In short, the 2015 Honda Accord offered two gasoline-transmission options: a six-speed manual on select 2.4-liter trims and a six-speed automatic on most trims, while the 3.5-liter V6 used an automatic only; the Hybrid uses an e-CVT.
Across the lineup, transmission choice depended on engine and trim. This article breaks down which transmission maps to each powertrain and trim level for the 2015 Accord.
Gasoline four-cylinder engines
Manual transmission (2.4L)
The following breakdown covers the four-cylinder gas-engine transmission options in the U.S. market.
- Six-speed manual transmission with the 2.4-liter engine was offered on the Accord Sport trim (availability varied by market).
If you see a 2015 Accord with a 2.4L engine featuring a manual, it’s typically the Sport trim or a market where the manual option was available.
Automatic transmission (2.4L)
The following breakdown covers the four-cylinder gas-engine automatic options in the U.S. market.
- Six-speed automatic transmission with the 2.4-liter engine was standard or widely available on LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims in most markets.
In practice, most 2015 Accords with the 2.4L engine used the six-speed automatic unless equipped with the manual option on Sport.
V6 engine
Automatic transmission (3.5L)
The following breakdown covers the V6 engine's transmission option in the U.S. market.
- Six-speed automatic transmission was the only transmission offered with the 3.5-liter V6.
So, a 2015 Accord equipped with the 3.5L V6 is expected to have an automatic transmission only.
Hybrid model
Hybrid (e-CVT)
The following breakdown covers the hybrid powertrain’s transmission approach.
- Electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) used in the 2015 Accord Hybrid, providing seamless power delivery between the gas engine and electric motors.
The Hybrid’s e-CVT is distinct from the conventional manual/automatic options found on the gasoline models.
Summary
The 2015 Honda Accord offered a mix of transmissions depending on powertrain: the 2.4L four-cylinder could be paired with either a six-speed manual (Sport trim, in markets where offered) or a six-speed automatic; the 3.5L V6 used an automatic-only transmission; and the Hybrid used an e-CVT. When evaluating a specific 2015 Accord, the engine and trim badge are the quickest indicators of the correct transmission type.
