What engine does the 2018 Accord have?

The standard engine for the 2018 Accord is a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces up to 192-hp and 192 lbs-ft of torque, that comes with the option of either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). If you're looking for more power though, some trim levels of the 2018 Accord offer the option of upgrading to a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 252-hp and 273 lbs-ft of torque. That engine also offers an option between a 10-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual one. The Hybrid model has a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 143-hp. The combination of the engine and electric motors can produce up to 212-hp. Drivers in Mechanicsburg and Tyrone can choose the 2018 Accord with the power and performance that suits their driving needs.

The new Accord really has no weaknesses on the road. The applicable power and drivetrains perform well. The most common 1.5L turbo is highly responsive and has plenty of power for around town or out on the highway. It can do 0-60 mph in 8 seconds. The 2.0L improves on these numbers. The brakes on the Accord stop the vehicle quickly, smoothly and quietly. The brakes never feel like they are over grabbing. During a panic stop from 60 mph, the car can stop within 122 feet. The electric power steering feels natural and is highly responsive and accurate. The vehicle is also deceivingly maneuverable, which would be useful in locations like Penn State and Philipsburg with small parking spaces.

The infotainment system is a huge upgrade over its predecessor. It interfaces with a heads-up display and gauge clusters, which display important vehicle and trip information, right in front of the driver. Many of the important safety and other convenience aids come standard. The voice command feature will give you safe, hands-off control, over a variety of functions. The premium radio system has plenty of distortion free power. The intuitive navigation system has excellent graphics, and is a breeze to operate and follow.

The latest in smartphone integration puts music and navigation on the display screens. Whether your preference is Apple or Android devices, the infotainment system will integrate flawlessly with them. The new Bluetooth pairing feature is nice, and enables a quick connection and setup. These features will be handy if you live in Mechanicsburg, Penn State or anywhere else.
