Is the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring the BEST fuel saving mid-size sedan? 

I love, love your humor....😂😂😂❤ I just upgraded from my white Accord Touring Hybrid 2017 to the champagne frost Accord Touring Hybrid 2020. I don"t have no complaints about these top of the line Accords...Upgrade people you only live once. I am a Care Provider and my clients love my car and the color.

Stumbled into this (and some of your other) video(s) when I was car shopping and it was super helpful in my shopping process. Thanks for what you do and keep up the great work!

Car and Driver recently made a Mid-size review comparison. The Honda Accord won 1st place.

I love the consistency of your videos and the humor. You make it so easy for all of us who want to learn.

Dude, I love watching your reviews! The humor is a nice touch! I have a 2020 Accord EX-L. Definitely the best car I've owned. The interior isn't gawdy. It isn't cheap feeling or looking. Honda really nailed it with this one!

Another great review. It’s extra great to see a review of the exact car I own. I love the paddles too. I feel like it will help my brake pads last longer.

Your videos are the best! Keep it going brother!

Definitely prefer this interior over the Camry's. Great video, Joe 👌🏼

A+ review like always Mr.Raiti

I am looking to get this car with that exact same color after I graduate college. Very useful video!

My favorite hybrid sedan! Nice video Joe.

Really like how this man gos into the small details I didnt notice. It helped me actually like this design bc at 1st I hated it.

I love your videos I love the accord . I always support you I like toyota then nissan then honda then acura videos of yours. And all other videos if yours.

thank u for filming this video

Great video review Joe! I purchased a new 2019 base Hybrid Accord 3 weeks ago for $21,500 and LOVE it! In the warm weather I attained the 47 mpg average, and now with the cold snap, letting the car warm up a bit, average is down to 44 mpg, but still impressive! I don’t need to smash the gas for my normal driving, including on ramps and up hills, so it’s amazingly quiet, and very pleasant to drive.

Right on ! More Raitis reviews 😎👉👉

Rear USB is optional, as is the heated steering wheel, both of which I recommend if you negotiate the pricing down on them. Some dealerships want to charge quite a bit and others will do it for next to nothing.

I was just thinking about this car today and boom! Joe provides

Great video!!

I traded my 2013 Honda Accord EX-L for my new 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. I couldn't be happier. I don't know why everybody doesn't move up to the Hybrid technology. There is NO loss of comfort or space in the 2019 vs. the 2013. I will admit that the 2013 had a nicer ride. But..... the 2019 handles way better than the 2013. We have 10,000 miles on our 2019 now. And as of yesterday we have averaged 42 mpg. If I look at trip mpg, I get over 48mpg on many trips. The Hybrid gets it. It has more HP than the 2013 which was 185hp. And it is very quick. I have reduced our gas costs by 40% or more. I did my research. Most of the reviews give the edge to the Honda Hybrid over the Camry Hybrid. This system is totally seamless. You have no idea what is going on unless you monitor it. You feel nothing. The only thing you will notice is more noise when the gas engine is used. Of course there is more noise......... there is none when you are in EV mode. This car has every safety monitoring system you could ask for. Yes............there are probably more, but not sure that would be useful. In 10 years electric cars will be the norm. So why not get ready, save a ton of gas, and reduce CO/CO2 output. I'm in. Very glad I went Hybrid. I need more range in an electric vehicle. So when that happens...........I will go electric.

Thank you. Fair and unbiased view points.

I must “on throttle” at least 10-12 times a day it’s fun in a safe area. This is a gem 💎 of a car for sure 😊

In the long run Accord is probably the best car you can buy

Love the gas mileage on this car. The exterior red is nice. The interior colors are in zonk city. $36k is a bit much for this vehicle. I can get a RAV4 hybrid for less than that. Another great video!!!

As far as mpg my 2020 Accord Hybrid Touring I was getting 50 mpg on flat road driving 65 to 70 on the freeway. I like my car

Hey Raiti, good video like always... but you mention not having the USB in the back.. you can have it in there if you add it during purchase..

I really like the efforts that Honda has done with the hybrid touring model. I agree with you though that with a touring model that they should include connectivity in the back seat. I recently bought a 2019 Civic Sport in the modern steel color bought I would have really preferred the "radiant red" shown here. Sadly they don't even offer it on the Civic. Thumbs up to you Joe, good job.

"Gotcha 3 ways; 3 for 3 ; basses loaded" 🤔💭💀 7:10

I thought the 2020 Accord and CR-V Hybrid did not even have a transmission. Electric Motors up to 45 mph, and then the Engine is engaged along with the Electric motors for everything above 45 mph. It's totally different from what all the other manufacturers are doing with gas hybrids.

Does anyone know if this will be the same engine that will be used in the up coming hybrid CR-V?

I’m getting one this year!

