2018-2022 Honda Accord 1.5 vs 2.0. What you should know before buying any of these vehicles

So I wanted to share my experience with the gas mileage between the 1.5 and 2.0. I’ve had both and drive the exact same places. The 2.0 for me gets about 7 mpg less. So it’s a substantial decrease in mpg. I would suggest getting the 1.5 if you’re doing a lot of stop and go driving or a lot of commuting. Hoping this video can help some of you guys out if you’re debating on which model to get.

[@andro995]

I drive mainly highway miles. I bought a 2018 2.0 a few months ago and I reset trip A to keep track of my mpg over the life time of the car. I usually go 75-80 mph and over the last 3,000ish miles I’ve averaged 27.8 mpg so far and it’s continued to slowly climb up. Over the last 3 weeks I’m getting 30-32 mpg as I drive back and forth from work. My only complaint so far is how small the gas tank is, only getting about 360 miles per fill.

[@vistastructions]

I have a 2020 EX 1.5T. In the city it gets around 27 mpg because of traffic, but on the highways it gets 40+. I did a road trip with 2 other people where half of the tank was done at around 60 mph and I clocked 44.9 mpg at the pump. I do notice that once you go past 70 mph, the mpg can drop significantly

[@thescramble4309]

I’m getting around 32.5 in my 1.5. But I’m so jealous of y’all with the 2.0 I want one so bad. My wife drove my car to work this week and she averaged 27.8 , I’d say she was driving spirited lol. She thinks it’s quick, but she drives an AWD Rav 4, so yea accord seems quick to her.

I have also recently updated to a 2.0 from a 1.5 a month and a half ago, and I drive a mixture of city and highway. My old average was 31-32ish and my current average is 28 with the 2.0. This is definitely driving sensible on long trips as well. IMO 100% worth the trade off with how much quicker it is!

The manual transmission gives you just a little more around 24ish on the 2.0

[@Aaron-eb2cd]

If you want a more accurate reading of your gas mileage, you can reset the trip A on the dash. I reset mine every morning after warming up the car, then read the dash at the end of the day. Also stay on top of the maintenance, because these turbo Accords are notorious for over heating and causing head gasket failures. Theres dozens of videos on KZbin regarding this issue. Especially the 1.5 Liter engines, but it happens to the 2.0 too

[@alteregos8949]

Bought a 21 Touring new last month and I agree completely with you on the mileage being kind of poor for a 2.0. Like you i’m not a commuter so I’m not impacted by it. Owning a GT Mustang 5.0 i’m going to say that the car doesn’t do too much better than that economy wise really. Was going to buy another new GT Premium and I had one that I was waiting on to get received by the dealers in 8 days when I shopped and I decided to test a 2.0T Accord. Well seeing that I bought the Accord I will say that I was totally impressed by the power and handling of the car and it’s creature comforts. It’s a very fun car to drive and I am very happy I decided to purchase it versus the Mustang. The Accord definitely satisfied my need for a car with Comfort, style, tech and power overall.

[@HondaJon]

Nice choice. It definitely does a lot well. The power is perfect and like you said it handles well.

[@CNyceNC]

I currently am at 24 mpg in the city; no ECON mode, on my 2.0T. I took her on a 1400 mile (round trip) and was getting about 33 mpg on the highway.

[@sn4rl277]

The 10 speed transmission has a some to do with MPG of the 2.0t Accord on the highway. Honda's K20C is an amazing engine that is designed to give a nice flat torque curve though out the middle of the RPM's. I am hearing most Accord 2.0t owners running 80 MPH and only turning around 2500 RPM's which means better MPG then the older v6 accords. I was lucky to get 28 MPG on the highway with my 7th gen v6 (5 speed transmission).

[@tainguyen9293]

I just traded my 1.5t to the 2.0. Lost $8000, but its worth every single penny and it drive like butter! So anyone looking to buy the new generation accord, just go straight to the 2.0! No gas difference!

I have a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T and probably 75% of my driving is highway. I haven't reset the Trip B mileage since I got it and I'm averaging 29.5 so far. I would not want to be without the power of the 2.0T. Love this engine. And that fuel economy is great by me. Thankfully, I don't have to do a lot of in town driving. Getting ready to take some long trips in October and I feel confident that my overall miles per gallon will rise over 30.

[@HondaJon]

That’s great mpg for the 2.0. I can never get over 25 but I do mainly city driving.

