The discontinuation of the manual gearbox in the Accord didn’t surprise the auto industry. In a 2020 report by car and driverHonda claims that manual-equipped Accords made up just 1% to 2% of sales in 2019. The automaker sold 267,567 Accords in that period, and only 2,500 to 5,000 came with the manual gearbox.
Unfortunately, the numbers didn’t make sense financially. As a result, Honda had to quietly omit the manual option because it introduced the 2021 Accord just a year before the redesigned 11th-generation version was introduced. The Accord’s no-cost manual gearbox was available for the base 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter engine, but even the brand’s best-selling car has to adapt to changing times.
Just the fact that the deal has weathered an onslaught Transitions And SUV It is an amazing achievement. The lack of a manual option for the 2023 Accord is a disappointment, but the Honda Civic still has it to meet enthusiast demands.
