Honda Accord Hybrid 0-60 times

Do you want to earn a few bragging rights? It's simple. Simply test your Honda Accord Hybrid accelerations time, of course, in a hands-free as well as fully automated way. What's more, post the Accord Hybrid 0-60 time to your leaderboard.

The leaderboard will feature accuracy to the millisecond and display your position in comparison to other users in real time. Also, it'll save for you lots of acceleration times from various models.

The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid adds to its leading functionality a roomy interior, top-notch handling and acceleration, and exceptional fuel economy. The latest model has been fully overhauled and now looks sharper and features new technological and safety features. In addition to an upgrade on cargo space, the Accord Hybrid comes with forward-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. A 60/40 split of the rear seat is now possible thanks to the redefined battery pack.

The drivetrain is brilliantly configured and uses an Atkinson-cycle, 2.0-liter, port-injected, inline-four engine to deliver 129 pound-feet of torque and 143 horsepower. When combined with two electric motors, the total output is at 212 horsepower. Drivers can choose between three driving modes: an Engine Drive mode that puts engine usage at a fixed ratio, a Hybrid Drive mode that uses the gasoline engine to power the generator while electricity propels the car, and an EV Drive mode that runs completely on battery power. The trio works amazingly well under mild conditions. When more performance is demanded, however, you can feel the disorder.

The combustion engine runs wildly while grunting at low frequency. A release on the accelerator brings everything back to normal silence. The Accord Hybrid gets from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. Surprisingly, it performs better than the manual Accord Sport by 0.1 seconds. It takes 15.5 seconds to cover a quarter of a mile. A trap speed of 90 mph is also showcased. The 2.0T Accord that features an automatic transmission is the speed beast in the lineup. It hits the 60 mph mark in 5.7 seconds and covers a quarter of a mile in 14.3 seconds. The Toyota Camry XLE Hybrid is the closest competitor to the Honda Accord Hybrid. It too cannot match its rival’s performance. It takes 7.9 seconds to get to 60 mph and covers a quarter of a mile in 16 seconds.

The only improvement that Honda needs to make on the Accord Hybrid is its braking system. Halting at 70 mph requires 189 feet. While it does not exhibit the erratic feel and inconsistencies that troubled hybrids, the stopping could use an upgrade. The Accord Hybrid lineup will now have a new affordable base trim. It will feature much of what we have in the Accord LX 1.5T. This includes remote start, Honda sensing, LED low-beam headlights, 17-inch aluminum wheels, proximity entry, and dual-zone automatic climate control. As you climb higher, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, heated seats and a leather upholstery are available.

We are yet to receive the Accord Hybrid’s EPA ratings. They are expected to match the previous model’s 49-mpg city and 47-mpg highway estimates. New exterior features include a digital gauge cluster, flush-spoked wheels, and hybrid badges. The remarkable powertrains – a 10-speed automatic, the turbocharged 4-cylinders, a 6-speed manual, and an excellent CVT – make the new Accord Hybrid a fun vehicle to drive on all types of terrains. For those with speed phobia, however, the Honda Accord Hybrid is simply a numbers game.
