HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Touted by Honda as "the ultimate Accord," the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid made its first official public appearance April 23-24, 2016, during Earth Day weekend celebrations at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California.
The new Accord Hybrid brings class-leading fuel economy, class-leading power, and best-in-class trunk space to the road, with great expectations from Honda that this new hybrid will sell well and help the brand break its former 2014 sales record of just below 14,000 vehicles sold in one year.
Leading the Pack
Production methods and hybrid component supplies have improved over time, which gives Honda confidence that Accord Hybrid sales will jump during the 2017 model year.
Among its many leading assets, the 2017 Accord Hybrid currently reigns at the top of its class as the most powerful midsize hybrid sedan available, boasting 212 total system hp.
The Accord Hybrid also provides impressive fuel economy of EPA-estimated 49 mpg in the city, 47 mpg on the highway, and 48 combined mpg,* which is based on stricter new EPA fuel economy requirements that have been put in place for the 2017 model year.
Thanks to its more compact battery pack, the Accord Hybrid's trunk space has also increased to a best-in-class 13.5 cubic feet.
America's Most Popular Car
The Honda Accord currently stands as the most popular car in America among retail car buyers. The Accord has held this title for three years running and is on track to conquer its fourth consecutive year in 2016, with sales that have risen 12.3% during 2016's first quarter.
