Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX

The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s (100 km/h in 6.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.68 s, tripping the lights at 99.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 9.68 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX

The 2012 Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,629 kg with 276 bhp, which works out at 170 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,511th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 19th quickest of the 191 Hondas here. Its 99.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX 0-60 time?
The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,511th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX quarter mile time?
14.68 s at 99.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.68 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX have?
276 bhp and 1,629 kg, which is 170 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 206 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX?
Closest here on pace: Fiat 595 Abarth 1.4 competizione 180 (6.20 s), Ford Focus ST (2005) (6.23 s), Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari 1.4 180 (6.20 s). Each one can be raced against the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
