The 2023 Accord: Hybrid vs. Gas

As the latest in a long line of class-leading midsize sedans, the redesigned 2023 Honda Accord raises the bar higher than ever. Not only is it spacious, refined, and easy to drive, but it also promises a terrific balance between power and efficiency, thanks to a pair of exemplary engine choices.

The Gasoline Engine

The 2023 Honda Accord model's gasoline engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's rated at 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. Standard on the entry-level 2023 Honda Accord LX and the 2023 Honda Accord EX at Gillman Honda San Antonio,

This engine offers smoothness for any commute, plenty of power for highway merging and passing, and great all-around gas mileage. Moreover, thanks to a retune, the acceleration offered by this gas engine is better than any previous iteration.

The Hybrid Engine

A 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder hybrid engine is equipped on the midrange and high-end 2023 Honda Accord trims at our Honda dealership. Like the gasoline engine, this powertrain received a retune that allows the hybrid system to sustain the car at higher speeds - an upgrade that makes it even more efficient.

Comprised of dedicated hybrid components and an electric motor, this powertrain is capable of 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque and integrates three driving modes: Sport, ECON, and Individual.

Traits Shared by Both Engines

Although these engines have a different design approach, when you test drive them at our Honda dealership, you'll see that they have some things in common. Both equip a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive (FWD), as well as a new motion management system. This system relies on steering input to automatically adjust the car's deceleration, which in turn improves control and traction.

Additionally, these new Honda cars both feature a front suspension that's tuned for low-friction steering, and a rear suspension designed to minimize road vibration. Plus, the cabin is quieter than ever thanks to additional insulation that blocks out virtually all road noise.
