Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2023
- We tested the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid in Touring trim. We took it on a road test to find out the real world MPG. We also do a deep dive into the tech, what it's like to drive and how it handles. Is this 11th gen Accord the hybrid sedan to beat?

One week into my 2023 Accord hybrid touring, driving economically and consistently getting 50+ mpg. So, love it so far!
Hi which trim did you get?
@@huakunguo2999 read his comment again slowly...
@@marksimonds13 😂😂😂😂

Mostly city?
It was tempting to get the Touring, but the 19" wheels (less mpg and louder road noise) and other goodies didn't justify the extra $4.5K. I got the EX-L Hybrid and getting around 48-50 mpg. Best decision ever.
Glad you’re enjoying it
@@revmatchtv I am. I miss my V6 ‘17 Accord, but the 20-22 mpg was abysmal.
I tried to get the EX-L for the same reason. I ended up with a beautiful Sport L and the only I don’t like are the 19” wheels. Thinking about buying a set of EX-L take offs or going aftermarket. I love this car.
@@jonerwin1697 If you do go aftermarket, just make sure it's the same tire as the EX-L model. The tire is suited for maximum fuel efficiency. I think its the Hankook Kinergy GT.
@@MikedaLuffy90 yes, i looked up the tire and it was the Hankook
I'm currently getting 47.5 mpg on my 2023 Accord Hybrid Touring model. Mostly city driving right now. For me, that is outstanding. My previous car, a 2004 Lexus only got 26 mpg on the highway. So I'm pretty much getting twice the range!
Wow thats awesome!! I’m excited to get my touring soon to experience that amazing mpg. What are your thoughts on the touring trim?? I initially thought about getting the EX-L but I couldn’t stand the wheels on that trim 😅
are you getting that with eco mode or normal mode?
@@destroyerofsimps6574 Normal mode. I almost never switch to economy mode.
Just completed a 250 mile round trip in my EX-L. 65-75 mph highway into the mountains of Virginia. Plenty of trucks hogging the grades. 49.3 mpg up, 55.2 mpg back down. ECO mode and ACC. Let the car do the work.
I personally love the conservative styling. That and fit & finish is top notch. Plus 40mpg from a vehicle this size is fantastic. 25-30 more horsepower and Honda would have gotten an A+
The materials and build quality are excellent
it easily gets 50+ mpg in city driving and conservative highway driving.
Thanks 👍😊
It really sucks it’s so fugly. 😢
I bought one anyway. 60 mpg. ⛽️
I’m currently between this Accord Touring and the Integra Aspec Tech. It’s mostly mpg vs looks.
I just got a 24 Accord Touring and I’m getting used to it but Iove it. It’s the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven. It’s a top-notch car that I’m enjoying more & more as i drive it and learn it.
I just got the 23 Sport couple days ago. I’m at 600 miles so far averaging 43MPG across that 600 so I’m content with that.
Not bad at all
40mpg isn’t all that bad for a car that size but Honda hybrids always seem to disappoint with MPG. They just announced a new PHEV CR-V for the global market, hopefully we’ll get that powertrain in this accord in a few years to try out!
I'd love to see a PHEV version for sure.
I have had the Touring (19" wheels and tires) for 1300 miles. Am currently at 43.4 in about a 50/50 mix of city and rural / highway. Took deliver on 3/1 and it is still pretty cold in WI. As the weather has warmed and the engine has broken in, it has just been constantly improving. I drive almost exclusively in Eco mode and don't push it hard. I don't do any crazy hyper-miler stuff, but do a lot of regenerative braking with the paddles. Why not? It'll be quite a while before I need brake pads. I did not want the bigger wheel and tires, but am a sucker for a better audio system.
You’ll get better efficiency in the lower trim, but yes, the Bose system is fantastic.
I need to start using the regen braking with the paddles more. But even when not I still get 41 mixed driving normally and if I baby it in eco mode 42-45 mixed with the Touring.
How's your mileage now that it's midsummer?
@@jonm3255 Timely question. We took a 350 mile trip yesterday. About 1/3 of it was in a rather hilly part of SW WI, NW IL. 50 miles of it were at 75mph. Most of rest of the trip was at 60. Got 49.7mpg according to trip computer in car. I will admit, weather conditions were favorable - 70-78F and light to moderate winds. After 3000 miles since new, we are at 45.8mpg overall. I'm impressed.
