2026 Honda Accord Hybrid: Our Favorite Features and Tech

Bose audio: The top Touring trim of the Honda Accord Hybrid includes a Bose premium sound system with 12 speakers and Centerpoint surround-sound technology. In our testing, we found it to be a big upgrade over the 8-speaker setup in the lower trims. This is one of many premium features that make the Touring trim worth the cost.

Honda Sensing: The Honda Accord earns the top 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In addition to its excellent crash-test ratings, the Accord earns these top safety scores thanks to its Honda Sensing suite of driver-assistance technology features. It bundles features like automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control to make every drive a little safer and more relaxed.

Hybrid powertrain: What Honda calls its two-motor hybrid system achieves an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. With 204 hp and up to 48 mpg in mixed driving, getting the hybrid doesn’t feel like a compromise anymore.

Infotainment system: The Accord Hybrid’s 12.3-inch infotainment system impresses with its speed and user-friendliness. The top Touring trim includes Google Assistant and Google Maps, so setting the cabin temperature and entering a destination into the navigation can all be done with voice commands. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard across the board.
