Higher-performance option in the Accord lineup

For buyers seeking more muscle, Honda offered a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine on other trims, including variants marketed as Sport 2.0T and Touring 2.0T. This engine delivers significantly more horsepower and torque than the 1.5T, but it uses a different transmission setup.
