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. |

Wouldn't the Toyota counterpart be the Camry Hybrid? All 3 Prius models are hatches. I do like the looks of the Accord Hybrid , and the MPG 'fits the bill'.

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.

Here's a Motorweek review of the '13 Accord , http://www.motorweek.org/reviews/roa...3_honda_accord . The long term drive is 34.8 m.p.g. with the C.V.T. . The top of the line with the V-6 is $34,000+ .

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. So in order to get these amazing numbers, Honda had to jam a huge battery in the back. It's too bad that there's this compromise.
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...), but is a little cheaper so it's really the only comparable choice.
