Honda Accord depreciation by country

The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Honda Accord depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.

🇺🇸
United States
Baseline

Baseline market. The Accord is a perennial top-seller with exceptionally strong resale, particularly for Sport and Hybrid trims. Used demand is consistently high across all regions.

Currency: USD Unit: mi
🇨🇦
Canada
-4% retention

Strong retention similar to the US, though winter climates favor AWD alternatives like the CR-V. Touring Hybrids in CAD terms depreciate ~3–4% faster than US equivalents.

Currency: CAD Unit: km
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
-18% retention

Accord was discontinued in the UK after 2015, so newer models are grey imports with minimal market depth. Depreciation is steep due to thin parts supply and consumer preference for European brands.

Currency: GBP Unit: mi
🇪🇺
Europe
-20% retention

Europe phased out the Accord; buyers favor diesel wagons and premium German sedans. Resale is weak with steeper depreciation curves, especially outside major cities.

Currency: EUR Unit: km
🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia
+10% retention

Honda Accord is extremely popular in Saudi Arabia as a comfortable, reliable highway cruiser. Strong demand for V6 and Touring trims keeps resale values firm, often 8–10% above US benchmarks.

Currency: SAR Unit: km
🇮🇳
India
-15% retention

The Accord was discontinued in India in 2020 after weak hybrid sales. Older gasoline models have a small loyal following, but resale is limited by sparse parts availability for hybrids.

Currency: INR Unit: km
🇦🇺
Australia
-10% retention

Accord is a niche player in Australia, overshadowed by the Camry and SUVs. Depreciation runs slightly steeper, though well-kept hybrids retain value among enthusiast buyers.

Honda Accord depreciation after an accident

An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Honda Accord.

Minor accident
+8% depreciation

Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.

Moderate accident
+18% depreciation

Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.

Major accident
+33% depreciation

Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.

This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.

Honda Accord FAQ

How much does a Honda Accord depreciate per year?
A new Honda Accord depreciates about 15% in the first year, then roughly 7–8% each subsequent year. After 5 years, an Accord retains approximately 58% of its original MSRP, which is well above the 45% industry average for midsize sedans.
What is a Honda Accord worth after 5 years?
A Honda Accord purchased new for $32,000 will typically be worth around $18,500 after 5 years with average mileage of 67,500 miles. Hybrid and Sport trims retain slightly more, while loaded Touring models depreciate a bit faster in absolute dollars.
Does the Accord Hybrid depreciate faster than the gas model?
No — the Accord Hybrid actually depreciates slightly slower than the gas-only version, holding about 2–3% more value at the 5-year mark. Rising fuel prices and strong Honda hybrid reliability drive sustained used-market demand.
How does mileage affect Honda Accord depreciation?
Each mile beyond the 13,500/year average reduces an Accord's value by about $0.013. High-mileage Accords (150,000+ miles) still hold meaningful value thanks to the model's reputation for reliably exceeding 200,000 miles with basic maintenance.
How much value does an accident take off a Honda Accord?
A minor accident reduces Accord resale by around 8%, a moderate accident by ~18%, and a major accident with structural damage by roughly 33%. Even with quality repairs, a Carfax-reported accident permanently impacts trade-in and private-party value.
