In 2010, the Honda Accord offered multiple powertrains in North America: two gasoline engines and a hybrid option. Buyers could choose between a 2.4-liter inline-4, a 3.5-liter V6, or a hybrid powertrain that combined a gasoline engine with electric motors.
Engine options for the 2010 Accord
The following are the main engine choices available for the 2010 Accord, with their typical outputs and transmission pairings.
Primary engine options include:
- 2.4-liter inline-4 gasoline engine
- 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine
- 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain (gasoline engine combined with electric motors)
In the U.S. market, the two gasoline engines and the hybrid option were offered across different trims, with the four-cylinder serving as the common baseline and the V6 providing higher performance. The hybrid was available as a separate model/trim for fuel-conscious buyers.
2.4-liter inline-4 engine
The 2.4L i-VTEC engine produced about 177 horsepower and 161 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission, depending on the trim. This engine powered most LX and EX trims, balancing efficiency with adequate everyday performance.
3.5-liter V6 engine
The 3.5L V6 displaces 3.5 liters and delivers roughly 271 horsepower with around 254 lb-ft of torque. It was typically paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and was available on higher-end trims for stronger acceleration and highway performance.
2.0-liter hybrid powertrain
In the hybrid variant, a 2.0-liter inline-4 gasoline engine worked with electric motors to produce a combined output of about 253 horsepower. This setup used a CVT and targeted improved fuel efficiency for urban and mixed driving.
Summary
The 2010 Honda Accord offered three powertrain options in North America: a 2.4-liter inline-4, a 3.5-liter V6, and a hybrid variant with a 2.0-liter engine plus electric motors. The 2.4L provided efficient, reliable daily driving; the 3.5L V6 added strong performance; and the hybrid emphasized fuel economy without sacrificing overall capability. Availability varied by trim and market.
