Honda Accord Hybrid boasts 50 mpg in 2014 model

Honda is giving us a real treat with its 2014 50-mpg Accord Hybrid, set to go on sale Halloween of this year. This well-equipped Accord Hybrid will be offered with a choice of three different grades with a suggested retail price ranging from $29,945 to $35,695 including destination.

The LX, Sport and EX/EX-L sedan models will feature an In-Line 4-Cylinder engine, as well as the LX-S, EX and EX-L coupe models. The EX-L touring sedan and EX-L coupe will feature a V-6 engine.

All 2014 Accord Hybrid models will be equipped with standard features such as Honda's LaneWatch blind spot display system, a premium feature Honda claims is not available in any other competitive hybrids on the market. It also gets a rearview camera, LED daytime running lights, expanded view driver's mirror, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

If you're willing to spend a little more, the Accord Hybrid EX-L offers even more advanced safety technologies. Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning are just a few of the features the extras the EX-L model has to offer.

The top-of-the-line Accord Hybrid will add the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition and FM traffic data, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and hard disk drive audio memory.

The 2014 Accord Hybrids most impressive feature has to be the company's claimed 50 mpg city/45 mpg highway/47 mpg combined, making it one of the more competitive hybrid four-door sedans on the road today.
