14,500-Mile Update in our Long Term 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid

2025/03/01

Our 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid is plowing through a very cold winter here in the Mid-Atlantic, and fuel economy remains just on the good side of where it should be for Touring trim, averaging 45.4 mpg over 7 months and 14,500 miles.

It’s the time of year here in Maryland where we experience winter’s chill in the morning and spring’s warmth in the afternoon, which means this Accord’s climate controls are getting a workout. Thankfully, Honda stuck with these nice, big knobs to control temperature rather than relying solely on the touch screen, which is unfortunately becoming the norm these days.

A few drivers have recently made note of the Accord Hybrid’s unique braking feel, which gives us an opportunity to dive into this fourth gen of Honda’s hybrid system a little deeper.

Regen braking is nothing new for hybrids of course, but this system ups the game by delivering six levels of adjustment, more than most EVs, enabling you to dial-in the amount of regen you want with the paddle-like switches on the steering wheel. This allows you to fine tune operation to deliver the driving experience you’re looking for, even getting very close to EV-like one-pedal driving.

Regardless of settings, the Accord Hybrid is a great way to enjoy driving and still feel like you’re winning the fuel economy game.
