Jil McIntosh had this to say about the 2023 Honda Accord at AutoTrader.ca:
“The 2023 Honda Accord hybrid is a very pleasant vehicle to drive. I find it preferable to the gas-only version by virtue of that switch from gas to battery, which is very smooth and generally seamless, and that when you need passing power, the combined 247 lb-ft of torque is more than the 192 lb-ft from the gas model.
The steering is responsive, and light enough that it’s easy to get it around tight parking lots. It takes curves very well, and while some regenerative braking systems can result in harsh brake pedal feel, the Honda brakes smoothly and quickly. Hybrids have a pedestrian warning sound at low electric-only speeds, and the Accord’s is a lovely one that sounds like a church choir.”
