- Honda Accord 2 0t Races VW Arteon AWD and Dodge Charger GT 4 Drag and Roll Race
In this video we raced the Honda Accord 2.0t vs the Charger GT 4 and the VW Arteon 4Motion AWD.
Thanks to Brie, Ronnie and Lucas for joining us in this video. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I’m the accord driver. Had a blast! I gained weight for this race to add more weight to the car to make the race more fair. Please excuse the dumb ass look on my face, I was trying not to sweat to death 😂😂😂
Hhahahahahahaha
Was it a full tank of fuel in the accord?
🤣
Ronnie is that a sport or touring? I feel like the touring is a tad faster than the sport.
@@dozie6650 touring
Wow Imagine being the fastest and yet be the most reliable car ever. Nice one Honda
Says a Honda driver...
Don't get that Honda in the UK so would have to go for the vw
They're not anywhere close as reliable anymore with the current generation of forced induction engines. I keep seeing these reliability posts regarding Hondas but it's one of those things that USED to be true and people just keep running with those stats. Things change over time. Go update yourself.
@@BN99239 Actually, they still are. Not bashing, just speaking from a mechanic point of view. My shop has had a few Hondas, but nothing to suggest the newer FI generation is less reliable (although still not on Toyota/Lexus level).
Reliability still belongs to Toyota .. Sorry
The Accord has better HP and Torque per weight proportion. Also it has Type R DNA. What a sick family sedan.
True. Arteon is too heavy. 1.7 tonne. I believe Accord is less than 1.5 tonne
That’s a long way of saying power/weight ratio lol
@@mholmes9262Thanks, that's the term I was looking for. 🤦♂️
Honda definitely underrated the accords numbers on paper.
The torque values would've been nice for them to add too. They did a good job with displaying hp/lbs but torque is a very important equation to consider.
Technically also gearing, but then things get confusing.
I’m the charger driver 🙋🏼♀️😄 already had a feeling about the results but had tons of fun. Thanks for having me out Sam!
Thanks for coming :)
You need a hemi ;-)
What’s your ig
U should have drove the demon or hellcat then this would have been a different story. Mopar still rocks!
@@tyronnfields7945 oh I wishh!! One day that’ll be reality
Accord: the sportiest family sedan of the three, a real classic
Arteon: most luxurious and practical, the handsome Squidward of the three
Charger: outdated and pointless without the Scat Pack or Hellcat engines
The Charger isn't pointless (yes it needs a refresh) but they are bargains. Roomy, powerful with a really reliable engine that gets pretty good gas mileage for its size.
Also, the Accord and the Charger are in different classes!
Put supercharger on that pointless v6 and you'll have your self neck to neck with the scat pack and no where near scat pack price not to mention I rather ride around in a charger then a damn Honda lol
Arteon is a major disappointment considering it's way more expensive than the other two
@@ralphpownall842 Put a bigger turbo on that 2.0T Accord and youd be beating scat packs, 5.0 mustangs and camaros all day
@DeathStrike1477 Lmaoo
Honda did a great job on the 2.0T. Absolutely love mine.
I have a 2015 V6, was skeptical about the 4 cyl 2.0 T but im a believer now. Not ready to jump into another car payment but will go test drive one lol
@@randymadison5131 I was just like you. I owned a 2015 V6 touring and was hesitant on the 2.0t, now I’m an owner of 2.0t sport. 2.0t sounds like crap, but pulls hard when you need it to. First time I test drove 2.0t I could feel how much lighter it was compared to the 3.5.
The 2.0T is just wonderful
Yes, I have the 2020. Amazing fun car
Me too. I was an Infiniti guy but have loved my 2018 2.0T
The Honda Accord is rated at 252 hp however when I took it to the Dino it was pushing 280. Honda often under rates their engines.
Show data, otherwise. Hearsay
Also what Dyno you used as dynojets tend to read high whereas mustang dynos read low.
@@berrymucuckiner4890 it’s actually true. The proof is all over CZcams. Honda did under rated it. I’m assuming because they wanted sales to push for the Type R as well considering that the accord 2.0 has the same exact engine inside of it. The proof is in the power if you drive one too. Definitely does not feel like 252 it feels way more powerful then that. Don’t underestimate it. It’s a good car.
They don’t even give it full boost from the factory, simple tune and you’re fast af boi
Honda’s lie about their Hp.. Dey make it low.. but on the dyno it reads high.. but my advice is you don’t just race Honda’s they got speed..
