If you’re a fan of the 2016 Honda Accord, you’ve got company. The Honda Accord has long been one of the Honda brand’s most popular and recognizable vehicles. And at Hall Honda Elizabeth City, we’ve noticed a growing interest in hybrid vehicles among our drivers. Soon, we’ll be able to point them in the direction of the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, one of the most powerful and fuel-efficient midsize sedans in the U.S.

The 2017 Honda Accord builds on an incredible legacy. A staggering 30-time recipient of Car and Driver magazine’s “10 Best” award [1], the Honda Accord has been the top retail selling car in the U.S. for three years [2], and is currently the best-selling midsize car among drivers under 35 [3]. Jeff Conrad, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Honda Division, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., was excited to talk about what comes next for the Honda Accord: "The Accord Hybrid is the ultimate Accord, offering exceptional dynamic qualities with the greatest technological sophistication and fuel efficiency in the Accord family. Consumers have made Accord America's top selling midsize sedan, recognizing its unique combination of performance, value, efficiency and refinement, and the 2017 Accord Hybrid ups the game in each of these traits."

The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid features an advanced second-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain, delivering an impressive peak total system output of 212 mph. Upgrades to the 2016 model include new, dynamic styling, sportier performance, and the latest tech. Speaking of high-tech highlights, Honda Sensing™, the brand’s suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, will come standard on all 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid models. Features include 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).

This is only a small sampling of what the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid has to offer. We’ll be sure to dive into more detail in the coming months. And of course, we’ll be glad to walk you through all of the great features of every Honda vehicle here at our dealership in Elizabeth City, NC. While you’re here, don’t forget about the Honda financial services offered in our financing department. We’ll help make your Honda dreams come true. 

The Accord has just been named one of Car and Driver's 10Best for the 30th time1, giving it more appearances on the list than any other car in the magazine's history. As our signature vehicle, the 2016 Accord upholds a legacy we started in 1976. With further design refinements and even more efficient performance, it's our best Accord ever. Again.
