The 2018 Accord Sport is powered by turbocharged four-cylinders: the standard Sport model uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4, while a higher-performance variant known as Sport 2.0T uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 with more power.
Engine options for the 2018 Accord Sport
Honda offered two turbocharged engines across the 2018 Accord Sport lineup. Below are the details for each engine option available with the Sport badge that year.
1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 (1.5T): Produces about 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in most configurations.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (2.0T): Delivers about 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission (no manual option in US-spec 2018 Accord Sport).
In practice, the 1.5T was the common choice for everyday driving with solid efficiency, while the 2.0T variant offered a sportier, higher-performance option for enthusiasts who wanted more acceleration.
Summary
The 2018 Honda Accord Sport can be equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, with the 1.5T serving as the standard option and the 2.0T providing a higher-performance alternative. The 1.5T typically uses a CVT, while the 2.0T uses a 10-speed automatic.
