Is the Accord's engine imported?
2 Answers
Honda Accord's engine is domestically produced. The Accord fuel-powered models are equipped with a low-power L15BM type and a high-power L15BN type 1.5T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 130kW and 143kW respectively, and maximum torque outputs of 230Nm and 260Nm respectively. The Honda Accord hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid power system consisting of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor. Precautions for using car engines are as follows: Avoid driving in neutral. The engine itself has a deceleration and fuel-saving function, and shifting into neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. Pay attention to observation when using the vehicle. If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car 4S store to eliminate potential safety hazards. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or when impurities or sediments are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered in time. Otherwise, it may cause insufficient braking pressure, thereby affecting the braking effect.
As a long-time Accord owner, I've driven my Accord for over a decade and found that whether the engine is imported depends on the specific model and production period. For example, my previous seventh-generation Accord had a Japanese-imported engine, but starting with the ninth generation, localization began. Engines produced at Guangzhou Honda's factory are mostly domestically assembled. Honda has a global supply chain, so core components like pistons or crankshafts might be imported, but the entire unit is manufactured locally. This reduces costs without affecting performance—acceleration remains smooth. I recommend checking the vehicle's nameplate or certification, which indicates the engine's origin. Don't worry about quality; domestically produced engines are tested to be durable and easy to maintain. My car has run 200,000 kilometers with no major issues. When choosing a car, pay attention to the version—imported versions are rare but more expensive.
