Following a mild update to other versions of the popular midsize sedan, the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid hits showrooms this spring with a new look and more technology. Most importantly, the Accord Hybrid also receives powertrain revisions that improve both power and efficiency.

Total system output is up from 196 hp to 212 hp, though Honda is frustratingly taciturn about how much of that power gain comes from the gas engine versus the electric motor.

The car's revised bodywork is slightly more aerodynamic than before, helping efficiency.
