What engine does the 10th-generation Accord use?
2 Answers
The 10th-generation Accord is equipped with the L15B engine, a 1.5T turbocharged engine with two main features: the application of VTEC technology and a thermal efficiency of 38%. More details about the Accord are as follows: 1. As a best-selling mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, the Accord's exterior design continues to evolve towards a younger and more sporty direction, attracting many young consumers. The Accord (Accord), as the embodiment of Honda's 'Innovation' spirit and global leading technology, continuously creates new value and has won the trust of 19 million users worldwide. Over its 15 years in China, the Accord has consistently adhered to vertical generation updates and continuous evolution, earning the trust of over 1.5 million Chinese car owners. 2. The Accord adopts i-VTEC and an Intelligent Power Management System, which can automatically select between 3-cylinder and 6-cylinder operation modes based on actual road conditions. When the engine, through the Intelligent Power Management System, determines that the current driving condition is medium-speed cruising or low engine load, it will operate only one cylinder group, i.e., a 3-cylinder operation mode. When the driving condition requires high power output, such as during startup, acceleration, or climbing, all 6 cylinders of the engine will be engaged. 3. The Accord features a MacPherson front suspension with a lightweight design, improving driving performance by reducing body weight. Additionally, it utilizes liquid-filled flexible bushings, new valves and engine oil, as well as Teflon sealing ring technology to provide high-quality ride comfort.
Friends who have driven the 10th-generation Accord should know that it mainly uses the 1.5T L15B series engine. This Earth Dreams engine comes in high and low power versions, with the 230TURBO delivering a maximum of 177 horsepower and the 260TURBO reaching 194 horsepower, which is more than enough for daily driving. I particularly like the CVT transmission it comes with—smooth and fuel-efficient, averaging just over 7 liters per 100km in city driving. However, the engine can be a bit noisy during cold starts in northern winters, but it quiets down after warming up for half a minute. Remember to use low-ash engine oil during maintenance to prevent carbon buildup.
