Honda Accord Hybrid Features
Third-Generation Powertrain

This sophisticated powertrain has an EPA-estimated 48 MPG city fuel economy rating**. The Accord Hybrid also features a more compact intelligent power unit (IPU) mounted under the rear floor instead of in the trunk. This location helps preserve cargo and passenger capacity. Advanced brake-by-wire technology offers more natural and consistent braking performance and pedal feel compared to the competition. Experience smooth power delivery and exceptional fuel efficiency with the Honda Accord Hybrid.
Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing®, an intelligent suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies is designed to alert you to things you might miss while driving, is included as standard on every Accord Hybrid model. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) helps brake the vehicle when it senses an otherwise unavoidable collision with a vehicle detected in front of you. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) allows you to maintain a set following interval on the highway, so you don’t have to manually change your speed. If your vehicle begins to stray from the center of a detected lane without signaling, the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) adjusts the steering to help guide you back to the lane center.
Tech-Focused Interior
Relax in complete comfort and enjoy the latest technology inside the Honda Accord Hybrid. Upscale amenities available on the Accord Hybrid include heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature, and Head-Up Display (HUD). With the optional wireless phone charger, Accord Hybrid drivers no longer have to fumble with cables or cords in order to stay powered-up. Enjoy a concert-like listening experience with the optional 450-watt premium audio system with 10 speakers including a subwoofer.
