2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Hits U.S. Dealerships

ORLANDO, Fla. - June 23, 2016 - PRLog -- Honda has announced the exciting launch of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, which is being touted as the "most sophisticated, powerful, and fuel-efficient midsize hybrid sedan" in America.

The first new Accord Hybrids made their appearances on June 15, 2016, at dealerships across the United States, flaunting updated styling and engineering.

Powertrain Updates

The new Accord Hybrid is powered by an advanced second-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain that delivers a class-leading total system output of 212 hp. The Accord Hybrid also achieves best-in-class fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 49 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway,* which is based on the EPA's new, stricter ratings requirements.

The Accord Hybrid's revamped hybrid powertrain has been substantially changed, including alterations that have reduced the size and weight of the components while simultaneously boosting efficiency, performance, and even the car's cargo capacity. The improved compactness of the Accord Hybrid's battery pack enables a best-in-class trunk space of 13.5 cubic feet.

Combining with the two-motor hybrid system is an ultra-efficient 2.0L i-VTEC Atkinson Cycle engine.

This state-of-the-art powertrain system functions without the need for a traditional mechanical transmission; instead, it is able to smoothly transition between three operational modes:

* EV Drive
* Hybrid Drive
* Engine Drive

Fantastic Features

The 2017 Accord Hybrid lineup features three trim levels, priced at $29,605 MSRP** for the base model:

* Accord Hybrid
* Accord Hybrid EX-L

These models bring enhanced levels of standard and available features to the road, including the Honda Sensing technology suite of safety and driver-assist features, which comes standard; an available Display Audio touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility; new exterior colors and interior fabrics; available front and rear parking sensors; available remote engine start; available rain-sensing windshield wipers; available heated rear seats; available auto high-beams; and much more.
