The tenth-generation Accord was unveiled on 14 July 2017. Production began on 18 September 2017 and sales began on 18 October 2017 in the United States as a 2018 model.

The optional 2.0-litre VTEC turbo four-cylinder engine, which replaced the V6 engine option, was available beginning December 2017.

The Accord Hybrid went on sale in March 2018. The 1.3 kWh lithium-ion battery was reduced in physical size and moved from the boot to under the rear seat. The generator and propulsion motor permanent magnets no longer contain rare-earth heavy metals. To save weight, the front subframe, front control arms, bonnet, front and rear bumpers are constructed of aluminum, which were previously reserved for past hybrid models.

Approximately 57% of the body was made from high strength steel including 29% ultra-high-strength hot stamped 980-1500 MPa grades. Structural adhesives are employed for the first time on the Accord with 115 ft of adhesive bonding applied to the body. The body in white (BIW) is lighter, with improved structural rigidity.

A Sport SE trim replaces the EX 1.5T, while the manual transmission has been discontinued due to poor sales. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto touchscreen integration became standard on all models, with wireless functionality on EX-L and higher trim levels.

With discontinuation of Honda Legend in 2021, the Accord is once again the largest Honda sedan since 1985.
