As you\u2019ll hear above, pretty darn far. We\u2019re estimating over 600 miles. Plus, it\u2019s no slow-poke. The 2017 Accord Hybrid\u2019s electric motor puts more than enough torque down to slip through that small gap across a crowded street. It accelerates from 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, which is half a second faster than the base Honda Accord, and 3.6 seconds faster than a Toyota Prius.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid is the mid-sized sedan for someone who\u2019s conscious of how much fuel they\u2019re consuming, but doesn\u2019t care if other people know it. It\u2019s a good-looking sedan with more to it than meets the eye. Some people will like that, and other won\u2019t. All we know is, Honda\u2019s done it again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2978 size-full\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2017-Honda-Accord-Hybrid-10_medium-e1468558016152.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Honda Accord Hybrid\" width=\"668\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2017-Honda-Accord-Hybrid-10_medium-e1468558016152.jpg 668w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2017-Honda-Accord-Hybrid-10_medium-e1468558016152-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s that time of the week again!
