Honda’s Accord Hybrid is, of course, part of the wildly popular and well-respected Accord family of sedans and shares most of the head-turning sheet metal with its traditional, gas-powered stablemates. Brilliant LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED fog lights are all designed to help you see and be seen. Their sleek design is engineered to better illuminate the road ahead and help you arrive safely in style. Out back, there’s more LED lighting with LED taillights and LED brake lights, adding an extra element of style and safety to your Accord Hybrid. Great style means great aesthetics, so Accord Hybrid also comes standard with 17” aluminum–alloy wheels.

New to the Accord Hybrid for 2020 is an updated Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) that functions whenever the car is operating on electric power only (unless in Park), enhancing awareness for pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users.

The 2020 Accord Hybrid is powered by the third generation of Honda’s innovative two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain, with an EPA fuel economy rating of 48 mpg in city and combined cycles. The two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain joins a 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC® Atkinson-cycle engine with 40-per cent thermal efficiency to an electric propulsion motor that churns out 232 lb.-ft. of torque for a class-leading total system output of 212 horsepower. The unique two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission and was named to the 2019 Wards 10 Best Engines list.

The 2020 Accord Hybrid offers midsize sedan shoppers the same combination of performance, refinement, technology, and value as the non-hybrid Accord, a recipe that has made Accord the winner of dozens of awards and accolades since its introduction, including 2018 North American Car of the Year.

Safety and Driver Assist Technology

Standard on every 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid is a suite of Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technologies that includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with pedestrian detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR). Also standard are automatic high-beam headlights, a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and a driver attention monitor. Additional available driver-assistive features include blind spot information (BSI) and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Thanks in part to its next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and advanced safety systems, Accord Hybrid achieves a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHTSA in its NCAP safety ratings, along with a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including the highest available IIHS rating of “Good” in all crashworthiness tests.

Cutting-Edge Connectivity

All Accord Hybrid trims come standard with Bluetooth® music streaming and Hands-Free Link®, as well as Pandora® compatibility. Accord Hybrid EX and above trims add an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, along with a range of leading-edge connectivity features, including HD Radio™ and SiriusXM® satellite radio.
