What is the engine model of the Honda Spirior?

LFA11 is the engine model used in the Honda Spirior, with a maximum horsepower of 146 hp, a maximum power of 107 KW, a maximum power speed of 6200 rpm, and a peak torque of 175 N.m. The engine of the Honda Spirior is produced in the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone. The engine of the Honda Spirior can be maintained daily using the following methods: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
As an owner of a 2014 Honda Spirior for nearly a decade, I've studied this car thoroughly. The Spirior's engines vary across generations. The first-gen domestic production model used the K24Z5 engine - a 2.4L with i-VTEC technology delivering exceptionally smooth power output. Paired with the 5AT transmission, it's remarkably worry-free, showing particularly noticeable burst power during hill climbs. The second generation brought changes - my model's 2.4L Earth Dreams engine (coded K24V4) delivers 208 horsepower, significantly more powerful than older versions while being more fuel-efficient. When buying used, pay special attention to distinguishing engine models. Though rare, post-2017 hybrid versions use a completely different 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine paired with an electric motor for a wholly different experience. Important maintenance tip: always use low-ash engine oil, especially for direct injection engines which are prone to carbon buildup.
