Does the Honda Accord use the Earth Dreams engine?
2 Answers
Starting from the ninth generation, the Honda Accord has been equipped with the 1.5T version of the Earth Dreams series engine. The tenth-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T version engine and a 2.0L version engine, with the 1.5T version also belonging to the Earth Dreams series. The tenth-generation Accord has a length, width, and height of 4893mm, 1862mm, and 1449mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. The Accord features refined and smooth body lines, blending fashion, dynamism, and elegance in its overall design. Its all-new rear styling catches the eye, utilizing LED high-mounted brake lights commonly found in luxury models and elegant triangular combination taillights, creating a simple yet striking impression that, together with the unique wide license plate panel, conveys a sense of sophistication and stability.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for four years, and the engine cover clearly bears the Earth Dreams logo. Earth Dreams is actually Honda's entire powertrain technology system, not just referring to a specific engine. The current new Accord's 1.5T turbo engine represents the third generation of Earth Dreams, most notably featuring high-precision direct fuel injection for exceptionally crisp power response. The previous 9th-generation Accord's 2.4L naturally aspirated engine was also Earth Dreams, but compared to the current VTEC Turbo, it consumes significantly more fuel. The hybrid version's 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine actually belongs to this same technology system too, though Honda markets it separately as the e:HEV system. When I bought the Accord, the salesperson said 80% of Honda models use Earth Dreams technology - which is true.
