2017 Honda Accord Hybrid consumer reviews

Purchased new, and put on 800 miles a month, about 50-50 city/highway. Average MPG is 44.7 in the first several weeks, so I'm happy. That's with average daily temps well below 32F, and it has been improving as more spring-like weather arrives. Many city trips are 52 mpg or better. Experimenting on the same daily route, the hybrid does get slightly better economy with the Econo button turned off (yes, off). Battery charges quickly to full in city stop-and-start driving, keeping the gas engine off more often than I expected -- the car's power management is very intelligent. Lane-keeping assist, collision-mitigation braking and adaptive cruise feels like a self-driving car at times on the highway. Don't ignore your driver's responsibilities (hands on the wheel, eyes on traffic and the road), but it's definitely a great safety system that could save you in a momentary lapse of attention. Inside, the only downside is a Apple Carplay issue where the iPhone 6+ occasionally loses connection over the USB cable (a known Apple IOS 10.x issue, apparently). Works great using Maps for navigation and Siri for totally simple, reliable voice interaction. Overall performance is surprisingly good -- solid power right from the start (the instant torque is wonderful) all the way up to cruising speed, when often the engine shuts down and electric vehicle mode takes over. Hit the Sport mode to get an instant extra assist -- and a substantial jolt it is -- from the electric power system. No complaints here with power or the completely smooth switching between gas and electric modes. Other than the quiet driving, you'd hardly know it's not a gas-powered V6 under the hood. Styling is eye-catching but not overdone. At the curb, the car doesn't look as big as it seems when you get in. Plenty of room in the back seats and trunk. You wanted a sedan anyway, right? Modern steel metallic looks great, too, and the hybrid-exclusive turbine 17" alloy wheels are sharp-looking, even if the factory-installed Michelin all-seasons are no good for winter driving conditions. You'll need a second set of real snow tires and wheels if you live in snow country. Bottom line: this is about as sporty, comfy, uncomplicated and (important) uncompromising as hybrid driving can get. The best way to experience it is to take one for a drive. You'll be sold. And you won't be putting dollars in the tank like your old car, which feels pretty darn good as well.

Recently purchased a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid in the Touring trim in gun metal grey. I travel a great deal for work and as of yet, have not been disappointed by the gas mileage as another reviewer claimed. On the highway (which at times can be as slow as city speeds in the greater Los Angeles area) I have no problem exceeding the claimed 49mpg. Last 4 trips over 37 miles each way resulted in a minimum of 49.2 to a maximum of 53.6 mpg. It's all in how you drive I guess. The cabin is roomy and well appointed. Not really a fan of the lane keeping feature personally, but its there if I want it. Reliability is a given as with most every Honda. As with my wife's '14 Civic, our recent purchase of the '17 Accord Hybrid Touring has been nothing less than a joy. If given the chance to change my mind on my purchase, I simply wouldn't.

I have had it for a couple of weeks, so I am not sure about reliability but it has been great so far. I have been driving in the city and highway miles. It gets great gas mileage and the performance is terrific. It has plenty of power and no issues with acceleration or braking. I have the Touring edition, it has many driving safety features including lane assist which take some getting used to. We have really bad roads around here and that kind of trips it up a bit. There are so many systems on it, it takes hands on instruction and or study of the manual to make sure your questions are answered. The ride is great. This is my 5th hybrid auto, and my third Accord (only hybrid) and my favorite.

Honda promises 47 city, 49 highway. This car comes nowhere close. I have a light foot and the best I've achieved in 1,500 miles is 42.8. My Camry Hybrid exceeded its rated mileage. Honda claims that mileage is always below the sticker. Not true. I also have a Prius and it equals its stickered mileage.

I?ve had my EX-L for a week and it has lived up to its rave reviews. Its technological advances make a plug-in hybrid moot or obsolete, especially the improved hybrid drive system. It is succinctly superior to the two Civic Hybrids we have been driving since 2006. This car is well made, comfortable, nicely appointed, fairly quiet, responsive and overall pleasant to drive. I never thought I?d buy another Honda because its dealers are so difficult to deal with on warranty claims, but this car is worth that risk. The safety features including Lane Departure and Collision mitigation are welcomed by two seniors whose driving skills are diminishing. This car makes driving safer for us, plus it has many convenient features like automatic locking, resetting trip odometer on fill-ups, extensive voice control, smartphone integration, etc. (which are more or less found in comparable new cars, but nonetheless pretty cool). Mileage is true to its estimate with 46-48 easily obtained and you can get 50 if you are careful, especially in city driving. My only criticisms are no driver?s side blind spot indicator and the collision mitigation does not bring the car to a complete stop in an emergency. Having said all these nice things about the 2017 Accord Hybrid, we still preferred the updated Toyota Prius Touring model because of higher mpg, more safety features, quieter driving with better handling, and $4500 lower price, but we disqualified that car because the rear window was small and obstructed by a spoiler.
