The 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid isn’t your typical hybrid, in that it is the first to feature a V6 engine.  So can you have power and efficiency?  Here’s what reviewers had to say:

Aaron Gold at About.com has reviewed the 2007 Honda Accord and has this to say:

The idea behind IMA is that it takes lots of power to get a car moving, but not much to keep it moving. With a battery-powered electric motor to help out during acceleration, a small fuel-efficient gas engine is all that’s needed — an idea that worked well in the first-generation Insight and Civic hybrids.

Problem is that the Accord’s V6 doesn’t need any help. It can handle passing and merging on its own. Unless you’re drag-racing, the electric motor never really adds any useful assistance. Since the Accord Hybrid can’t run on pure battery power like the Toyota hybrids can, the hybrid system is, for all practical purposes, just along for the ride. In town my mileage never got above the low 20s — no better than a conventional V6-powered Accord.

However, AllAutoReviews has a different viewpoint of the new V6 hybrid, saying “Unlike most Hybrid models, the Honda Accord Hybrid sedan focuses on both performance as well as fuel efficiency. Whether you are looking for a sedan that comes with power, performance, comfort, luxury and fuel efficiency, the 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid sedan can be a nice choice to go for. ”

This hybrid gets an EPA mileage of 28 city and 35 highway and has an MSRP price of $31090-$33090
