If your week mixes freeway miles on the 15 with errands around Victorville, Hesperia, and Apple Valley, the Honda Accord Hybrid is built for that mix. Here is what Honda lists for its two-motor hybrid system, fuel economy, and cabin technology, and what to ask us before you visit.

Fuel economy

Honda lists different EPA ratings by trim. The EX-L Hybrid has the highest rating, and Honda lists it with 17-inch wheels while the other three trims use 19-inch wheels.

Trim Wheels City / Highway / Combined (mpg)
Sport Hybrid 19-inch 46 / 41 / 44
EX-L Hybrid 17-inch 51 / 44 / 48
Sport-L Hybrid 19-inch 46 / 41 / 44
Touring Hybrid 19-inch 46 / 41 / 44

Based on 2026 EPA mileage ratings. Use for comparison purposes only. Your mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle, driving conditions, battery pack age and condition, and other factors.

Honda does not publish a driving range for the Accord Hybrid, so here is simple arithmetic from its 12.8-gallon tank: at 44 combined mpg that works out to roughly 563 miles, and at 48 combined mpg roughly 614 miles. That is a calculation, not a rating, and real-world range depends on speed, load, terrain, and temperature. It gives you a sense of how a run from Victorville to Las Vegas or Los Angeles could look.

  • Drive modes: Honda lists Sport, Normal, and ECON modes on the hybrid trims, plus an Individual mode for custom settings.
