Even with the large number of hybrid models available on the road today, the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is able to win the title of most efficient and most powerful within its class. This midsize hybrid wasn’t available for the 2016 model year, and the break seems to have been well-spent by Honda engineers. The newest 2017 Accord Hybrid is the perfect combination of power, efficiency, and affordability, starting at just $29,605*.
Honda Accord Hybrid Fuel Economy
When it comes to hybrids, most people want to know what the vehicle in question can do. After all, the majority of Omaha drivers who pick hybrids do so because of their excellent efficiency. The fuel efficiency ratings for the 2017 Accord Hybrid are 49 mpg** in the city, 47** on the highway, and 48** combined. To put these in perspective, you have to remember that the EPA is using stricter ratings for 2017 model vehicles with the goal of better reflecting real-world numbers. Because of this, you can’t directly compare the 2017 Accord Hybrid’s efficiency with 2016 model years of competitors. When the ratings are adjusted, the 2017 Accord Hybrid leads the efficiency ratings among midsize hybrid sedans.
Accord Hybrid Power
In addition to being the most efficient in its class, the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is also the most powerful. The new powertrain saw changes to make the components smaller and lighter as a way to boost performance, cargo capacity, and efficiency. This leads to an increase in horsepower of 16 from the previous model, bringing the total up to 212 horsepower. When behind the wheel, you can pick from three drive modes — EV Drive, Hybrid Drive, and Engine Drive — to get as much power and efficiency as you want.
