Honda Accord Hybrid

Following the Insight and Civic hybrid models, the Honda Accord Hybrid is the 3rd hybrid model introduced by Honda. The engine in the Hybrid is derived from the 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan and can shut off 3 of the 6 cylinders under certain conditions for better fuel economy.
Fuel economy is estimated at 25 mpg (US) in the city, 34 mpg (US) on the highway. With this car Honda puts the emphasis on performance and targets high-end buyers. Unlike traditional hybrid designs, the new Accord hybrid uses a more powerful engine than its non-hybrid counterpart. The hybrid version is a slightly higher performance car than the conventional V6-engined Accord.
