New turbo engines in the 2018 Honda Accord

The Honda Accord has swapped its old four-cylinder and V6 engines for two new turbocharged engines that offer a level of performance that is both fuel-efficient and grin-inducing. The entry-level powerplant is a 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder that develops an impressive 192 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque.

Paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic gearbox, this engine delivers its torque at low RPMs which means that you always have plenty of power to pass or accelerate.

In addition, this turbo engine has an average fuel consumption rating that stands out with a posted average fuel economy rating of only 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway.

The other engine option is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that replaces the old V6. The latter develops an even more impressive 252 horsepower and an abundant 273 lb.-ft. of torque. The manual is available with this engine, but it is also possible to opt for a revolutionary 10-speed automatic gearbox.The latter improves not only comfort and performance, but also fuel consumption.

Versatility and safety improvements in spades for the 2018 Honda Accord

The 2018 Honda Accord offers an even more spacious and versatile interior while the trunk is one of the largest in its segment.
