The 2014 Honda Accord does not use a V4 engine. Its standard powerplant is a 2.4-liter inline-4 with i-VTEC, and a larger 3.5-liter V6 is available on higher trims.
Engine options in the 2014 Accord
The following list highlights the two available engine configurations and their core characteristics.
2.4-liter inline-4 (i-VTEC) — This is the standard engine for most trims. It produces approximately 185 horsepower and about 181 lb-ft of torque. It can be paired with a CVT (the most common setup) or, on select configurations, a 6-speed manual transmission.
3.5-liter V6 (i-VTEC) — An optional, more powerful choice available on higher trims. It delivers around 278 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
In practice, the 4-cylinder configuration is chosen for better fuel economy and everyday driving, while the V6 is selected by buyers seeking stronger acceleration and higher performance in models like EX-L V6 and Touring.
Inline-4 engine details
The 2.4-liter inline-4 uses Honda’s i-VTEC variable valve timing to balance performance and efficiency. It is the core powerplant for most sedan versions and is well-matched to either a CVT or a manual transmission, depending on the trim.
V6 engine details
The 3.5-liter V6 brings more horsepower and torque to the Accord lineup. It is designed for smoother, more energetic acceleration and is typically available with a 6-speed automatic transmission, enhancing refinement in higher-end trims.
Summary: The 2014 Honda Accord offers two engine configurations—an inline-4 as the standard choice and a 3.5-liter V6 as an upgrade—there is no V4 option in this model year.
