2025 Honda Accord Hybrid - Commuting with Honda's Fuel-sipping Flagship Sedan

[@KirkKreifels]

Two Updates on the Accord Hybrid: 1 - Battery guage is always up on the far left of the MID. I dismissed it as engine temp for a week, then realized it’s the hybrid battery guage haha. 2 - I didn’t have to run the AC this morning. The engine didn’t have run as much and the car would coast in EV up to around 50 MPH. As a result I saw 52+ MPG

[@jeretso]

Road noise hurts my ears. 19 inch rims sounds noisy. I prefer the base rims . Quiet is luxury.

[@matthewweber1832]

Kirk, thanks for another informative video! I know the Camry is and always has been the Accord’s main rival, but what about the Sonata, which was heavily refreshed for 2024? For your money, would you get an Accord Hybrid Touring (fully loaded) or a Sonata Hybrid Limited (fully loaded), and why?

[@redcapote4760]

I owned a 2020 Accord LX. I then test drove a 2024 Accord EX-L Hybrid. My reaction was wow, it was smoother, quieter, and even more fuel efficient. The resale value on my 2020 Accord LX was awesome, and this thing was even better. I ended up getting a 2024 Pilot, because I wanted an SUV more than I wanted to make the smartest choice, but the Accord Hybrids are a very, very smart choice for your wallet. When I see my mpg's on the Pilot, I miss the heck out of my Accord that got 38 mpg highway at 80 mph, but there was some upcoming need for an SUV in my life, so I went with it. For $33k on the EX-L Hybrid, you are getting a LOT of car for the money.

[@ZACH_95_]

Enjoy that smooth v6!

[@Splashman24]

The reason the engine is on more frequently is because you are continually driving in Sport mode. In both Econ and Normal, the engine will run much less. I drive in Econ 100 of the time and have no trouble accelerating and average slightly above 50mpg with the 23 Touring. Also,the battery charge is always on the far left. You can game the hybrid system when in the other modes as you can pulse and glide and other ways to maximize your time in EV mode. I'm in Tampa and consistently achieve the 50 mpg with AC running in Econ mode.

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks! I drove in normal mode and it did like to coast in EV up to around 45mph. However the gas pedal is so dull in normal and eco that you have to floor it to move the car haha.

[@jonm3255]

We had a Camry as a rental for a week and liked it a lot, high 40's mileage around Portland and even up and down Mt Hood. Then test drove an Accord Touring and liked it better for comfort and interior materials, build quality and stereo (was not a JBL in the Camry and was Bose in Accord). Not enough time to do a mileage test. Then test drove the Civic hybrid hatch Sport Touring and ended up getting it. Road noise is more than Accord but acceleration, sporty dynamics, mpg, and utility of the hatch won out. Also the Civic feels like you sit higher in the vehicle, and you look out over the dash. The Accord you feel like you're down in the vehicle, looking at the dash. The lower cost of the Civic was another benefit. Honestly I am finding the Civic seat bottoms a little on the hard side, but overall happy with the choice. Suburban driving is bouncing around 50 mpg in Ohio temperatures so that is living up to my expectations.

[@KirkKreifels]

Yes you can sit really low in the Accord. I like that personally. The Civic hybrid is way more fun to drive than the Accord hybrid. Good choice.

I’m looking at the same exact year and model. Only been to two dealerships so far but they only had one 2024 no 2025. If you don’t mind asking him, can you ask what kind of warranty he got? This will be my 1st “brand new” car that’s also a hybrid so I plan on getting a warranty. About 10 years ago a dealer at Toyota literally added on a $2,300 warranty without my permission. I’m not sure if it was a good warranty or not but I ended up making him remove it because of how shady he went about the whole thing.

[@a32tl]

@@shaun5047 He has been retired for a while and honestly, doesn’t drive more than about 6k or 7k miles per year. We did not buy an extended warranty. So for now, it’s just the factory warranty. The battery is warranted for 8 years or 100k miles. Bumper to bumper is 3 years/36k miles. Powertrain is somewhere in between.