[@a32tl]

[@robertwilliams2498]

2021 Touring here. 7k miles. Overall mpg right around 26mpg in mixed driving. It has been increasing little by little. My complaint is the size of the fuel tank. It holds around 3 gallons less than my 9th gen accord. Would be nice to go a little further w/o filling up. Still worth it though. It is fun to drive and uses a real 10 speed automatic. If the 1.5T had the same transmission would have given it more consideration.

I normally drive with the trans in "D" and the ECO mode on driving gently. I average 35.5 mpg and have gotten as much as 40.3 mpg on a long hwy trip. Now sometimes I put the trans in "S" without the ECO on and I will tell you, it is spirited enough to do whatever you need to do! Its quite surprising and has good throttle response for the displacement. Not a race car and I'm certain the 2.0T is even more so but its nice! I've seen all the videos of head to head races with the competitive companies comparable cars. The 2.0T always wins but sometimes only by a nose.

[@KayD14]

Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t think I needed the 2.0 when I bought my 1.5 two years ago, until I started divulging into forums praising the 2.0’s superiority, leading to buyer’s remorse. However, practically driving a 1.5 in stop and go traffic makes more sense. Better MPG, and because of traffic conditions I wouldn’t maximize the 2.0’s power anyways. While I’d still love to own a 2.0 one day, I’m happy with my car from a practicality and financial standpoint 👌

I commute a lot for the job that I do & I had a 5.0 V8 f150 4x4 believe it or not that thing was averaging 22 mpg. But the fill ups were killing me at $80 a tank. I traded it for the 1.5 sport accord $30 fill ups 34 mpg average lately cannot complain about the mpg. The ride is kinda bumpy definitely a big difference from a truck to a car for my daily lol. anything I can do to improve the comfort of the ride? It came with Goodyear tires.

[@alteregos8949]

Also, I believe that the transmission is the main reason for the economy loss in the 2.0 The main reason other than the bigger motor was avoiding the CVT Transmission. They are junk. Expensive to repair when the warranty ends and it’s still an evolving technology. I’ll probably never buy a CVT model unless i’m absolutely forced to if Honda stops producing standard automatic transmissions in their cars.

[@chodkowski01]

CVT or oil dilution take your pick.

I'm getting around the same MPG as you too in my 20 Touring. I do use sport mode occasionally but I was actually expecting better MPG though. I had a 1.5 Sport before and yes the gas is better but it was lacking features and not so much power for me. I know Honda got rid of the 1.5T Touring in 2019 but I think that would've been the best of both worlds, good gas with the most features possible. I would've still gotten my 2.0T of course haha. Once you go 2.0T you can't go back. I do miss the sound of a V6 though but that's why we have exhaust kits along with a cold air intake. Both of these mods are on my wishlist of course. Next mod is getting some eibach sports springs! I want to keep my active dampers so just a 1" drop should be nice enough for me. Then I wanna get some 20" rims.

I try not to lead foot mine but I was still only getting around 17-18 mpg. I thought I was doing OK until I let my mom use it for a few hours. When she brought it back it was at 24 mpg. Sometimes I wish my foot didn't weigh so much.

[@sn4rl277]

I knew the 28 MPG was not fully what you would get day to day. EPA estimates are for the EPA, not really for the daily driver. I have the 9th gen 2.4 liter CVT and get on average 26 MPG, so I knew the 2.0t isn't going to get 28 MPG even on a good day in and around the city. I have struggled with either getting the 1.5t or the 2.0t. I have had a 7th gen v6 and a 9th gen 4 banger CVT. I cannot say I totally miss the v6 on daily driving. I can tell it the 2.4l CVT doesn't have the get up and go of the v6. But once you are moving the CVT is just as speedy on the highway as the v6. I am really torn on the 10th gen which one I will get. I wish Honda would have kept the 2.0t and added the Hybrid system over the 1.5t, but I get why with the 41-46 MPG on the 11th gen Hybrids.

[@SuperRedman76]

2.0 will give you less gas simply bc it's a 2.0 and it's the sports model. In my 1.5 I get min 29 mpg, coming off the highway from long driving, I've stayed at 30.5 mpg for the past two weeks.

[@mirzaharisbaig7083]

[@TheOfficial_AW]

I live in the city and just use my car to commute. More power is nice, I’ve had a fast car before, but honestly I like the cheaper insurance and gas since I live in Cali

[@HondaJon]

I feel ya. Yeah gas is getting ridiculous. It’s over $5 where I am already

[@TheOfficial_AW]

@@HondaJon Yeah an extra 60 Horsepower just isn’t enough for me to justify the gas. If they had AWD with a 2.0T I might’ve done it

[@HondaJon]

I agree with that. It’s the same platform. Like you said awd would make a big difference

[@jgonzalez9120]

I'm getting 23.6 mpg in my 2020 accord 2.0 sport. I work in real estate so a lot of City miles in the Houston area. This thing flies and I always hit the gap 😎 I drive fast and the turbo gets used alot lol you must be putting the pedal to the metal to only get 20 MPG! I'm sure if I was more conservative I could get about 27 or 28 MPG

I hear ya. Yeah I don’t drive crazy but I drive very short distances. When my wife Borrows it, she gets about 27.

