Honda Accord gas or hybrid: which trim fits Sacramento drivers?
Pick the Accord by the trim, price and mpg Honda publishes for each, gas or hybrid, then test drive both at Capital City Honda. We sell the new Accord and Accord Hybrid at 3630 Fulton Ave, and test drives can be booked online or by phone.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Sacramento. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Pick the 2026 Honda Accord by trim, price and powertrain
Honda’s published 2026 Accord lineup runs from the LX at $28,395 to the Touring Hybrid at $39,495. The gas Accord SE and base Accord carry 31 and 32 mpg combined, and the hybrids carry 44 to 48 mpg combined. Your choice comes down to the powertrain and trim you want, then the price you can carry.
Start with the powertrain. The base gasoline Accord is rated 29 city, 37 highway and 32 combined by the EPA. Pick the hybrid if you drive a lot of Sacramento stop-and-go traffic on Highway 50 or Interstate 5, and pick gas if the upfront price matters more than fuel.
Then match the trim to the price. Honda lists the Accord Sport Hybrid at $33,795, the EX-L at $35,095, the Sport-L at $35,495 and the Touring at $39,495, all hybrids. Each figure is Honda’s starting MSRP for its trim.
Compare the trims side by side on the same day, then book a test drive online or by phone.
How much does each 2026 Honda Accord trim cost?
Honda’s published starting MSRP for the 2026 Accord LX is $28,395. The Sport Hybrid starts at $33,795, the EX-L at $35,095, the Sport-L at $35,495 and the Touring at $39,495, all hybrids.
Those are starting prices before options, and listed prices exclude tax, title, registration and smog fees. Advertised listing figures are not guaranteed out-the-door prices.
Gas or hybrid: how many mpg does each Accord get?
The gasoline Accord is rated 29 city, 37 highway and 32 combined. The Accord Hybrid is rated 51 city, 44 highway and 48 combined, and the Hybrid Sport/Touring is rated 46 city, 41 highway and 44 combined.
Every figure above is an EPA certified rating for the 2026 model year. The combined number is a weighted average, with city weighted at 55% and highway at 45%. A driver who spends most of the week on city streets will see the biggest gap between gas and hybrid, so the hybrid earns its higher price fastest on those miles.
What does the 2026 Honda Accord cost and get per gallon?
Here is the cost in one place. Every figure below is the one Honda or the EPA publishes for the 2026 model year.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Combined mpg |
|---|---|---|
| Accord Sport Hybrid | $33,795 | 44 |
| Accord Touring Hybrid | $39,495 | 44 |
Honda’s basic warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
When is a 2026 Honda Accord the wrong pick?
The Accord is a five-seat sedan. Each 2026 trim gives 42.3 inches of row-one legroom, 40.8 inches of row-two legroom and 16.7 cubic feet of cargo behind row two.
If you need to tow, haul a trailer or carry more than 16.7 cubic feet of cargo, the Accord is the wrong pick. The 2026 CR-V LX and EX carry 76.5 cubic feet of max cargo and tow up to 1,500 pounds.

A new Accord can be bought, financed or leased at Capital City Honda. Capital City Honda handles lease contracts, new-car financing and used-car loans. Leases are turned in at the dealership when the contract ends, and there is a secure online finance application.
California sales tax applies on top of the MSRP. The statewide base rate is 7.25%, and local district taxes are added on top. In the city of Sacramento, the combined rate is 8.75% against 7.75% for Sacramento County, according to the CDTFA-95 schedule for 2026.
The vehicle registration fee under Vehicle Code section 9250.1 is $76 for original registration or renewal, which the DMV footnotes as including the $3 alternative fuel fee. A separate $34 California Highway Patrol fee is billed with it. California also charges a 0.65% vehicle license fee on the purchase price or value of the vehicle, and a tiered transportation improvement fee on top.