I bought a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T about two months ago. I love this car! It is very fun to drive, comfortable, economical, roomy, nice looking and quick! All I've driven since '02 are Hondas and Acuras with the V6 engines. I swore I would never go back to a 4 cylinder. I had to eat those words. I have no regrets in buying the 2.0T. The engine is a gem and it is torquey. My next car will likely be a TLX Type S though but that's at least a year away. Going to enjoy the Accord for now.
how r you doing so far ?
Damn that Accord effortlessly clicks through those gears!
Thank you Sir for increasing the value of my Honda Accord.
Honda make a awesome job with the 10speed automatic they should tweak it at Acura too!!
TLX Type S has a beefed up awd version of it, Can't wait to see how it does on the street and after the aftermarket gets on it.
@@JrVtec facts! was thinking about getting one in June, but I'm going with a Supra instead
Ford or GM created the first 10 speed automatic transmission.
I have watched all the races you have posted with the 2.0t accord. Wow! It is such a quiet performance sedan that smokes the competition! Love it!
That accord is quick man, really impressive. Nice race video.
You should do accord vs more luxury sedans like BMW 3 series, Audi A4 or even Mercedes C 300!
Would love to see it against the C300 especially. They want to race absolutely everything they see on the road 🤣
Lol
@@kevinyu5802 My friends have 2019 C300 and 2021 Accord Sport. They're both equally fast. It depends who has a better launch. A4 2.0T Quattro is slightly faster than both.
Reliability Honda wins
beat all of them with my accord 2.0T closest was with an a4.
2022 Arteon gets a horsepower bump plus a 7 speed DCT. It would be interesting to see a rematch with the Accord.
Get a Arteon R GT from Germany, 320 hp
@@jeffhenjes1722 Well being we can't the 300 HP 2022 will have to do. It would still make this more interesting.
I'm surprised on how well the Arteon launches, however I guess it doesn't matter. I think it would be super interesting to see the Accord 2.0T drag against a Type-R and/or a TLX (top dog Hondas)
The "Throttle House" channel has those two exact races!! This types of races are probably more fun than some exotic cars races in my opinion!
The accord launches quicker with that amazing transmission but then gets walked down by the power of the type R.
Golf R DNA in that arteon. It’s just too heavy to keep the pace up with the de-tuned 2.0
@@legostarwarsrulez The Arteon wins in the launch which is where weight had the most impact. The Accord just has a better power band.
@@spoton3278 the all wheel drive and low end torque is what gave it the edge on the launch, despite its extra weight. If the accord had all wheel drive it wouldn’t even be close. Once the all wheel drive was irrelevant and everyone got rolling, the arteon’s weight and de-tuned motor caught up to it.
Incase nobody’s told you, you’re creating the best online content right now. Out of all of the popular channels.
Thank you for your kind words! More to come
I agree it's nice to see actual car content, not annoying hosts that hit the CZcams lottery with cars thrown in.
This is a 100% accurate statement.
I just found this channel last week. Your concept and implementation is superb. Very very well done!!!!! All the car match ups I want to see too.
Thank you :)
The 2.0T is soo underrated because everyone gets the 1.5 but miss out how a different beast the 2.0 is
You are right. I got 2018 2.0 and I mostly see the Sport on the road
@@honestmike6976 it’s because us 1.5 most of us ain’t know there was a 2.0 just saw sport n saw the car for looks and said “yea this is the car I want”……That and cause can’t couldn’t afford the 2.0 lol
@@markerx12 tbh I didn't know the difference until the sales person explained it to me.
Not everyone.... :):):)
Aye don’t get me wrong the 2.0 is faster but not by that much, I have a 1.5 an jumped behind the wheel of my friends 2.0 an that’s really not a big difference an isn’t really worth paying the extra 6000$
Accord be like : Another run ? Hmm ok hold my coffee !
Can confirm Accord 2.0T in Sport=beast mode. Loving our 2021 Touring.
100%!! Driving the Sport in Normal mode vs Sport mode - it's like a completely different car. Although Normal mode "can be" fast if you punch it hard, but Sport mode is quick all the time.
That 10 speed transmission is something special. I love it.
The Arteon is just beautiful
It’s also very outdated in the interior and not nearly worth the price, IMO. At least in the US.
@@pmiahky what do you mean the interior is outdated? It has all the latest screen tech, but stopping short of going full Tesla and having to control the AC through a screen. And don’t worry about pricing. These aren’t doing well at all because (predictably) everyone wants an SUV, so you can easily find these brand new for $5k off MSRP

Had a blast Competing against both Charger and Accord! All great cars in their own unique way! And big thank you to Sam!
