The Honda engine activates i-VTEC at 3500 RPM. Here is the relevant information: 1. Activation standard: 3500 RPM, listen carefully to the engine compartment sound. On the R18A1 engine, the VTEC engagement timing is set to potentially intervene at any RPM range between 1000-3500rpm, and beyond this range, regardless of how high the RPM is, the VTEC mechanism will not engage again. 2. VTEC: VTEC technology is actually developed by Honda for its own car engines, with relatively high requirements for the engine. Honda has a relatively high resale value for used cars in China, and sales are also very good. From the sales rankings, we can see that the top-selling models under Honda are the Fit, Civic, Accord, and CRV.

I've driven the 10th-generation Accord several times. The VTEC system typically engages around 3,500 RPM, at which point you can clearly feel the engine sound becoming rougher and the power increasing, making it particularly effective for high-speed overtaking or climbing hills. This system is designed to be fuel-efficient at low RPMs and explosive at high RPMs. For daily commuting below 3,000 RPM, it's very smooth, but once you hit 3,500 RPM, it feels like a different car with notably faster acceleration. I recommend those who want to experience VTEC to try flooring the throttle on a safe stretch of road to feel it. Honda's VTEC technology has always been a selling point, and the 1.5T engine in the 10th-generation Accord is well-tuned and easy to maintain.
