Honda Accord Hybrid

The Accord Hybrid is a hybrid variant of Honda’s popular midsize sedan, the Accord. With room for up to five people, it’s the larger of two available hybrid sedans from the Japanese automaker, measuring about a foot longer than the compact Insight.

Honda offers the Accord Hybrid in four main trims: the base, the mid-level EX, the well-equipped EX-L (which includes leather upholstery), and the fully loaded Touring. Note that the EX trim was replaced by the Sport starting in 2022. Many desirable safety features, including forward collision mitigation, and lane-keeping assist, first appeared on the Accord Hybrid in 2017 and were made standard the following year, along with adaptive cruise control (which was available on the Touring since 2014). Similarly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both became available for the 2017 model year and were made standard for 2021 and later models. Other notable features, including a blind-spot warning system, a wireless device charging pad, heated front seats, and parking sensors, are reserved for the EX and higher trim levels.

Under the hood, the Accord Hybrid utilizes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with electric motors and a small lithium-ion battery pack. The combination produces about 200 horsepower (196 hp prior to 2017 and 212 hp after) and drives the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is not available.