Thanks for coming bud!
Great job guys with the accord
Good to see a fellow Arteon owner!
@@williamduncan3030 ✌ salutations!
@@lucascharged16v62 That Arteon was the most beautiful car out of 3 🖤
That Accord has one if not the best 20.t out there. I think it competes better against the 4 cylinders turbocharged from BMW, Audi, MB. What a great car it is.
Alfa Romeo has one of the best 4cyl.
Alfa Romeo has one of the best 4cyl.
Id still take the Arteon though and get a stage 1 tune everyone keeps talking about. The looks and the hatch seal it for me.

Whomever in the Arteon making us look bad and the Honda don't count cause it lighter, not fair 💯
@@crystalboo938 what are you talking about? I won on every launch, the couple of times you Seen the other cars pull from a dig, is because the trans overheated and went into limp mode. I'm the only one on 20"s and drivetrain loss
Honda would last more, that does it for me 😂
@@lucascharged16v62 can you elaborate on the trans overheated comment? I'm shopping for a Arteon and curious
At 40k the dodge and vw would have already have check engine light on, leaks of some sort, or electrical issues, Accord would still be like brand new!! Hondas are still great cars. 💪
Okay but ya gotta admit that the Arteon launch and 0-60 time is untouchable between the three
Spot on. In a traffic light race it would be the Arteon every time unless you're willing to go illegally fast.
Not to 60 but 0-30
@@susanweinberg8217 Arteon does 60 in 5.3 seconds. Accord does it in 5.5. Charger does it in 6.3 or something like that.
@@thatinformativeguy 🤣
@@thatinformativeguy I own a 19 SEL R-Line Arteon and the 0-60 stock is more like 6.3 🐌 (low 5’s with a stage 1 tune). We’re extremely heavy (4000 lbs) and the 8 speed AISIN is meant for comfort unlike the DSG in the euro specs and the 2023. I was barely beating base model Civics before my APR tune. Our power shows up more after 3rd gear and really pulls around 4th/5th.
@1:50 gotta say, the Arteon is way sexier than the others in my opinion.
Accord looks better
As an arteon owner I fully agree. You can peep mine on IG @jaquesspot
Yes I agree
No arteon is looks better in and out, and quicker, but Honda is faster 😢 😅
Not only the best looking car VW has ever produced, it has to be top 5 among all 4 door sedans on sale today...and that includes it's Audi cousin.
😲😲Wow as a Honda fan my head was blown away by the results and also i didn't expect the charger to be the last car. Wow i was just having goosebumps while watching this... Its crazy how much of a differents can make the weight of a car. Very well made video man. Hope you the best! Keep up the good work!
That damn Accord is just so impressive!!
Honda does special things with their engines. I have an 18 year old accord V6 coupe 6-speed at 240 factory HP that's upped to about 270 with aftermarket exhaust, air filter and does 13.8 in the quarter and 5.8 seconds 0-60....doing those numbers now, 18 years later, lol!
i got the same car but mines is the sedan. i love those 7th gen accord. it’s probably the only car that honda has ever offered with a v6 manual in sedan.
👌🏻the accord is impressive.
I always enjoy the videos, thank you. Could you please include the quarter-mile times? I'm from Australia and we don't have all the models you drive and it would be interesting to know how they compare with our range.
Just bought a 2018 Accord 2.0 touring with only 14k miles. I love it. Wayyy quicker than I thought it was gonna be
I happen to have an accord 2.0t myself and I can say this is 100% true ! For a family sedan it’s a very quick car and for it to be a FWD it’s still a very good capable car I love Honda for it.
The Honda Accord 2.0t wins almost all the online drag races. It even beat the Acura TLX with the 2.0 turbo and SH-AWD. And it beat the 290 HP Hyundai Sonata from a dig (the Sonata beats the Accord in a roll test).
What of altima 2.5 vc turbo

Accord the Best...
That was about what I expected. The Accord is no joke once it gets moving! Really like these comparisons 😃
Honda engineering. Simply superior!
I'm definitely subscribing 😊 thanks for the great content
Great race between the turbo cars,but don't knock the Charger too badly. I think it's normally aspiration engine will last a whole lot longer and it's a much more comfortable and has more room. All of these cars are nice but their is a lot more to a Caroline these than a drag race I bet the VW will be the first on in the repair shop followed by the Honda for Turbo problems . Turbo cars are quick but they will cost you in the long run
I
Damn that accord has some balls!!! Nice runs!!!
Best Honda ad I’ve seen!
