- To the naked eye the Honda Accord Hybrid looks just like any other Accord, but that is a good thing. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4, and permanent-magnet synchronous AC motor that is producing 212 HP and mated to a CVT transmission. The Accord Hybrid has it's battery pack mounted under the rear seat so passenger room is plentiful. Find out all the details and see for yourself if the 2019 Honda Hybrid is the better buy!

Raiti: “47 in the city, 47 on the highway.”
Thanos: “Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.”
It’s a great car. I went with the Camry hybrid last year. The Honda is better for everything except for cross country road trips. I’m getting 49mpg on 2k mile road trips at 75-80 mph. Feels like magic.
Why is the honda not better for cross country road trips?
Absolutely nothing wrong with a cvt letting the engine stay at its literal peak numbers. I get it the sound from shifting is what we are conditioned to, but the way the cvt operates is just so much more efficient, and I actually praise honda for not adding fake shifts when you floor it since that just defeats the purpose of the cvt entirely
CVT is a misnomer. It actually has no transmission. Honda calls it an "eCVT", and the "e" means "electrically-coupled." There usually is no mechanical connection at all; the ICE drives a generator, and the car operates on electric drove only.
Huh ❔
Pretty solid for $26k! Seems like you get a lot for that price point
God damn it Joe now I cant unsee the stapler taillights!!
We can't get enough of Raiti's reviews!
Thanks for taking the time to say that and for your awesome support!
3 years ago today!! Can't wait to drive one.
I’m so excited this is my car. I bought the 2019 Honda Accord hybrid touring. It’s white with white leather. It’s awesome very fast and luxurious and I average 44mpg. 👍
Any issues with the white interior?
Wait until you gor problem with elctric issues i have same cars and i have lots of problem
Normally I wouldn't care about a hybrid car, but when I saw Joe doing a review on it, I knew it had to be good lol 👌🔥😍
Wow, that's incredible! I had no idea that the Accord has 3 engines: 1.5t, 2.0, and 2.0t !?!? I normally hate CVT transmission, but they work beautifully on Hybrid powertrains. 👌
Let me tell you a funny story. I work in a medical building and I park in the same parking spot every day. These particular 4 parking spaces in the lot has the same people parking in them which are employees. We don’t want door dings. Anyway, there’s a dentist that parks next to me all the time. He had a 2013 Camry when ‘I had my 2017 Camry. When the redesign came out for the 2019 Camry, I traded my car in for the super white colored hybrid. Two weeks later I noticed there was another 2019 Camry in silver parking next to me. I figured the dentist traded his car in. I finally ran into him in the parking lot one night after work and I complimented him on his new car. He told me after he saw mine, he was totally sold on getting the new one. Only regret he had was he couldn’t get that super white color. They didn’t have one on the lot. I guess we’ve been playing Camry wars. Yes,
I’m obsessed with Camry’s. They’re the best reliable cars on the road today. Keep your videos coming. Love your reviews. I look forward to them.
Also, it is an ecvt with planetary gears, not a traditional belt driven cvt
Honda's current hybrids do not use planetary gearsets. It's an electrical transmission. The engine is powers a generator and the electrical power is sent to a motor connected to the axle, like a diesel-electric locomotive. There's a simple clutch that engages when cruising at highway speeds. There are videos on UA-cam explaining Honda's i-MMD.

Bought one of these in Touring trim a few months back and love it. Actually tried to buy from Tampa Honda -contacted them through CarGurus, but they never replied. Hopefully their service department is good because I live close by.
When you are accelerating you are being driven by electric motor only. Gas engine is just acting as a generator for the electricity. Gas engine is only connected to the wheels in cruising conditions over 40 mph. A little gear will appear in the center of the Power Flow display when this happens.
Love the review. Selling points for me I want the hybrid but don’t want to drive a Prius and love the accord redesign.
Also I think the tail lights would look much better without the bottom protrusion. You covered up both, but I think the top one with the reverse light looks pretty good. It's just the bottom one that makes the taillights look like staples.
Thanks Joe - great review!
