Because of the new hybrid system, Honda was able to significantly downsize the gas engine from a 2.4-liter in the standard Accord to a 137-horsepower 2-liter Atkinson cycle engine in the plug-in hybrid. A continuously variable transmission incorporates a 124-kilowatt electric motor, which can drive the car under pure electric power for 10 to 15 miles. Honda rates the total drive system output at 196 horsepower.
