2020 Accord Hybrid
Not Just Another Pretty Face (+video)

When your car looks this good, it’s hard not to brag. Once seated inside the 2020 Accord Hybrid, refined, luxurious features surround you, from the available heated leather-wrapped steering wheel to the available perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces. To top it all off, the proximity key entry system with pushbutton start and remote engine starter means the Accord Hybrid is ready before you are.

When it comes to efficiency, the Accord Hybrid can be summed up in five words: top-class fuel consumption ratings. The 2.0-litre, 16-valve, DOHC, 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine delivers power and versatility, while the Electric-Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT) system manages interactions between the two electric motors and the gasoline engine, meaning the Accord Hybrid draws from the fuel tank only when needed.

For a more hands-on driving experience, engage the Sport Drive button to apply dynamic handling, or switch things up with EV mode. Want to help conserve fuel? ECON mode has your back. For even more efficiency over short distances, engage the steering wheel-mounted deceleration paddle selectors, which let you control the rate of deceleration by simulating engine braking, helping to recharge the battery.

Get ready for an incredible experience with the technologically advanced Accord Hybrid. With Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, easily connect your compatible smartphone to use on the 8″ Display Audio System. On the same screen, display your route with the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with bilingual Voice Recognition.

But the tech doesn’t stop there. The multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines is engineered to have your back, while the available head-up display (HUD) is designed to project helpful information into your line of sight on the windshield. Feel like surfing the web? Connect up to 7 compatible devices with the available AT&T Wi-fi hotspot and enjoy up to 4G LTE speeds.
