The 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid takes the sedan's legendary performance and efficiency a step further by combining the inline-4 with two electric motors. more Efficient Hybrid Powertrain The hybrid sedan is powered by a lively 2.0L inline-4 and two electric motors, producing 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The engine comes with Dual Variable Timing Control (VTC) technology, which improves its efficiency by retarding camshaft timing at lower RPMs. A fuel-conserving electronic continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) is also incorporated into the hybrid setup. At lower speeds, the hybrid system relies heavily on the traction motor and high-voltage battery to drive the sedan. This dramatically improves the mileage when navigating traffic and staying below speed limits in cities. The battery is recharged by the generator motor, which converts the engine's mechanical energy to electricity. Deceleration Selectors Among the features that enhance the sedan's efficiency and sporty driving dynamics are the deceleration selectors. The "minus" and "plus" paddles mounted on the steering wheel allow you to adjust regenerative braking. The "minus" paddle simulates traditional downshifting by increasing the regenerative braking effect, while the "plus" paddle returns it to the previous level. Selectable Drive Modes Drivers can cycle between Normal, ECON, Sport, and Individual modes using the drive mode selector. Normal balances performance and fuel economy, ECON maximizes gas mileage, while Sport mode boosts acceleration and amplifies the vehicle's exhaust notes. For a more personalized driving experience, drivers can activate Individual mode and configure various powertrain attributes using the center touchscreen. Sporty and Elegant Design The Accord Hybrid is among the most sophisticated-looking mid-size sedans in the market, sporting smooth body contours with sporty and elegant design elements. Dual low-beam LED headlights and an active shutter grille with a gloss-black mesh panel give the Accord Hybrid's front fascia an aggressive look. Meanwhile, the side profile is defined by gloss black side mirrors, a fastback-inspired roofline, and stylish 19-inch alloy wheels. The sedan's sophisticated look continues inside the cabin with available leather-trimmed seats that were manufactured using a kneading process. High-quality leather also wraps the steering wheel and shift knob for a comfortable grip. With the Honda Accord Hybrid as your daily driver, you will turn heads and make fewer stops at the gas station. Visit us at Burns Honda in Orangeburg, SC, and drive home in the hybrid sedan today.

Engine diagnostics are one of the most important tools available to automotive technicians. They allow problems to be quickly detected and repaired, saving you time and money. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you more about how they work and some issues they can identify. more Sensors and Computers Every important component in a modern vehicle has a sensor connected to it, and these sensors receive instructions from the computer and relay information to it that will be used to make decisions. The sensors monitor their connected component for signs of trouble. They're sensitive and will immediately inform the computer of minute changes that affect performance. If the computer can't correct the issue, it logs the situation with an error code and activates the check engine light. OBD-II Scanner A lit check engine light tells you something's wrong, not necessarily what it is. Before computers, mechanics could spend hours checking systems and components that could be the cause of the problem. This meant longer repair times and increased costs. Now, our technicians can trace the affected system in minutes. We connect an OBD-II scanner to your computer. The scanner reads the error codes logged by the computer, and we compare this to the master list of codes for your Honda model to diagnose the issue. Problems Diagnostics Can Identify Damaged Oxygen Sensor Air is vital for combustion, as fuel can't burn in the cylinders without it. Efficient combustion requires a 14:1 ratio of air to fuel, and the oxygen sensors inform the computer of the current amount of available air so it can make any necessary adjustments. A failed sensor means the computer must guess how much air is in the engine. If It guesses wrong, your engine could become fuel-rich and burn more fuel or fuel-lean and stall or misfire. Once we find the damaged sensor and replace it, it'll help performance return to normal. Blocked Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust system, and it converts dangerous gases produced as byproducts of combustion into harmless chemicals. Once the conversion is complete, the new gases exit your vehicle via the tailpipe. The converter uses high pressure, intense heat, and chemical reactions to convert the engine gases. Carbon is a byproduct of conversion. It builds up in the converter and will eventually block it. A blocked converter forces gases back into the engine. Their presence increases the engine's internal pressure and can cause it to shut down. If this problem is identified, we'll clear the blockage, and the converter will work effectively again. If you have an illuminated check engine light, contact us today at Burns Honda in Orangeburg, SC.

The sleek and aerodynamic 2024 Honda Accord is nothing if not stylish. This spacious mid-sized sedan has a history dating back almost fifty years, and it comes with all the innovation, performance, and reliability you'd expect from the legendary automaker. more 1. Sleek Exterior Design Appearance always matters with cars, and in an SUV-dominated era, the Honda Accord sedan still courts plenty of fans with its streamlined good looks. The Accord's smooth and elegant lines are mildly contrasted by a bold front grille and sharply carved headlights, which give it a hint of aggressiveness. An aerodynamic shell, refined by wind-tunnel testing, also helps its fuel efficiency: another of the car's strengths. 2. Wide Choice of Trim Levels You can choose from six distinct Honda Accord trim levels, four of which are fuel-sipping hybrid models. The LX and EX trims are fitted with a 1.5 L four-cylinder 192-hp turbo engine. Then there are the Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid, all equipped with an efficient 204-hp hybrid powertrain. This includes a 2.0 L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. 3. Accord Drive Modes Drivers can switch between drive modes to optimize the Accord for different driving conditions. The modes include predefined settings for powertrain response, adaptive cruise control settings, gauge cluster layout, and steering assist level. Normal and ECON modes come as standard, with hybrid models adding Sport and Individual drive modes to the menu. 4. Honda Sensing Technologies It's hard to talk about modern Hondas without mentioning the Honda Sensing driver-assist technologies that are freely distributed across all trims. All cars have the tech you might expect, like Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist, but you'll also find standard features that are rarer in other marques, like Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow.

The Honda safety features you'll find in 2024 vehicles are helpful, high-tech, and great for increasing your peace of mind while driving. From helping you avoid collisions to automating some aspects of driving, Honda's advanced safety tech makes your journeys safer than ever. more Adaptive Cruise Control The days of conventional cruise control are behind us; Adaptive Cruise Control is the improved version that automates more of your driving than ever. You can set a specific speed you wish to remain at along with a distance you wish to keep between you and the car you're behind. Your vehicle alters your speed as needed to maintain your desired distance while keeping you safe. Forward Collision Warning Unexpected things can happen at any time while you're driving. The car in front of you could slow down or stop for any reason, and you won't always notice straight away. If your Honda notices you getting too close to the car in front of you for any reason, then it'll send you a warning so you can address the problem. Collision Mitigation Braking System Lessening the impact of a collision is one of the most important things to do if you can't avoid a crash. That's why your Honda has the Collision Mitigation Braking System. As you know, your Honda alerts you if you're in danger of crashing. If you don't respond to the warning, then the vehicle can apply the brakes. This may help you avoid the collision. If it doesn't, then it should at least lessen the impact of the crash. Lane Keeping Assist System Staying in the center of your lane helps you stay safe, so your car helps you do that. If you're drifting out of the middle of the lane, then your Honda will gently correct the steering to guide you back into place. It can also remind you to keep steering if something causes you to stop. Road Departure Mitigation If you drift to the edge of your lane, then your Honda will send you an alert to make sure you notice. It tugs the seat belt and provides a visual and audible alert. If needed, the vehicle can also correct your steering to guide you back to safety. You'll find these safety features on a wide range of Honda vehicles.
