The horsepower of the Accord is 1.5T CVT 190 km. Other information about the Honda Accord is as follows: 1. Technical Specifications; The engine is an i-VTEC engine, with a five-speed automatic transmission, a displacement of 2400cc, a maximum power of 125Kw/5800rpm, and a maximum torque of 220Nm/4000rpm. 2. Suspension Type; Front double-wishbone independent suspension/rear five-link double-wishbone independent suspension. 3. Vehicle Weight and Dimensions; The body weight is 1495kg, with a wheelbase of 2738mm, track (front/rear) 1551/1551mm, length 4854mm, width 1821mm, and height 1463mm.
I drove my friend's 10th-generation Accord 1.5T version, and the actual wheel horsepower was around 170 to 180, which is significantly less than the claimed 192 horsepower. This is mainly due to power loss in the transmission and driveshaft. I found the acceleration quite smooth when starting, but the difference was noticeable during high-speed overtaking. There are many influencing factors, such as wet roads or tire wear, which can reduce traction and further diminish the actual output. Therefore, it's recommended to maintain proper tire pressure to avoid safety issues. According to various owner forums and test reports, the average is around 176, which isn't surprising but is sufficient.
