On 1. July 2014 Thailand became only the fourth country to launch the all new Honda Accord Hybrid, after Japan, United States and Canada.
Its looks are borrowed from the conventional Accord, but Honda's new Accord Hybrid delivers great fuel efficiency all its own: 23.6 km/l in combined city and highway driving is almost easy with Honda's new Petrol-Electric Model.
Extraordinary fuel economy, strong performance and a roomy, upscale interior impress those who have driven the new 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid.
The 2014 Accord Hybrid has a four-cylinder engine, electric motor and continuously variable transmission. The Accord Hybrid has plenty of power, particularly from a stop. The 2014 Accord Hybrid’s start-stop feature receives praise for how seamless it is. The transition between gas and electric power is so flawless you can’t tell it even made the switch. At an EPA-estimated 50/45 mpg city/highway, the Honda Accord Hybrid’s fuel economy is amazing for the class. The Accord Hybrid has balanced handling, saying it feels a bit sporty on a winding road. The steering is accurate and the brakes are strong without feeling touchy.
The inside of the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is filled with good-looking, premium materials. The Accord Hybrid offers plenty of passenger space and gives the driver a great view of the road and his or her surroundings. Standard features on the Honda Accord Hybrid include Bluetooth, a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, a USB input, an 8-inch infotainment screen, Pandora Internet radio compatibility, hands-free text messaging capability and Honda LaneWatch (which uses a camera mounted under the passenger side mirror to show the driver what’s in his or her right side blind spot via the 8-inch screen). Available features include navigation, a touch-screen interface, Honda Link smartphone app integration, a seven-speaker premium audio system, satellite radio, a moonroof, a multi-angle rearview camera, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
It would be good if you could see more data and info when driving in EV mode on the gauges, but overall the amount of fuel economy info that’s displayed is good. The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is EPA rated at 50 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. More importantly, the combined rating is 47 mpg, and Honda's new two-motor hybrid system (introduced last year with the Accord Plug-In Hybrid in Japan and the US) aims to deliver those numbers to all but the incurably lead-footed.
You Can Get Over 50 MPG, Sort of Yeah, if your driving style is best described as "asleep at the wheel," or "featherfoot," you can get 50 mpg...or more. Drivers with lots of patience and no apparent reluctance to inconvenience others on the road, have turned in 70-mpg-plus averages on a short city loop test-drive. In "average" driving with no jackrabbit starts, no last-minute braking and strict adherence to speed limits, the top-of-the-line Accord Hybrid TECH returned 49.1 mpg overall. Fuel efficiency can suffer a little from hills, or mountain driving as well as the high use of the aircon.
Honda has always gone its own way in the hybrid arena, and its new system keeps that streak going. Honda engineers deftly combined a all new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine that develops 141 horsepower packaged with a pair of electric motors. One motor powers the front wheels, while the other, the motor-generator, is relegated solely to making electricity. The two motors have a maximum output of 166 hp, and when they are operating in conjunction with the gas engine the powertrain delivers a total maximum of 199 hp and 226 pound-feet of torque.
The Accord Hybrid can operate in three different modes: all-electric, series hybrid mode or gasoline-only mode. Pure EV mode only works when the battery charge is adequate, and in our time behind the wheel that seemed to be as much as 20 percent of the time. The all-electric EV mode even kicks in occasionally on flat or downhill terrain when cruising at highway speeds.
In hybrid mode, the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid doesn't use its gas engine for propulsion. It is a true "series" hybrid (similar to the Chevrolet Volt) in which the internal-combustion engine is used only to drive the motor-generator. The power computer decouples the engine from the wheels and directs its power to the motor-generator. The electricity produced by the spinning generator is then delivered to the drive motor, which turns the front wheels while any excess power is stored in the lithium-ion battery.
At highway speeds, when the gasoline engine is at its most efficient, the power controller shuts down the electric drive motor and lets the four-cylinder, dual-overhead cam, i-VTEC engine do its thing.
For ease of communication, Honda calls the "transmission" in the Accord Hybrid an e-CVT, which would stand for electronic continuously variable transmission if it really were one. However, there is no actual transmission, CVT or otherwise. The electric motors do the job.
When the gas engine is propelling the car, the connection to the front wheels is made directly through the electric drive motor, which allows the output shaft to spin at a rate that would approximate 6th gear in a standard Honda six-speed automatic.