Now do yourself a favor and review the 2.0T Touring model. Most of your zonks will disappear. Trust me you will love flooring it in sport mode - nice, smooth and very quick - 0-60 in 5.5 sec. - (quick for a family sedan of course)...
I own the 2.0t Touring and have had many compliments on it. One time one of the workers at the car wash said after cleaning my car , “Wow! This is a New Accord? Very nice!” He then took a long last look at it nodded his head and gave a thumbs up.....He cleans BMWs, Mercedes', Audi's, etc.....that must mean something...
Just the video I was looking for. It’s crazy how many new cars are missing any sort of vent or USB ports in the back row.
You have to at least get the EX for rear vents. I agree that for a car that's so rear-passenger-frieindly these things should be standard. There should be rear readings lights too.
Personally I'd love to have the 2.0t sport with the manual
Same here! It is a blast to drive!
Would definitely be my choice also, if I could convince the wife. Otherwise, at least the 10spd auto isn't a CVT.
WB Wayne Teach your wife how to drive and cherish manual transmission cars too. It makes for a more engaged and more attentive driver ==> Safer Driver ==> Everybody wins.
@@SilverScarletSpider
It isn't a question of her knowing how, she had a 1995 Wrangler 5spd when I met her. Problem is, she curses me everytime she is in a situation that she has to drive my car.
I completely agree with everything you said about manuals though.
#savethemanual
@Beverly Huttinger Yeah I'd never actually buy a brand new car, I would lease one at most.
I do like the tail lights. I call them lobster claws!
You are so very right with that analogy Mark!
7:28 Thank you for specifying Joe😂😂😂
Really though, amazing reviews!👍👍👍
I just don't understand why I can't pull up a digital speedometer in MPH on the digital screen. That just seems like it should be one of the most basic functions of a digital display in the instrument cluster. Especially since the Civic has such cool digital speedometer, it sucks that the Accord and the Insight don't have it. Other than that I love this Accord Hybrid.
The Touring trim levels include a Heads Up Display (HUD) which I believe shows you the digital version of your speed. Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong, or add details.
Hahahaa when you said candy for the kids that was hilarious man there’s never a video that doesn’t make me laugh 😂😂keep up the hard work Joe💵
Thanks for letting share the laughs and reviews with you!
Bought my new base trim 2019 hybrid model a year ago for just under $21k (basically inventory price). 30k miles and never taken it to the shop for anything other than oil changes and a tire rotation. Range varies depending on the weather, driving conditions and your driving style. In the summer, peak range is ~610 miles, and in the winter ~440 miles for me. If you're able to get a good deal like me, than hands down its a steal. Only downside is you will have to pay separately for the spare tire.
Gets seated in a Honda Accord hybrid at red lobster...
Waitress: "welcome to red lobster feel free to try out our new napkin seats sponsored by Honda!"
Power Button Revelations I like what you did there!😎👍🏻
The best hybrid in class is and remains toyota, doesnt matter if its a taxi or a personal i always see way more toyota hybrid than honda, all around the world toyota has hybrid vehicles on sale, in Europe they dont offer Diesel engines anymore, even the new Camry and rav4 are all hybrid, the corolla has a optional 1.2l turbo gas engine
The Accord Hybrid is far better, absolutely no comparison. It is easily the best hybrid in it's class in all categories, especially in touring trim.
WB Wayne I totally agree!
But yet it Does a lower mpg than the Toyota Camry hybrid 2019 . Crazy logic.
@@scaldon2 it does drive nicer.
BULL SHIT!
@@scaldon2
Epa rating for sure, but I would love to see if the real driving mpg results are that far apart. I personally like the Accord better overall than the Camry in all aspects. The Camry does beat the Accord in one thing for sure, the size of the grill. No thanks.
Joe, can you start showing us the window sticker. Also you gotta tell the dealer no one wants a pinstripe on vehicles anymore.
Oh no, now I will be thinking about Red Lobster napkins and staplers when I see a Honda Accord!
just finding this channel. Raiti is hilarious!
