How to shop for a Honda Accord on Hilton Head Island
Start by choosing between the Accord and the Accord Hybrid. Then price your trade by license plate or VIN, run the payment calculator, and schedule a test drive at Hilton Head Honda, the Lowcountry’s only Honda store, at 161 Fording Island Rd in Bluffton.
Each step covers one decision. Honda’s published figures show what each model costs and how far it goes on a gallon, and our own tools show what your trade and your payment look like.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Bluffton. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
How do Accord and Accord Hybrid mpg and price compare on Hilton Head Island?
Choose the Accord Hybrid if fuel is your biggest running cost. Its EPA figures are 51 city, 44 highway and 48 combined miles per gallon. The gas Accord LX gets 29 city, 37 highway and 32 combined, and it has the lowest starting price in the Accord lineup at $28,395.
The EPA runs five test cycles on a dynamometer and audits the automakers’ data (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). That is why the numbers can be compared from one model to the next.
Hybrid trims start at $33,795. The Sport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid all make 204 horsepower, against 192 for the gas LX. The Hybrid Sport/Touring returns 46 city, 41 highway and 44 combined.
Choose the gas LX if the lowest starting price matters most and you drive mostly on the highway.
What does a new Honda Accord cost on Hilton Head Island after fees?
A new Accord starts at Honda’s published starting price, and South Carolina adds its own charges on top. The rest comes from the state.
South Carolina charges an Infrastructure Maintenance Fee in place of a sales tax. It is 5% of the purchase price, but no more than $500 (South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). A vehicle title costs $15 (South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles).
Hybrid buyers pay one more fee. The state charges hybrids $60 on top of the registration fee (South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
Say, hypothetically, you buy an EX-L Hybrid at its $35,095 starting price. The 5% fee would be $1,754.75, so the $500 cap applies. Every figure in this example is hypothetical.
