The Accord is the best hybrid sedan in the midsize segment.

An affordable car can be enjoyable to drive and make drivers look respectable. That’s what the Honda Accord has done for 50 years and 11 generations, because it's a name everyone knows and trusts. Less well known is the Accord Hybrid, which makes up only 30% of Accord sales due to its higher starting price. Honda hasn't made the Accord all-hybrid like the Toyota Camry, so the gas-only LX and SE trims continue to lead in sales. But if buyers have wiggle room in their budgets for an MSRP between $35,000 and $40,000, they'll find more amenities and performance, plus fuel efficiency that tops 50 mpg in a near-perfect package.

Verdict: With the current-generation hybrid, the Accord is still writing the book on refinement and style for less.

9/10

We think the current Accord looks expensive on the outside. At its 2023 debut, we compared the curvaceous body and clean, uncluttered overall design to the Audi A7 which retailed for double the price of a base Accord Hybrid. That holds true for 2026, and even more so as luxury brands have traded classiness for tackiness. Honda knows how to cut a profile while keeping manufacturing costs to a minimum. The Accord Hybrid's low shoulder line evokes the grace of a rear-wheel drive (RWD) car; all the drivetrain components that would ordinarily raise the hood on a front-wheel-drive (FWD) car like this are positioned lower to the ground. The hood is below the waist height of an average driver and gracefully tapers to the front fascia, along with two leading lines connecting the top edges of the grille. Even the sides of the hood have defined edges that add muscle.

It's a simple and memorable fascia, too, with slim headlights and thin DRLs, and the most basic of lower air intakes with a few accents of matte silver and an unfussy grille with a polished black surround. The tail is short and echoes the lines of a fastback—hence our comparison to the A7—and the taillights look stately. Park the Accord Hybrid next to a Mercedes-Benz E-Class with three-pointed star icons in the lights—one is tasteful, the other is garish. Right now, few if any automakers are exercising restrained design as well as Honda.

For 2026, the Sport and Sport-L trims add black window trim and black badges on the trunk to complement the existing black trim on the mirrors and antenna. Other than that, the handsome exterior styling carries over.

The interior is more pedestrian but still holds up. We think it's too similar to the Civic Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid cabins, but Honda applies sturdy, grained plastics, expensive-feeling switches and controls including the air vent toggles, and on our Touring trim, padded leatherette surfaces on the door arm rests, the center console, and the lower dash. The matte plastic strip below the touchscreen, which houses a tiny volume knob, is the cheapest-looking part of the interior. The thickness of the steering wheel, the padding of the seats, and the minimal application of gloss black plastic trim are just right. There are $60,000 cars on sale that don't feel or look this good. Many automakers are losing their way and losing touch with their customers, but not Honda.
