About Hybrids
Hybrid vehicles utilize one or more electric motors and a dedicated battery to support a gas-powered engine. By alleviating some of the engine's workload, a hybrid powertrain helps reduce fuel consumption and releases fewer harmful emissions compared to a combustion-only vehicle. The gasoline/electric combination can also often provide smoother performance and more responsive acceleration. Hybrid vehicles charge as you drive, using the engine as an alternator and capturing the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. As a result, you don't need to worry about plugging in to increase your miles per gallon.
Honda Hybrid Models
Honda offers hybrid variants for two of its most popular models: the Honda Accord midsize sedan and the Honda CR-V compact crossover. Here's a quick look overview of each model.
Honda Accord Hybrid
A midsize sedan benchmark, the Honda Accord sets the segment's standard with a superb blend of comfort, refinement, drivability, and reliability. The Honda Accord's long-standard excellence has made it an almost permanent fixture on Car and Driver's 10Best list, including its most recent award in 2024, when editors gave the sedan a 10/10 rating. An 11th-generation redesign in 2023 made the Honda Accord even better with upgraded accommodations, advanced features, and a sharp new look.
For the Honda Accord's 11th generation, Honda has integrated the hybrid variant into the main lineup, providing propulsion for the top four trim levels: Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. The powertrain combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors, generating 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. Power runs to the front wheels via a well-tuned continuously variable transmission that optimizes responsiveness and efficiency.
The Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid (17-inch wheels) has EPA ratings of 51 mpg city, 44 mpg highway, and 48 mpg combined. Models with 19-inch wheels (Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, Sport Touring Hybrid) achieve an EPA-estimated 46 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 44 mpg combined.1
Honda CR-V Hybrid
Much like its Honda Accord sibling, the Honda CR-V sets a high bar for its class. This exemplary compact crossover boasts a classy and capacious cabin, bold styling, generous amenities, and up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity. It's also pleasant to drive, with confident handling and a smooth ride. The Honda CR-V received a sixth-generation redesign in 2023, a more rugged look, roomier accommodations, and upgraded amenities. The Honda CR-V's impressive well-roundedness helped it earn back-to-back Car and Driver 10Best awards in 2023 and 2024.
The sixth-generation Honda CR-V Hybrid has the same powertrain as the Honda Accord Hybrid, using it to power Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid trim levels. Front-wheel-drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the Honda CR-V Hybrid has EPA ratings of 40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined.1
