All-new 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid unveils

Honda has officially unveiled the all-new 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid, which was previewed earlier this month. The vehicle features the same sophisticated styling found on the Accord Sedan plus unique hybrid badging and blue-accented grille and light lenses, LED daytime running lights, a unique wheel design and a decklid spoiler.

The 2014 Accord Hybrid uses Honda's new two-motor hybrid powertrain, much of which is shared with the Accord Plug-In that went on sale in January. The two-motor SPORT HYBRID Intelligent Multi Mode Drive powertrain in the Accord Hybrid allows the vehicle to move through three different driving modes – EV Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive – to optimize fuel efficiency. 

In 'EV Drive', the Accord Hybrid uses the lithium-ion battery to run in electric-only mode at lower speeds. The 'Engine Drive' is used in medium to high speed cruising, which sends the engine power directly to the front wheels. In 'Hybrid Drive,' the powerful 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor and the all-new 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine blend together for powerful acceleration, while allowing for efficient driving in stop-and-go traffic situations. The Accord Hybrid is anticipated to obtain a class-leading mid-size sedan EPA fuel economy1 rating of 20.8/19.13/19.8 kmpl (city/highway/combined).

The car comes with innovative new features such as Honda's LaneWatch blind-spot display, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), an 8-inch color i-MID display, perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, cloud-based HondaLink featuring Aha compatibility, seven-speaker audio system with Bluetooth streaming audio, Pandora interface and XM Radio, and a multi-angle rear view camera with guidelines. The vehicle also sports the same next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, along with Honda's new SmartVent front-side airbags.