In EV and Hybrid modes, when power to the front wheels is all coming from the electric drive motor, the car doesn't need a transmission because of the electric motor's ability to deliver full torque instantaneously. The motor operates as a single-speed reduction gear to deliver maximum power to the wheels.
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid drives, well, like a Honda Accord. It is peppy, exhibits very little body lean on corners, is fairly responsive despite its electric steering and it is quite comfortable. The ride is a bit stiffer than we remember in most Accords, although Honda claims that it's set up just like the conventionally powered models. The brakes are smooth and don't exhibit the low-speed grabbiness some hybrids and EVs exhibit as a side effect of the switch from regenerative to mechanical braking.
The car's e-CVT "transmission" does a good job of mimicking the feel of a more traditional setup. Much of the time there's none of that disconcerting disconnect between the accelerator pedal and actual engine revs for which "standard" CVTs are so well known. And Honda's powertrain engineers have done a masterful job of integrating the gas engine and electric propulsion systems. Even the engine idle-stop (also called auto stop-start) operates with nary a stutter or shudder.
The hybrid is based on the standard 2014 Accord, so there's not much difference in standard equipment other than a few styling tweaks. These include hybrid-unique 17-inch (or 18-inch in the TECH model) aero-styled alloy wheels, low-rolling-resistance tires, LED daylight running lamps, blue-accented taillights, a blue-accented grille and hybrid badges. There's also a tiny spoiler lip on the rear deck lid and an air diffuser beneath the rear bumper, both designed to improve aerodynamics.
Inside, there's a unique instrument display that shows power use levels on the left side of the speedometer and battery charge and (gasoline) fuel levels on the right side. The information display centered in the big, round speedo shows all the regular stuff, like turn-by-turn directions and which safety systems (such as lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control) are engaged. It also has a hybrid-only power flow meter that shows whether power is coming from the engine, the electric motor or both, and also when power is being sent from the engine or wheels to the battery.
Because the Accord Hybrid's battery is mounted behind the rear seatback, it eats up about 20 percent of the truck space, cutting it to 12.7 cubic feet from the standard Accord's 15.8 cubic feet.
Like so many hybrids before it, this Accord Hybrid doesn't make perfect sense from a financial standpoint. It will take a while to recoup the extra cost, especially considering that the standard four-cylinder Accord is pretty good on gas to begin with.
Then again, even if this Accord doesn't pencil out in strict dollar terms, it does make sense for those drivers who simply want a refined, spacious and efficient and very safe sedan that doesn't scream hybrid. The trunk might be slightly smaller and the ride a bit firmer, but the ability to drive any way you want and still get more than 40 mpg has its draw, certainly more so than the performance angle Honda touted the first time around.
Conclusion:
Honda fields a true all-star hybrid sedan with its new 2014 Accord Hybrid. The Hybrid offers all the advantages of the regular Accord but adds to it with Prius-like fuel economy without the odd looks and poor driving dynamics. A Honda Accord Hybrid makes so much sense, you might be surprised to learn that there isn't already one on the market. Honda, which had fallen behind other carmakers with its hybrid models, seems to have put the right ingredients together this time, creating a high-tech sedan that comes loaded with creature comforts, safety features and an impressive drivetrain. Prodigal son Honda returns with its latest Accord Hybrid offering and we'd have to say all things are forgiven. Using innovative technology in a well-received and recognized package, at a reasonable price, will only heat up the Hybrid Wars. This time, they'll be ready.

It also offers advanced safety with a Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) and Active Cornering Lights.
The new Honda Accord Hybrid is available in two variants, which are the Accord Hybrid and Accord Hybrid TECH.
Both variants come in four colors – Crystal Black Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Alabaster Silver Metallic and White Orchid Pearl. To ensure the unrivaled quality of the Honda Hybrid innovation, Honda will provide a 5-year warranty on the entire Honda Hybrid system with no limit on mileage and a 10-year warranty on the battery life for all bookings and deliveries within 31 December 2014.
Remarks: - Crystal Black Pearl paint is an additional 8,000 baht
- White Orchid Pearl paint is an additional 12,000 baht
- Features vary according to variants.
* These fuel consumption figures were the result from a TIS 2540-2554 (2011) certified testing institute, which complies with UNECE Reg.101 technical specifications. (Fuel consumption will vary from actual driving depending on various factors).
