What is the highway fuel consumption of the hybrid Accord?
2 Answers
The official combined fuel consumption of the Accord hybrid is 6-6.6L/100km. Here are the relevant details: 1. The actual fuel consumption varies depending on the driver's habits and road conditions. 2. The new model features a fresh design with a 'U'-shaped front grille and a near-fastback silhouette. Inside, the hybrid version retains the design of the new-generation fuel-powered Accord, with the key difference being the adoption of a push-button gear selector similar to the NSX, replacing the traditional gear lever for enhanced technological appeal. The car comes equipped with features like one-touch start, a multifunction leather steering wheel, a large dual-screen infotainment system, and a dashboard that displays battery capacity and energy recovery information. 3. The GAC Honda Accord hybrid is powered by Honda's third-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system, which includes a new IPU (Intelligent Power Unit). The powertrain consists of a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle naturally aspirated engine, dual electric motors, an e-CVT transmission, a power control unit, and a lithium-ion battery.
I drive a hybrid Accord to commute to work, often on highways, with an average fuel consumption of around 5.5 L/100km, which is quite fuel-efficient. As a busy person, I drive 60 kilometers round trip on highways every day. I've tested it several times, and the data is very stable—about a little over 5 liters per 100 kilometers, saving a significant amount on fuel costs. On highways, the hybrid system frequently starts the engine to charge the battery, but the electric motor assistance reduces fuel consumption, making it much more economical than the gasoline-powered Accord, which typically consumes over 7L on highways. Factors affecting fuel consumption include speed control—I've found that maintaining a steady 100km/h saves about 0.5L compared to driving at 120km/h—and regular tire pressure checks, as low pressure increases fuel consumption. Overall, it’s a worry-free and economical drive, with ample power on highways.
