The 2011 Honda Accord’s 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 177 horsepower.
Beyond the headline figure, that horsepower rating comes from Honda’s i-VTEC design and pairs with about 161 lb-ft of peak torque. In the 2011 lineup, the engine produces this power regardless of whether the car uses the five-speed manual or the five-speed automatic transmission. Power is essentially the same across LX, EX, and EX-L trims, with small differences in how it feels on the road due to gearing and overall weight rather than a different engine output.
Official power figures
The following details summarize the core power characteristics for the 2.4L engine used in the 2011 Accord.
- Horsepower: 177 hp at 6,300 rpm
- Torque: 161 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm
- Transmission options: 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic
- Drive layout: Front-wheel drive (FWD)
These figures reflect the engine’s peak output and its typical operating range in everyday driving. Real-world performance can vary with drivetrain load, gearing, and vehicle condition.
Trims and performance notes
In the 2011 Accord, all 2.4L four-cylinder models share the same horsepower rating. Differences between trims mainly affect features, weight, and aerodynamics, which can influence how the engine’s horsepower translates to real-world acceleration.
Manual vs automatic feel
Although peak horsepower remains the same, the automatic’s gear ratios and torque delivery can alter perceived acceleration and throttle response compared with the manual version. Fuel economy and shifting characteristics also differ between transmissions.
Summary
In short, the 2011 Honda Accord 2.4L four-cylinder engine is rated at 177 horsepower (161 lb-ft of torque). Transmission choice does not change the horsepower rating, and the figure is consistent across LX, EX, and EX-L trims for that model year.
