What is the real fuel consumption of the 6th generation Accord 2.3?
3 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the 6th generation Accord 2.3 is around 10 liters. Model Information: The Accord, as the embodiment of Honda's 'Innovation' spirit and global leading technology, continues to create new value and has won the trust of 19 million users worldwide. In 1999, the sixth-generation Accord entered China, becoming the first time the latest and most advanced global model was introduced simultaneously in the Chinese automotive market. Over the 15 years since its entry into China, the Accord has consistently adhered to vertical generation updates and continuous evolution, earning the trust of over 1.5 million Chinese car owners. Powertrain Technology: Building on Honda's unique VTEC technology, it employs direct injection, Atkinson cycle, and VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control), along with the introduction of an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, improving fuel economy by 13% and increasing maximum torque by 8%.
As a long-time owner of a 6th-generation Accord 2.3, I find the real-world fuel consumption quite honest. In city driving, it ranges between 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways it can drop to 7 to 8 liters. I've tested this multiple times - during daily commutes in traffic jams, the fuel gauge drops rapidly, requiring weekly refueling which adds up. Although it's an older model, the engine is fairly durable, though aggressive acceleration in city driving does increase fuel consumption. On average, combined fuel consumption is around 9 to 10 liters, slightly higher than the official 8-point-something liters claim, considering real-world conditions with traffic lights and short trips. I believe it's worth it - keeping a light foot on the pedal makes the fuel consumption quite manageable. For an older car, some maintenance can help improve fuel efficiency.
A friend asked me about the fuel consumption of this generation Accord. As an experienced driver with over 20 years behind the wheel and having driven several models of this type, I typically get around 9 to 11 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, with better performance on highways at 6 to 8 liters. Real-world fuel consumption is significantly affected by the vehicle's age. After all, as a car gets older—like mine with 150,000 kilometers on it—issues like aging spark plugs or frequent traffic jams can easily increase fuel consumption. I recommend regular checks on tire pressure and air filters, which can help maintain an average of around 10 liters. Overall, it's a bit more fuel-thirsty compared to modern cars, but it was considered economical in its time, making it a durable choice for daily commuting.
