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.
