The 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid wows critics with its responsive powertrain, exceptional fuel economy and spacious, high-quality interior.

Reviewers say the 2015 Accord Hybrid is quick for a hybrid midsize car, and that its four-cylinder engine and electric motor produce ample power from a stop. The Accord Hybrid’s automatic transmission also earns praise for making the most of the available power. According to the EPA, the Honda Accord Hybrid gets 50/45 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for a hybrid car. Test drivers report that the Accord Hybrid has a comfortable ride, and some write that it handles with more poise than you’d expect from an affordable midsize car.

Most appreciate the Accord Hybrid’s excellent outward visibility and remarkably spacious back seat, but some remark that the driver’s seat could be a bit more comfortable. The Accord Hybrid offers a competitive amount of trunk space for the class, but test drivers point out that a folding rear seat is not available, which limits your ability to expand the Accord Hybrid’s cargo space for bulkier items. Critics are pleased with the Accord Hybrid’s standard infotainment display, saying it provides useful details about audio and phone selections. However, some complain that the touch screen that comes standard on higher trims replaces more straightforward conventional buttons.
