In recent weeks, almost every automaker in the United States has announced a price increase each time it releases a 2020 model year version of current vehicles. It’s not entirely surprising, although consumers would surely prefer not having to deal with higher rates, if possible.
But swimming against the tide is the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid, which has remained frugal with a price bump of only $150.
The hybrid car will retain its 48-mpg combined rating for the coming model year and includes a wide array of features across all trim levels. It will also be partly powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four engine that makes 212 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque.
According to official pricing recently released by Honda, the reliable sedan’s 2020 price tag only went up by $150, including the premium trim Accord Hybrid Touring whose non-hybrid version increased by at least $1,110. The highest price bump given to a model in the Accord Hybrid lineup is $350.
For the 2020 model year, the entry-level Accord Hybrid has a starting price of $26,400. A basic package includes push-button start, dual-zone climate control, and active-safety features.
Meanwhile, the EX trim now costs $30,300, the EX-L trim $32,800, and the Touring trim $36,700—all inclusive of the $930 destination charge. Among the trim levels in the Accord Hybrid lineup, the EX variant is the most tech-savvy with its 8-inch touchscreen unit that also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Interested buyers would also be thrilled to know that the hybrid sedans are now equipped with a federally mandated alert noise that goes off when the car runs exclusively on electric power at low speeds.
Both the hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the 2020 Honda Accord are now available at dealership lots.