I don’t want to get a hybrid because it’ll save money in gas, I mostly just want it because it helps lessen the carbon footprint.

Great review. I agree with you about the interior. Honda knocked it out of the park there. I consider it to be the benchmark for this class of vehicle. I wish I could say the same for the exterior. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I know this is very subjective, but to me, the car looks bloated, the rear looks droopy, and it's just not a design that I care for. The front looks pretty good, but everything aft of there, not so much. It's too bad, too, because this seems really great car to drive, and it has a lot going for it. I just wish I liked the styling better.

I like the Camry SE Hybrid and the Accord Touring Hybrid. Both cars are winners in my book.

@Raiti's Rides- Are you coming to the S.F international auto show later this month.

I want a Honda Accord turbo charged v8, Wide body. Manual transmission, spoiler, quad exhaust tips.

Not sure I agree about the noise, which you emphasize so much on your Accord hybrid reviews. I've test driven the 1.5 turbo sport as well as the hybrid. The 1.5 turbo has the same cvt transmission as the hybrid and screams as noticeably at full throttle. But its also noisy at slower speeds and at idle, whereas the hybrid is silent. The hybrid is also faster than the 1.5 turbo with the instant continuous acceleration and huge torque of the electric motor. Noise on pedal to the metal accelerations is forgivable. But between the annoying turbo lag and low speed noise and vibration at idle of the 1.5 turbo, I've been pushed in favor of the hybrid, and I wasn't even looking for a hybrid! Better mpg is simply a bonus. Bland wheels is the only "zonk", but that can be changed.

Huh weird. In Canada this exact accord comes with heated steering wheel and two 12v outlets for the back seat.

Looks great in black 🖤

I have a 2017 Accord Hybrid Touring, and I'm waiting to upgrade to the new CR-V Hybrid (supposed to be released early 2020). I have to agree, that sometimes I'm hesitant to floor the pedal because of that CVT sound at max. But, it's something I tolerate. So it has changed my driving habits. I do miss the effortless power of a regular engine when climbing a grade though. But then again, I love the gas mileage. I do like the new version as Raiti just tested here though. Thank goodness they've moved the battery from the trunk to underneath the rear seats. That is one major complaint I have against the 2017 version that I've got now. Glad that they have added ventilated seats, but no rear moveable sunshades like the ones offered in Asia. I rarely use the Sport setting, and just keep it in Eco mode.

Like your humour👍

Didn't mention anything above the base model for Camry Hybrid has the same mileage as this Accord, only the base has the 50+ mpg.

I have a Honda hydride and it really drive nicely and it is fully loaded as well, I wonder when they bring a accord all wheel drive as in Canada it is important to have a all wheel drive

Joe, you can get the two power outlets for the rear seats as a $120 option!

If you want luxury and great gas mileage the accord touring is the way to go. Yes camry has better MPG but with the lower trims. If you add certain packages or get the fully loaded xse it drops the MPG 43/47 vs accords 48/47.

98 more days til I get the 2020 Honda Accord Touring 2.0 😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽 The Accord is soooo beautiful in person! And the taillights are not a bad design

I just leased this car and im very happy. The only thing i do not like is the Hondalink is not perfect and the car doesnt tell you the tpms of your tires.

Rain sensing wipers too

Love the videos. Bought my Toyota because of you.

It's quite weird because in mine at 10:36 it has two USB port on the Hybrid Touring 2019.

Please CRV 2020 review ☺️

That CVT is so much louder than the Camry Hybrid CVT you tested. That alone is enough for me to choose Camry.

Well that broken up chrome strip on the back corners is something I can't unsee. Even left the trough where it should have been. Bizarre! Forgettable looks on the outside but well done interior especially the use of wood. CVT is a complete miss! Looked at Camry and the Honda and feel they come up short. Sonata Hybrid wins!

When r u going to review honda hrv 2020?

I actually love the CVT in my Ford Fusion Hybrid. It is weird at first but you get used to it quickly and nothing is smoother. You want shifting, get a stick!! But this exact Accord is top contender for replacing the Ford. Would have had another Fusion on my list too, but guess what, they don't make them anymore and I'm not going to get the same car for another 3 years (the 2020 is the same design as the 2018. So Ford loses my business.

Very Gorgeous give me two to go

Wait does the power folding mirrors come on the accord hybrid touring or is that’s just how it came

In your opinion is the Touring hybrid’s cabin noticeably quieter than the 2.0 turbo? Thanks.

Is this color closer to maroon?

How does the accord hybrid acceleration compare to internal combustion accord?

I like this car

Nothing about the adaptive suspension on this touring 🤔

Something about newer Honda's that I have to zonk is the side door window trims. Not a fan of the half chrome and half black . I liked it before as chrome all around.

Is that a add-on sticker on the windshield?

