The number of cylinders in a Honda Accord's engine depends on the specific model and year. Here in Malaysia, the current tenth-generation Accord (2018-2023) comes with either a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine (the L15B type) or a 2.0L hybrid system that pairs with a four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine. Over in North America and other markets, they also get a 2.0T turbocharged version (the K20C type), which is *also* a four-cylinder design. So, across the board, the current Accord lineup is strictly four-cylinder.
For Malaysian buyers, four-cylinder engines bring clear perks in terms of fuel efficiency and maintenance costs. The 1.5T, in particular, is a solid all-rounder – it cranks out 193 horsepower while sipping fuel at around 6.5L/100km combined, which fits local driving conditions perfectly.
Just a quick history note: older Accords (generations six through eight) did offer V6 six-cylinder options. But as the global auto industry shifted toward more efficient small-displacement turbos and hybrid setups, four-cylinders have become the go-to for midsize sedans. If you're shopping used, though, keep in mind that pre-2008 V6 models will have different power delivery and maintenance requirements compared to today's Accords.
