The new Accord might not be as sharp but continues to stand out among the competition.
, but it still delivers a competent ride and plenty of interior space. We spent a few days behind the wheel of the new hybrid, and although we missed some attributes of the previous Accord, this one continues to shine among its rivals.Using a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a motor generator and a powerful electric drive motor, the 2023 Accord Hybrid delivers 204 hp combined, which is enough to launch it to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, a decent number given its big size.
. There are four drive modes available—Normal, Econ, Sport, and EV. Sport thickens up the weighting of the steering and makes the powertrain a tad peppier, while Econ relaxes response to save fuel. EV mode is exactly what it sounds like—the powertrain only works with the electric motor—but the onboard battery is so small that it will switch back to Normal mode after very few minutes or miles.
In terms of fuel economy, the Accord continues to deliver superb numbers. Our Accord Sport-L tester delivers 46/41/44 mpg in city/highway/combined traffic, but the EX-L trim improves those figures at 51/44/48 mpg thanks to its smaller 17-inch wheels and tires. These numbers are also better than the previous generation Accord, which was rated at 44-48/41-47/43-47 mpg depending on the trim.