[@shaun5047]

@ sorry what exactly is a “factory warranty”? If something goes wrong with the engine in the next 3 years will this warranty cover it? Normally for Hondas I wouldn’t really care for a warranty because they’re fairly easy to fix but I assume it’s going be much different for a hybrid. lol There’s an awesome “mom & pop” auto shop that I’ve used for years but I doubt they’ll be able to work on this upcoming car. Btw Thank You for the reply.

Not having a spare is a little concerning. If your tire blows out and you can’t fix the tire with the inflation kit you’re stranded if you in the middle of nowhere.

[@chrissetina1107]

Yep, You'd have to purchase one and try to make it fit. I wonder if there's even a jack in these anymore.

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

No spare is a deal breaker, but then my first car came with a crank starter, Lol!😂

[@ytj22]

Most of the major manufacturers offer roadside assistance for the duration of the comprehensive warranty, that'll buy you some time.

[@kceeman]

I have a 2024 Honda accord sport hybrid L. Honda swindled me to get the tire package. I ran over an accident site and caught a nail in the tire. I got a patch put in the tire because my local Honda dealership could not make an appointment for me until the end of the week. Well that decision basically canceled out getting a new tire because the tire essentially was fixed. So Honda wouldn’t fix it. So the lesson here is if you have a tire that is leaking air. Don’t patch it up…. (Which is ridiculous)

[@TSteel34]

This Accord platform is a lot more appealing to me vs the Toyota hybrids. Like you said, refinement has value for some people over pure efficiency. I plan to upgrade from my 2015 Crosstour in a few years and in a dream world, they'd build a new Crosstour based on the current Accord, add the rear axle motor for AWD, and maybe bump power output slightly. Then they'd have a clear competitor to the Crown Signia. I just can't see myself dealing with the obnoxiously loud 4th gen Toyota hybrid system for a decade...

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

Hi Kirk! You’ve been one of my go to Honda reviewers. Nice to see you still going strong!

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks mate!

[@nick4410]

Yeah you touched on my biggest issue with the newer Accords, which is how they split the trims up. I really think the accord would benefit from a cheaper, more base-level hybrid that focuses a bit more on fuel economy and/comfort. Also AWD. Delegating the hybrids exclusively to their top trims with the bigger wheels and everything just isn’t all that appealing with the competition offering better packages for the same or less money. Aside from that though it does really seem like a great car. I’m keeping my eye out for quieter, smoother sedans with better MPG than my current rough & noisy old ass Accord. I’ve been cross shopping used Avalons, ES, Camry, Accord etc and this new a accord is definitely a contender

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

13:49 This is the important part that seperates Honda from Toyota. To where it really is a matter of what one prefers. Honda uses clutch packs but Toyota has a direct linkage (i.e MG1+MG2). Toyota is more responsive but it's jerkier. Honda may not feel as powerful but is definitely smoother.

[@kencai6803]

I think the real reason that makes people feel ugly is because of the front lip design. In terms of overall design this new Accord is actually good. But the current design just like if a person missing a jaw, you would just feel is missing something. Funny thing is the GAC Honda in China have released a new front bumper design of this Accord just a few days ago, the current one is so ugly they requested Honda HQ to get a new design of it lol

[@larrybowers8323]

Coincidentally I was debating all three. I ended up with the K5, I think it wins on looks and price. I also believe it does the two-display the best. AWD is expected at this point in time and Honda wouldn't deliver it. I think interior is beautiful in the Honda, but maybe a pain to keep clean, the K5 has mostly matte surfaces, with some piano black accents. Overall I think all three are good in their own different ways. Best advice is to drive all three and see which one gets you to say yes.

Good review. You answered a couple questions I had wondered about, such as highway power and real world fuel economy. Any feeling how this would do in extremely cold weather of the northern plains? Would the engine run constantly even in city driving, and can its clutch even connect the engine if needed at lower speeds? I still can't believe its already the 3rd model year for this gen Accord. With an SE package already showing up and discounted pricing, this doesn't bode well for 3rd thru 5th year sales. I thought Honda would have corrected the mistakes faster than they have: still too-black and decontented interior for their flagship, color choices (inside and out), and the blandness of the exterior - which is maybe as simple as a fog lights option and some body color painted trim at the bottom lip.

