Most 2017 Honda Accord Sport models are powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine (i-VTEC) producing about 189 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque; the 3.5-liter V6 was not offered on the Sport trim that year. The exact engine and transmission can vary by market and option package, so it’s best to verify using your VIN or the under-hood label.
Engine options in the 2017 Accord lineup
The 2017 Accord lineup offered two primary powertrains across different trims. The Sport, along with several other trims, typically used the 2.4L four-cylinder. A larger 3.5L V6 was available on higher-level trims in some markets, but not as part of the Sport configuration. The following list highlights the main configurations you might encounter.
- 2.4-liter inline-4 i-VTEC engine — approximately 189 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque
- 3.5-liter V6 engine — approximately 278 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque (available on higher trims; not standard on Sport)
Note: Engine availability can vary by region and by transmission choice (CVT or manual). This guide reflects typical 2017 U.S. configurations for the Accord.
In practical terms, most 2017 Accord Sport models use the 2.4L engine, with transmission choices including a CVT or, in some configurations, a manual. To be certain which engine your specific car has, verify the engine code on the engine itself or check the vehicle’s VIN and official documentation.
How to verify your engine
Follow these steps to confirm the exact engine in your 2017 Accord Sport:
- Look under the hood for the engine code plate (the label near the engine bay typically lists displacement and code, such as K24 for the 2.4L or J35 for the 3.5L).
- Check the VIN using Honda’s official VIN decoder or your dealership’s service portal; the VIN contains engine information in the build data.
- Review the original window sticker (Monroney label) or the owner’s manual, which list the engine displacement and transmission.
Note that regional variations and prior ownership changes can affect the engine installed in a given car. If you’re shopping or restoring a specific vehicle, confirming with the VIN is the most reliable method.
Summary
The typical engine for the 2017 Honda Accord Sport is the 2.4-liter inline-4 i-VTEC engine with about 189 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque. A 3.5-liter V6 existed on higher trims, but not on the Sport. Use the engine code plate, VIN, or window sticker to verify the exact configuration for your car.
