Every 2014 Honda Accord available at Burien Honda has a front-wheel drive drivetrain and most of the trims are outfitted with a 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder engine under the hood. That engine choice will produce 185-horsepower regardless choosing the sedan or coupe body style. Many of the new 2014 Accords will come with a six-speed manual transmission. Honda has installed a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on some trims and offers it as an option for some. A CVT uses wheels and pulleys instead of gears in the transmission; this technology has led to increased fuel-efficiency.

A 2014 Honda Accord that uses a traditional manual transmission will record 24 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway with the 2.4-liter engine. An engine paired with a CVT will get a two-mile per gallon increase in city driving according to estimates released by the Environmental Protection Agency. Those looking for the most performance possible may opt to choose the 3.5-liter, V-6 that can turn out 278-horsepower and still record 18 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.

The two hybrid engine options are one that uses an electric motor to supplement the gasoline power engine which is powerful enough to move the car on its own. There is also a straight electric version that plugs in to a 240-volt outlet.
