The 2010 Honda Accord Coupe offered two engine options: 177 horsepower from a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 271 horsepower from a 3.5-liter V6.
Engine options and horsepower
The following engine choices were available for the 2010 Accord Coupe, with their official horsepower ratings.
- 2.4 L inline-4 engine (K24Z3): 177 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 161 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Transmission options included a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic.
- 3.5 L V6 engine (J35Z6): 271 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 254 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Transmission options included a 5-speed automatic or, in certain configurations, a 6-speed manual.
Note: Horsepower figures are the SAE net ratings used for U.S.-market models of that year. While transmission choices affect acceleration and drive feel, the horsepower itself is defined by the engine option selected.
Transmission considerations
Engine power figures remain tied to the engine, not the transmission, but gear ratios and shifts influence how that power is delivered to the wheels. The four-cylinder version delivers fewer horsepower and typically slower 0–60 mph times than the V6, regardless of whether paired with a manual or automatic transmission.
Other notes about the 2010 Accord Coupe
In the 2010 lineup, the Coupe was offered with the two engines above; there was no separate hybrid version for the Coupe in that model year. The hybrid option existed in the broader Accord range (primarily in sedan form) around that era but was not carried over to the Coupe body style for 2010.
Summary
In sum, the 2010 Honda Accord Coupe could produce 177 hp with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or 271 hp with the 3.5-liter V6, with transmission choices (manual or automatic) that affected performance feel but not the base horsepower rating of each engine.
