- The Accord hybrid is nice, but realistically, many people are going to purchase the 1.5T. Fortunately for those people, highway mpg might prove to be even stronger than it would be in the hybrid.

#accord #honda #mpg
i hate that they keep making the gas tanks smaller and smaller. I like a long range vehicle. Most of these mid sized cars used to have around 18 gallon tanks.
I have a 2012 Accord with an 18.5 tank. I can drive 500+ miles on a long road trip before the low fuel warning comes up on the dash.
Smaller gas tanks get better acceleration and mpg, its about 6 pounds per gallon of gas plus weight of bigger gas tank. 5 gallons smaller gas tank equals to like 33 pounds of gas and metal saved with smaller tank.
@wl6020 I'll have to disagree about smaller tanks having better mpg. My car has an 18 gallon tank with a 2.4l na engine and I can get 47 mpg on the highway averaging 73 mph. I along with plenty of consumers would gladly take another 100 miles or so per tank over a negligible amount of acceleration.
I agree it’s beginning to become really annoying and irritating 🤬
or get rid of wife and get a younger women...that will be at least 33 pounds plus some😀
Pump Blocking by a Tesla to clean his windows? I hope this doesn't become a trend!!! Thanks for the highway mpg tests Hybrid vs. little turbo. Hybrid great around town and stop and go, but little advantage on loner highway trips.
over 13K on mine long HWY 39.8-40 miles hwy. Haven't had any problems or fuel dilution issues in cold weather I fill every other tank with premium.
There are other tests where the new Accord Hybrid reaches 48mpg on the highway driving 100 mile with an average speed of 70mph and I think you didn't have 70mph average ))
Car&Driver got 39mpg at 75mph with the new accord hybrid on 19" wheels and 42mpg on the 2018 model on 17" wheels. This EX is on 17" wheels. On 19" wheels it won't go over 40mpg - so the same as the hybrid ))
Fuel consumption also depends on outside temperature. You should retest the hybrid model when outside is more than 60F.
I really do not like the trend to big wheels
This should not surprise anyone. Hybrids excel in the city. Their advantages typically disappear on the highway. This tendency is exacerbated in Honda hybrids due to the design of the system.
I'm guessing the fatal flaw is the 7-inch infotainment display when they have 9-inch or even 12-inch displays available in there parts bin? That's the only downside I really had with the car when I rented one for a road trip from DC to South Carolina. Avg'd 37 mpg at 80 mph the whole way according to the vehicle trip so realistically more towards 35 mpg.
Right? Even the base 23k corolla get's a really high resolution 8 inch display.
I have this exact car and the 7inch screen is not a big deal, I don’t like having a big ass TV looking screen. In ideal conditions I can easily get 40mpg sometimes more. If it’s windy it’s 35-37.
I got 53 MPG on my Civic 1.5 Turbo @65MPH test.
Hell yea haha same here with mine. I was getting mid 40s going 75-85mph one recent morning. My ‘22 Civic is incredible. Seeing this comparison makes me feel way better about not having the ‘25 Civic Hybrid. I would only assume it would be similar results to these two Accords they tested
I have a accord exl (hybrid). I hate the active cruise control it loves to brake tap. Merges, hills or someone ahead brakes. It never coasts it always taps the brakes. And if someone is following it will brake check them.
It’s keeping the distance that’s what’s it made to do people play with there phones a lot keeps them alert
You can adjust it so it and make it work better for you. It can be annoying but once you figure it out you get used to it.
@@dontworryaboutwhoiam456 no.
I know how to use the damn car. Its twitchy no matter how you set it. Its fighting to maintain speed and more importantly distance.
Charlie, As you note, oversized wheels and over-wide tires are the enemy of fuel efficiency. Going forward, will there be an AWD Accord Hybrid next spring when the new Camry comes out?
My guess on the Accord's 'fatal' flaw is the appalling rear seat head room which falls so far short of the promises made by the generous rear leg room. 🤔
I think Hondas made it very clear none of their sedans will have AWD. If you want that they tell you to just get a crv
When you drive more than 80mph, mpg goes 20-24 mpg. Crazy low since power is only 1.5T
I drove from Vegas to Bakersfield doing 80 and averaged 39mpg in this exact same car I have.