Man, I LOVE the look of the Arteon. Huge fan of the look of that Generation of Accord too. I wonder how these would fare against the 2023 Arteon with more power 🤔
Wow I’m so happy with my decision .I just bought my 2021 Honda Accord sport 2.0t two weeks ago it is truly fan can to drive yet reliable and family friendly
ACURA &HONDA 🥇😍🏎💤💨
That was so easy lol, love these drag races.
4:55 mouth left open throughout the race = more cooling = more power
🤐
Michael Strahan would be proud of that Honda for gaping those cars 😂🤣
I was impressed when I switched to the accord 2.0T touring from the civic 1.5T CVT. It’s literally in a different level and it’s blowing my brain once I hit the sport mode and the damper system is engaging so well that I completely feel how firmly and power of the vehicle. It’s so excited and fun to drive when I want to pass someone on hway. I wished I would buy the accord earlier
The accord on the 3rd one was like: enough playing around.
There are some cars you ll buy just cuz of their looks , Arteon is one of em. Just Love how dope it looks in that all black 🖤
Naah...arteaon looks like typical German car only....I don't see any speciality
Awesome video can't wait to see more
Honda 4 cylinders are always killing it! I had a 08 Accord with the 2.4 and it always amazed me how the power built as the RPMs climbed smooth,linear strong Amazing....
This is just insanity, how's that Accord 10 speed pulling so hard with the least amount of power and no AWD. Great job Honda❗
The difference in curb weight. The Accord is so much lighter than the other 2 cars.
The Accord doesn't need AWD to pull hard. AWD only helps in these types of races on the launch, which is why the Arteon was so much quicker out of the hole than the Accord. After they get rolling AWD doesn't help with acceleration, and the Accord's much lighter weight let it easily reel in the heavier Arteon.
the accord actually has 280 HP
@@danielredziniak2996 listed as 252
I have a Sport 2.0T, and it continually amazes me with how hard it pulls. TBH it feels like it wants to take flight!! ;););)

So glad I got a 2.0T Touring!
04 tsx owner 230k miles running magnificently im getting this next
Other than the speculation that Honda understated the Accords horsepower it would have won based on the numbers anyway, the Accord is 500lbs lighter than the other 2 and is FWD (less drive-train loss, more power to the wheels, even though it had a few bad launches it was able to catch the Arteon with ease. Always think twice when you pull up to a light to this grocery-getter.
I would not try to run an Accord unless my car is making well over 300hp lol
"Always think twice when you pull up to a light to this grocery-getter." 😂 Said beautifully. Love my grocery-getter.
Accord Touring is 3420 lbs.
Charger GT is 4200 lbs.
Arteon AWD is 3900 lbs.
Light to light the Arteon will always win, but anything else she's at a complete loss with the drivetrain loss lol
Always nice to see a charger get put in it’s place. Bravo to the Accord and the Arteon
I just Chargers on a reg🤷♂️
It's a Charger GT with the base 3.6l engine. It's heavy...R/T, SRT, and the Hellcat Chargers are on a whole other level.
Ya until the charger's bigger powerplant siblings walk all over the Accord and Arteon.
@@colbycraig8418 Right would completely wipe them out.
That was a whole purpose of the matchup! All vehicles similarly matched with displacement and power. Honda can bring in it’s big brother the NSX and smoke everything with a dodge badge and VW can use a multitude of vehicles in it’s array as it’s big brother to represent the group and the same results will ensue.
miss my 2018 2.0T accord!
car was totaled and we switched to suv finally
got new RDX awd and satisfied w the performance because it’s honda family
I knew the Accord would take the W!
To be fair, the only benefit to the v6 charger is the awd option, anything else you should really just get an r/t or above. Love these drag races though!
Imagine if you would’ve added the 4 cyl camaro to this race 👀🔥🔥
I'm not surprised at all, and anyone who has driven the new Accord with the 2.0T & 10 speed knows it's basically a Civic Type R in a family sedan, it's actually crazy how quick it is for what it is.
I have a funny story. A short while after I got an Accord Sport 2.0T, I came up to a stoplight leading to a highway in front of me. No cars in front of me. Had it in Sport mode, and when the light changed I punched it. Little did I know (I really didn't), there was a Civic Type R in the lane next to me. After I punched it, he must have thought I was trying to race him, so all of a sudden I hear the car next to me punching it, and it was then that I noticed it was a Civic Type R!! I quickly backed down once I hit 60-70 due to the road geography, but until that time we were pretty much even. ;);) I was truly only looking to have fun with my new 2.0T and had no idea that guy was even there. Meanwhile he's probably thinking, look at this Accord Sport owner trying to embarrass me!! hahaha
@@WRjockey Did you get the 10AT? If so they should know they really never stood a chance, you have 4 more forward ratios and your transmission shifts faster than a human hand can. This isn't the first time I have seen/heard of an Accord 2.0T taking its Civic Type R cousin. It pains me to say this because I learned to drive in a 94 Acura Integra GS 5MT, but automatics aren't going anywhere, manuals aren't changing & because of that they're so hard to find in North America on new vehicles.
