2018 Honda Accord Hybrid The First Look

2018 Honda Accord Hybrid the first look - Short of small “Hybrid” badges on the front fenders, not much on the car’s exterior says it's powered by electrons. There’s no plug-in variant for now (a role reserved to the Clarity Plug-In sedan), and the latest hybrid Accord is built alongside other Accords in Ohio this time around.

Even the battery packs, which have been moved from the trunk to underneath the rear seats, don't intrude the way like they used to. Will buyers miss having less trunk space than other Accords?

Honda let us take the mid-size hybrid sedan for a quick spin around the brilliant hills of New Hampshire. The very early, pre-production model gave us hints of what’s to come when the sedan goes on sale early next year—but only hints.

From the wheelbase to the headroom, it’s brand-spanking new. New engines, new (for the Accord) transmission, new suspension, new trim level, new fake wood, and new real leather. On the outside, the car is less complacent than the prior generation. It’s no longer satisfied with a glance and an acknowledgment that it is indeed in traffic and you must obey the applicable right-of-way laws. It will now require a moment of your time to see it as a serious automobile. 100% LED lighting, all around, on all trim levels. Large grille up front. Tires pushed to the corners. Millimeters taken off the overall length and height of the 2017 model and transferred to the width.

Honda calls it “aggressive” styling. But this is still a Honda, and it has manners. “Assertive?” No doubt. But aggressive? Leave that to lesser machines. You’ll have no trouble picking out the “waterline” running the length of the car from fender to trunk. This feature also is prominent on the nosecones of modern stealth aircraft. And that’s a pretty decent analogy for this Accord’s design. If you’re close enough to notice, it’s far too late to ignore.

The new Accord will offer a 1.5L turbocharged engine, a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 2.0L hybrid. There’s not a 6-cylinder in the bunch. On the transmission side, your choices are a Continuously Variable Transmission available only with the 1.5L Turbo, a 10-speed automatic available only with the 2.0L Turbo, and a 6-speed manual available for either flavor. While the CVT was mated to a traditional console shifter, the 10-speed (and the hybrid) offered me a selection of push-buttons and a finger switch to instruct the transmission on its current assignment. I found it non-intuitive and sort of a waste of space. Either give me a shifter to grab or move the buttons out of the way for a phone bay or bigger cupholders.
