The '12 and up accords fit the bill decent, just not sure I would need a Honda diag tool or not. Suggestions? A build is not out of the question obviously

If you want lots of space with great safety, then I would look at a Lexus RX series hybrid. Tons of room and gets around the 45mpg mark stock. Look at some aero mods, reducing tyre drag and tinker with adding PHEV and you could get far better. Also has the benefit of EoC, engine stop and Atkinson cycle.
You are lucky that they are relatively cheap,where you are.