[@jgonzalez9120]

I get average of 35 mpg highway and combo of city and hwy about 30 mpg in the hills of East Tennessee evidently you have a heavy foot

[@OriginalYTBR]

That’s weird I always see people saying 20 mpg with their 2.0 but I’ve had my car for a year and I daily drive about 15-20 miles per day and my average is 27 mpg. With seeing these numbers I think people are getting on the throttle a lot more than they need. This is my second 2.0 that averaged 27. You must live in a congested area stop and go traffic.

[@HondaJon]

Yeah I don’t drive much and it’s all stop and go. On the freeway it does get mid 20’s. So it definitely depends on where you live.

[@deadeyedan444]

That screen on my car reads 28.1. I'm retired and only drive about 9,000 miles a year. A mix of city/hiway, but few distant trips. 2.0T Touring 10 speed. So I'd probably get mid 30's in a 1.5. Thats in standard mode, not eco. (occasional Sport Mode).

[@HondaJon]

That’s some great mileage. I feel anything over 26 for the 2.0 is great.

[@iVTECInside]

I went from a 2006 Acura CSX (K20Z3?), I get about the same mileage in my 2018 2.0T 6MT. Not horrible considering the addition size and almost twice the power on tap. It's crazy how much less it uses cruising at speed on the highway in comparison to city though.

[@HondaJon]

For sure. It’s great on the highway. City is subpar

[@iVTECInside]

@@HondaJon I wouldn't call it subpar. Allow me to go into more detail. I drove the same route for 2yrs+ with my old CSX and its naturally aspirated K20 5MT. I averaged 9L/100km (canadian eh) calculated manually using the trip meter pretty consistently. My Accord is 400-500lbs heavier, makes just shy (~10) of twice the torque, and the guage shows 8.8L/100 at the moment still making the same trips. Essentially a match if not ever so slightly worse despite carrying more weight and having double the torque. That is pretty impressive to me. On the highway I believe its even better than my old car, but I never did the numbers regularly for that. Have the 1.5T in a non-Si Civic CVT and it of course is crazy better in the city, but doesn't see a massive benefit on the highway like the 2.0T does. It also sounds like crap IMO and the CVT "gears down" for the slightest headwind. Just my 2 cents.

[@HondaJon]

@iVTECInside true. I just feel the 2.0 doesn’t get what someone would expect a 4 cylinder to achieve. Most people of driving just city get in the high teens. That is similar to v6 and v8 engines. The 1.5 I had got mid 20’s in the city. The 2.0 is great for power from a 4 cylinder whereas the 1.5 is for mpg. I agree with you on the cvt sound. I can’t get over the way it sounds/feels when accelerating

[@iVTECInside]

@@HondaJon something I had forgotten until you made the comparison to V6s. Recall that the 1.5T was intended to replace the 2.4LNA and the 2.0T was meant to replace the J35. I believe in that sense the 2.0T is a win all around, with exception of the sound and immediate torque delivery of the V6.

[@robme3660]

Dang, my 2.0L na Corolla gets 32.5 in mostly city driving, and I have the less efficient 6 spd manual hatch. I do live in FL (super flat, warm, and sea-level). That probably helps.

[@HondaJon]

Yeah the 2.0 turbo is not great on gas that’s for sure. It makes good power but at the cost of mpg.

[@thosetwodudes]

Any suggestions on a bluetooth cd player for these 10th gen Accords

[@HondaJon]

I’m sure you could use any as long as it’s compatible with Bluetooth. I don’t have any cds so I can’t say for certain.

[@honda116969]

I had the Civic SI 2019 tuned with k-tuner still got 10mpg better than my tuned Accord! Crazy thing is doesn't even make a difference if the car is tuned or not on ⛽ mileage! Maybe a little different because you're always going fast but the 1.5 in the Civic is way better than the Accord 2.0 on ⛽! Not even close imo

[@honda116969]

& when my SI was tuned my buddy got an accord before I did. Both cars completely stock both tuned with k-tuner & the SI n' the Accord were neck & neck from 10-115mph it literally went back & 4th. The Accord feels easier to drive, the Accord is the 10 speed fyi
