Like most years, and due to its outstanding reputation, the 2010 Honda Accord is sure to be one of the best selling cars on the market. While the car is best known for its reliability, style, and affordability, the 2010 Accord has three different engine options to choose from.
The first option to choose from when selecting an Accord is the 2.4 liter four cylinder motor. This one is found in both the LX and LX-P sedans. It generates 177 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque. The LX and LX-P model engines, with automatic transmissions, get great fuel economy of 30 mpg in the city and 21 on the highways in.
For those who want to slightly upgrade the power under the hood, the EX model sedan comes with a 2.4 liter engine that generates 190 horsepower. This is available in both EX sedans and coupes and can be either a five speed manual transmission or a five speed automatic transmission. The 190 horsepower engine has similar fuel economy to the LX model’s engine.
The 2010 Honda Accord EX also can come with an optional 3.5 liter V6 engine which produces 271 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. The V6 can come in a six speed manual transmission can come in coupes, but from the sedan or automatic transmissions, the engine must be a five speed. Fuel economy within the Accords with V6 engines is worse than the 4 liter engines, but is much better than comparable cars.
To say the least – The 2010 Honda Accord engines are almost identical to those within the 2009 Accords.
