2021 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid receives a mixed review, praised for its handsome styling, engaging driving dynamics, and spacious interior, particularly its class-leading legroom. The reviewer highlights the hybrid system's smooth, EV-like acceleration and the well-tuned suspension, offering a good balance between ride comfort and handling. However, the primary criticism centers on its real-world fuel economy, which significantly underperforms its EPA rating, especially at higher speeds, falling short of competitors like the Camry and Sonata hybrids. The reviewer notes that the hybrid system's serial design, while providing smooth acceleration, contributes to this efficiency deficit. Interior features like the infotainment system are considered good but not class-leading, and rear headroom is noted as a compromise. Despite these drawbacks, the Accord Hybrid is deemed a well-rounded and fun-to-drive option, with the adjustable regen paddles being a standout feature.