I'm getting 26mpg on my 23 ex accord. And econ on . Something must be wrong with mine
The touring hybrid has 19 inch wheels the base has 17 inch big difference
I hate that small screen in the base model.
Why does mine only says 16.5 mpg..😮
What type of fuel do you suggest for this vehicle ? I bought the 2024 model where in the manual it says 87 or higher but in the official Honda website it has been changed to recommended 91. I am confused what to follow now
87 is totally fine
I have the 2023 EX and the sales rep said 87 as I saw the same thing you did and was confused. I run 89 sometimes.
37mpg in the hybrid ive seen so many videos with people over 40 and some near 50 with the hybrid weird
Was this filmed in San Diego, CA?
Orange county down into San Diego county.
Where is your review of this car? I've searched high and low and am finding nothing but the hybrid!
He usually releases it a couple days after
As David mentioned, it’s coming out in a few days. I think next Tuesday. Overall a positive review.
You will get much better hwy mpg when more cars are on the road
no
You’re right, and I do try to stay far enough back to mitigate drafting.
@@DailyMotor when im driving worth other people I can get 40mpg going 80mph in my altima. If I'm alone its like 37. I've gotten around 45mpg sleep going 70-80 to the jersey shore from nyc
So is the Touring worth the extra cost? since there is a $8,000 difference between EX and Touring
They feel like 2 different cars. The Touring is like an everyman entry luxury sedan. The EX is like a nice rental car.
@@DailyMotor they feel that different?
Yes. And that's not to say it's a bad rental car, I quite like it. And it still rides well and is quiet inside. But between the seating materials, smell, steering wheel, and tech, they feel very different.
@@simonscowled9925
Wow 8k difference. You will never get that money back when its time to sell it.
@@wl6020 I don't sell my cars
Why not just go to another pump? Why is a Tesla at a gas pump?
2200 rpm at 72 mph, thats about right with that tiny 1.5 liter engine. No low end torque. 40 mpg is great. I would take the 18+ camry 4 cylinder over this since its exactly the same mpg, more power, and n/a so dont have to deal with turbo problems down the line
my 2014 Malibu 2.5L (NA) with a 6speed sits at about 2200 at 80mph. Gearing definitely helps
@@raiderfly my 2005 chevy classic, which is same as a 97-03 malibu, runs 2200 at 60mph, with the 4 speed auto. 4 cylinder
@@wl6020 My best friend drove one of those. Dunno why considering it was pretty slow, but it felt quick when you were driving it. Interior was falling apart but other than that it was alrigjt
@@raiderfly yeah i would definitely love to have a 5th gear.
Having the CVT helps with the low rpms. I feel like that’s quite impressive given the car I current drive is over 4x the displacement and sits at exactly 2000rpm at 90mph or 1500rpm at 70rpm. I’m honestly curious if a V8 sports car with a CVT could run like 1200rpm at 70mph lol
No way. What’s the point of the hybrid then?
That question is often asked about Honda's compromised hybrid approach.
more mpg in the city only.
I own a hybrid. In the city and even mixed highway, I get 57MPG.
the point of a hybrid is to get better mpg in city driving
Beware of these engines oil contamination problems.
You’re living in the past
@@Clam73 Im not have you not seen the reports on turbo+direct injection oil contamination???
Yes, Honda has definitely NOT fixed that oil dilution issue in the current 23 & 24 accord with the 1.5 turbo. Been going on since 2017 & honda STILL hasn't "fixed" this issue. Do better honda for your loyal customers
The city mileage our ex gets in the city is 21.3 per gallon. As bad as a pick up truck or full size SUV! Horrible ! I don’t recommend it! 👎.
What year? I have this exact car and it gets 27-28 city
Stop spreading false BS🤦🏻♀️ This car doesn’t get 21mpg in the city. If it did there would be a class action lawsuit
I test-drove the 2024 Accord gas engine at 55 mph in ECON mode, and easily obtained over 41 miles per gallon. At 55, in your commute on slower roads, you will probably get over 45 mpg. The hybrid is useless and overpriced, unless you live in NYC.
