2017 Honda Accord Hybrid
The new 2017 Accord Hybrid is more powerful, more fuel-efficient, features new styling,
sportier driving and the latest in advanced safety tech.
The Accord Hybrid is available in
three trim levels (Hybrid, Hybrid EX-L & Hybrid Touring), all boasting
increased levels of standard and optional equipment, which includes Honda
Sensing (standard on all models) and the company's newest Display Audio
touchscreen interface featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Further new features for the 2017 model include remote engine start, front/rear parking sensors, rain sensing
wipers, heated rear seats and auto high-beam headlights - depending on model
and trim, of course. The Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with dynamic guidelines is
also standard, while the Touring trim adds automatic high-beam headlights for
improved nighttime visibility.
Outside, the hybrid-exclusive design
features include the special aluminum hood and the unique alloy wheels,
together with blue highlighted LED headlights and taillights and special
exterior badging. Also, the more compact hybrid battery pack increases trunk
capacity to what Honda are claiming is now a class-leading 382
liters.
The Accord's hybrid
powertrain has a peak output (combined) of 212 HP, which the Japanese automaker
says is the highest of any rivaling midsize sedan. At the same time, EPA fuel
economy ratings of 49/47/48 mpg (city/highway/combined) put the Accord Hybrid at
the top of its class. In terms of liters per 100 km, those ratings would read
4.8/5.0/4.9 liters.
Thanks to its advanced body structure,
standard safety equipment and driver-assist features, Honda are expecting the
2017 Accord Hybrid to ace all of its safety rating tests, earning the full 5
stars from the NHTSA to go with the Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS.
