Honda Accord Tourer running costs should not be unreasonably onerous. Although the Accord is more expensive to buy than the previous version, resale values should remain strong and for their power outputs, the engines are quite economical. Servicing won’t be as expensive as the typical prices at rival premium dealers.

It’s disappointing that the diesel version has higher carbon dioxide emissions than the previous version of the car, but overall Honda Accord Tourer emissions, including diesel particulates (soot particles) and nitrogen oxides, that contribute to localised pollution in built-up areas are far lower than before. CO2 emissions on the petrol engines with both manual and automatic gearboxes are lower than in the previous Accord.

The Japanese car maker has an excellent reputation for building robust cars, so there should be no major problems with Honda Accord Tourer reliability. The previous Accord regularly topped independent reliability surveys.
