The development trend and raised interest in taking care of the environment, and saving the planet’s energy resources by recycling as much as possible has clear results at least in the field of car making. We are talking about the creation of a new type of vehicle: the hybrid. Honda is among the numerous car manufacturers that have committed to this approach, designing a number of hybrid cars like the Hybrid Honda Accord. The Hybrid Honda Accord was made between 2005 and 2007 by Sayama, Japan and Marysville, Ohio. The successors of the Hybrid Honda Accord are Honda FCX Clarity and Honda Accord Diesel. The class to which the Hybrid Honda Accord belongs is mid-size. This is actually a 4-door sedan with an FF layout. It has a 3.0L V6 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The other features of the Hybrid Honda Accord include the wheelbase of 107.9 in, the length of 189.5 in (in 2005) and 191.1 in (in 2006 - 07), the width of 71.4 in (in 2005) and 71.7 in (in 2006 – 07), the height of 57.0 in (in 2005) and 57.2 in (in 2006 – 07). Other vehicles by Honda in the same family with the Hybrid Honda Accord are Honda Accord and Honda Inspire.

The Hybrid Honda Accord is a hybrid version of the North American Honda Accord which was created in model years starting with 2005 through 2007. The Hybrid Honda Accord followed the other hybrid varieties from Honda: Honda Insight and Honda Civic Hybrid. The third in the line of hybrid Hondas, this Accord model was valued $3,000 more than the EX V6 model Accord and it preserved the same trim and quality levels, except the 2005 model which did not have the power sunroof. The Hybrid Honda Accord remains at the top of the Honda lineup.

This car has the same displacement as the regular 7th generation Accord V6 power plant; yet the engine of the Hybrid Honda Accord is derived from the Honda Odyssey Minivan model of 2005. The Hybrid Honda Accord has the capacity to stop three out of the six cylinders in order to save fuel, but only under certain conditions. This cylinder stopping technique is known as Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) and it was invented by Honda. The engine of the Hybrid Honda Accord features iVTEC technology and also drives a new compact transmission. This transmission specificity makes the insertion of the electric motor possible in the space between the gas engine and the transmission train. The fuel economy in this hybrid Honda was initially estimated at 29 mpg (8.1 L/100 km/35mpg imp) in the city and 37 mpg (6.4 L/100 km/44 mpg imp) outside. With such features, it’s no wonder that the Hybrid Honda Accord won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Alternative Power Award in 2005.
