Any time you get a hybrid vehicle, there is a promise of great mileage. To achieve this, the Hybrid runs on a two-motor hybrid engine, which is a 2.0L, L4 engine with an E-CVT. This means it has direct drive gearing instead of your typical transmission. There is also regenerative braking to allow a transfer of kinetic energy into the battery that occurs while braking.

The Accord has an EV Mode, which allows you to operate exclusively from the battery and electric motor in certain driving conditions. There are also Deceleration Selectors that help with a smooth transition of speed when you want to slow down.

To monitor the energy flow of your hybrid, the Accord has a high-resolution, touch-screen Energy Management System Display. It shows a real-time update of the transfer of energy between the motor and engine.

Versatility

The 2018 Honda Accord offers lots of versatility to its drivers with a variety of customizable features. The seven-inch driver interface allows you to customize your digital in-dash display so that you can choose what features to see and which to hide. The seats are also twelve-way power adjustable seats so that you can have your chair adjusted to the perfect position for your comfort. There are two saveable positions so you do not have to worry about losing the perfect settings when someone else sits in the driver seat.

For those hot or cold days, there is dual-zone automatic climate control that helps keep everyone in the vehicle at a comfortable temperature. The seats have heating and ventilating to keep you extra comfortable.

The seating in the Accord is also very versatile. With 60/40 split second-row seating, you can increase the 16.7 cubic feet of storage space in the trunk. Flip down the second-row seats to fit even more into your vehicle.
