- I do not work for any dealership or Honda in any way. I bought this car with my own money and by my own choice. And I intend on giving an unbiased and honest opinion on my experience and ownership of this 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport. This is my first HYBRID vehicle. 40,000 miles later so far so good. I bought this car brand new from a Honda dealership with 7 miles. Subscribe to see my journey with this car. I will have all maintenance done in a timely fashion and do the oil before every 5k miles, fluid and filter changes etc.

The Accord hybrid is an extremely practical car. It has less mechnical parts than a regular gas engined car. No starter motor, no alternator, no fan or serpentine belts, no conventional transmission (transmission is just two electric motors and a clutch). Most of the complexity is in the engine and drivetrain management software.
In Europe new hybrid Civic (same or very similar powertrain) has 5 years/300K km warranty for petrol motor, so Honda feels confident regarding this part.
I got a 2021 EX-L accord hybrid two years ago. It’s been an extremely reliable car. About to hit 40k miles. Definitely faster than the 1.5t version, which I was surprised. Currently getting 41mpg. Drive a lot for work.
I bought mine last March with 3 miles on it, it's over 46k miles now. The lane keeping doesn't use the radar in the grill, it uses the camera in the windshield. I love the car, it's a good blend of performance and efficiency. The only problems I've had were a cracked windshield, and a couple flat tires, those are of course a product of road hazards, and not mechanical problems. Mine is the same color as yours, (sonic grey pearl.) It's funny that 95% of the comments I get about the car are complements on the color, nobody seems to care or notice that it's a hybrid sport, unless they hear you slow rolling.
The color is one of the best out in my opinion. They did a great job on the paint.
Lol I bought a 2019 accord sport - gave it to my ex but most of the compliments were the same as you say-the color is beautiful-its electric blue- loved it so I'm now looking for another one and I'm considering a hybrid. Only thing that scares me is the battery situation so far-wish I knew of a company that would cover it with an extended warranty.
Not sure if anyone as said this yet, but if you hold the distance button down when adaptive cruise is on but not activated, it switches to normal cruise mode instead of adaptive.
I have a 2018 Accord Hybrid. I have 38,000 miles on it. In Minnesota through winter and summer, my average is about 40 mpg. It does better in city driving, usually 50+ mpg, suburban and rural drive in warmer weather driving about 45-47 mpg. Very practical car for Minnesota winter driving as the engine starts with with a motor generator on the high voltage battery which is probably 10-20x more powerful than a 12 volt starter motor.
I'm not sponsored by Honda or doing anything with any dealerships or any business related to cars or anything online, yet 😁🤑, I WISH. I'm just sharing my journey on owning this car. This is my first new car purchase and first hybrid car I've ever owned. I've owned a few dozen cars in my life and I'm really into cars be honest but never really thought I'd buy a hybrid or a Honda. But when it comes to reliability, the Honda brand of cars always seems to have great credibility for their longevity. Plus with gas prices and how much I drive, I figured LET'S GIVE THIS HYBRID A TRY. I took a leap of faith one might say. So I thought I'd share my journey and give my honest opinion about how this 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport has been. At 40k+ miles it has been running and driving great. Not the fastest car I've had but I bought it more for gas saving and reliability. Subscribe and stay tuned.
I got this same exact car sir, 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid sport, go it 2nd week of December. I have refilled my tank twice and I am getting around 38-39 MPG both tank refills I did. I did say I drove about 70% local and 30% highway so far. 800 miles in a month LOL, nothing compare to your pace ahah. But keep posting these updates man, I appreciate it, glad to know u had not real issues, other than the frost, I am in Florida so thankfully I never have to go through that.
This car likes warmer climate so I think being in Florida the car will preform a lot better. And yes I put miles on very fast so I'll keep posting my experience and mileage. I'm glad I can be of some insight/ help to some. I kinda figured it might be useful to others knowing what I experience thru putting on miles quickly. Plus I have no incentives to lie or fabric my experience. I bought this with my own money and nobody is sponsoring or giving me any perks or benefits. So this will be my honest experience with this car.
