2024 Honda Accord Hybrid
For generations, drivers have been drawn to the Honda Accord for its agreeable combination of reliability, straightforward good looks, and affordable classiness. While this nameplate has also long represented fuel efficiency, that’s especially true with the Accord Hybrid, which Honda introduced in 2005 (and reintroduced in 2014 after a few years’ hiatus). This well-rounded gas-electric midsized sedan achieves as much as 51 miles per gallon, according to the EPA’s official estimations. For even more value, all buyers and lessees receive Honda Service Pass, which covers the car’s scheduled maintenance (multipoint inspections, oil changes, and tire rotations) for the first two years or 24,000 miles.

Trims, Powertrain, and Fuel Efficiency
Honda has kept the same lineup for the Accord, splitting the trims up with the low levels (LX and EX)
used for the conventional gas-only version, while the Accord Hybrid comes as the more-loaded Sport,
EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring. The gas-electric power system unites a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas-burning
engine with two electric motors, resulting in a total output of 204 hp and 247 lb.-ft. of torque. All
trims have an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and are
front-wheel-drive.
With any hybrid vehicle, buyers tend to care most about fuel efficiency.
According to the official estimations performed by the EPA, the EX-L achieves 51 miles per gallon in
city driving and 44 mpg on the highway. The other three trim levels carry a rating of 46 mpg city/41 mpg
highway.
Premium Equipment
The Sport trim is generously equipped with the likes of a moonroof, proximity keyless entry, a power seat
for the driver, auto on/off LED headlights, sport pedals, two zones of automatic climate control,
push-button start, a 10.2-inch Driver Information Interface (customizable), a leather-wrapped steering
wheel and shift knob, and a 60/40-split folding rear seatback. The EX-L gets all of the above save for
the sport pedals, while also upgrading the upholstery to leather and adding a power front passenger’s
seat, driver’s-side position memory, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, and an auto-dimming
rearview mirror.
The Sport-L unites the best features of the two trims before it, although it
drops the auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Touring maximizes luxury with ventilated front seats, heated
rear outboard seats, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a
passenger-side mirror with reverse-gear tilt-down. Its Driver Information Interface also displays Google
Maps. All trims have a pair of USB-C charging ports in the front row, with the EX-L and Touring getting
two more for the back row.
Advanced Safety Features
Honda Sensing, the proprietary safety technology suite, supplies every Accord Hybrid trim with adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, automatic high beams, road departure mitigation, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring. The two higher trims get parking sensors as well, but only the Touring receives low-speed braking control.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The Accord Hybrid’s infotainment system is swipe-capable and more generously sized touchscreen than most vehicles: 12.3 inches for every trim. The standard features that it manages are Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Amazon Alexa. The Sport, EX-L, and Sport-L have an audio system with eight speakers, while the Touring gets the royal treatment with a deluxe Bose unit with 12 speakers and adds HD Radio. The Touring also moves up to a Google built-in system, where the added features are Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play.
