Honda Accord engine specs

Fuel grade is 95 on every row that records it. Injection on current Turbo cars is Direct injection (direct); the current Hybrid uses Distributed injection (multi-point). Compression is 10.3 on the 1498 cc Turbo, 9.8 on the 1996 cc Turbo, 13.5 on the current Hybrid.

Specific output: current 1.5 CVT / 1.5 MT make 128.2 hp/l; current 2.0 AT / 2.0 MT 126.3 hp/l; current Hybrid 2.0 CVT 106.4 hp/l. The naturally aspirated 9 generation, restyling 2.4 MT 185 hp is 78.5 hp/l — 49.7 hp/l less than the current 1.5 Turbo. The 6 generation 2.2 MT 212 hp is 98.3 hp/l without Turbo.

Performance, mpg, 0-100

Current sedan: 2.0 AT 6.4 s / 250 km/h; 2.0 CVT Hybrid 7.7 s / 241 km/h; 1.5 CVT 8.5 s / 229 km/h; 1.5 MT 9.3 s / top speed not measured; 2.0 MT 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, fuel not measured. Mixed use: 1.5 CVT 7.1 vs 1.5 MT 7.8 — the Variable uses 0.7 l/100 km less than the Manual 6 with the same 192 hp engine. The MT is 24 kg lighter (1432 vs 1456) and 0.8 s slower.

Same Hybrid name, different cars: 10 generation, restyling 2.0 CVT 212 hp, 315 Nm, 7.7 s, 241 km/h, fuel not measured; 10 generation 2.0 CVT Hybrid 212 hp, 175 Nm (140 Nm less), 7.8 s, top speed not measured; 9 generation, restyling 2.0 CVT Hybrid 145 hp, 11.7 s, mixed 4.9; 9 generation 2.0 CVT Hybrid 196 hp, 8.5 s, 226 km/h, fuel not measured. The 145 hp Coupe Hybrid is 4.0 s slower than the current Hybrid and uses 4.9 mixed where the current 1.5 Gasoline uses 7.1.

8 generation Coupe 3.5 AT 271 hp: 6.2 s (0.2 s faster than current 2.0 AT). 8 generation, restyling Sedan 3.5 AT 271 hp: 6.6 s. 7 generation Estate 3.0 MT 240 hp: 6.6 s / 254 km/h — 4 km/h above current 2.0 AT. 6 generation 2.2 MT 212 hp: 6.9 s / 228 km/h at 1345 kg.

Diesel economy (where measured): 8 generation, restyling 2.2 MT mixed 5.3; 2.2 AT mixed 6.1. 8 generation Coupe 2.2 MT mixed 5.8; 2.2 AT mixed 5.9. 7 generation Estate 2.2 MT mixed 5.8. 6 generation Diesel 2.0 MT mixed 6.4, 13.5 s, 185 km/h. Gasoline 9 generation, restyling 2.4 CVT 185 hp mixed 7.8; 3.5 AT 278 hp mixed 9.4; 3.5 AT 281 hp mixed 9.1. 10 generation 2.0 CVT Gasoline 150 hp mixed 7.4 at 11.7 s / 207 km/h.

Dimensions, weight, tank

Current tank is 56 l — 9 l less than the 65 l used from 5 generation through 10 generation pre-restyle, and 14 l less than the 70 l on six 8 generation Coupe V6/2.4 rows. At the current 1.5 CVT mixed 7.1 l/100 km, 56 l is 789 km of mixed range on arithmetic; the 65 l 9 generation, restyling Hybrid at 4.9 mixed is 1327 km.

Kerb: lightest current is 1.5 MT 1432 kg; heaviest current is Hybrid 2.0 CVT 1540 kg (+108 kg). 2.0 AT is 1533 kg, 6.08 kg/hp; 2.0 MT 1497 kg, 5.94 kg/hp; 1.5 MT 7.46 kg/hp. Best kg/hp in the file among measured kerbs: 8 generation Coupe 3.5 MT 268 hp at 1461 kg = 5.45 kg/hp. Worst among measured: 6 generation Diesel 2.0 MT 105 hp at 1465 kg = 13.95 kg/hp.

Gross weight is not measured on all current rows. Measured examples: 10 generation 3.0 AT 2060 kg gross / 1729 kg kerb (heaviest kerb in the file); 9 generation, restyling Hybrid 2015 kg gross; 8 generation Coupe 2.0/2.2 rows 2100 kg gross.

Clearance: current 147 mm; 9 generation Hybrid 135 mm; 8 generation Coupe 2.0 AT 150 hp 135 mm; 7 generation Estate Diesel 140 mm; 5 generation 160 mm on measured rows; 6 and many 7/8 rows 150 mm. Wheels: current 225/50 R17 and 235/40 R19; 9 generation, restyling adds 215/55 R17 and 235/45 R18.

Independent, spring front and rear and Ventilated disc / Disc brakes are the recorded pattern on the current five. Euro 6 is recorded on current cars; Euro 5 on some 8 generation 2.0/2.2 rows; Euro 4 on some 8 generation, restyling 2.2/2.4/3.5 rows; many older eco class values are not measured. CO2 is not measured on these rows.

Which Honda Accord version to choose

Buy the current 2.0 AT if the job is the strongest measured performance in a current Sedan: 252 hp, 370 Nm from 1500–4000 rpm, Automatic 10, 6.4 s, 250 km/h, 1533 kg. Versus 1.5 CVT that is +60 hp, +110 Nm, −2.1 s, +21 km/h, +77 kg. Fuel and CO2 for 2.0 AT are not measured, so you cannot claim it uses more or less than the 1.5 from this file.

