Loved by reviewers and buyers alike, the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid maintains a stellar reputation. Notably agile, responsive, and intuitive, it embodies much of what makes compact crossovers a standout class. But what makes it such an excellent model in an already outstanding series?
Following a light redesign in 2021, the 2022 Accord cements Honda's focus on efficiency and modern comforts. The interior is noticeably roomy and the Hybrid takes the gas-only Accord's fuel economy to the next level.
Available in four unique trims, the 2022 Accord Hybrid isn't limited to class-leading fundamentals. There's a configuration for every kind of driver, from the new performance-minded Sport trim to the luxury Touring.
It all starts with the standard model. The 2022 Accord Hybrid presents the right balance of base features for buyers to tailor the driving experience they want. It's sharp on the road, efficient, and fitted with a well-curated list of tech features in the cabin.
Before we break down each trim level, here's what you can look forward to in the standard Hybrid.
2022 Accord Hybrid Specs
Powered by a 192hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, you'd be forgiven for thinking Honda sacrificed performance for economy. In reality, the understated base engine highlights how the 2022 Accord Hybrid is built to maximize every inch of its engineering.
Paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), the hybrid powertrain provides smooth acceleration. Going from 0-60 in 7.6 seconds is worth noting here. For a mid-size sedan that offers so much value over long distances, it isn't shy off the line either.
The handling is composed, and the strut/multi-link suspension ensures it's stable going around corners. Buyers can also opt for the 2.0-liter Inline-4 Hybrid engine in the standard model. Producing 212-hp, there's a noticeable performance boost - transferred just as efficiently to the FWD drivetrain.
Whichever option you opt for, the result is the same - a fun, sprightly driving experience that you can enjoy for miles and miles.
2022 Honda Accord Hybrid MPG
That extended fun on the road comes from the Accord's impressive mileage. The 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid offers 48 MPG in the city. More impressive is how it does outside city limits. At 47 MPG on the freeway, there's barely a drop off in fuel economy at cruising speeds.
The standard 2022 Accord Hybrid makes the most of a 12.8-gallon fuel tank. The Sport and Touring still post 40+ MPGs, but the base configuration is the standout option for those who want the most mileage.
2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Interior
Now for the interior of this comfortable 5-seater Sedan. With spacious seating, a cushioned ride, and elegant cabin design, comfort is the keyword here. The 2022 Accord Hybrid offers 16.77 cubic feet of cargo space - equal to its gas-only counterpart.
Fitted with dual-zone automatic climate control and an 8-inch touchscreen, there's a good balance of relaxed and modern. The standard tech features complement the good build quality and spacious layout.
Other standard features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy smartphone link-ups. That's great for navigation and entertainment, but buyers can also opt for an onboard navigation system and wireless charging port as add-ons.
2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Safety
An assessment of the Hybrid wouldn't be complete without mentioning Honda's outstanding record with the line. The 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid earned a five-star safety rating in the four main categories used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This means top scores in:
- Overall rating
- Frontal crash
- Side crash
- Rollover
This should be no surprise, given that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2021 Accord Hybrid a Top Safety Pick+. This year's model has the same standard safety features that earned its predecessor the IIHS's highest honor, including:
- Forward collision warning
- Automatic emergency braking
- Road departure mitigation
- Rearview camera
- Road sign recognition

Inside, WiFi hotspot capability, HUD, and door pull ambient lighting offer subtle but complementary tech upgrades. The outboard rear seats and ventilated front seats are both heated this time.