I have the 2020 accord hybrid touring and its an amazing car. What i dont understand im getting 47/48mpg and in rare case 74mpg on Sport Mode. Whereas in Eco Mode I only get 38mpg to a high of 40.1mpg. Both in city and freeway in normal driving. I thought in Eco Mode I would get a higher mpg compared to Sport Mode. Can anyone explain why this is?

You really love the Accord no problem with that oddly I’ve been interested in the Accord Touring 2.0t and Ford Mach-E

It’s 2022. Accord owners are trading their 19’s with the 17-inch wheels that came with this model year. With 19-inch on Accord Hybrid, mpg is much less.

Joe! I’d love to see a review of a 2020 Scat Pack Challenger if you can get your hands on one once they hit the dealers. Seriously considering getting one next year! Love your stuff as always!

Love the review! Is there no heated steering wheel, or is that a North American only feature?

It’s good to know that you think this car has a quiet interior. I’m trading up from my 2009 Honda Civic, and the one b-i-g complaint about my Civic is that it is so noisy. If I hear road noise on my test drive, I’ll walk away from the Accord hybrid.

Joe, atomic fireballs or everlasting gob-stoppers? Which ones are you tossing in your center armrest storage console for a Raiti roadtrip?

Probably the longest mordern car. Also well said on the no usb in the back

the dash I don't like how they killed the tach for the information. l like for the tach to be shown at all times

Where is the interior ambient lighting that comes with the 2020 accord hybrid touring as advertised in the Honda website?????????

If I install the 19"Sport Wheels from the Sport Model Accord, how many MPG would I lose?

I was waiting for a car reviewer to mention that Hybrids have better weight balance than the regular FWD versions due to batteries being at the back. But no one mentions that advantage. They all got stuck with the CVT being a worse choice transmission which I think not because a CVT transmission keeps the engine rev at optimum, according to the accelerator position and speed. .

Why aren't front passenger seats evaluated? So many lack lumber support, and often dont have the ability to be raised, leaving the passenger sitting in an uncomfortable low position, unable to have a clear line of sight out the front window.

Hey Joe, now that your making the big RU-vid money maybe one day you can hook us up with a free car, you can be the raiti Winfrey

I thought there was no transmission but direct drive from an electric motor or engine through a direct drive clutch

I would like to see a drag race between Camry Hybrid and Accord Hybrid. 1/8th mile would be fine

I have had both the Carmy Hybrid and Honda Hybrid. The Honda is much better. It really isn't close. Kinda sad that Toyota cant make a good car.

well honda took the gear shift lever so I can not hold it

No transmission. Honda calls it an eCVT, but it's utilizing the dual motors as a combination of a generator and direct drive motor.

Accord interior is far more superior even comparable to European cars, but yeah the Camry, well, the Camry is a Toyota, thats it.

Can’t wait for a redesign or mid cycle refresh

I like the dash, button layout etc... CVT I would NEVER purchase one purely because of this. They are horrible. My next normal car just might be a Tesla... Good review !

No hood struts. The Camry has hood struts.:) Like the humor. Agreed! What’s up with manufacturers not offering rear USB’s?

The 1.5t comes with cvt. The hybrid has more power than the 1.5t my friend has hybrid and he fills up for $30 and get 550 miles on a full tank. My 2.0t accord last 240 😂

What actual mpg did you get while on the drive?

Ehh I didn’t like the rims so I got the non hybrid touring....but I got mine for 27k! Instead of the 36k! Could talk them down on the hybrid...:(

Can’t see the Exhaust. Where is it? 🤔

👍💯video💯👍

No way they get the MPG as advertised more like 30 mpg

Wait. Is it 7.1 seconds 0-60 or 7.5/7.8 seconds?

Fresh cut Joe?

That motor does NOT want you to stomp on the Loud Pedal. It sounds so pained, wants an actual gear shift. Sounds kinda like an outboard Evirnrude getting you out of the water on one ski. Not that good though.

I'm 4:28 into the video, and not a single zonk yet! Will this be the first car on Raiti's Rides to get zero zonks? Don't spoil it for me! Dag nab it, I forgot that Honda has the prop Rod's for the hood that Joe isn't to fond of, automatic zonk!!🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Hey Joe! 😃

You have to realize in this car the eCVT is mainly connecting the gas engine to the hybrid components that generate electricity. Most of the time the gas engine is just acting as a generator. It only powers the wheels directly when steady state cruising over 40 mph or so. That racing gas engine noise is because you are actually asking for a lot of electricity, so the gas engine turns at a constant high rpm to provide it. You get used to it when you are getting in the 40s mpg in a large car around town but still have 0-60 in 7 second acceleration on tap. I live in Tampa, and would be happy to take you for a ride to show you the details of the power flow meter so you can see when the gas engine is actually engaging the wheels.

there is no CVT transmission in this car. It's an 'eCVT' which has nothing to do with a CVT actually...
