For over 35 years, the Honda Accord has been a standout for solid, reliable transportation with good performance, fuel-efficiency and value. The ninth generation Accord added significant powertrain improvements including Honda's first application of plug-in hybrid technology. The versatile Accord is offered in a range of trim levels from the LX to the top-of the line Touring model. All models include common power equipment like power windows, locks and dual-zone climate control. A range of powertrain options is available including four-cylinder and V6 engines in addition to hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems. The plug-in hybrid model offers up to 10-15 miles of electric only driving and will recharge in less than 3 hours on standard 120v household electricity.

The Accord adds hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. The plug-in hybrid is Honda's first application of this new technology. Honda pairs a 2.0l four-cylinder engine with a 120kW electric motor for gas-only, electric-only, and hybrid operation. The Accord Plug-In Hybrid includes a 6 kWh lithium-ion battery which can be recharged in less than an hour at 240V.
