such as vehicles or pedestrians. Utilizing an exceptionally fast processor, the system measures distance and lateral position of objects based on changes in target object size, the time it takes for these changes to occur, and the vehicle’s speed.
EX-L and above trims are equipped with four sonar sensors on the front of the vehicle and four on the rear. These sensors significantly improve the detection of non-metallic objects, such as glass and exterior walls, further enhancing low-speed collision prevention.
Honda Sensing® functions include:
- Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) (New): TJA operates in conjunction with ACC and LKAS to provide lane-keeping assistance at speeds below approximately 45 mph, down to a standstill, useful in congested traffic situations.
- Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR) (New): The front sensor camera automatically recognizes traffic speed limit signs, displaying the information on the digital meter immediately after passing the sign, enhancing driver awareness of speed limits.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): The new front sensor camera and radar enable CMBS™ to function in more situations, including detecting pedestrians and bicyclists. If no corrective action is taken after FCW alerts, CMBS™ can apply varying levels of autonomous braking to help reduce vehicle speed and collision forces, mitigating collision severity.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW, integrated with CMBS™): When FCW determines a potential collision with a detected vehicle, visual and audible alerts prompt the driver to take corrective action.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow (ACC): The new front sensor camera and radar enhance Adaptive Cruise Control, providing more natural brake feel and quicker reactions to changes in traffic flow. ACC also responds more rapidly when changing lanes from behind a slower vehicle and better maintains constant vehicle speed in downhill situations. The system also adjusts acceleration characteristics based on the selected drive mode.
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): LKAS reduces the need for steering corrections and driving effort. For the 2023 Accord Hybrid, LKAS is improved with more linear and natural steering assist feel, better lane tracing in corners, and enhanced resistance to crosswinds.
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): RDM identifies solid or dashed lane lines, Botts’ dots, and cat’s-eye markers to detect the edge of the road. It uses steering force to prevent the vehicle from departing the lane or roadway. The detection range is expanded to include road shoulders and curbs due to the wide-angle detection sensor.
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Integrated with RDM, LDW operates at speeds from approximately 45 to 90 mph and alerts the driver if the vehicle is leaving a detected lane without the turn signal being activated.
- Blind Spot Information (BSI) system: BSI uses millimeter-wave radar installed on the rear corners of the vehicle to detect approaching vehicles from the rear, providing visual and audible warnings to the driver. For the 2023 Accord Hybrid, the warning distance has been increased to improve detection of overtaking vehicles.
- Low Speed Braking Control (Touring trim): Standard on the Touring trim, this system utilizes four sonar sensors on the front and four on the rear of the vehicle. It enables assistive braking and driving power to reduce the likelihood of low-speed collisions, such as in parking situations.
Additional Safety and Driver Assistive Technologies for Enhanced Awareness
The 2023 Accord Hybrid features a Driver Attention Monitor, which continuously assesses driver behavior to detect inattentiveness. If fatigue is detected, the system alerts the driver with a coffee cup icon and a 4-level bar graph on the instrument meter. As driver attention decreases, fewer bars illuminate. When attention drops to two bars, a message prompts the driver to take a break. If driving continues and attention further decreases to one bar, a beeper sounds, and the steering wheel vibrates, urging the driver to pay closer attention or take a rest break.
Rear Seatbelt Reminder and Rear Seat Reminder are standard features. Rear Seat Reminder activates when exiting the vehicle, notifying drivers with a graphic on the driver information interface and an audible alert to check the rear seating area for children, pets, or other valuable items. Expanded standard security features now include a stolen vehicle locator, remote immobilizer, and a Find-My-Vehicle function, enhancing vehicle security and peace of mind.
ACE™ Body Structure and Advanced Collision Protection

This latest iteration of the ACE structure in the new Accord Hybrid incorporates many of the advancements introduced on the 11th-generation Civic and 2023 HR-V and CR-V. This includes a robust upper member constructed of high-strength steel, and A-pillar structure, side frame, and lower firewall structure all designed to effectively route crash energy around the cabin, particularly in oblique impacts.
Side impact protection has been significantly enhanced to meet tougher new side-impact standards. A new, stiffer B-pillar and side sills are used, along with stronger door stiffening beams and a stronger rear wheelhouse. The body structure is also engineered to effectively route energy into the floor in the event of a rear collision, further enhancing occupant protection.
Advanced Airbag and Seatbelt Technologies for Enhanced Occupant Safety
The 2023 Accord Hybrid utilizes next-generation Honda front driver and passenger airbags, first introduced in the 11th-generation Civic. These airbags are specifically designed to reduce head rotation in a collision, particularly in oblique impacts. The driver’s side airbag features an innovative tuck-sewing structure to reduce airbag tension, cradling and holding the head to mitigate rotation and reduce the likelihood of brain injury.
The passenger-side front airbag utilizes a three-chamber design, with the two outer chambers engineered to cradle the head and minimize rotation. The three chambers inflate separately, with the outer chambers extending above the main chamber to cradle the head and enhance rotational control.
The 2023 Accord Hybrid further benefits from additional standard airbag technology, including side curtain airbags, side impact airbags, and front knee airbags for both driver and front passenger. For the first time, rear-passenger side impact airbags are also standard, providing enhanced side impact protection for rear occupants.
Seatbelt technology has been updated as well, with outer lap belt pretensioners with load limiters used on front seatbelts to prevent chest injuries. In the rear, the 2023 Accord Hybrid now features pretensioners in both outboard positions, along with load limiters and a rear seatbelt reminder, informing the driver if a rear seat occupant is not properly buckled up.