That blue color does it for me!
It looks nice in bright light. It’s pretty dark when it’s in a shady spot
Averaging 52.6 for last 1000 miles. Have a sport.
Nice. Is it with 19in wheels?
It's all in the way you drive. I've had my EX-L for about three weeks and my mpg is 44.9.
What color is that?
I think it's important to note that you will get better gas mileage if you do not drive the trims with the 19" wheels, such as the touring. The trim level I recommend is the EX-L which offers the hybrid powertrain and the 17" wheels for an EPA rating of 51 city / 44 highway / 48 combined.
You are bang-on! I've got the EX-L, and I'm getting over 50mpg in mixed driving.
50mpg is pretty darn good
Agree 100% - also I've seen where the mpg gets better as the car puts on more miles. Not sure how accurate a mpg test (that some of these reviewers conduct) will be on a car that has less than 500 miles on the odometer.
I have not been getting the best mpg from Honda accord touring, I just about hit over 1,000 miles. My mpg is ranges at around 35.9. Over all great car.
has your mpg improved? i'm thinking of getting the touring but i do want to get over 40 mpg minimum.
@@destroyerofsimps6574it depends on weather
I hate that undercut trend automakers use at the shoulder. It screws up the form if just thrown there to cover marketing trends. The form deserved to be relatively smooth all the way around.
How is 39.7 only 1mpg less than 44? That is almost 5 mpg lower...
Does the 1.5 liter turbo version have same comfort and quietness to I'm wondering?
the 1.5T version is actually a little more comfortable because the smaller wheels allow more give for the suspension, though only the touring, which is a hybrid, has extra sound deadening on the bottom.
U kids buy cars without even knowing what the car has. Do ur homework. Geeze.
Can you test the new CRV hybrid?
Yes - I will
@@revmatchtv please way which is better or similar performance. My lease in my Subaru Crosstrek ends in Jan 2025. I commute highway driving 120km round trip. Deciding what vehicle to look at.
No becaue this was an Accord test...
I’m barely getting 41-42 no matter how I drive. It’s driving me nuts why everyone’s getting way better
When I had my new Touring back to the dealer, they mentioned some kind of recall or technical service bulletin. Something about "updating the computer"? Not sure if this was engine related or electronics related. Check with your local dealer. It's worth a shot.
That’s because your probably being honest. 😊
@@petertrout7866 Yeah Peter Trout, I must have been lying because it is now 46.3 (as opposed to 43.4 reported 3 months ago) since delivery (3200 miles) and 47.8 in the last 2500 miles. Wish I could send you pictures of my instrument panel to prove it.
@@stevehoppenjan every major reviewer said they get less the claimed. I believe them. Normal when I get a new car and the experience I get is pretty darn close to what reliable reviewers claim. It’s only a matter of time before one of my friends buy this then I’ll bet there experience will be similar to the reviewers than your experience. Time will tell. By the way when I bought my 2020 Honda accord the gas mileage experience the reviewers were spot on with my experience. Stop lying.
Jeez.. markups on Prius 😬 why would anyone do that
I don’t pay markup for a volume car. Totally not worth it!
I get 60-62mpg avg on 24 EXL, this is driving under 60mph and off highways. Now with the weather dropping cold I get 55mpg, which is still amazing. The sport and touring dont make sens in this car as you lose 10+ mpg over stupid wheels and tires
Anything u say
@@MrMuchachos75Thats right, illegal immigrant.
I am getting 46.5 on my 2021 model
Only when drunk and reading the numbers upside down
His comments about the braking system on this car don't sound very good especially about being able to push the brake pedal al the wayto the floor.
It’s a brake by wire system so the pedal is not mechanically connected to the brake system. Many manufacturers are moving to this now and you lose some brake feel and when you’re stopped you can push the pedal to the floor. It feels a bit odd, but it allows Honda to adjust the brake pressure for higher stopping force under emergency braking while allowing for less pedal pressure. Ultimately it’s a safety feature, but yes, it feels a bit odd. I think a lot of people probably won’t notice.
He said that when it was stopped. It will not do that while driving, unless you want to plant your forehead on the steering wheel.
