Is the new Accord a three-cylinder or four-cylinder?

The new Accord is a four-cylinder model and does not use a three-cylinder engine. The new Accord is equipped with three types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. All three engines are four-cylinder. The dimensions of the new Accord are 4930mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2775mm. The new Accord features a full LED taillight assembly that enhances driving safety. The dazzling crystal LED headlights, with their unique square high-quality perspective refraction, exude dynamic tension and provide 50% wider illumination range compared to previous models.
I test drove the new Accord at the dealership a couple of days ago, and the sales manager explained the powertrain configurations in detail. The entire lineup now features four-cylinder engines, with no three-cylinder version available. The gasoline model uses a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering smooth acceleration that's more than adequate for city overtaking. The hybrid version is even more interesting—it pairs a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, offering quiet starts and fuel consumption as low as just over 4 liters. I remember the chassis tuning feels more solid than the previous generation, handling speed bumps with just two firm 'thuds,' and the trunk space is impressively spacious, easily fitting a stroller. If you're torn about the powertrain, I’d recommend test driving the hybrid version directly—the electric motor’s instant torque delivers a much more exhilarating push-back sensation than the gasoline-only model.
Last week, I accompanied my cousin to pick up his Phantom Night Premium Edition and specifically studied the engine bay. The gasoline version uniformly features a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, and the 194 horsepower makes driving this car effortless. The hybrid version comes with the fourth-generation i-MMD system, and the 2.0L Atkinson engine is indeed an inline four-cylinder, driving more like an electric vehicle. Interestingly, the exhaust pipe is hidden in the rear bumper, making it look like a new energy vehicle. I recommend focusing on the Sharp·Hybrid version, as it has quick throttle response and the engine intervention at high speeds is almost imperceptible. However, be aware of the tire noise issue; the factory-fitted Yokohama tires produce noticeable noise at speeds above 80 km/h.
