Official: 2014 Accord Hybrid rated 50 MPG city (45 highway)!
![]() Truly impressive! Makes me really want one. I already love the regular Accord but 47 MPG combined is killer. Toyota really has to raise the bar on the next Prius if a conventionally shaped mid-size sedan can come so close to the wedge shaped fuel sipper. ![]() |

The Camry Hybrid is rated 43/39 for comparison. Toyota could've achieved the Accord's numbers but decided to make the Camry a fast and powerful hybrid. They also probably didn't want to impede on the Prius' territory either. |

Still waiting on pricing but Hershey is probably in the right ballpark. Hopefully it starts as low as $27K or so. Camry and Fusion Hybrid is around there.

Will it save you $5000 over the life of the car? Unlike the Prius/Yaris situation its the same car. I guess people want to get better mpg even if its costing them money. I admit I would like to roll up 50 mpg around town.

One major setback for the Accord H is the trunk. It's a tiny 8 cu ft. That's just a little more than half the size of the standard model. No family road trips in this thing.
![]() I guess for overall space w/super MPG the Prius is still the winner with its hatch configuration. |

just read it's starting at $29,155(not including dest). while more expensive than the camry hybrid($26ish) the mileage is much better(47 combined vs. 41). the fusion hybrid gets same mileage(or so they say...
