2019 Honda Accord Hybrid review

1. Three distinct driving modes

The three-mode drive system in the 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid allows you to make real-time adjustments to the car's handling and performance. EV mode powers the car from both the electric motor and hybrid battery, so it's a great option for short drives. Tap the Sport Drive button for boosted acceleration and sharper handling around tight corners. Looking to save fuel? Switch to ECON mode, which boosts the efficiency of the throttle response and climate control system.

2. Lots of driver-assistance features

You can feel more confident in the driver's seat thanks to the Honda Sensing® technologies that come standard on every trim of the 2019 Accord Hybrid. This suite of driver aids provides warnings if you drift into another lane without signaling or you're approaching a vehicle ahead of you too quickly. It also applies pressure to the brakes if it detects a potential frontal collision, and it can gently correct your steering to help keep you in the center of the lane. Plus, it has a camera to monitor traffic signs and remind you of the speed limit on some roads.

3. Cutting-edge technology

Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration come standard on every trim of the 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid, so your favorite apps and driving playlists are right at your fingertips. That's just the beginning of this car's tech features, though. There's also at least one USB port, Bluetooth^® HandsFreeLink^® integration, and an audio system with up to ten speakers. For even more technology, consider the Touring trim. It offers the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System^™, a head-up display, an available Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless phone charger, and HondaLink^® subscription services.

4. Touches of luxury

The 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid includes several luxurious touches that can make your driving experience more comfortable and convenient. For example, the Active Noise Cancellation^™ system keeps the cabin quiet, while the push-button start allows you to fire up the ignition without ever touching a key. No need to remember to lock your car, either—Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock^® automatically locks the Accord Hybrid when the key fob is more than five feet away. You can also stay toasty with heated front seats on the EX trim and above.

5. Plenty of storage

The 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid has designated spots for all your must-have driving essentials. All trims have a sunglasses holder, seatback pockets, and beverage holders in the front and back. And with 16.7 cu-ft of trunk space, this car can carry more gear than many other hybrid and electric vehicles. Need to squeeze in just one more piece of luggage? Simply lower the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback for more hauling room.
