No—the 2019 Honda Accord does not offer a V6 engine in the United States; it relies on turbocharged four-cylinder powerplants instead.
With a redesign that began in 2018, Honda shifted the Accord lineup away from a V6 configuration, focusing on fuel-efficient and responsive turbocharged four-cylinders. This article reviews the engines Honda offered in 2019 and why a V6 was not part of the package.
Engine options in 2019
Here are the gasoline engine choices you could get in the U.S. market for the 2019 Accord.
- 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4: approximately 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and was available across most non-sport trims.
- 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4: roughly 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a 10‑speed automatic transmission and was offered on the Sport, EX-L, and Touring trims.
Neither option is a V6; Honda instead emphasized turbocharged four-cylinders to balance performance and efficiency across the lineup.
Historical context: V6 in earlier Accord generations
In earlier Accord generations, most notably before the 2018 redesign, a 3.5-liter V6 engine was offered in higher-spec trims. Honda retired the V6 configuration with the 2018 model year, returning the line to four-cylinder turbo power as the standard, with the hybrid variant using a different powertrain altogether.
What this means for buyers
For buyers, the 1.5T delivers solid daily driving efficiency and adequate acceleration, while the 2.0T provides stronger, near-sporty performance without a V6’s weight. If a V6 remains a must-have, buyers would need to look at older Accord generations or other Honda models, or explore the used market of pre-2018 Accord V6 editions.
Summary
The 2019 Honda Accord does not include a V6 option. It relies on a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder and a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, offering competitive power with modern efficiency and a shift away from traditional V6 configurations. This approach aligned with Honda’s wider strategy for the mid-size sedan lineup in the late 2010s.
