Does the 2010 Honda Accord Have a K24?

Yes. Most 4-cylinder 2010 Honda Accord models use a Honda K24-series 2.4-liter inline-four—specifically the K24Z2 or K24Z3—while V6 trims do not. The exact engine variant depends on trim and market, but in North America the majority of 4-cylinder sedans and coupes are K24-powered.

Where the K24 Appears in the 2010 Accord Lineup

In North America, the 2010 Accord’s 4-cylinder trims are built around K24Z-series engines. Output varies slightly by trim due to intake and exhaust tuning, but the architecture remains consistent across models.

• Sedan LX / LX-P (2.4L I4): K24Z2, roughly 177 hp (regular ULEV/PZEV calibrations)
• Sedan EX / EX-L (2.4L I4): K24Z3, roughly 190 hp (freer-breathing intake/exhaust)
• Coupe LX-S / EX (2.4L I4): K24Z3, roughly 190 hp
• All V6 trims (sedan and coupe): J35-series 3.5L V6, not a K24

These figures reflect typical U.S. ratings for the 2008–2010 eighth-generation Accord; exact horsepower can vary slightly by emissions calibration and market, but the engine family (K24Z2 or K24Z3) remains the same for the listed trims.

What About Markets Outside North America?

The “Accord” nameplate differs globally. In some regions (e.g., Europe and parts of Asia), the 2010 Accord aligns more closely with what North America knows as the Acura TSX. That model range also offered a 2.4-liter K-series engine (commonly a K24Z3) alongside other options like a 2.0-liter petrol or a 2.2-liter diesel. Always check local specifications, as engine availability can vary by country and emissions rules.

How to Confirm Which Engine Your Car Has

If you want to verify the exact engine code in your specific vehicle, you can confirm it through several reliable methods without guesswork.

• Engine block stamping: The engine code (e.g., K24Z2, K24Z3) is stamped on the front of the engine block, just below the cylinder head, typically toward the transmission/bellhousing side.
• Under-hood emissions label: This label lists displacement and certification and can help confirm you have the 2.4L I4; pair it with the block stamp for the precise code.
• Service records/owner’s manual: Dealer service printouts often list the exact engine code by VIN.
• Dealer VIN lookup: A Honda dealer can decode your VIN to confirm the engine variant installed from the factory.

Using the stamped engine code on the block is the most definitive method, while documentation and dealer VIN lookups provide quick, corroborating confirmation.

What the K24Z-Series Brings

The K24Z family is known for durability, efficiency, and broad parts support. Its design balances daily drivability with respectable performance for a naturally aspirated four-cylinder.

• Displacement and layout: 2.4-liter DOHC inline-four with i-VTEC
• Architecture: Aluminum block and head, chain-driven cams
• Tuning differences: K24Z2 vs. K24Z3 primarily differ in intake/exhaust and cam/ECU calibration, yielding the 177–190 hp range
• Maintenance: Widely serviced with readily available parts; regular oil changes and timing chain health are key

These characteristics made the K24Z a staple in the 2010 Accord lineup, offering a practical mix of reliability and real-world performance.

Summary

Most 4-cylinder 2010 Honda Accords do have a K24—specifically K24Z2 (LX/LX-P) or K24Z3 (EX/EX-L and 4-cyl coupes). V6 models use the J35 and are not K-series. If you need absolute certainty for your car, check the engine block stamping or ask a dealer to verify by VIN.
