New Honda Hybrid and Electric Vehicles in Ames, IA
As the car industry steadily shifts toward greater sustainability, electrification is becoming more prevalent and accessible than ever. Honda is doing its part by developing battery-powered and battery-assisted vehicles that are stylish, capable, and practical. The all-new Honda Prologue showcases the future of Honda electrification. However, if you're seeking improved efficiency and lower emissions without plugging in, Honda also offers hybrid variants of the highly acclaimed Honda Accord and Honda CR-V. Drivers from Des Moines to Mason City can access the latest electrified Honda models at Honda of Ames.
Honda Hybrids
Hybrid vehicles utilize an electric motor to reduce the gas engine's workload, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and less emissions. They can also provide smooth and often more responsive acceleration. A notable benefit of a regular hybrid is that it charges while you drive, using the engine as an alternator or through regenerative braking. As such, they don't require external power sources to increase driving range and improve efficiency.
Honda Accord Hybrid
A benchmark of the midsize sedan class, the Honda Accord delivers a superb blend of comfort, refinement, reliability, and driving enjoyment. Such well-roundedness has made the Honda Accord an almost permanent fixture on Car and Driver's 10Best list. A redesign in 2023 has made the 11th-generation Honda Accord even better, boasting more refined accommodations, upgraded features, and a sophisticated new look. It also integrated the previously separate hybrid variant into the main lineup, using it as the standard powertrain in the top four trim levels (Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Sport Touring).
Honda Accord Hybrid models combine a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce 204 horsepower and 247 pound-feet of torque. The EX-L trim has 17-inch wheels and achieves an impressive EPA-rated 51 mpg city, 44 mpg highway, and 48 mpg combined. The three "Sport" trim levels have larger 19-inch wheels, achieving an EPA-estimated 46 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 44 mpg combined.1
Honda CR-V Hybrid
Much like its Accord sibling, the Honda CR-V is a segment standard-setter. This quintessential compact crossover provides generous passenger accommodations, plentiful practicality, easy drivability, and myriad amenities. Fully redesigned in 2023, the Honda CR-V debuted its sixth generation with back-to-back Car and Driver 10Best awards (2023, 2024).
Also like the Accord, the Honda CR-V uses the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine as the standard powertrain for Sport, Sport-L, and Sport Touring models. With front-wheel-drive, CR-V Hybrid models achieve EPA-estimated ratings of 43 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined. All-wheel drive models have EPA ratings of 40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined.1
Honda Prologue EVThe next generation of Honda electrification is here in the all-new Honda Prologue. This sharp-looking midsize crossover provides roomy five-passenger accommodations, a flexible cargo capacity, and an eye-catching design. It's also generously equipped, including standard features like including an 11-inch digital instrument panel, an 11.3-inch HD touchscreen, and a full suite of Honda Sensing® driver aids.
Available in 212-horsepower single-motor and 288-horsepower dual-motor configurations, the Honda Prologue leverages GM's renowned Ultium technology to provide an estimated 273 to 296 miles of range, depending on the specifications. It's also capable of an impressive 155kW fast-charging rate at a compatible station.
