A new Sport Special Edition model joins the 2017 Honda Accord lineup that includes a more powerful and fuel-efficient Accord Hybrid.

2017 Honda Accord

The current Honda Accord sedan and Honda Accord Coupe, launched in 2012 as a 2013 model and received a facelift for the 2016 model year. As such, we didn't expect much in the way of change for 2017 – at least for gasoline-only models.

The big news for 2017 is the rollout of a refreshed Accord Hybrid with the same styling updates that appeared on regular 2016 Accords. That's not to say that the hybrid hasn't received special tweaks of its own that include standard features such as an aluminum hood, unique alloy wheels, blue highlighted LED headlights and taillights and the requisite "Hybrid" exterior badges. A more compact hybrid battery pack also increases trunk capacity in the latest Honda hybrid to a midsize hybrid class-leading 13.5 cu.-ft. The 2017 hybrid also features a new version of Honda's two-motor hybrid powertrain technology.

Of somewhat lesser importance is a new non-hybrid trim level for 2017. That would be the Accord Sport Special Edition sedan – a $1,000 value package that comes with a number of upscale features including leather seats with red stitching, heated seats and a "Special Edition" badge.
