Overview

Cars like the 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Accord Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a twin-motor hybrid system to produce 212 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Accord Hybrid a 0-60 of 7.1 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 Accord Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 47 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Honda Accord Hybrid competes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Kia Optima Hybrid, and the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It offers 5 trims, starting off at MSRP $25,100.

Buying Advice

The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid is a great choice for those who want a spacious and well-rounded sedan with excellent fuel economy. Even the base Accord Hybrid comes with a long list of features, making it a great value. However, if you don't want to miss out on some noteworthy features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and heated front seats, we recommend choosing the EX trim. It also comes standard with a bigger touchscreen system and a host of other features that make it a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and feature-rich car.