@@ljpr360 Yes I have the 10AT. I wouldn't say I "took" him, but neither did he pull away from me. But then, it was such a short period of time that it wasn't very useful from an evaluation standpoint. It was just a humorous situation, to me. If I'm not mistaken though, I think I read from one of the car mags that tested them, that the Sport 2.0T is only 1/10 sec slower than the Type R when doing 0-60. Have you heard that?
@@WRjockey I've seen several post better times in the Accord as well as a few races where the Accord won. I drove my friends' 2018 2.0T 6MT & the 10AT is always going to be faster. That's why Acura uses a strengthened tuned version in the Type S TLX & MDX.
Woao impresionante de verdad, acabamos de adquirir el honda accord 2.0 2021 muy bello carro
Nice vidéo 👍👍😍
I bet you those genuine Honda seatbelt pads on the backseats of the Accord adds at least +5hp. No doubt about it.

Does the Charger have any real merits when not equipped with a V8? The thing is porky in curb weight and a slouch overall both in a straight line and in the twisties.
Even though we all knew what the result was gone be, why on earth would u run a heavy awd v6 charger
Because some people live in snow placed and opt to buy a awd v6 charger. I personally like the comparison since nobody ever compares the V6 versions of the charger. 🤷
@@dnegel9546 while I agree, they should've done the v6 RWD. Awd is too niche and no one buys those as much as the regular V6

WOW thats really impressive, FWD accord beating out the AWD ARTEON consistently
Accord 2.0Ts GO man. Arteon's a heavy car. What happened with the charger though? Lol
Did we watch the same video? Lol from the digs the Arteon beat the Accord almost everytime, even on the roll just briefly. The Arteon is just too heavy (3900 lbs) so it doesnt keep moving fast as was witnessed lol
@@M4B21S88 u should rewatch the video clearly the accord one
@@amd1055tify the Accord won.
Just not off the line..
Awd did its job lol
But, again, both other cars are heavy turds for good top end.
Awd cars have more powertrain loss. That is why not a lot of economical cars have awd.
Considering the Arteon is designed to be a luxury cruiser and not a drag racer, AND it's the heaviest here, AND it doesn't have VWs legendary DSG gearbox, it put up a very good fight against the lighter accord with the same power figures. If this was the Arteon R, with extra power and a dual clutch gearbox, it would've slaughtered both the other contenders. Shame VW won't bring it stateside.
Since the Arteon has an "R-line" in Canada, what would be the difference between this and an Arteon R? Interested in this car so would love to know 🙂
@@kevinyu5802 The Arteon R is only sold in Europe. It has a 2.0T pushing over 310 HP and awd with torque vectoring on the rear axle and a seven speed dual clutch from the GTi. It also does 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. So yes, it would destroy all these cars.
@@kevinyu5802 R Line in Canada is just cosmetic. The Rs in Germany have the golf R internals (engine & trans). German/EU vehicles (as opposed to NA) also get dual direct injection and port injection. It's nice in the long run reliability and power wise.
Being a honda technician i can say i am very impressed with the 2.0t motor very capable motor and the 10 speed definitely helps. But guys if you can get your hands on a 6speed manual 2.0t accord you better get it.
Is not my brother had the 2.0 manual and is trash he had to return it that’s why they stop making them is too soft on the gear and clutch, feels like a momns car, while the 10speed auto is wayy different
I would love to see this race again with the new VW Arteon that has more HP and DSG transmission.
Arteon is hands down the best looking one. A stage 1 tune and will destroy the Accord too!
The Accord can be tuned just the same. Have owned both VW and now a 2.0 Accord. Nothing but good things to say about both brands. We are on a stage 3 tune on our Accord and the gain is amazing. Biggest advantage of the Honda is the price and ease of tuning. Both also have turbo upgrades, intercooler upgrades, etc available. Biggest advantage of VW is that awd is available to take better advantage of big turbo builds at high power levels. Still, stock turbo Accords are into the low 12's so they aren't bad considering.
Yeah thats cute but what will you do if the accord is stage 1 too 🤔
