That figure puts the battery-electric Accord’s base price, which includes a mandatory $790 destination and handling charge, well above its closest rivals. By comparison, the Ford Fusion S Hybrid stickers at $26,995, while the Toyota Camry LE Hybrid is priced from $26,950.
The Accord Hybrid’s standard specification includes the automaker’s LaneWatch blind spot display system, a rearview camera, LED daytime running lamps, Bluetooth, dual-zone automatic climate control, alloy wheels and a 10-speaker audio system.Â
Two higher-spec models, the $32,695 EX-L and the $35,695 Touring, will also be available.Â
The Accord Hybrid EX-L adds leather seat trim, heated front seats, driver’s seat memory, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and the automaker’s HondaLink cloud-based connectivity system. Topping the range, the Touring brings with the navigation, LED headlamps, adaptive cruise control and a hard drive for the audio system.
Rivals might be priced less, but they won’t match the Accord Hybrid’s 50 mpg city rating. The Accord Hybrid is rated at 50 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway, for a grand total of 47 mpg combined. At 47/47/47 mpg, the Fusion Hybrid is the Accord’s best rival, while the 43/39/41 mpg Camry Hybrid trails its competitors. However, the Fusion Hybrid has come under some fire from owners and critics over allegations that its EPA-rated fuel economy is nearly impossible to achieve. <![CDATA[