I have the same car for my daughter. No issues too, 40 mpg 👍
My 22 hybrid is at 54k miles now. Not a single issue, oil change and go. No complaints like is like new.
Great video, glad to hear you're liking the car. Picked up a 2023 Sport Hybrid in white and love it, wishing you the best with yours.
Thanks
I got about 6000 on mine and in the last week or two it’s gone from high 39 to 41 mpg average since it left the factory two months ago
I have the exact same car , just got it 3 weeks ago. Already at 1500 miles. It had 7 miles on it when I bought it off the showroom
Great minds think alike 😁
Driving easy, my 2021 Accord 2T auto can get up to 45mpg. (60 mph, highway) That said, driving aggressively can bring mileage down to 25 mpg. (average) That low figure is no worse than my previous 2018 Rav 4 average.
I notice that at speeds 60 mph and below I seem to achieve 40+ mpg. But I put most of my miles on 70mph highways. So my mpg tends to suffer a little above 60mph. I think the sweet spot for gas mileage on the Honda Accord is between 0-60mph. But that's just my opinion. Driving styles and weather conditions will definitely cause variations.
You got a good one man... Not digging the design of the new model looks too domestic looiking almost as if they took a step backwards in design. That's just me though.
That's exactly what I thought about the 2023, I like the design of mine and got it at the right time. I agree with what you say.
You can probably find a warmer of some type to keep the ice off. Thats strange the ice stops cruise control from working.
I found an actual work around thru a person commenting on here, and they told me to just hold the button that works the following distance on cruise control, and then it will activate regular cruise control that will work when the radar/ sensor is blocked.
I'll remember to mention that in my video update coming soon. I now have 175k plus miles.
I bought mine today same color 1200 miles basically brand new, i wanted to get a performance car but gas was 3.60 when i got home so i glad i stuck with the hybrid
So am I, gas prices are one of the main reasons I went with this car.
You actually can use "dumb" cruise control by click and holding the button IIRC
I didn't know, someone else just commented this but thank you.
Reason you may not be in the 40 and up mpg is maybe bc it seems like your in a cold climate. Cars get less mpg in winter/cold weather bc the air is more dense. A vehicle will always get its best mpg in the summer when it’s warm.
I can say that I did get better gas mileage in the warmer months.
Hybrids get better gas mileage in the summertime because when it’s cold outside the car has to call for the engine when it doesn’t need it. To keep it warm at operational temperatures. Typically sitting at a stoplight. The car won’t need the engine, but if it gets too cold, it will kick on. When it’s cold outside that happens more often.
I have 2022 accord hybrid touring and when I drive in freeway it feels like the wind is blowing me all over the road. Is anyone else experiencing this? Overall I love my car especially the sonic grey pearl color. Thank you for all the information
I haven't really noticed that, only 1 time when it was really windy.
I am under the impression that the camera in the windshield is what keeps you centered in the lane and the radar is just for the cruise control.
JUST GOT ONE , PLEASE KEEP UP THE REPORTS OR UPDATES. GOOD INFO!
I will
@@justbeingmeyoutube right on.
@neilziesmer6109 I'm at 65k right now and literally NO ISSUES, just regular oil changes, filter and cabin filter changes 30k intervals. 1 transmission change which I'll get another soon. And that's it.
Anyone tell me how the accord hybrid sport wheels/rims handle rougher roads? I live in New England and it’s my only worried
They ride a little rougher on rough roads but not to horrible. And I got new Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires and they handle and ride a lot better with the stock 19 inch rims.
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. 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. As of January 2024 Honda offers a Spare Tire kit available at Hond Parts Counters for about $500
Yes the spare tire was very odd and disappointing. And I actually needed it on 2 occasions. And yes I'm surprised that it lacks all wheel drive option and the other things you mentioned. Plus I think it should have heated and cooled seats in all models seeing that the accord is supposed to be their top sedan.
