These instructions apply to the Honda Accord Mk8 (CP/CS) 2008-2012.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
Full specifications for the North American Honda Accord (CP sedan and CS coupe, eighth generation, 2008–2012), laid out by engine — the 2.4 i-VTEC four and the 3.5 V6. Figures come from the Honda owner’s manual and workshop data; confirm anything critical against your own car’s documents and the doorjamb label.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Owner's manual. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit.
A dash (—) means we haven’t yet verified that figure for that variant, not that it doesn’t exist. A variant that isn’t listed was either not sold in this market or isn’t sourced yet. Each column shows that market’s own figures on its own test standard.
