How Much Does a Honda Accord Weigh? (Tons / Kg / Pounds)

Itโ€™s important to know the weight of your car as it can impact your fuel economy, safety, performance, and maneuverability. So, with that in mind, this guide shows you just how much a Honda Accord weighs in both tons, kg, and pounds. 

Not all Honda Accord weight specifications will be the same, as they can differ between years and models, so hereโ€™s an average first.

How much does a Honda Accord weigh? The average Honda Accord weight ranges from 3,106 to 3,630 pounds (1.5 to 1.8 US tons). How much your actual Honda Accord weighs will vary depending on the trim, engine type, year of manufacture and several other factors explained below.

Before I share the individual specifications, all the Honda Accord weights you see in this guide are listed as โ€œcurb weightsโ€. Curb weight is how much a vehicle weighs with no passengers or cargo inside. 

Below you can see tables showing Honda Accord weight in tons and year.

What is the gross weight of a Honda Accord?

The gross weight of your Honda Accord will be how much it weighs once you have it loaded with passengers and cargo. So, all you need to do is look at the weight tables above, find your curb weight, then add the weight of people and load to find the gross weight.

In more detail, your Honda Accord’s curb weight is its total weight with a full tank and all its standard equipment. It does not include the weight of the passengers, cargo, or any extra equipment.

Curb weights are often used because they are the closest to a vehicle’s actual weight.

Other types of weight include:

  • Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): Gross vehicle weight is your Honda Accord’s curb weight, including the passengers, luggage, and any extra equipment.
  • Payload: This is the total weight of the passengers, equipment, cargo, and anything towed to the car.
  • Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR): Your Accord’s gross vehicle weight rating is the maximum total weight it can take. According to your manufacturer, this is the maximum weight your car can take with everything in it. Exceeding the GVWR can compromise your safety or damage your vehicle.

Why is it important to know your Honda Accord’s weight?

Below are some reasons why you should know your carโ€™s weight:

1. Fuel efficiency

The more your car weighs, the more likely it is to gulp fuel. When it comes to mileage, heavier cars are not as efficient.

If you find fuel economy a big deal, you should pay attention to a car’s weight. Honda Accords are famous for their midsize range and fuel efficiency.

2. Safety

Knowing what your Accord weighs gives you an understanding of its capacity and limits. With this, you can avoid burdening your car with excesses. Overloading your vehicle will cause its parts to wear out and, in some cases, accidents.

3. Performance

If you are out for a car with high performance, you should factor in the weight. Vehicles with extra weight perform less than lighter ones when it comes to acceleration and speed.

How can you get your Honda Accordโ€™s exact weight?

You can get the exact weight of your Honda accord by:

  • Checking your ownerโ€™s manual.
  • Using a car weighing scale.
  • Confirming with your manufacturer.

Oftentimes, you can find the weight of your vehicle on the driverโ€™s side door. 

Related questions

What is the maximum load capacity of a Honda Accord?

The maximum weight limit of a Honda Accord is 850lbs which is 385kg. Exceeding the weight limit puts more strain on your engine, suspension, brakes, and tires. It increases braking distances and wears out your brake pads and rotors quickly.

When you exceed your Accord’s maximum load capacity, you risk nullifying its warranty.

What is the weight distribution of your Honda Accord?

The weight distribution of a Honda Accord varies depending on its model or trim.

The weight distribution of your Honda Accord tells how weight is distributed in the car from its front wheels to the rear. A 40/60 weight distribution, for example, means that the front wheels hold 40% of the weight while the rear has 60%.

A car’s weight distribution will affect several factors, including how quickly it accelerates and decelerates and how well it handles corners. 

Weight distribution information for your trim can easily be found in your owner’s manual.

Why itโ€™s important to know how many tons a Honda Accord weighs

I touched on this earlier in the article, but hereโ€™s a recap on why I believe itโ€™s so important to know how much your vehicle weighs.

Firstly, weight affects your fuel economy. If your car is heavier, it will use more fuel and cost you more to run. This can be a consideration when deciding whether to buy a Honda Accord or not, based on its weight compared to other cars (which are shown lower down the page). 

Secondly, a car that weighs more will be safer for the driver and passengers. Statistics often show how heavier cars sustain less damage in road accidents, meaning the people inside are safer.

โ€œA heavier vehicle provides better crash protection than a lighter one. The longer distance from the front of vehicle to the occupant compartment in larger vehicles offers better protection in frontal crashes. Heavier vehicles also tend to continue moving forward in crashes with lighter vehicles and other obstacles, so the people inside them are subject to less force.โ€

And lastly, if your Honda Accord weighs too much it wonโ€™t be as easy to turn around corners or accelerate. On the opposite angle, a heavy car has better grip on the road and brakes better.

How does the Honda Accord weight compare to other cars?

Now you know how much a Honda Accord weighs in tons and kg, how does that compare to similar sized cars and other vehicles in general? 

Rather than listing every conceivable vehicle on the market, I instead decided to list the average weights so you can compare them to the Accord.

In general, the average American midsized car similar to an Accord will weigh between 3,300 and 3,500 pounds (1.65 to 1.75 tons). Hereโ€™s how different average vehicle type weights compare.

  • Compact cars: 2,500 to 3,000 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 tons)
  • Midsize cars: 3,300 to 3,500 pounds (1.65 to 1.75 tons)
  • Large cars: 3,700 to 4,000 pounds (1.85 to 2 tons)
  • Compact SUVs / trucks: 3,300 to 3,700 pounds (1.65 to 1.85 tons)
  • Mid-size SUVs / trucks: 4,400 to 5,300 pounds (2.2 tons to 2.65 tons)
  • Large SUVs / trucks: 5,500 to 6,000 pounds (2.75 to 3 tons)

As with the other weights shown in this guide, these are curb weights so only show how much the average vehicle weighs without any loads including passengers.

How long is a Honda Accord in feet and inches?

Continuing the theme of dimensions, you might also need to know how long your Accord is. One of the more recent models was the 2020 version which came in at 192.2 inches long. This equates to16 foot long.

Conclusion

Your carโ€™s weight will depend on many different factors and can affect the mileage and performance. Thankfully, most modern Honda Accords from the last 10 years weigh similar so itโ€™s easy enough to make calculations and performance expectations.