I thought i was doing a lot of miles doing 25k miles a year. Damn brother, you REALLY putting miles on yours but hey this is exactly what Hondas are for. Im expecting to get 200k miles at least out of this car. I had the same experience as you when looking for a used hybrid, they were the SAME money or more for a used one when i bought it in 22. I wasnt a fan of buying new price for it but i did manage to get it at MSRP in 2022 which wasn't easy as you know. I think its a great car overall, i was coming from a 2015 civic and it's most definitely a nicer, better car in almlst every way.
Great video! You're driving fast. I drive normal and I get average 45 plus. I drive a mix of street and freeway.
I'm putting on miles real fast and over 90% of my miles are highway miles at an average speed limit of 70mph.
Hi, thank you for these videos. Looking forward to updates
I got a 22 sport 1.5 i judt hope no issues. I’m leasing it . Yes i no stupid idea. At 46 i knew better. Thinking about financing it at around 24 mnths of leasing. Reliability i wonder about being a cvt and direct injection..
It's a Honda so reliability should be good. That's the whole reason I bought the car because of the reliability of the brand.
Thank you for a real owners review.
I'm looking for a hybrid. I'm disappointed by the lower than expected real mpg.
My BMW diesel gets better, mpg than that
Ya I was disappointed with the mpg on this car, but I also do most my driving on the highway. I average about 38 mpg city driving. I just got to 100k miles I'll be doing a follow up video soon.
@@justbeingmeyoutube whoa. You drive A LOT
@k2229 yes I do. Mostly for work but I also drive a lot of miles regardless a week.
@justbeingmeyoutube keep up your good work... all of UA-cam doesn't seem to have a REAL person doing a systematic long-term review of their car.
They mostly just do videos for clicks
You seem to be the "REAL" person doing the real reviews for us real people
Hey GREAT VIDEO my friend. It's cool to know that there are drivers that still take care of their vehicles.
Quick question: Can you tell me about drivers' seat comfort? There are alot of complaints about horrible comfort....in the 10 gen. (which I love, by the way.... best looking car on the road!) I see these remarks on the forums and on some reviews. What has your experience been with the seats?? Thank you!!
I like the seat and I think it's pretty comfortable. I sit in the car for 8 hours at a time some days and I have no issues with it. And I agree with it being one of the best looking cars on the road. I think Honda did an excellent job on the design of this vehicle. Practically with great design in my opinion.
I have 43000 on my 2022 Accord Hybrid and I am not that happy with the seat comfort. I am now using a small pillow behind my back and that seems to make a big difference.
How does the charging work? Do you have to plug it in, or does the gas engine charge it? My dad got the Ford Maverick hybrid, and it basically charges itself. Thanks very much for sharing...been looking at the Accord hybrid for my wife.
It charges itself. No need to plug anything in.
Just bought the same car christmas eve. No plug in charges its self from the braking system and coasting down hills
How does comfort feel for you? I like in a state with a lot of potholes and bumps, like an absurd amount and i find myself feeling every single pothole.
Do you experience this as well? Or not really? Can you let me know what your experience is as far as feeling the road and comfort?
I have hit some serious potholes pretty hard and thankfully it didn't do any damage to my rim or tire. I am still always trying to be careful and take it as slow as possible over them or avoid the potholes at all costs. With lower profile tires like these I do notice there is more of a stiff ride on bumping or horrible roads. I just put some MICHELIN
CROSSCLIMATE2 tires on and they seem to be a lot more tire than the factory original Michelin.
