Overview

The Honda Accord has earned a lot of respect and demand in the American market since the day it was launched, quite some time ago. The sales have been strong for the car irrespective of the generation or the model year and can be attributed to the overall package the sedan brings in. Since the Accord Hybrid had stepped in the sales have boosted, just like the acceleration, with more people leaning towards a fuel-efficient and reliable sedan. 

The Accord Hybrid sees a massive increase in oomph and economy, which stand at an EPA-estimated 48 MPG combined. Although cars like the Toyota Prius and the Hyundai Ioniq provide more, the Accord capitalizes on the space and driving tranquility on offer. That said, the Toyota Camry Hybrid poses a threat to the Accord Hybrid's success. Let's see how the latter performs and how is it better than its rivals.

Buying Advice

The 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid is a great value if you’re looking for a no-frills commuter with enough prowess for a comfortable weekend outing. The interior design is intuitive and the overall design is very handsome. Apart from this, the sedan also features a long list of driver-assistance features right from the base trim onwards. The driving setup is comfortable and non-compromising. In all, the Accord Hybrid does not give us any chance to criticize it with all the boxes checked.
