We’ve driven this 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid for exactly one month so far, and have been impressed with the solid, composed, and smooth ride it’s provided over the first 1,000 miles that we’ve added to its odometer.

It’s a good thing there’s an “EV” indicator in the gauge display to let you know when you’re driving on battery power, because unless you’re full-throttling it, you really have no idea if the 2.0-liter I4 engine is actually running or not. Fuel economy from the 204-horsepower setup is off to a good start at 45.1 mpg.

“If you are a skeptic like me, you’re probably thinking there has to be some major trade-off with this Accord Hybrid’s fuel efficiency. But so far, we haven’t found ourselves making any notable sacrifices for it. There’s plenty of power. It’s delivered smoothly. And the extra weight does seemingly nothing to hurt the ride and handling in daily driving scenarios.”

These light-colored leather seats may be a challenge to keep clean, but they’re plenty comfortable. Some people love the truss-style dash trim that integrates the vents, finding it’s architectural-inspired design both modern and appealing; others think it doesn’t quite fit in with the overall upscale feel of the space.

But perhaps this new Accord has impressed us most just by sitting still, as its low profile and dynamic lines easily make it the best-looking Accord sedan ever.