@@justbeingmeyoutube I appreciate the info, I think I’m going to do the same once these wear out. I live in MA, this state has the worst highways/roads I’ve ever seen.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
@angelomanzi9272 no problem, right now I have 89k miles and I'll be doing an updated video to this car real soon.
is it true that you could sleep in the car in the winter with heat on, while sleeping the engine turns on to charge the battery and turns off as soon as its charged enough? Apparently the engine doesnt need to come on that often so it doesnt burn through all your gas and engine parts? making a hybrid the perfect type of car or suv to live in?
I know that the engine does turn off when the battery is charged. And that the engine does only run intermediately when parked. As far as how good it would be to keep running many nights in a row that I don't know. I would assume it would put less stress on the engine than a non hybrid version. But then I would kinda think you'd be putting more stress on the battery. But to be honest I don't know really how it would work. I can tell you there has been times I stay in the car at idle for long periods and the engine goes on and off while doing so.
33.2 that’s it, I get way better mileage in my Camry. I get 40-48 just driving normally which is semi aggressive for me. City mileage is over 50 mpg. Winter time the numbers go down a little but I’ve only been below 40 mpg once and it because I had a stick caught in my grille shutter.
That number looks right considering it is winter and hybrids will drop in mpg during winter. How much did you average during the warm months?
Right now I average about 34 on highway at speed above 70mph. Plus I have the air cold. In the city about 38 ish. But I'm a little heavier on the gas petal. I could probably get better if I was always taking it easy.
@@justbeingmeyoutube makes sense.
I have the 2022 Honda Hybrid & the automatic braking system IS A DEATH TRAP!!!!!! It jams on the break sometimes when no vehicle is in front of you, and a car can crash you from the rear
I haven't had an issue with mine where it feels like it could be dangerous. But I have had it lock up a few times thinking I was too close to cars in front of me and I had plenty of room. So I can say I don't care for it that much either. I believe you can turn it off that setting if you don't care for it. I know I have lane departure vibration shut off. That was very annoying to me when the steering wheel would vibrate.
Love your video! I recently just got mine too. What kind of oil you use?
I've been using all Honda oil and filters for now.
I have 900 miles on my car and I'm only averaging 34-35 mpg mostly city driving
I'm averaging about the same in these winter months.
My gas mileage has been better than yours. I have 43000 miles on mine. The only time I have gotten low 30's has been in cold conditions around 12 degrees. I drove to Kentucky from Virginia and back Wednesday over the mountains on the WV Turnpike and got 42 mpg on my 775 mile trip
Yes during colder weather is when my gas milage suffers. During warmer climate I can get 40 mpg ish give or take. I took a trip to the Smokey Mountains when the weather was 50 to 60 degrees in this car and it averaged about 40mpg. In some places in the mountains I would get 120 to 199 mpg downhill. It was cool to watch the gas mileage go so high. I wish I got 120- 199 mpg daily. But this car does great either way compared to most all others.
You need to switch your button the Econ mode
I do
I just subbed. I’m on this journey with you!
What do you do to put that many miles on your car? Uber?
No uber but I have a job that requires me to go back and forth twice to a city that's about 60 miles plus each way, so times that by 4, plus my drive to and from work. So I drive about 1500 miles plus a week.
@@justbeingmeyoutube so you basically get paid to drive your own car each day on your own, sounds great tbh!
just subbed. bought the exact same car (same color too!) in november. on the journey together!
trying to decide if i want to do oil every 5k or just do it when the car tells me to.
Right before every 5k is when I do mine.
Check the manual. It says change it once a year.
Do 5k--you won't regret it.
Many recommend to do a 1k initial oil change after new, apparently it's when metal shavings are most likely to get in to the oil/engine or something. Channel 'Car Care Nut' recommends this and explains it. He showed the filter after 1k with the metal shavings.
@@ln5747 I've heard that too.
I've seen youtube on hybrid maintenance that air filter is a required critical maintenance... Not sure if it is Toyota only or Honda also. ??
I replace mine every 30k miles as recommended and it is an easy and cheap maintenance so I don't find it an inconvenience.
wow. 34k miles in 4 months. that is crazy. What do you do? Uber?