In this day and age you gotta have air vents and a 12v socket/usb no matter what
This is true.
Just drove both and I like the Honda a lot better. It’s prettier and you get more for your money!
Getting one after my lease Is over!
the car is fine but cvt is crap((
It's advertised as eCVT, not CVT. Like Toyota's, they are not the same thing. And in Hondas, the difference is even greater.
It really should be called "vCVT," for "virtual" CVT. Because there is nothing physical about it. The engine drive a generator, and an electric motor drives the car. So there is no relationship between the engine's rpms and the wheels'.
Guys if you subscribe you will be addicted to watch Joe everyday. Get ready for that... 😌
I’d say yes, the Accord Hybrid is a better value than the Camry Hybrid. Honda has always built the better driver’s car and engine compared to Toyota’s utilitarian commuters. Whether it be the Civic vs Corolla, Accord vs Camry, Fit vs Yaris, Acura vs Lexus. Just wish Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Mazda could step it up to in terms of 20+ year bulletproof reliability. We’re starting to see more older Hyundai’s and Kia’s surviving 15+ years as opposed to the usual Japanese and American rivals from the early 2000’s.
Very good points and input! Thanks for sharing that!
Raiti's Rides Thank you for making this well informed video. 🇺🇸
@@SilverScarletSpider That is really awesome of you to say!
Seriously!?!? You are very funny, in Europe ive almost never seen any honda hybrid and there is no acura on roads, can you please explain that to me?! “Since honda are drivers cars”
Just looked at the sticker on my car that I keep with my car papers. EPA rated an average of 52 mpg’s with 53 on the highway. I have my info set on my dash that gives me my mpg readings. I kid you not. I average 58 mpg’s on interstate driving to and from work which is 48 miles one way. My car rides like a caddy it’s so smooth and it’s definitely a head turner. People at work com
I constantly get compliments on this car. Yes, I ‘ve driven a Honda and the ride can;t compare to the smoothness of the redesigned Camry.
It's not the CVT it's the motor , because I have the sport 1.5t and doesn't make this sound
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Thank you Joe. :)
Hi.
I always watch your reviews and I really need your advice.
As someone who is over 6'4 ft tall, is the Honda insight a better choice for me?
If not, what is the best and affordable at the same time?
Thanks for the reviews and your time.
All the best.
I think it should work for you!
Third Accord review and i am still pulling towards right
Thanks for being so dedicated.
I like to watch your suv/pickup truck reviews 👍 Good 👍 job & keep it up 😉 😁 👌 🙂 🙏 👌 😉
I’m averaging 58 mpg’s in my better styled 2019 Camry. This is a no brainer. Camry wins in my book.
Wow that is pretty amazing!
I am glad you like it, that is outstanding. I am sure you will enjoy it for as long as you keep it. You can't beat Toyota reliability.
WB Wayne AGREED
You have a lots of videos about cars anymore,I think you should make a video about most handy cars for uber and lyft drivers,people are gonna like it,what you think?
Agree with you, very nice front fascia and ugly taillights.
The opposite of Camry.
Christos Tsalikis you are spot on!
I don't understand the hate for the taillights. They're different, but they work with the car design. They look good. The repeated hate doesn't make any sense to me.
Nice review. I'm not sure if that is a semi flat bottom steering wheel like VW does. Seems good value. I'm 6' and sat in Accord Sport. Thought my right knee wanted to contact console. This car would look better with black interior.
If your going to go with the Hybrid you need to go with the Touring.
I don't like Honda's but 47 Miles per gallon SIGN ME UP! I have never considered a hybrid and was currently car shopping for the next six months I honestly think i might purchase one
Can’t believe it is that inexpensive!
Charles Hillis I totally agree with you!
Randy Jackson yup like LX but with adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, remote start .. the LX doesn’t have remote start
@Randy Jackson It's the hybrid model. If you go for the hybrid touring, it will cost you 36k. Is the 10k upgrade really worth it? I don't think so.