[@KirkKreifels]

It would suffer mpg in cold climates probably 20-30% mpg worse. Engine can only assist directly to the wheels at highway speeds 55+ I'd say

[@hjlnbi]

@@KirkKreifels What about very hot weather? Does the engine run all the time and consume fuel?

[@Blank00]

NPCs aren’t the drivers of this Accord. The real NPCs are the ones who do not even consider the Accord because apparently to them, the bland exterior matters more than an interior with superb ergonomics and a refined and comfortable driving experience. And to those who say it’s because Honda got rid of the 2.0T, guess what? Toyota got rid of the V6 Camry and they are not replacing that with a 2.4t or a hybrid Max.

[@courtneypuzzo2502]

Japanese cars have always been more fuel efficient than European/American cars due to the fact that Japan has to import most of its oil also a Japanese car is generally lighter than an American car for ex a 1992 Honda Accord EX is 2923 LBs while an Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais is 3,047 LBs and there's several ins length difference an accord at the time was 185-187 in long while the Olds Calais was 194 in 16 1/5 ft long granted the Cutlass had gotten smaller in 1977 and 1985 as most American cars did and eventually transitioned to front wheel drive and finished production July 2nd 1999

You hate the price? This isn't a Hyundai Elantra in 2006, dude.

[@realtalk5931]

@ that’s what I said pal. We got a problem????

[@redcapote4760]

@@realtalk5931 You have a reality problem, goofynuts. And you look stupid for talking to me like that, like you're going to invite me outside to fight. Anyhow, what did you want the price to be for a full size hybrid sedan with leather?

[@alengreen589]

this car needs urgently a design update, the exterior and interior looks so boring.

[@chillnndc]

This generation of Accord is ugly as sin. HONDA/Acura is missing the market of not offering more models that are Hybrids as well

[@67keyakaren68]

Pretty sure that’s a ford taurus

[@drewski1441]

Design resembles a late 80's Ford Taurus 😒

[@Unchainedmaple888]

Literal GTA NPC car lmao

[@peruvianheat2053]

As someone who drives this car I agree. It's a nice smooth ride though, nothing more.

[@Hello123-b7l]

ngl i actually really like the look of this gen accord. Way better than the last gen imo.

[@ZACH_95_]

It’s a perfect highway cruiser. Even the older 2.0t in the old gen was a npc car, it was just quick. But it had no character. Wasn’t fun in any other way of just being quick. When they took the v6 out and got rid of the coupe in 2017 it went down hill. I had a ‘17 coupe v6 manual. I miss that car so much. That was a beautiful car. And again yes the 2.0t was quick but it just didn’t have any character for me.

[@fifasf3379]

The interior is nice …. Annnnd that’s about it lol. Exterior is boring and has lack of features of at her manufactures . If you love this it’s because you’re just a loyal Honda person . And I own a 2020 accord 2.0t and am looking at other manufacturers that offer more for the money ..

[@67keyakaren68]

interior is the same as every honda and some acuras

[@michaelnash2972]

Honda drew inspiration from Volkswagen and Audi’s designs. While the execution could have been improved, I believe this design will age better than the previous generation.

[@Blank00]

@@67keyakaren68there’s nothing wrong with that if it’s a great interior architecture to begin with, and it is a great architecture because it is more ergonomical than the interiors that implement that capacitive or bake-in crap such as latest interiors from Hyundai/Kia, Subaru, VW, and Nissan.

[@Blank00]

Why is the exterior more important than the interior? The driver will interact with the interior more than they will with the exterior.

[@michaelnash2972]

@@Blank00 I bought the Civic because I hated the ergonomics on the Camry. Honda’s interiors feel like Volkswagens from the past. Simple, well thought out, free of gimmicks, and well built.

[@josemanuelruiz2036]

Honda should change the front end and add a V6.

[@VOLVO2LUV]

HEY

I could barely get pregnant in that thing 🫃

Excellent review!
