Honda Accord Hybrid First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali18 Oct 2016

The Accord Hybrid is Honda India’s first full-fat premium offering in years. It is also the brand’s maiden attempt at giving an eco-friendly alternative to the diesel brigade from the Germans. That being said, it mainly rivals the Toyota Camry Hybrid which has been bit of a lone ranger in the Indian market for quite some time. Now Honda, as we know, has bet a lot on hybrid technology. The latter in fact is part of Honda’s modern DNA and can be seen in several models globally. For the Indian market, Honda decided to introduce its latest hybrid tech with the ninth-gen Accord. We took it out for a quick spin to tell you if going green has helped its cause.
