Honda announced the beginning of production for the Accord Hybrid, a model which promises a combined fuel economy of 47mpg US. Under the hood we find a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle unit and an electric motor. The latter produces 166 horsepower but there are no further performance details.

At the exterior, the Japanese model stands out thanks to new front and rear bumpers, revised alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and blue accents.