Hi , im 16 and im wanting to save up for a honda accord sport, i have no credit and a minimum wage job that i make around 400 every 2 weeks, is there even a slight chance i could get this car? also did you do a down payment, is so of how much did you put down?
I feel like you should be getting way more mpg. ive seen ppl on the highway get 40-50
I wish I did but the best I average on the highway is 38 mpg.
@@justbeingmeyoutube i just bought mine tuesday, ive averaged around 40 on the highway and 43-47 in city
Keep use updated I want on but I need a van
I'll keep updating videos about my experience with this car. So far I have 58k miles no issues. I plan on making another video about it soon.
You'll prob have to replace the battery around 200k, that'll be around 6k, but even accounting for that you're ahead of the operating cost of the gas version.
Have you factored in the opportunity cost of money?
I looked up the cost of a Honda battery replacement for my 2018 Accord Hybrid. $3300.
Nah he probably won’t have to change it in 10-15 years. With the amount of driving he did to obtain that many miles in a 2022 that car will run 400k miles no problems
With most of my mileage being highway driving I think it'll go 400k plus. I'm hoping but I'll be honest if it doesn't. But if I drove all city miles for the 200k I'd be a little more worried. But even then Hybrid technology has come along way.
to increase gas milage put 50 psi in the tires I average over 50 mpg in city driving
I've never heard of that. Let me know if it wears down your tires unevenly. Hopefully not but running to much psi can do that. Cool experiment though.
Also with low profile tires I would be slightly concerned about blowing out the tire.
@@justbeingmeyoutube I'm keeping an eye on the tires right now I have 22K and the tires have over 50% tread left I don't know what the normal tread life is on the tires
@@justbeingmeyoutube the tire maximum pressure is 50 PSI so i think it will be ok I need to get a reading when the weather warms up and adjust to the temperature
@@freddymatney270 you are jeopardizing the contact patch of the tires and safety of you and your fellow road users
Question how often do you change the engine oil?
Before every 5k miles
@@justbeingmeyoutube thanks
@MarioR23 no problem just make sure you do oil changes slightly before 5k miles to ensure the cars warranty has no issues.
Dude, you are the reason why any Hybrid car is manufactured. 34k miles in four months. That's a oil change every month, wow.
The Hybrid drivetrain system is under the Standard warranty per your state, is usually 3 years or 36,000 miles. The Battery warranty is odd, because it states 8 years 4 months or 100,000 miles. Then it goes on to say before 36 months it's 100% replacement (no cost to you). But after the 36 months it is pro rate all the way down to 100 months with 5% being the highest they will pay out toward the cost of the battery, and labor to replace it.
I get it though, not everyone takes car of their car. And Honda has to protect against folks not taking care of their product.
I'm at 73k right now I'm going to make another video at 75k stay tuned if your interested on hearing my experience. I can tell you it's been good. And yes I put milage on very quickly and probably at a rate much faster than the average buyers of a car.
@@justbeingmeyoutube How are you putting so many miles? You drive for Uber or something?
@faultless18 I do a delivery service. And I drive a lot on top of that. So I put on about 1800k miles a week. Sometimes more. I have 90k miles right now so I'll be doing a video soon.
@@justbeingmeyoutube My mind is blown! You drive 1800 miles a week!!?? 🤯
That’s crazy! You should definitely invest in the new Toyota Prius Prime.
It’s redesigned, fun to drive, comfortable and the mpg is 45-53mpg
@faultless18 I seen the new design, it's a lot better looking. But I'm hoping to get a lot of life out of this car. I'll keep positing my progress.
damn dude already 40k miles
I'm at 50k right now. I put miles on quick.
Jeez! Lay off the gas on the highway .set Cruz at 70.. don't drive 100 mpg will go up
Lol I take it easy and go the speed limits but when it's cold the mpg suffer when the heat is running etc. It fairs better in gas mileage during warmer climates.
