The engine remains the same for the 2.0 VTi and the 3.0 V6, but there has been an upgrade on the K24A in the 2.4 VTi-L. The 2.4 VTi-L originally came with a K24A which made 160hp at 5,500rpm. Through intake and exhaust adjustments as well as some tuning on the variable valve timing, the new K24A now outputs 170hp at 5,800rpm. Torque figures are 218Nm at 4,000rpm. Like the 3.0 V6, the 2.4 VTi-L’s K24A also has a drive-by-wire throttle, as opposed to the 2.0 liter model’s conventional cable throttle.

Just for a recap, the Accord 2.0 VTi uses the K20A3, which makes 150hp at 6,000rpm and 186Nm of torque at 4,500rpm. The Accord 3.0 V6 has a J30A4 V6 SOHC VTEC engine, making 240 horsepower at 6,250rpm and 287Nm of torque at 5,000rpm. All three engine options come with 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmissions, but there is no paddle-shift option like the one available on the Civic.
