The 2007 Accord Hybrid has a list price of $38,090, or $40,590 with the optional navigation system as fitted in my test car. The Navi system had the name of the little crescent where I live displayed as I headed for home, which I thought was pretty cool. The amount of data must be huge on the DVD Navi system, because I noticed there was a separate DVD for the U.S. in the glove box. But the Navi does more than just show where you're going. You can quite literally tell it where to go. With included bilingual Voice Recognition, the system can respond to more than 600 spoken commands. For instance, you can program in a destination, change the heating or air conditioning or pick a certain CD track on the 180-watt, six-speaker audio system by a single word or two. The Hybrid is based on the normal V6 Accord in that it uses the same 3.0-litre twincam engine, which in Accord form produces 244 hp and 211 lb/ft of torque. The IMA boosts that to 253 hp and 232 lb/ft of torque. There is no manual transmission offered on the Hybrid, instead it gets a special compact five-speed automatic. To lessen unsprung weight, the Hybrid gets special lightweight alloy wheels instead of the bigger 17-inch alloys found on the V6 Accord. The Hybrid's wheels are aerodynamically designed to reduce drag. You don't think of Hondas as being big, but the Accord has a passenger volume of 2,766 litres and a longish wheelbase of 2,740 mm. Coupled with the width of 1,850, the Accord feels more like a full-size car inside and out. There is only one interior offered, black leather with black trim. Feeling very Germanic, there's just an aluminum panel on the bottom half of the centre control stack breaks up a cabin that I find too sombre. I know all black is what the people want and sales prove it. Take Mercedes-Benz and Audi. But I would have liked some veneer or two-tone hues. The centre console with a sliding top is a nice touch. Instrument placing and legibility has been a Honda forte since the first Honda Civic way back in 1973. The heating/air conditioning system is one of the easiest to work in the auto industry. Similarly, the steering wheel mounted controls for audio and cruise are illuminated at night. Coupled with Braille-like raised bumps, these controls are simple to use and see at a glance or just by touch.
