The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Will be Capable of Achieving 49 MPG Highway

BARRINGTON, Ill. - July 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Honda will soon be offering a hybrid edition of the Accord, and automaker has recently made waves by announcing the upcoming vehicle’s estimated fuel economy. Honda estimates that the 2014 Accord Hybrid will be able to achieve 49 mpg city/45 mpg highway.* This impressive estimate has the team at Motor Werks Honda (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/dealership/about.htm) more excited than ever to offer this vehicle when it’s released this October.

It’s important to note that the estimate of 49 mpg city/45 mpg highway* is from Honda itself, as the EPA has not yet released an official estimate for the 2014 Accord Hybrid. Nonetheless, this represents a significant achievement, as well as a competitive advantage over many of its rivals. The primary competitor to the new Accord hybrid will likely be the Camry hybrid, the 2013 edition of which is able to achieve 43 mpg city/39 mpg highway.

Thankfully for fans of Honda’s iconic midsize sedan, the Accord Hybrid and the standard Accord Sedan look and feel almost exactly alike, save for the hybrid edition’s exclusive badging, blue-accented grille and light lenses, LED daytime running lights, and unique wheels.

The 2014 Accord Hybrid will join the 2014 Accord Plug-In Hybrid (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/2014-honda-accord-plug-in-...) — which itself is capable of achieving 115 MPGe (Miles Per Gallon equivalent) combined** — as two of the most efficient vehicles in the Honda lineup. According to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the average cost of unleaded gasoline in the United States has risen in the last year from $3.48 to $3.59 — with steadily rising fuel prices, drivers are bound to appreciate Honda’s push to release new, fuel-sipping vehicles.
