2023 Honda Accord Hybrid vs. 2023 Prius In Omaha, NE
2023 Honda Accord Hybrid vs. 2023 Toyota Prius
Hybrid cars are a quirky segment for those who don't want a crossover, whether it’s a hybrid or not. They want something more conventional, a car, if you will, without the jacked-up personality and faux-off-roader looks of a crossover. This segment features models such as the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid and the 2023 Toyota Prius, as well as a few other players, but the Honda and Toyota are what we’ll be comparing today.
While the Toyota Prius needs no introduction, being the headline hybrid car, the Accord Hybrid is rather more interesting. You see, traditionally, the Accord has been a regular, gasoline-engined car. However, with the eleventh generation debuting this year, the 2023 Accord range significantly focuses on hybrids, with the top four out of six trims featuring Honda’s latest Earth Dreams hybrid powertrain. That signifies that Honda is repositioning the Accord as a hybrid.
Can we find out which one is ahead in the best hybrid car race? We'll attempt to do just that by comparing the Accord Hybrid vs. Prius in terms of performance, safety, and interior offerings. And if you want to see the new Accord Hybrid in the metal, call our team at O’Daniel Honda in Omaha, NE, to arrange a viewing.
Interior Comparison
The 2023 Prius may offer a decent 91 cubic feet of space, but the 2023 Accord Hybrid comprehensively beats it for sheer spaciousness, as it gives you a 103-cubic-foot cabin, ample for five adults to travel in comfort. While the 2023 Prius can handle five adults, four is a better number for longer journeys. Also, the 2023 Prius may give you a 20-cubic-foot trunk thanks to its hatchback-esque styling. But the 2023 Accord Hybrid's regular sedan body style is pretty close at 17 cubic feet.
The 2023 Accord Hybrid features Honda's current mesh-strip design language on the dash, incorporating the air vents within a continuous strip. Below it, you'll find physical buttons and knobs for dual-zone climate control. Meanwhile, Toyota has gone in the opposite direction with the 2023 Prius. It doesn't have the same distinctiveness as the previous generation and looks relatively anonymous.
The 2023 Accord Hybrid and the 2023 Prius come with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard on all trim levels. The 2023 Accord Hybrid offers a 7-inch or 12.3-inch touch screen, depending on trim. The 2023 Prius offers an 8-inch touch screen on all trims save for the top one, which receives a 12.3-inch unit. Both cars also come with a digital instrument cluster. Options on the 2023 Accord Hybrid include a 6-inch heads-up display and a 12-speaker Bose sound system.

Performance Comparison
The 2023 Accord Hybrid features Honda’s latest Earth Dreams technology, with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine plus two electric motors that make a total system output of 204 horsepower. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT gearbox. Zero to 60 takes just 6.6 seconds, which makes the 2023 Accord Hybrid feel positively athletic despite its physical size. It embodies Honda's sporty spirit, and you can have fun with it on a twisty road.
The 2023 Prius features a 2.0-liter engine and electric motor combo with a CVT gearbox that develops 194 horsepower on front-wheel-drive variants and 196 horsepower on all-wheel-drive variants. Zero to 60 takes over seven seconds, and the 2023 Prius doesn't have the same athleticism as the 2023 Accord Hybrid. It's not a sporty vehicle by any stretch of the word and doesn't really like to be hustled.
Safety Features Comparison
The 2023 Accord Hybrid and the 2023 Prius come with eight airbags, stability control, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and lane-departure warning. Both also offer lane-keeping assist, child safety locks, and automatic headlamps.