What’s the price for fuel? Now in usa?
About 3 a gallon give or take today.
@@justbeingmeyoutube Since we thanked biden when prices went up, i guess we should thank him when they go down too
@andrewwkay8586 it's funny you said that because I was pumping gas the other day and seen a sticker of Biden saying I did this. Idk too much who's fault it is because I don't get involved in politics but hopefully we can thank him for dropping it to 99 cents soon. The American Dream 🤔
Have you tried using the cruise control? That should give You3-5 more MPGs when on the highway and keeping under 70.
@@falcorzed I have tried that and steady speeds do help a little. Also gas milage is better at speed lower than 70.
Come back when you have at 90000 miles with 34000 miles they won’t give you no problems
I will. I'm going to do a video at 50k which will be in about a month and a half from today. And then probably every 10k miles after do let everyone see the journey. I see people who have 200k plus on their Hybrid Accord with no issues other than regular maintenance. So I'm hoping to put 300k plus miles on this car with no major issues except brakes, tires, and regular maintenence like oil and fluid changes. Will see though and I'll definitely give an honest review of this car. I bought this Accord for one reason, reliability. Honda has had a great reputation for reliability so that's why I purchased this car. And I'll be giving my honest experience with no incentives, perks, or allegedance to anyone but the truth. Stay tuned.
@@justbeingmeyoutube good luck with the batteries when you get 100k start saving some money
@esemrjoker213 I think the battery will last 400k plus. Reason being I drive 95% of my mileage on the highway. So the battery only works rarely. Let's say if I put on 100k miles over let's say a 6 to 10 year period and light driving daily it would probably need a new battery and I'd agree with your 100k prediction. But either way I'll definitely be honest if there is any issues. Do you speak from personal experience on the 100k or did you just go off the 100k battery factory warranty?
What kind of problems have you had at 90,000?
Not bad. If you swap the wheels to 17s, you’d get 47-50 mpg combined loo
I never heard of that but I also don't doubt it. The 19 inch rims do make for a little stiffer of a ride. But for me they've done well so I'll just stick with the factory specifications. That way I can give an accurate opinion on this car as is.
when is the next review? you must have close to 80K
I'm at about 70k I'll be doing another video soon.
Updates please!
The 2023 sucks less power, the one that is not hybrid
I will say it sucks just off the new design of the accord. I personally don't like it. But it still is a nice car all around I just like the body style of my 2022 more. It looks like they went back in time with the new design.
@@justbeingmeyoutube I don’t have the hybrid but man I’m going to miss the power of the accord 2.0T all that torque at lower RPMs. Like what the heck was Honda thinking to discontinue the 2.0T accord with all that power and go down to a hybrid with less power, ugh!
@@MexicoTijuana741 I got the hybrid with the 2.0 engine. But I heard they were switching to 1.5 engines in the 2023 so I'm glad I got mine when I did.
to get the claimed mileage from any car you have to drive like your grandma
your driving style is not ideal, so mileage is low. gently acceleration, gently braking will easily get to 51 mpg.
I can get better gas milage during city driving and slower speeds. But during cold weather and steady 70mph highway speeds my gas milage will only get 35- 38 ish mpg at best. Trust me I try and do everything to get better gas milage. Unless I wanted to set cruise control at 55mph and go 15mph below the speed limit of 70mph which would make a lot of people mad on the highway and possibly get me pulled over I don't see any possibility of getting better gas milage.
Your mileage results are bogus. Drive responsibly.
My mileage results aren't bogus, I wish they were. I have no reason to lie. I would love to get 40mpg plus all the time and I was hoping I would but that's not the truth. The highways near me have 70mph and even 75nph speed limits in my state. This car gets great gas milage during city driving and speeds between 0 and 60pmh, especially slower city driving. But during colder weather and higher speeds the gas milage suffers and that's a fact.
