Honda Accord Sedan vs Accord Hybrid
If you're in the market for a new Honda in the Tampa Bay area, you may be debating between the popular Accord Sedan and the fuel-efficient Accord Hybrid models. The team at Brandon Honda is here to highlight the key differences between these two excellent midsize options.
Power and Performance
The Accord Sedan offers a choice of turbocharged 4-cylinder or V6 engines, giving you responsive performance and sporty handling. The Hybrid pairs two electric motors with a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle gas engine for max MPG rather than max power. The Hybrid still drives smoothly but is geared more for efficiency.
Fuel Economy
The Accord Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 48 mpg combined fuel economy, outperforming the sedan's 30 mpg combined rating. You'll save significantly on gas with the hybrid, especially in city driving.
Interior Space & Styling
You'll find a spacious, modern cabin with the latest Honda tech and amenities in both versions. The Hybrid's battery does reduce trunk space slightly, but both deliver stylish, comfortable interiors. Opt for the Touring trim levels for luxury finishes.
Price
The Hybrid does cost several thousand dollars more upfront, given the advanced powertrain. Determine whether long-term gas savings outweigh the initial price premium for your needs.
