HYBRID CARS

Is the Honda Accord Hybrid a Good Car?

Yes, the Honda Accord Hybrid is a good car. It has a long list of strengths, which includes a gentle ride, spry handling, an elegant cabin, spacious seats, and intuitive infotainment controls. The main knock against this sedan is that it has subpar fuel economy estimates compared to many other hybrid and electric cars. Additionally, while it’s peppy getting going from a stop, it can struggle to accelerate at highway speeds. 

We named the Accord Hybrid our 2022 Best Hybrid and Electric Car for Families because it has a stellar combination of cargo and passenger space, safety and reliability ratings, positive reviews from automotive journalists, and available family-friendly features.

Is the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid a Good Car?

Yes, the Sonata Hybrid is a good car. In fact, we named it a finalist for our 2022 Best Hybrid or Electric Car for the Money award because of its solid combination of quality and value.

Great fuel economy is one of the Sonata Hybrid’s main attributes. This Hyundai also offers quick acceleration, a comfortable ride, and controlled handling. The Sonata Hybrid boasts a well-built, comfortable cabin and an easy-to-use infotainment system. It also has a decent-sized trunk. The only downsides are an unrefined transmission and a regenerative braking system that can make the brakes difficult to modulate.

There’s also the nonhybrid Hyundai Sonata, which we review separately.

Is the Mercedes-Benz EQS a Good Car?

Yes, the Mercedes-Benz EQS is a good car. That's a vast understatement, though, as this all-new luxury electric car has no major downsides.

The EQS has an all-electric driving range of about 350 miles, along with confident acceleration and a quiet, luxurious ride. Inside, both rows of seats have ample space, and a hatchback body design affords plenty of cargo room. Further adding to this Mercedes’ appeal is a cabin that's dressed to the nines and can be outfitted with a level of infotainment and technology unlike nearly anything else on the market.