Buy the current 1.5 CVT if you want a full economy set, Euro 6, and the highest hp/l (128.2). Versus 1.5 MT: same 192 hp / 260 Nm / 1498 cc / Turbo / Direct injection (direct), but Variable vs Manual 6, 8.5 vs 9.3 s, mixed 7.1 vs 7.8, kerb 1456 vs 1432. The CVT is the cheaper-to-run of the pair on the given litres; the MT is the lighter car.

Buy the current 2.0 MT only if you want the 252 hp / 370 Nm engine with Manual 6 and 1497 kg. 0–100, top speed and fuel are not measured — you cannot rank it against 2.0 AT on those axes from this file. It is 36 kg lighter than 2.0 AT.

Buy the current 2.0 CVT Hybrid if you want Hybrid without Turbo: 212 hp, 315 Nm at 2000 rpm, 7.7 s, 241 km/h, 1540 kg, compression 13.5. Versus the 10 generation Hybrid 2.0 CVT with the same 212 hp: torque 315 vs 175 Nm, 7.7 vs 7.8 s, tank 56 vs 65 l, Euro 6 vs eco class not measured. Versus the 9 generation, restyling Hybrid 2.0 CVT 145 hp: +67 hp, −4.0 s, but that Coupe’s mixed 4.9 is the lowest Hybrid/Gasoline mixed in the file; the current Hybrid’s fuel is not measured.

Buy a 9 generation, restyling Coupe 3.5 AT if you want a V-shaped 6 without Turbo: 278 hp (7.2 s, mixed 9.4, 1598 kg) or 281 hp (7.2 s, 230 km/h, mixed 9.1, 1612 kg). Versus current 2.0 AT: +26 or +29 hp, +0.8 s, −20 km/h on the 281 hp row, +79 or +79 kg, tank 65 vs 56. 3.5 MT 278 hp is 1540 kg (58 kg lighter than the 278 hp AT) with mixed 10.7 — 1.3 l more than the 278 hp AT.

Do not treat every 2.4 as equal. On the 9 generation, restyling Coupe, 2.4 MT exists at 185, 188 and 192 hp (245, 245, 248 Nm). The 192 hp MT is +7 hp over the 185 hp MT at +56 kg (1498 vs 1442). 2.4 CVT 188 hp is the only 2.4 on that generation with 0–100 (9.4 s) and top speed (210 km/h). On 9 generation sedan, 2.4 AT 201 hp is 9.7 s / 227 km/h / mixed 8.6; 2.4 AT 180 hp is 10.1 s / 214 km/h / mixed 8.2 — the 201 hp car is 0.4 s faster and 0.4 l/100 km thirstier mixed.

Diesel vs Gasoline on 8 generation, restyling: 2.2 MT Diesel 150 hp / 350 Nm mixed 5.3 vs 2.0 MT Gasoline 156 hp mixed 7.2 — 1.9 l/100 km less, same 9.4 s, 212 vs 215 km/h, kerb 1544 vs 1523. 2.2 AT Diesel mixed 6.1 vs 2.0 AT Gasoline mixed 7.7. If litres matter more than the 6 hp Gasoline gap, the Diesel rows win on the given mixed figures.

AWD exists only on 7 generation: Coupe restyle 2.0 AT 152 hp AWD (10.9 s, 209 km/h, 1460 kg) vs FWD 2.0 AT 155 hp (11.5 s, 200 km/h, 1465 kg) — the AWD row is 0.6 s faster and 5 kg lighter in this file. Estate 2.4 AT 160 hp AWD is 1560 kg vs 1520 kg FWD (+40 kg); 2.4 AT 190 hp AWD is 1610 kg vs 1540 kg FWD (+70 kg). 0–100 on those AWD 2.4 rows is not measured.

Light, cheap-to-move old hatch: 6 generation 1.6 MT 116 hp, 12.1 s, 190 km/h, 1305 kg, 11.25 kg/hp. 5 generation 1.9 MT 125 hp is 1210 kg — lightest kerb in the file. 5 generation 2.2 AT 190 hp is 88.1 hp/l without Turbo.

What the later generation changed in arithmetic: Turbo 4-cylinder current cars replaced naturally aspirated 2.4/3.0/3.5 as the performance path. Current 2.0 AT 252 hp / 6.4 s vs 10 generation 3.0 AT 249 hp / 8.1 s: +3 hp, −1.7 s, −196 kg (1533 vs 1729), tank 56 vs 65. Current 1.5 CVT 192 hp / 8.5 s / mixed 7.1 vs 10 generation 2.4 CVT 188 hp / 9.4 s / mixed 7.7: +4 hp, −0.9 s, −0.6 l mixed, −14 kg. Hybrid system output on 2.0 CVT stays 212 hp from 10 generation into the restyle, but torque listed rises from 175 to 315 Nm. Body choice is Sedan now; Coupe last appears as 9 generation, restyling; Estate 5-door last as 7 generation; Hatchback 5-door as 6 generation.

Reliability, typical faults and prices are not in this dataset — they are not measured here. Problems cannot be ranked from these rows. The buying split that the numbers do support is: 2.0 AT for current speed, 1.5 CVT for a complete mpg picture, 2.0 CVT Hybrid for Hybrid in the current sedan, a 3.5 AT Coupe/sedan from 8 or 9 generation for V-shaped 6, 2.2 MT Diesel from 8 generation, restyling for mixed 5.3, and 7 generation AWD only if AWD is the requirement.
