So far so good, question about Battery Gauge
Just picked up my Accord Hybrid Touring edition a few days ago. Quiet, smooth, reasonable power. I have a question to you other owners. I can't get my hybrid battery gauge above 6 bars, and gas mileage above 40 MPG Does your gauge go to the full 8 bars? I'd like to know before I ask the dealer. Came out of a Mercedes E350, not the same standard of luxury, but I love all the techno gadgets.
Bye to Lexus GS, Hello Honda Accord Hybrid Touring.
I recently owned the Lexus GS AWD 2013 model, but upon learning of the Honda Accord Hybrid touring model, options, styling and reviews, not to mention MPG, I swapped. This new gen Honda is shockingly high end on the inside and outside. If you ignore the badging, you likely would think you were in a something from Acura, Lexus, or possibly Audi. The features and so rich and high end. I was only test driving for fun because of the MPG and I was instantly sold. The tech inside of the this touring model includes a very feature rich GPS, massive connectivity features via bluetooth with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the wife's 5s. The Adaptive Cruise is outragous and the blind spot monitor!!!

Honda Did a Good Job on the New Accord Hybrid
Honda has done a good job on their latest Accord Hybrid. It is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the original HAH. Our other car is a 2013 Camry Hybrid XLE and the new HAH has a slightly better ride (feel and sound level) but looks and feels much more luxurious. The HAH trunk appears to be noticeably smaller than the TCH even though it is stated as only 0.5 CF smaller. The USB audio interface in the EX-L model is totally unusable, to the point we said we wouldn't purchase that model without immediately replacing the head unit. The I/F on the Touring is better but still not up to that in others' products. The HAH is much more expensive than its gas counter part than the TCH.
Running great at 224,000 miles
Don't worry about the battery dying on you. I have one of the highest mileage ones out there at 224k and the battery is in great health. I can easily crack 50 MPG on ~60 MPH roads in a very hilly area. Meanwhile, my mom's Ford Fusion hybrid averaged 42 MPG its entire life before its engine blew (with perfect maintenance) just over 150k miles. Though it was reliable until then, I think the Honda wins!

Great MPG, comfortable, some tech weaknesses
We purchased the 2014 Accord Hybrid shortly after its Oct 2013 arrival at a local dealer, attracted by its 'new' hybrid technology & claimed mileage. Only the Touring trim level was available at the time, but we bought it anyway. We owned this car for over 2 years and nearly 50K of daily driving, mostly highway. Over that time and distance, we enjoyed combined driving mileage of around 42 mpg, with a high in the 60's and a low in the low 30's, depending on location (terrain), speeds, etc. With an ample gas tank, we had ~700 mile range between fill-ups and spent way less time and money at the gas station. The car was truly spacious and comfortable. Beyond the comfort and mpg factors, we enjoyed the fact that the Accord Hybrid looks like every other Accord on the road - no geeky look like the Prius or other 'green' cars. The build-quality is solid, the design generally fine. We traded the car when gas prices plummeted by the end of 2015 and after some of the fancy electronics of the Touring trim level were damaged in an everyday encounter with some very small road kill that threw the car's under-bumper sensor out of position and useless. Honda refused to acknowledge poor design and wanted over $1K for 'repairs.' We said 'no' and traded the car. To be fair, the trade was not only because of the poor placement of the sensor package under the front bumper, but also because we didn't want to face an expensive battery exchange (battery warranty in our state was only 80K miles) and because the combination of many vehicles in the market now available with routine combined mpg over 30 with (now) low gas prices at the pump. We would still recommend the upcoming 2018 'redesign' of the Accord Hybrid, but not the Touring level trim. At that trim level, you are forced to purchase fragile technology such as lane-change warning sensors, auto-brake sensors, etc. that are terribly vulnerable in daily driving and very expensive to fix. If possible, recommend the EX trim level or below, and without all of these 'smart' additions. Gas prices may be relatively low now, but they are on the way back up in the next year or two, IMHO. And the affordable plug-in electric cars still don't have a useful driving range, especially for rural or semi-rural daily use. Kudos to Honda for offering Android Auto and/or Apple Car Play interfaces, however, so you can just use the smart phone you already have for navigation, etc. without having to spend $3K for an inferior manufacturer's OEM navigation package.
