What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2022 Honda Accord 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 5 comparable 2022 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 9.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 33 MPG combined, the 2022 Honda Accord ranks 1st of 8 large cars EPA rated for 2022 — 6 MPG better than the 27 MPG median for that group.
That places it in the upper third of its class. Fuel cost is unlikely to be the deciding factor against its direct rivals.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,850, $450 less than the $2,300 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $9,250, a $2,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 268 grams per mile — about 4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
