The 2024 Honda Accord does not offer a manual transmission in the United States. Instead, every model uses an automatic gearbox: a CVT on the 1.5-liter turbo and hybrid variants, and a 10-speed automatic on the 2.0-liter turbo models.
Transmission options for the 2024 Accord
The following outlines how the Accord’s gearboxes are paired with its engines and trims for the 2024 model year.
- 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) — standard on most non-hybrid trims.
- 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission — used on higher trims, delivering more performance.
- Hybrid variant uses a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine combined with a two-motor hybrid system and an electronic continuously variable transmission (e-CVT).
In summary, manual transmission is not offered on the 2024 Accord in the U.S.; shoppers choose among CVT, 10-speed auto, or hybrid e-CVT depending on the engine and trim.
Why Honda dropped the manual option
Industry trends in recent years have favored automatics for efficiency, emissions, and consumer demand. Honda has focused its Accord lineup on automatic transmissions to optimize fuel economy and refinement, while manual options have largely disappeared from mid-size sedans in the U.S.
What this means for buyers
Potential buyers who prefer a manual will find the Accord's current lineup only offers automated transmissions. Those who want maximum responsiveness and a traditional stick shift may need to consider other Honda models or different brands, but within the Accord family, a manual option is not available.
Summary
For the 2024 model year, the Honda Accord does not come with a manual transmission in the United States. Transmission choices depend on engine: CVT with the 1.5L turbo and hybrid, and a 10-speed automatic with the 2.0L turbo. The Accord Hybrid uses an e-CVT, and there is no manual option across trim levels.
