The 2018 Honda Accord does come with a turbocharged engine. Specifically, for the Malaysian market, the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo is the mainstay. This engine kicks out 193 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT gearbox that strikes a nice balance between performance and fuel efficiency. Now, in some other markets, there's also a high-performance variant with a 2.0-litre turbo and a 10-speed automatic, but that one probably didn't make it to Malaysia. For Malaysian folks, that's a solid win - it handles daily commutes easily, has enough grunt for highway runs, and Honda's turbo engines are known for being reliable and easy on maintenance, which fits perfectly with our local roads and weather.
