![]() Since the I4 has only one cylinder bank, it is mechanically simpler than the V6 resulting in fewer moving parts. There are other merits to an inline four-cylinder engine over a V6 as well. Although I haven’t had the opportunity to drive the new Accord yet, I suspect the 2.0L engine won’t need to offer any apologies to V6 buyers. This big-displacement level of torque should propel the new Accord with even more authority than before. Though the 2018 Accord’s 2.0L turbocharged engine is down a bit on horsepower compared to the 3.5L engine it replaces, it has more torque which should cover a much wider RPM range. Even with similar levels of horsepower and torque to the 2.4L it replaces, a broader torque curve should improve acceleration feel and result in greater fuel economy. Honda must also have a lot of confidence in it considering this engine is used in their most important vehicles including the Civic, CR-V, and now the Accord. So far, owners don’t seem to be reporting any significant issues which is a good sign. For 2018, the Accord uses turbocharged versions of much smaller 1.5L and 2.0L four-cylinder engines.Ī version of the 2018 Accord’s 1.5L turbocharged engine has been around for almost two years beginning with the 2016 Civic and more recently, the 2017 CR-V. ![]() Those wanting more power and smoothness could opt for a model equipped the 3.5L V6. It was reliable, efficient, and provided adequate power for most needs. ![]() The 2.4L engine was a fine choice for the Accord. Among the changes to the all-new 2018 Honda Accord were the elimination of it’s naturally-aspirated 2.4L four-cylinder and 3.5L six-cylinder engines that have served it well for years.
