2014 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid was launched in January this year and as of April 2013 had sold around 100 units. The carmaker is taking a limited-market approach to introduce this hybrid vehicle and their goal is to sell just 1,100 units. Main competitors are the Prius Plug-in Hybrid, Ford Fusion Energi, C-Max Energi plug-in hybrids, and Chevrolet Volt.

The 2014 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid car earned 115 miles per gallon equivalent EPA rating for its (limited) 13 miles of estimated all-electric range. This is equal to the combined MPG of the range-topping 2013 Nissan Leaf fully electric car, and beats all other plug-in hybrids, some of which go farther in all-electric mode. Gasoline fuel economy for the Accord plug-in is also impressive at 47 mpg city, 46 highway, 46 combined.

The Accord Plug-In is the first production car in the U.S. to meet the new, more stringent LEV3/SULEV20 emissions standard, and will also qualify for single-occupant carpool-lane access in California.

The 2014 Accord PHEV is powered by an all-new “Honda Earth Dreams technology” two-motor hybrid system. It utilizes a 124-kilowatt (kw) electric motor that also acts like a continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) mated to a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine. A 6.7-kilowatt-hour (kwh) lithium-ion (li-Ion) battery provides power in all-electric mode, and regenerative braking is handled by an all-new electric-servo braking system.

Drivers will have the option to manually select from the default start-up all-electric mode to hybrid mode.

The plug-in Accord can be fully charged from a low-charge indication point in less than three hours using the supplied 120-volt charger when plugged into a standard 120-volt household electrical outlet, and in less than one hour using a 240-volt Level 2 charger.

Honda’s smartphone app, HondaLink EV, will allow owners to remotely monitor the charging state of the car.

The car can be fully charged from a low-charge indication point in less than three hours using the supplied 120-volt charger when plugged into a standard 120-volt household electrical outlet (a dedicated GFCI outlet is recommended). Charge time is less than one hour using a 240-volt “Level-2″ charger.

Apart from the unique powertrain, the Accord plug-in has been engineered to be like other Accords with regards to driving characteristics and creature comforts.

The car is based on the Touring trim level of the standard Accord Sedan but is distinguished with unique styling cues, and is available in three exterior colors, including two standard Accord shades (White Orchid Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl) plus a model-exclusive Burnished Silver Metallic.

Its MSRP is $39,780 excluding tax, license, registration, $790 destination charge and options. A monthly lease price of $429 is also offered for 36 months with $2,499.00 due at time of signing. Honda notes this lease deal “Includes down payments with no security deposit. Excludes taxes, titles and dealer fees.”
