The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Achieves 50 MPG in the City

ORLAND PARK, Ill. - Sept. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- For drivers looking for a midsize sedan that offers great fuel economy, the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is certain to be a top choice. The non-hybrid version of the new Accord has been lauded as one of the best sedans on the market thanks to its spacious and refined interior, top safety scores, and generous standard features – and the hybrid version improves on this winning formula with some of the best fuel economy ratings to be found in a hybrid vehicle.

According to Honda, this hybrid will deliver up to 50 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway, for a combined rating of 47 mpg. This makes the Accord Hybrid significantly more efficient than the Toyota Camry Hybrid, which offers only an EPA-estimated 43 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. The Ford Fusion Hybrid also falls short of the Accord’s fuel economy, scoring just 47 mpg in the EPA’s city driving tests.

The secret to the success of the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is its all-new hybrid drivetrain, which it shares with the 2014 Accord Plug-in Hybrid. Utilizing a four-cylinder gasoline engine with a single electric motor and a lightweight lithium-ion battery pack, the Accord Hybrid can run the two motors together or separately in order to optimize fuel economy.

The new Accord Hybrid will feature a few exclusive details that distinguish it from the non-hybrid model. It will have blue accents on the headlights and grille, a deck lid spoiler, lightweight alloy wheels with an exclusive design, and LED running lights. Production of the hybrid Accord began at Honda’s Marysville, Ohio plant on September 6, making it the second Honda hybrid to be built in the U.S.

No price or release date has been announced, but drivers in the Orland Park area can expect the Accord Hybrid to arrive at their local Honda dealership this fall with an MSRP of around $27,000. Drivers interested in experiencing this incredible hybrid can stop by their local Orland Park Honda dealership to take it for a test drive when it arrives later this year.
