Home > Honda Accord Hybrid

The 2005 Accord Hybrid possesses the ability to shut down half of the cylinders when power is not in demand. Honda puts the emphasis on the performance and targets the high-end buyers. Unlike traditional hybrid designs, the new Accord hybrid uses a more powerful engine than its non-hybrid counterpart. Together with the electric motor assist, the hybrid version is a much higher performance car than the regular Accord. Due to its ability to shut down half or all of the cylinders at will, the car still achieves higher fuel economy than its non-hybrid counterpart despite its higher power performance.
