Is the Honda Accord sold in the UK?
The Honda Accord is not sold new in the United Kingdom today. Honda UK does not offer the Accord in its current model lineup, and the model has been withdrawn from European markets in recent years. If you want an Accord, you would have to look at used examples or private imports rather than a factory-new car through official UK channels.
Historically, the Accord was available in Europe—including the UK—for several generations, with sedan and wagon variants. In the years since, Honda shifted its European strategy toward the Civic-based lineup and SUVs, and the Accord has not been part of the official European or UK portfolio for several years. The global Accord range continues in other regions such as the United States, Japan, and parts of Asia, but not as a new car in the UK.
Current UK market reality
In the United Kingdom, the Accord does not appear in Honda’s official new-car lineup. Buyers looking for a Honda with similar size, practicality, and reliability typically turn to other models in the UK range, such as the Civic, CR-V, or HR-V. The Civic in particular has hybrid options and a sedan variant in some markets, but it is not a direct one-for-one replacement for the Accord.
Ways you might still encounter an Accord in the UK
Below are the main avenues through which an Accord might appear in the UK, though none represent official new-car availability from Honda UK.
- Used Honda Accord models that were originally sold in the UK or Europe and remain on the second-hand market.
- Grey imports from other regions (for example, the United States or Japan) brought into the UK by independent importers.
- Rare examples that may be held by enthusiasts or seen in private collections or special situations.
Because these avenues involve non-official channels, buyers should be aware of potential differences in specifications, service networks, and warranty coverage compared with official UK-sold models.
What Honda offers in the UK instead
For buyers seeking a current Honda model with similar practical appeal, the following are officially sold in the UK and are commonly considered as alternatives to the Accord:
- Honda Civic — available as a hatchback with hybrid options and a roomy interior.
- Honda CR-V — a larger, practical SUV with good cargo space and recent hybrid options.
- Honda HR-V — a compact SUV with efficient packaging and modern tech.
These models reflect Honda’s current UK strategy, which prioritizes crossovers and electrified powertrains over a traditional mid-size sedan like the Accord. If a new, mid-size sedan is paramount, the Civic-based offerings and the broader hybrid ecosystem provide closest official alternatives in the UK market.
Summary
In short, the Honda Accord is not sold new in the UK today, as Honda UK no longer offers the model and Europe has moved away from the Accord in favor of Civic-based sedans and SUVs. While used or grey-import Accord examples may occasionally appear on the market, they do not come through official UK channels. For a current Honda with similar space and practicality in the UK, consider the Civic, CR-V, or HR-V, which are actively sold by Honda in Britain.
