The Heart of the 2024 Honda Accord: Engine Specs

Honda designed its midsize 2024 Honda Accord sedan with a turbocharged powertrain or hybrid variant. These potent engines will get your heart racing, and updated steering and suspension systems dial in the Accord’s performance.

Regarding engine specifications, Accord LX and EX models have a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with dual overhead cams and 16 valves with direct injection, variable valve timing and lift electronic control exhaust, and dual variable timing control systems. Honda paired this engine with its continuously variable transmission for smooth shifting and power on demand. This powertrain produces 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque.

The hybrid Accord trims include the Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring versions. These models have a hybrid gas-electric powertrain using a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams and 16 valves with multi-stage high-pressure direct injection and dual variable timing control technology.

Honda upgraded to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with deceleration selectors. These steering-wheel-mounted paddle selectors provide enhanced performance and a more engaging driving experience. Deceleration paddles activate four levels of regenerative braking and give a feel similar to downshifting.

The naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine makes 181 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. A high-voltage lithium-ion battery powers the electric motor, boosting the output to 204 horsepower.

Performance and Drivability

The turbocharged four-cylinder engine goes from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, nearly a second faster than most midsize sedans. The hybrid powertrain cuts that time to 6.6 seconds and delivers the instant torque you expect from the electric motor.

Honda built a new motion management system for the Accord to handle horsepower, and it does, standing up against more renowned performance models like the Ford Mustang. This system doesn’t compromise between sportiness and comfort. Instead, it balances the two using a low-friction front suspension and a vibration-reducing rear suspension to deliver crisp, responsive handling and a quiet, smooth ride.

Hybrid models also feature a four-mode drive system with options that include Normal, ECO, Sport, and Individual. Select Normal mode for your everyday driving. But when you want more fun, Sport mode dials in the Accord’s throttle, steering, and suspension settings for a thrilling drive.

ECO mode delivers optimal efficiency, and Individual mode lets you customize your steering, gauges, and other settings to suit your driving style.

Enhanced Efficiency: Power Meets Economy

Adding horsepower doesn’t affect the Accord’s efficiency, thanks to Honda’s innovative engineering. For example, the deceleration control system offers four levels of regenerative power that transfer energy from braking into electricity to recharge the battery while reducing wear on the brake pads.

The continuously variable transmission also aids in fuel economy and provides precise shifting for smooth acceleration and optimal fuel consumption. And hybrid trims can operate in electric-only mode thanks to the high-voltage battery that powers the traction motor.

Turbocharged Accord models give you 29 mpg around town, 37 mpg on the highway, and 32 mpg combined. The hybrid trims vary. The Sport, Sport-L, and Touring trims get 46 mpg on surface roads, 41 mpg on the freeway, and 44 mpg combined. But the EX-L Hybrid has the best ratings, coming in at 51 mpg in the city, 44 mpg on the interstate, and 48 mpg combined.

These advancements ensure an exciting driving experience that won’t break your bank account when fueling up.