No android auto or Apple play
The Camry hybrid is faster in all 0 to 60, and in merging speeds. In addition, the battery cells will be easier to find and cheaper to replace
I drove both. Went with the 2019 Camry for several reasons and haven’t looked back!
47 mpg... I'm sold
I know right!
Would you choose the 2020 Accord Hybrid over the 2020 Camry Hybrid?
Beautiful engine Honda accord 2019
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
So, 76 huh Joe? I was actually born in 72. Always nice to hear someone is older, isn't it? You don't look it though, just saying.
Thanks Wayne for making me smile!
@@RaitisRides
Any time pal. 🙂
@@wbwayne8887 You are awesome!
I buy a used 19' Honda Accord Hybrid soon.
Dont buy you gone have lots od problem with elctrict i gor lots of probelm
So sorry Joe but this very load no fun 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid just doesn't do it for me. That RPM building CVT😡 is just awful. So sorry Joe. Would love to see a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T Manual🙏🙏 1 day alongside the 2020 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback / Sedan Manual. Thanks Joe.
Those are coming so stay tuned!
@@RaitisRides Alright thanks Joe.
Jay Patel of course my friend!
@@RaitisRides Best frontman Joe Raiti. ♥️♥️🙏🙏🎈🎈👍👍.
There's no laser, Joe.
Sales of these have fallen considerably over the last few years, I can't imagine them being produced beyond the mid-2020s.
This is so true!
I wonder why
@@clarkkentll5490 Mostly because dealers are pushing CUVs for larger profits and there's already hesitancy in releasing another generation of Accord.
Do the hybrids not have different trim levels (w/leather seats, touch screen android/Apple car play), etc.?
They do .. the next level has lots of features, The EX
It's better than, but not over. Possibly under.
Thanks for the grammar save!
@@RaitisRides I wasn't being completely serious, but I'm glad you liked my post. Just exercising my funny bone, as my dad used to say.
@@HansDelbruck53 I totally appreciate it!
When you are in back seat, the driver seat is moved up. How much room is there when the driver is as tall as you?
He didn't move the seat; it's in his 6-footer's driving position.
Beautiful automobile
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Please do a review
On a Lexus IS-F
I need to track one down.
Dude really spent 3 minutes talking about the front bumper
About this car I just can’t stand with the engine noise 😫. Terrible sound. At least they might should instead make it similar to electric car.
Not a fan of ECVT at all🤯
I’d prefer less smoother and get 6-8 transmission speed rather than this horrible sound.
Now, it's a 2020 accord, why it doesn't have Android auto? This is so weird.
а где купе, где полноприводная версия тайп-р?
What trim is this accord ?
Richard Lopez it’s the E trim.
At that price point and equipment, looks like a basic model. The "Red Lobster," seats come with.
So how many miles in full tank?
430-500 depending on how you drive ..11 gallon tank
The way it starts to slope down towards the rear kinda bugs me. Reminds me of a dog with the tail between his legs, or squatting for a number 2.
That's my mom car.
👍🏾
TRUE HOMIE thanks for letting me share it with you!
I learn a lot from u
I feel like the camry hybrid is better and more RELIABLE
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
Yes it is
👍💯video💯👍
Not as efficient as the Malibu Hybrid.
Malibu isn't as stylish and is more poorly made, has a poor resale value, and is being discontinued in five years.
@@travelseatsyellowlab thr Accord and it's chrome brow is hideous. The Sport looks under tired with it's wheels sunken.
Cars dot.com has Malibu Hybrid for about $20K or 1/3rd off MSRP. Good finding any Japanese car made to matching that low of price and residual.
of course Honda 🤟🕶
Who eyes did you see at 12:30? I saw DEZ EYES. :)
Lololololololololololol 47 mpg’s. Geeeesh! The Camry gets almost 60 mpg’s. What’s there to figure out, lol
Is that EPA listed 60?
Epa listed 51/53 per the Toyota site.
WB Wayne wow 😮
No, Camry mpg is higher, another thing i noticed as of recently other than the rear odd tailights, i think the accord seems to b too long or wide. Jus sayin
