In 2011, torque depends on the engine: the 2.4-liter four-cylinder makes about 161 lb-ft (218 Nm) of torque, while the 3.5-liter V6 makes about 254 lb-ft (344 Nm).
This article breaks down the torque figures for the Accord's two primary powertrains and notes how transmission and drivetrain choices affect torque delivery.
Engine options and torque
The 2011 Honda Accord offered two main engines with distinct torque profiles.
Four-cylinder 2.4-liter
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder’s torque specification is shown below:
- Peak torque: 161 lb-ft (218 Nm) at approximately 4,000–4,500 rpm
At typical driving speeds, this level of torque supports smooth response in everyday acceleration and overtaking when needed.
V6 3.5-liter
The 3.5-liter V6’s torque specification is shown below:
- Peak torque: 254 lb-ft (344 Nm) at around 5,000 rpm
This higher torque level, combined with the V6’s horsepower, provides stronger mid-range and highway acceleration, especially with the available transmissions.
Drivetrain considerations
Engine torque figures refer to the engine output. Actual torque delivered to the wheels varies with drivetrain setup, transmission choice (manual or automatic), gear ratios, and other losses in the drivetrain. Readers should note that wheel torque will be lower than peak engine torque due to these real-world factors.
Summary
For the 2011 Honda Accord, engine torque ranges from about 161 lb-ft (218 Nm) on the 2.4L four-cylinder to about 254 lb-ft (344 Nm) on the 3.5L V6. Real-world torque at the wheels depends on the chosen transmission and drivetrain configuration, as well as operating RPM.
