As a result, the Honda Accord Hybrid delivers a sportier and more pleasing driving experience for Connecticut Honda motorists.
Electric Motor
Proudly built in the United States at the Honda Transmission Plant in Russells Point, Ohio, the all-new two-motor hybrid-electric power unit features two larger and more powerful electric motors that are now mounted side-by-side, rather than the in-line configuration of previous generations, producing more torque, more efficiently.
Gasoline Motor
Twenty-one miles to the west, the all-new, redesigned 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine is now being produced at the Honda Engine Plant in Anna, Ohio. All the major components of this workhorse have been improved, including the engine block that features stronger main bearing caps, cylinder head, crank, connecting rods and camshafts.
Honda Accord Hybrid
The all-new 2023 Honda Accord stands alone as America's best-selling car over the last five decades and has revitalized the midsize sedan class with an elegant and sophisticated design that offers an available advanced hybrid-electric system that's more responsive with 204 combined system horsepower for a sporty yet refined driving experience. Available in six distinctive trim levels, including the hybrid-powered Sport, EX-L, Sport-L and Touring, Accord's 4th-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain churns out 247 lb.-ft of torque, making them the most powerful hybrids ever produced by Honda.
Sporting longer and sleeker proportions and a broader stance as part of Honda's push towards lower, leaner design lines and a powerful front end, America's most popular sedan backs up its sleek new looks with more confident and refined dynamics, improved responsiveness, and a more fun-to-drive personality.
Inside its well-appointed cabin, Connecticut Honda drivers will find a new sporty and modern interior that features high-quality materials and must-have available tech features including Honda's largest touchscreen ever, Honda's first integration of Google built-in for seamless on-the-go connectivity plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
Sullivan Honda invites you to come to our Torrington CT Honda dealership to check out the award-winning performance, style and value of the new Honda Accord Hybrid and see for yourself why this outstanding midsize sedan has won the hearts of the nation.
