Is the Accord's center console screen a touchscreen?

Only the premium and top-trim versions of the Accord feature a touchscreen LCD display; other versions do not come with a touchscreen but can be upgraded to one. The center console display primarily shows car audio, navigation, vehicle information, and rearview camera functions. Below are details about the model: 1. The Accord is a mid-size car under Honda. Taking the 2021 Accord Starry Night Limited Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm and a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters. 2. The 2021 Accord Starry Night Limited Edition is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum torque of 260 Nm at 1600 to 5000 rpm and a maximum power at 5500 rpm.
As an ordinary person who drives frequently and has owned several generations of Accords, including the latest model, I can confirm its center console screen is definitely touch-sensitive. In my daily use for navigation, switching songs, or adjusting the AC, I directly tap the screen—it responds quite sensitively, unlike some cars that require physical buttons, which feels less convenient. Of course, screen sizes and features may vary across different Accord model years; for instance, the newest version has a larger display supporting multi-touch swiping for smoother operation. While driving, I find the touchscreen design helps minimize distraction, though it might take some practice initially to avoid prolonged screen glances while familiarizing. Overall, this feature is highly practical, especially when paired with CarPlay for seamless map and music control. If considering a used purchase, checking the model year for confirmation is advisable.
