Is there a V6 Honda Accord?
No. The current Honda Accord does not offer a V6 engine. The V6 option existed in earlier generations, but since the 2018 redesign Honda shifted to turbocharged four-cylinders and a hybrid powertrain.
Current engine options
The Accord lineup today focuses on turbocharged four-cylinders and a hybrid system. Here are the primary powertrains available in recent model years.
- 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4: ~192 horsepower and ~192 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT); front-wheel drive.
- 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4: ~252 horsepower and ~270–273 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic; front-wheel drive.
- Hybrid: a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-4 paired with electric motors for a combined ~204 horsepower, using an electric CVT; front-wheel drive.
Note: All current Accords are front-wheel drive; there is no all-wheel-drive option in the modern lineup.
In short, there is no V6 option in the current Accord lineup. If you want a V6, you would be looking at older model years, not a new car.
Historical V6 availability
Historically, Honda did offer V6 power in Accords across several generations. The late 1990s through the mid-2000s included a 3.0-liter V6 in some trims, and the 2008–2017 generation offered a 3.5-liter V6 in higher-end versions. For the 2018 model year, Honda redesigned the Accord and eliminated the V6 option in favor of turbocharged four-cylinder engines and a hybrid system. Consequently, today’s model year Accord has no V6 option.
If you’re set on a V6-power feel within the Honda family, you could consider older Accord models with V6 power or explore other Honda vehicles that still offer V6 engines, such as the Pilot, Odyssey, or Ridgeline, or consider Acura models like the TLX or MDX.
What this means for buyers
For most buyers seeking modern efficiency, strong performance, and advanced technology, the current Accord’s turbocharged four-cylinders and hybrid option deliver compelling results without a V6. If V6 power is essential, you’ll need to look at used older Accords or other Honda models outside the Accord lineup.
Summary
The Honda Accord no longer offers a V6 engine in its current generation (2018 model year onward). The last Accord with a V6 was produced for earlier model years, with the 3.5-liter V6 appearing in the 2008–2017 range. Today’s Accord focuses on 1.5T, 2.0T, and hybrid powertrains, all of which are four-cylinder configurations and front-wheel drive.
