Accord Coupe offers three engines: a 2.4-liter i-VTEC® 4-cylinder, putting out 190 hp; and two versions of a 271-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 (i-VTEC® is offered with automatic transmission and VTEC® is offered with the 6-speed manual transmission).EX-L V-6 models with automatic transmission come equipped with racy steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The i-VTEC engines, which come standard in all Accord Coupe models (except V-6 6MT), add more power and efficiency at all engine speeds. And the V-6 features the latest generation of Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, which activates the engine's cylinders as needed, providing both brisk acceleration and fuel savings.
