The almost 50-mpg Honda Accord Hybrid modelyear 2017 is now available across the Unites States as an efficient and semi-luxurious family sedan, starting from $29,605. That is good value for money, considering what you get in return.

The biggest thing you get with the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is a nifty hybrid powertrain featuring an ultra-efficient 2.0-liter i-VTEC petrol unit and an electric motor, good for a combined output of 212 horsepower. This unit returns PA fuel economy ratings of 49/47/48 (city/highway/combined) and offers three driving modes of electric EV Drive, Hybrid and Engine Drive for maximum attack.

Then of course we have Honda’s build quality and safety – two very important factors for family guys. In terms of safety the Accord Hybrid comes with a comprehensive list of tech features, including Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

But that doesn’t mean the Accord Hybrid is a car for dull and boring people. Well, it is a bit. But the car has some cool look to it like a sports grille and fancy wheels, so you won’t particularly look like an accountant or a geography teacher driving it. This car offers a good compromise between efficiency, comfort, and dignity.
