Great MPG... Horrible ride (Surging & Pausing)

By R Scott written on Jul 17, 2015

I bought the new 2015 Accord Hybrid for it's fuel economy, and it that aspect of the car does not disappoint. However, I was unaware of just how disappointingly choppy the car's ride would be when the it's software switches between electric engine and gas engine... especially when driving faster than 40 MPH at constant speed. I failed to realize this during the original test drive because I only drove it on the freeway for about one mile (and in heavy afternoon traffic). In short, (whether using cruise control or not) the 2015 Accord Hybrid will intermittently pause and then surge whenever the electric engine disengages from action at speeds north of 35-40 MPH. This is both annoying and disconcerting since it results in a choppy ride. I took my new Accord Hybrid to the dealer service folks twice for this problem. The first time, I was told to stop using the ECON mode if I wanted a smoother ride. The second time, I insisted on speaking with the service tech. Here's the exact verbiage from the service ticket: "NFP test drove the vehicle and verified customers concern. Took snap shots during the event of the PGM-FI system... etc.. After review of all the snap shot data was sent it was determined that it is the normal operation of this vehicle." That's a pretty poor response from Honda. I've always be partial to Honda products... but with the Accord Hybrid: Let the buyer beware.

Great car with some qalifications

By Corey Isenberg written on Mar 16, 2015

First if all entertainment system sounds great, DD player is essentially useless other than to play CD's, will not save anything. Playing with flash drive is cumbersome, I bought an iPod Nano and it is infinitely easier. Honda needs some new engineers, this is unacceptable. Dealer shrugged his shoulders so I'll try once more then contact Honda directly. Car handles great, reasonably quiet when not accelerating (pronounced whine). Mileage very temperature dependent, heater is electric, heater warming cab, no EV.

Some great features and some that need a little work

I have owned my 2015 Accord Hybrid Touring for about 4 months now. It is a beautiful car from the outside and I have received loads of compliments from friends and neighbors. The interior is also nice looking and several friends love riding along with me in it. Honda hasn't done much yet to provide any videos explaining the numerous advanced features of the car and I know that I would find that helpful. From reading other's reviews, I can tell that many owners don't understand how the drive train works. For example, it is an electrically powered car until about 45mph at which point, the direct lockup transmission connects the gas powered engine to drive the front wheels.

My MPG Experience

By new_accord written on Apr 13, 2015

I purchased a 2015 Accord Hybrid EX-L in January 2015. Overall, I have been very pleased with my purchase to date. Foremost is the great gas mileage. What I have observed as weather has warmed, my gas mileage has improved. I commute mostly interstate for 17 miles one way. This past week I have been averaging closer to 60 MPG every trip. Lowest being 57.4, highest being 62.1 MPG. I have observed setting the cruise control helps (around 60 mph). In cooler months, averages were upper 40s to low 50s mpg. Notably, my mileage is pretty close to my daughter's new Prius. The Accord, however is a much larger, handsome, comfortable and overall impressive car.

Honda over states gas mileage to sell this car

By Bob doremus written on Sep 21, 2015

I have owned this car for 3 months and driven 5000 miles, both highway and city, in good weather. I have never reset trip B since I purchased car, the computer gas mileage for the 5000 miles on trip B is only 38.2mpg, also have never gotten over 38 mpg when monitoring at each fill up, in fact mpg is as low as 35 mpg. We have the economy button on and drive very conservatively, still only 38 mpg. Far from the 50 mpg city and 47 mpg overall. Obviously they are not being honest with their customers and they know it, I'm sure I'm only one of many that have complained to them. Had I known this, I would have just purchased a non hybrid Honda Accord, which would probably not be far off on mpg I'm actually getting with the hybrid. Also when accelerating on any type of grade under 40 mph, the engine revs and the feeling is like a slipping transmission or clutch.
