- TORRANCE, Calif.
WardsAuto has named the Honda Accord Hybrid two-motor hybrid powertrain to its 2019 Wards 10 Best Engines list. Lauding both its fuel efficiency and its responsiveness, plus the seamless and quiet way power is delivered to the Accord Hybrid's drive wheels, WardsAuto also commented on the model's affordability.
The 2019 Accord Hybrid is powered by the third generation of Honda's innovative two-motor hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC® Atkinson-cycle inline-4 engine with 40-percent thermal efficiency to an electric propulsion motor that churns out 232 lb.-ft. of torque for a class-leading total system output of 212 horsepower. The Accord two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission.
