Honda Accord vs Honda Accord Hybrid

Bold Power and Sleek Acceleration

Your commutes are much more enjoyable when you have a supreme blend of power by your side. With the 2021 Honda Accord, you’ll be treated to a 2.0-liter Inline 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger. This motor delivers a thrilling blend of 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque for you to enjoy at every mile.

The 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid is also outfitted with a peppy motor delivering 143 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque to invigorate your morning drives. While both sedans have exciting performances to offer you, you’ll want to choose the gas engine if you want a little extra oomph.

Uninterrupted Commutes

In addition to ample power under the hood, you also need a sedan with impressive efficiency to create a more enjoyable commute.

The Accord Hybrid combines a powerful battery and motor to maximize fuel economy and earn an EPA-estimated 48 city/48 highway MPG with the Hybrid, Hybrid EX, and Hybrid EX-L trim levels.¹ You can also switch into EV Mode to operate exclusively on the battery for the ultimate eco-friendly ride.

Of course, the hybrid motor is going to be efficient, but how does the gas engine stack up? Thanks to Idle-Stop shutting off the engine when you’re sitting as a traffic light or stop sign, the Accord achieves an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway MPG with the LX and EX-L trim levels.¹

Clearly, no matter which Accord you choose, you’ll be able to cruise right past the gas station on your way to work.

Constructed for Maximum Space

Most hybrid models store the battery in the trunk of the car, causing there to be less cargo space or passenger room in the back seats. However, the 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid puts the battery under the rear seats where it doesn’t take away from cabin room at all.

The result is in the following dimensions in both Accord models:

In addition to this spacious cabin, the 2021 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid offer 16.7 cubic feet of trunk space for you to stash your briefcase, golf clubs, or weekend bags in.
