The 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 143 kW and a maximum torque of 260 N·m. The engine reaches its peak power at 5,500 rpm, with maximum torque available between 1,600 to 5,000 rpm. It features an aluminum alloy cylinder head. The 10th-generation Accord has exterior dimensions of 4,893 mm in length, 1,862 mm in width, and 1,449 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,830 mm. The fuel tank capacity is 56 liters, and the curb weight is 1,495 kg. The body structure is a sedan, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

I recently got a 10th-generation Accord equipped with a 1.5L small turbocharged engine. It feels exceptionally smooth in daily driving, with brisk acceleration that never feels abrupt. In city traffic, it responds promptly to light throttle inputs, and fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging just 7-8L per 100km. Compared to the previous generation, this engine runs quieter with noticeably less vibration. After several months of use, I appreciate how its design considers real-world scenarios—like maintaining low RPM during highway cruising for both fuel efficiency and comfort. Maintenance is straightforward too, requiring only full synthetic oil changes every 10,000km. Occasionally using premium gasoline helps keep the engine in top condition without compromising long-term ownership experience, making it ideal for family commuting.

From a technical perspective, the 10th-generation Accord's core power sources include a 1.5L or 2.0L turbocharged engine equipped with direct fuel injection system, featuring a high compression ratio above 10:1 to improve fuel efficiency. The design utilizes aluminum alloy materials to reduce weight, and the turbocharger engages at low RPMs with almost no lag. I've studied its electronic control system - the ECU tuning prioritizes emission optimization and responsiveness. The hybrid version adds a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with an electric motor, achieving seamless power flow transition. Overall, Honda's powertrain focuses on reliability and economy, with user feedback highlighting strong durability, though regular inspection of turbo piping can prevent carbon buildup issues.

As a mechanic who has serviced many Accords, I find the 10th-gen engine focuses on easy maintenance. The main configurations are 1.5L or 2.0L turbocharged engines, with most issues stemming from neglecting air filter or oil changes. It's recommended to inspect the pipes every 8,000 km to prevent small particles from causing issues. Common feedback includes some owners noting slight but controllable turbo lag at low speeds. The hybrid version's motor unit is durable, rarely requiring major repairs. Daily maintenance just needs standard viscosity oil and periodic shop adjustments for the high-pressure injectors. This generation's engine design is mature with low failure rates—the key is avoiding unauthorized parameter modifications to preserve factory performance.
