Yes—the Honda Accord has used a 2.4-liter K-series engine in several generations.
Across its history, Honda deployed the K24 family in Accords from the early 2000s through the early 2010s. In the US market, newer Accords since roughly 2018 shifted to turbocharged 1.5L and 2.0L engines and no longer offered a K24; some non-U.S. markets did vary.
What is the K24 engine family?
The K24 is Honda’s 2.4-liter inline-four engine family, part of the K-series that also includes the 2.0-liter K-series. These engines are known for i-VTEC variable valve timing and have powered many Accords, CR-Vs, TSX, and other models. In the Accord, the K24 produced roughly 160–190 hp depending on generation and spec.
K24 in the Honda Accord by generation
Here is a snapshot of generations where the 2.4L K-series appeared in the Accord lineup, with approximate years and notes on common variants.
- 7th generation (2003–2007): 2.4L i-VTEC four-cylinder, commonly known in the K24A family (A1/A3 variants) used in LX/EX trims.
- 8th generation (2008–2012): 2.4L i-VTEC with updated K24Z-series variants across several trims.
- 9th generation (2013–2017): 2.4L i-VTEC continued in many markets, often referred to broadly as a 2.4L K-series engine, with variant codes depending on market.
Important: engine codes can vary by model year and region; the exact K-series designation (A/D/Z/W families) differs between markets and trims.
Current status: does the Accord still have a K24?
In the current US-market lineup, the Accord no longer uses a K-series 2.4L engine; recent models rely on turbocharged 1.5L or 2.0L engines. Some non-U.S. markets historically offered different configurations, but the K24 is not standard in the latest U.S. generation.
Summary
The Honda Accord did indeed feature a 2.4-liter K-series engine in several generations, particularly from the mid-2000s through the early 2010s. While the K24 played a key role in older Accords, recent models have shifted to turbocharged engines and do not use the K24 in the U.S. market. Always check your specific model year and regional market for exact engine codes and configurations.
