Does the Honda Accord use the Earth Dreams engine?
2 Answers
The Honda Accord uses the Earth Dreams engine, which is part of Honda's new generation powertrain. The Accord is equipped with Honda's 2.4L low-power version naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 186 horsepower and a peak torque of 243 Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission, offering smooth stability and strong high-end burst power. Taking the 2021 Honda Accord 260TURBO Luxury Starry Sky Limited Edition as an example, it is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission and a 1.5T 194 horsepower L4 engine. Its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater, with exterior dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height.
As an enthusiast who frequently researches automotive technology, I have driven several Honda models and can confirm that the Honda Accord indeed utilizes the Earth Dreams engine. This series is quite common on the tenth-generation Accord, with both the 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter turbocharged versions equipped with Earth Dreams technology. Engineers incorporated advanced VTEC systems and direct fuel injection into the design, optimizing power output and fuel efficiency, making acceleration more agile and reducing highway fuel consumption to around 6 liters. Compared to the older K-series engines, Earth Dreams has made significant improvements in smoothness and noise control, while also supporting start-stop functionality to reduce emissions. Personally, I believe Honda has extended this concept to its hybrid models as well, offering both fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness for daily driving—truly a case of technology benefiting life.