The car not only uses brake-by-wire, it uses "blended" braking as well. "Brake-by-wire" means that the pedal drives an input to the computer. "Blended" means that the computer will apply as much regen braking as it can (or is safe) before the friction brakes are applied. But it also has to provide the feedback to the brake pedal that matches the braking force.
If you try to push the pedal all the way to the floor while driving, you will skid to a stop long before reaching the floor. Just like you expect. If you do it while stopped, the system has no way to know when to stop your foot. But you do have to push hard to get it there. It really is a non-issue, and should not have been mentioned.
Two side-notes about this braking system. Most hybrids get criticized for having "grabby" brakes, especially at low speeds. That's because the blending rates vary drastically as the effectiveness of regen diminishes with speed, and usually cuts out around 5 to 7 mph. Hondas have the best system in the industry, and do not have this problem.
But it can get so bad that most Battery EVs, which have more powerful regen brakes, don't even try to use blended braking. Regen is applied as you release the accelerator, and friction is applied as you press the brake pedal. In other words, the driver is responsible for the blending. As an (originally) unintended consequence, this has come to be known as "one-pedal driving," and is now considered to be a feature rather than the flaw of not being able to blend the two automatically.
About the 91 octane: The 2018-2022 1.5L Turbos have had some issues with cylinder-head gaskets, and one possible cause is early detonation. I don't know that that is the cause, but it is possible. While there have been other fixes applied that I know little about, using 91 octane instead of 87 will reduce that possibility. Honda has always been conservative about such things, so the *_recommendation_* (not requirement) to use 91 could help. The hybrids use a completely different engine, and to my knowledge have not had this problem.
@@revmatchtv OK - thank you for the additional info about brake-by-wire systems 👍
"trunk is probably one of the biggest in a class" vert professional review
Steering feel better than a Mazda?… Interesting, considering that was Mazda’s thing.
Mazda has very very good steering too.
I’m sure everyone’s prob just about doubling their mpgs with this purchase. That in itself is fantastic, but is it worth a new car loan at current rates? Nah. Just not worth the savings in gas, which has gone up again.
Still, I’d get the touring for the tech. The difference in economy is still worth it.
Interest rates are up, but I suspect (but don’t know) that dealer markups will be more rare with the Accord since it’s a high volume seller. The audio system in the Touring is fantastic imho.
@@revmatchtv I feel it would be best to wait until the 2024 model appears. Give it some time to see how it plays out. A lease or winter sale would be a great time for one. I did drive a sport and it was okay, but I’d much prefer a CRV. They just need to update it with what the Accord has. If they could just give it a HUD, ventilated seats, full digital, that 12” and full LEDs…that would be fantastic.
Honda does currently offer interest rates at 3.9% for the Accord, which is a lot better than most banks and credit unions at the moment
@@koven1497 what are the winter sales like
A lot of people do not know how to drive these cars. Driving it like any other car is a waste of your time. Learn how to drive it properly.
The problems I find with the 2023-2024 Honda Accord Hybrid: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio in vehicles sold in the USA (Available in Canada, If you can do it in Canada why not the US) . If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these deficiencies will be resolved. The lack of a spare tire is fatal in my opinion based on problems I encountered in the past.
this new accord is super ugly. Its mid 2023 and I don't see many of these on the road compared to rav4s, camrys, and CRVs
Dopa - All those cars have been on the road much longer than the redesigned Accord. That would be expected.
My V6 Accord gets 40 on the highway
The mileage of this car isn’t impressive to say the least
The power is horrendous. But I will admit the exterior styling is vastly improved over the UGLY DUCKLING 10th Gen 🤣🤣
Thanks for the insight
That’s ONLY highway, bet your v6 barely gets 29!combined.
@Jay man I seriously doubt it gets 40 highway either. It was never EPA rated anywhere near that number. Down hill, with a tailwind or if a manual slipping it into neutral going down hills maybe.
@@Jayyyyy93 if I only do highway driving which is exactly what the car is driven. I do average 28-34 per tank. 👀
@@jdm1039 Honda uses cylinder deactivation in V6 models.. so yes it really is attainable.(3 cylinder on hwy) My car was rated for 34 hwy on the sticker. But I always seem to beat that mileage
