Honda launched the Accord Advanced Hybrid on the Brazilian market, bringing the factory-integrated Google voice assistant as the main technological differentiator. The premium sedan arrives with a suggested price of R$332,400 and proposes a combination of hybrid efficiency with advanced connectivity, without the need for external recharging. The model targets consumers who seek performance and innovation in an executive vehicle.
Sistema hybrid e:HEV with dual motorization
The Accord Advanced Hybrid maintains the e:HEV system, which combines two electric motors with a 2.0 aspirated engine, totaling 204 horsepower combined. The average consumption achieved is 16.5 km/l, according to data from the manufacturer. The configuration allows autonomy of more than 600 km per tank, according to Inmetro tests. The set prioritizes fuel economy without compromising acceleration, reaching 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 7.5 seconds.
The system works in three main modes of operation. The EV Drive offers 100% electric traction at low speeds, ideal for urban congestion. The Hybrid Drive combines the engines in an optimized way, prioritizing energy regeneration during braking. The Engine Drive exclusively uses the combustion engine on long-distance highways. The transition between modes occurs automatically, without driver intervention.
- EV Drive: pure electric drive for heavy urban traffic.
- Hybrid Drive: optimized combination of power and economy.
- Engine Drive: exclusive thermal engine for highway travel.
In the urban cycle, consumption reaches 17.8 km/l, making the model efficient for drivers who face daily traffic. The technology reduces emissions by up to 40% compared to conventional sedans, according to data from Honda. The system does not require an external plug-in, recharging via braking and thermal motor, simplifying everyday use.
Google Assistente and advanced digital panel
The integration of the Google Assistente represents the main advancement in connectivity of the 2026 model. The system allows voice commands for navigation in the Google Maps, access to the Play Store and control of functions such as air conditioning and lighting. The 10.2-inch TFT digital panel works together with the 12.3-inch multimedia, both supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The induction charger and four USB-C ports make it easy to recharge mobile devices on the go.
The myHonda Connect app complements the experience, offering remote vehicle monitoring via smartphone. The owner can monitor fuel consumption, battery level, scheduled maintenance and car location in real time. Essa connectivity puts the Accord Advanced Hybrid on a similar level to premium vehicles from competing brands.
Design exterior and interior comfort
The Accord Advanced Hybrid adopts elegant lines with a long and low hood, reinforcing its identity as an executive sedan. The 18-inch alloy wheels give it an imposing look, while LED taillights joined by a light bar increase the feeling of width. The electric sunroof adds comfort on long journeys. The only color available, Preto Cristal Perolizado, highlights the model’s premium finish.
The interior uses high-quality materials, with ventilated and heated black leather seats in the front. Space for five occupants measures 1,030 mm on the wheelbase, accommodating luggage in a 573-liter trunk. The Bose sound system with 12 speakers and Centerpoint technology creates an immersive experience during travel. Refinamentos as air vents for rear seats and electric memory adjustment raise the level of luxury in the cabin.
Pacote Honda Sensing and security systems
The Accord equips the Honda Sensing as standard, integrating radars and cameras for collision avoidance. The lane keeping assistant intervenes during curves, preventing unintentional departures from the lane. Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts your speed to the traffic ahead. Automatic braking detects pedestrians at speeds of up to 100 km/h, applying the brakes if necessary.
Blind spot monitoring alerts you to adjacent vehicles through visual and audible indicators. The front camera offers a 90° magnified view, complemented by a 120° radar for obstacle detection. The system recognizes traffic signs and automatically activates high beams on dark roads, improving nighttime safety.
Garantia and market availability
Honda offers a three-year unlimited mileage warranty for the complete vehicle. The hybrid package, including batteries and electric motors, extends to eight years or 160,000 kilometers, ensuring durability of critical components. Sales begin at selected dealerships, with deliveries scheduled for October 2026. The price of R$332,400 positions the model against premium hybrid SUVs in the segment, offering an alternative in sedan format for executives who prefer traditional lines.
