Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid specs and MPG for Oklahoma City drivers
Most Oklahoma City commuters choosing between the Accord and the Accord Hybrid are really choosing how much they want to spend on gas. For daily stop-and-go driving in Oklahoma City, the 2026 Accord Hybrid is the better fit, because its EPA city rating of 51 mpg beats the gas Accord’s 29. The gas Accord is the simpler car, with one 1.5-liter engine and no hybrid system. At Bob Howard Honda on North Kelley Avenue, we sell both new, and our Google record is 4.5 stars across 4,311 reviews.

What are the 2026 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid EPA mpg ratings?
Each 2026 Accord trim carries its own EPA rating, and the Accord Hybrid rates highest in city driving. It is rated 51 mpg city, 44 highway and 48 combined, against 29 city, 37 highway and 32 combined for the base gas Accord.
| Trim | Powertrain | City mpg | Highway mpg | Combined mpg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accord Hybrid | Hybrid | 51 | 44 | 48 |
| Accord Hybrid Sport/Touring | Hybrid | 46 | 41 | 44 |
| Accord (base) | Gasoline | 29 | 37 | 32 |
| Accord SE | Gasoline | 28 | 36 | 31 |
EPA’s combined figure weights city driving at 55% and highway driving at 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). For an Oklahoma City commute, the city number is the one to read first.
Which Accord trim fits an Oklahoma City driver, gas or hybrid?
For most Oklahoma City commuters, the hybrid trim is the one to start with, because it rates highest on city driving. The gas Accord suits a buyer who wants a conventional engine and no hybrid system.
We sell new Accord and Accord Hybrid models.
A driver who sits in traffic on Oklahoma City streets gains the most from the hybrid. A driver who wants the simpler powertrain can choose a gas trim, which starts at a lower price.
What are the engine, horsepower and size specs of the Accord and Accord Hybrid?
The gas Accord uses a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and the Accord Hybrid uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, according to the EPA certification record. Honda’s published 2026 specifications list 192 horsepower on the gas LX and SE, and 204 total system horsepower on the hybrid EX-L, Sport, Sport-L and Touring.
Torque is listed for the LX and SE at 192 lb-ft, arriving between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. Front-row legroom is 42.3 inches on every trim listed, and second-row legroom is 40.8 inches. The EX-L, LX, SE, Sport and Sport-L carry 16.7 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row.
How much does the Accord Hybrid cost compared with the gas Accord?
Honda lists a starting MSRP of $28,395 for the gas Accord LX and $33,795 for the Sport Hybrid, the lowest-priced hybrid trim. The gas Accord keeps the simpler setup, a single 1.5-liter engine with no hybrid system.
Taxes follow the purchase price. Oklahoma charges a motor vehicle excise tax of 3.25% on the value of a new vehicle (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Sections 2103 and 1355(2), 2026). Oklahoma also sets no dollar ceiling on a dealer documentary fee (Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026), so ask for that fee in writing alongside the sticker price.
How does Accord Hybrid mpg hold up on Oklahoma City commutes?
The city rating decides an Oklahoma City commute. The Accord Hybrid’s 51 mpg city figure is 22 mpg higher than the base gas Accord’s 29, and that is the driving the city rating measures.
The hybrid still leads on the highway, at 44 mpg against 37 for the base gas Accord. The Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s 2025 Urban Mobility Report counts 64 hours of annual delay per Oklahoma City commuter in 2024. In that same year, each Oklahoma City commuter burned 19 extra gallons of fuel sitting in congestion (Texas A&M Transportation Institute, 2025).
What does the Accord warranty cover for Oklahoma City drivers?
The 2026 Accord and Accord Hybrid carry the same warranty terms. Basic coverage lasts 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the corrosion warranty runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
Those terms cover the gas and hybrid Accord alike, so the warranty does not decide between them. The choice comes down to fuel use and trim.
