GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- West Michigan Honda Dealers has exciting news: The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid has been officially unveiled and will soon be joining the 2016 Honda Accord at their dealerships. After taking a year off, the Accord Hybrid is back, and Honda engineers have tweaked the powertrain and battery pack to deliver one of the most efficient cars on the road.
Speaking at the debut of the new Accord Hybrid, John Mendel, the executive VP for American Honda Motor Company, said, "The new Honda Accord Hybrid is the ultimate Accord-the most refined, technologically sophisticated, and, of course, most fuel efficient in the lineup … We think this new hybrid model will add considerable momentum for the Honda brand."
Those updates will likely put to bed any ideas drivers have about hybrids being boring or slow, as not only did the car get a fuel economy boost, it received an increase in power as well.
● 2017 Accord Hybrid models have 212 hp combined from their gasoline and electric motors, and those electric motors help ensure swift torque delivery.
● While the car has a power boost, it also received a fuel economy increase. 2017 Accord Hybrid fuel economy numbers come in at an EPA-estimated 49 city mpg, 47 highway mpg, and 48 mpg combined.*
The 2017 Accord Hybrid comes in three different trim levels and features three different drive modes, making it one of the most responsive and customizable hybrid cars.
In the cabin, drivers will find features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for syncing their smartphones. The new Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features comes standard on each model. Unique style accents-upgraded wheels, an aluminum hood, and hybrid badging-help further separate the vehicle from its non-hybrid siblings.
