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.

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.

Your reliable ride might effortlessly purr down the highway, but if you aren't making time for a Honda inspection regularly, you could be setting yourself up for a surprise breakdown to deal with at some point in the future. There are many good reasons to visit your Honda dealer for regular inspections. more Identify Problems Early How can you tell if there's a potential breakdown in the works if you aren't having your Honda r egularly inspected? Sometimes, just because a problem can't be seen or heard doesn't mean there isn't one brewing under the surface. Scheduling regular inspections at your Honda dealership is a great way to help catch any developing problems, like alternator malfunctions or tire imbalances, before you may have to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on repairs later down the line. Improve Overall Performance During an inspection, your technician will address any issues they identify and ensure that everything works as it should so you can enjoy a stress-free ride with complete peace of mind. In short, inspections can help ensure that your Honda remains a well-oiled machine for years to come. Speaking of oil, an inspection offers the perfect opportunity to have the oil changed and ensure optimal performance. Increase Desirability If you ever decide to sell your Honda to someone else in the future, you can increase interest among buyers by having the vehicle regularly inspected and maintained. If you can produce receipts for regular inspections, buyers will know that you were serious about keeping the car in good shape, and they'll have confidence in knowing that they won't be dealing with the need for a bunch of repairs just to stay on the road.

The components in your car require service to stay working well. You'll occasionally need preventative maintenance, and you may end up needing a transmission repair at some point even if you visit your Honda dealer for service regularly. Let's take a look at why transmission service is so important and what happens when your transmission is failing. more Your vehicle's transmission is responsible for making sure your engine spins at the right speed. It also transfers the power from your engine to your wheels. The transmission is, essentially, your gearbox, and engaging different gears gets your engine to spin at different speeds. This is what impacts how fast or slow you can drive in different gears. When your transmission is in disrepair, you'll start having problems with your gears. This can make your car uncontrollable and dangerous to drive, so having a transmission that's always working the way it should is essential. Types of Transmission Maintenance You Need From Your Honda Dealer Transmission Fluid Exchange Your transmission has fluid that lubricates your car's gears and keeps them cool. However, the fluid degrades over time, so it needs to be drained and replaced regularly. During this service, the technicians at the dealership remove the transmission fill/drain plug, and then they remove the old fluid. The plug is then reinstalled and the appropriate amount of fresh transmission fluid is put into your car. The type of transmission fluid your car needs varies depending on what type of transmission you have. Filter Replacement Your transmission filter helps keep the transmission fluid clean by catching various contaminants before they can get into the fluid. When you stop by for this service, our technicians will remove your transmission pan and the old transmission filter so a new filter can be installed. They'll also remove the old gasket material and replace the pan gasket with a new one before they reinstall the pan. Signs Your Transmission Needs Service ASAP Gear Issues There are several issues you may have with your gears when your transmission is in disrepair. It's common to have trouble switching gears or be unable to switch gears at all. This is usually just a sign that your transmission fluid needs to be changed. You may also slip in and out of gear, making it difficult to control how your car accelerates and decelerates. Noises in Neutral Your car should generally be quiet when it's in neutral. If you start hearing noises, then it may be a sign your transmission is in trouble. Kicking and Shaking If your car vibrates, kicks, or shakes while you're changing gears, then there's a problem. If you have a manual transmission, then your gears may grind when you're shifting gears, too. Pay Burns Honda in Orangeburg, SC a visit if you have any issues with your transmission. We can also take care of the other parts of your car.
