The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid has been honored with a 2014 Motorweek Drivers' Choice Award for Best Eco-Friendly vehicle thanks to its reliability, fuel-efficiency and all-around winning qualities. This marks the 30th time Honda has received a Drivers' Choice Award from MotorWeek since they debuted in 1983.
"For the Accord Hybrid our priority was not only to achieve outstanding fuel-efficiency but also make it fun-to-drive." said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of auto operations for American Honda. "Being named a Driver's Choice is proof that buying a hybrid doesn't mean you have to give up the joy of driving."
