What Is the MPG of the 2020 Honda Accord?
We’re glad you asked! Now, let’s get right down to business. The 2020 Honda Accord delivers an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway MPG for LX, EX, and EX-L 1.5T trims.* Pretty impressive, right?
With fuel economy this efficient there are so many places you can travel on one tank of gas, like to and from work, or to that hip new restaurant all the way across town, even over to the Big Easy for a night of local music.
That’s not all, however. Did you know that the 2020 Accord also comes in a hybrid version? It’s the ideal choice for those looking for even more efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 48 city/47 highway MPG rating in the hybrid trims.*
With the available hybrid powertrain, you can also see the flow of energy between the engine and electric motor in real time, thanks to the Power-Flow Monitor, a part of the available high-resolution touchscreen. Even turn on EV Mode and have your 2020 Accord run off the electric motor for even better fuel-saving performance.
More Fuel in the Tank
With these commendable MPG ratings, you can now leave the gas station in the dust. Unless, of course, you need to stock up on snacks. That’s because the Honda Accord can fit up to 14.8 gallons of fuel in its tank. This means, not only will each gallon of gas last for plenty of miles, but you can continue to drive for hundreds of miles before needing to refuel.
This way you can stop at gas stations less often on a weekly basis and even make longer road trips quicker, since you’ll be spending more time driving and less time looking for nearby gas stations.
Various Engine Options
What makes the Honda Accord so efficient? It all starts with its impressive engine options. Let’s take a closer look under the hood:
- 5L Turbocharged Engine
Leading the pack is the standard 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC® engine, boasting 192 lb-ft of torque and up to 192 horsepower. It’s also equipped with ECO Assist™, which helps improve fuel economy in areas of high traffic volume.
- 0L Turbocharged Engine
The available 2.0-liter VTEC® engine packs quite the energetic punch with up to 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.
Aerodynamic Design
The sophisticated, efficient engineering of the 2020 Honda Accord goes beyond just its engine performance. The overall shape and design of this car was crafted to help give you the best efficiency possible, too. Sure, it has head-turning style, but certain exterior features provide much more than looks. The available decklid spoiler adds a sporty appeal to the 2020 Accord while also reducing uplift, which helps limit drag for improved aerodynamics.
The available active grille shutters can also reduce drag, as well as allow proper cooling, by automatically opening and closing when needed. Features like these help the Honda Accord achieve its impressive fuel economy figures.
Ways to Improve Honda Accord MPG
There are also things you can do as the driver to make sure you’re getting the most efficient performance possible. Having the oil regularly changed in your Accord will maximize the performance of your engine. Clean oil does a great job at lubricating the various parts in the engine, so they can freely move about. This means the engine won’t have to work as hard to give you the power you need, which means less fuel will have to be used.
Also, having tires that are properly inflated have a lot of benefits to the performance of your car, including its overall fuel economy. Luckily, with the 2020 Honda Accord you’ll know the moment any of your tires becomes underinflated, thanks to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The instant this system detects there’s low pressure in one or more of your tires, it’ll send you an alert so you can fill your tires with more air and continue to get the best gas mileage possible.
In addition to that, using the AC system less can benefit a car’s efficiency. With the Accord you won’t have to be concerned much about this since it comes with the dual-zone automatic climate control system. This system can automatically turn on and off the flow of air when needed, so you continue to stay comfortable while also making sure engine power isn’t wasted.
High-Tech Ways to Stay Connected
Perhaps nothing goes better with great fuel economy than an exciting road trip. Luckily, the 2020 Honda Accord has all the tech you need to stay connected and informed during the journey.
