The Honda Accord 2.0T Sports Will Outrun Mercedes C300 & BMW 3 Series

In a recent video that surfaced online, a Nigerian car dealer noted that the Honda Accord 2.0T Sports is one of the most powerful cars out there, and it will outrun the Mercedes C300 and the BMW 3Series.

But is that really true? Well, let’s look at the engine performance of these three vehicles to find out.

Using the 2021 models of these three vehicles, here’s the verdict:

The 2021 Mercedes C300 is the entry-level luxury vehicle of the Mercedes brand that uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that equally powers all C300 models and produces 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.

The BMW 3 series is a modern sports vehicle with a first-rate powertrain, brilliant ride, and handling that offers two separate gas-powered engines: the 330i and the M340i. The 330i uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, generating 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The M340i, on the other hand, pairs with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 48-volt hybrid system; the total output is 382 ponies and 369 pound-feet. The 330e plug-in hybrid combines a turbo 2.0-liter engine with an electric motor that together generates 288 horses and 310 pound-feet.

The 2021 Honda Accord 2.0T Sports is the Honda Accord’s Sport trim with added performance hardware without many frills. Car experts note that “this particular Accord cribs the Touring model’s 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 10-speed automatic transmission.” The lightweight of the Honda Accord 2.0T Sports and its powertrain results in the vehicle delivering 60mph in 5.4 seconds.
