8,500-Mile Update in our Long Term 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid

Another month, another thousand miles driven in our 2024 Honda Accord long-term, which brings the total to 8,500 miles.

Climbing almost as quickly is our hybrid’s average fuel economy, which sees another boost, now up to 46.7 mpg. Not entirely surprising as fuel-efficiency has been a major part of the Accord experience since it first arrived here in the U.S. in the 1970s.

We’ve commented before on this 11th-gen Accord’s sleek coupe-like shape, but we’ll give a special shout out to our Touring’s 19-inch black and machine-finish wheels as they recently got some props from a fellow holiday shopper in a crowded parking lot.

With the wheels in motion, our test drivers are giving props too. Of particular note, now that the roads are filled with holiday traffic, is the Accord’s low-speed manners. Despite all the stop and go, the hybrid operation is still seamless, and that’s with the gas engine kicking on more now that it’s cold outside. So, it makes going to the store this time of year a tiny bit more tolerable.

The 204-horsepower 2.0-liter I4-based Hybrid is exclusive to the Accord’s higher trim levels, and the interior environment of our Touring feels fully onboard with that mission. But with holiday travel, we have been hauling a few more people around than usual, and several passengers have noted that the sloping roofline does make for a low entry into the rear seats. Though plenty of comfort and space awaits those that didn’t call “shotgun” in time.
