The Chevette was better than the Viva!

This type of hybrid is kinda what I been waiting for... the rest have been at best for performance, where this thing has true range. Just refill the tank, go another 600 miles! Locomotives use this style of drivetrain (roughly) where an ICE engine generates electricity to power torquey electric motors.

988 km on a gas tank ... pretty interesting setup! Your car reviews are truly excellent. I don't know how or when it happened but suddenly you're my "go to" car reviewer!!

Proof that you present these cars better than anyone else. I must have watched half a dozen reviews of the new Accord before this one, and not until *you* explained everything did I realize what the whole propulsion system was about. All I did before this was complain about the loss of the 2.0T. Now I'm actually very interested in this as a daily driver. Also, you're not old! My Game Boy was a Coleco Football handheld game. 🤯

This is an interesting take on a hybrid. I like the idea of the engine being mostly decoupled from the propulsion and being used primarily for power generation. (Cruise ships do the same thing.) It also means the electric bits are useful even if the engine is not. Could mean the difference of limping to a shop, versus waiting 3 hours for a tow truck. I like it a lot, and might actually own one of these someday. Thanks for showing it off, Sarah! 👍

This is also how most modern train locomotives work. The diesel engine is there to generate power for the traction motors and onboard electronics. This makes emissions much easier to control since the engine really only needs to run at one RPM for which you can optimize all the emissions reduction systems. This also makes it so that the train can be converted to electric by adding a pantograph (collector pole).

@@BryceNewall It's a Honda; I would expect nothing less than excellence. I've just been a bit of a downer on the subject of hybrids. Always felt they were a bit of a hack while we worked out EVs, especially since the electric side wasn't usable if the main engine goes down. Honda seems to have specifically addressed that consideration, which might be enough to change my mind when I'm next in the market.

@Gary I was disappointed in their choice to remove the 2.0T engine. I was also dismayed when they discontinued the 6-speed manual transmission option in 2021. I can understand why, as it only accounted for a small percentage of sales, but I was still disappointed. (Perhaps part of the reason for discontinuing the manual was also so they could incorporate engine start/stop technology. But I would think you could incorporate that with a manual as well.) They're trying to steer people towards the hybrid models by only offering the higher-end trims, like the Sport and Touring, in hybrid. With everyone buying trucks, SUVs, and crossovers these days, it's probably hard for them to justify producing so many different trims of a 4-door sedan. Don't let the HP number fool you, though... torque is the more important figure, and with 247 ft-lbs, it out-performs the regular 1.5T (192 HP/192 ft-lb), although it would be smoked by the 2.0T (252 HP/272 ft-lb).

I test drove these at my last job and I absolutely loved them. They are the perfect size, power level, comfort level...I felt like I was chilling on my couch which had a ton of low end power. haha If I could afford cars that cost more than $10k this would be on the shortlist for sure!

Super Thanks. The swerves you do from old inexpensive sports cars to boss go-anywhere vehicles and deep dives too - is amazing.

Just put a deposit on one yesterday. This was the most thorough review on YT. Those of us that wrench on our own vehicles sincerely appreciate the underbody shots and the engine bay being shown in detail. Thanks!

Hi Sarah, it is very similar to my own car, 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE. I am an Uber and Lyft driver, automotive service tech student, and also U.S. Air Force veteran. I was also stationed at Ramstein Air Base back in 2004-2006. If my car ever dies (~75K miles), I can consider this one as a contender! Thanks for the review and keep making great content!

I really like the overall design, escpecially the interior looks sleek. I think this is one of the best looking cars on the market right now and it drives miles further than any true EV would! That just goes to show how the future could look like, if you let engineers decide

You certainly have a unique take on the car. I’ve watched quite a few review videos of the 2023 Accord Hybrid and I learned a lot that other people never even mentioned. I appreciate your work!

This is an amazing piece of technology. Thank you for showing. And I’m right there with you on cars being cars. I was able to drive an eleventh gen Civic Sport as a rental car for 600 miles and fell in love with it. I climbed back into my 2018 six speed manual HR-V after and it felt so far removed tech wise.

Hi Sarah I love your Car Reviews it really brings Joy to my heart ❤

This was a super satisfying review. Such a clean simple car. Its nice to see car styling sobering up.

That is the best explanation of the weird powertrain of this car in any review. Thanks.

Hi Sarah. Thanks. We love your car reviews!✌️

First it was the Station Wagon, replaced by the Mini Van, replaced by the SUV. I like the SUVs with truck DNA. Such a large umbrella for SUVs. I don't regard many SUVs as SUVs at all. I'm with Sarah! Bring back the cars! Interesting power system on this Honda!

No Sarah, you are not old but I thank you for your knowledge of older cars.

You are Awesome! Love your humor and knowledge of the vehicles. Thank you.

12:33 In a "Just Rolled In" video, a customer brought in their car to a mechanic because they changed the colour settings on the dash and the car stayed the same colour.

Hi Sarah, I’m convinced you do the best car reviews. Lots of info and a lot of fun. This Accord is pretty neat. I’d prefer that over an EV.

Thank you for your comment about the black leather seats and the sun! We live in the Fla and I absolutely refuse to have a car with a black interior. If I could guarantee that we'd always be able to park out of the sun I might do it but, no guarantee, no black interior! You can't even rely on cracking a window to let some heat out since you never know when you might come back to your car and find it pouring rain!

Thanks for the review of a sedan. And yes the black leather has the same summer effect here in Phoenix.

Honda's used to sell well in Australia, but there was a long period when they didn't even bother to sell the Accord, as it couldn't compete with Toyota. Now 90% of Honda dealerships have gone and the end is near for the brand here.

Hi Sarah! Thanks for another great review. :) I own a 2022 Accord EX-L hybrid myself and I love it. You mentioned no ventilation or charging in the back... Those don't come on the Sport or Sport-L; you have to step up to an EX-L or Touring to get those. Touring also gives you ventilated front seats, and a few other goodies. Mileage-wise, the EX-L will give you about 5 MPG better due to having smaller 17" wheels. For 2023, Honda took some features away from the EX-L and made them only available on the Touring (Boooooo!), such as wireless Qi charging, HD Radio, and a better sound system with subwoofer. The drivetrain on my 2022 is pretty much the same as the 2023, except that it has 8 more HP but 15 fewer ft-lbs of torque. I came from a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T with the 6-speed manual. When I was going for a hybrid, it was down to a Camry or Accord, and I went with an Accord because I was familiar with it and knew I'd like it. :) And I'm not sorry! It's also interesting that for 2023, they changed the shifter back to the same physical shifter you get in the non-hybrid LX and EX trims with the 1.5T engine. From 2018-2022, the 2.0T with the 10AT had a push-button gear selector, as did the hybrids.
