The RLX V6 engine
combines Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), which changes the lift profile, timing and lift duration of the intake valves.
Honda's
Variable Cylinder Management allows the engine to run on just three or four cylinders when cruising, but it's also smooth and well - mannered running to the top of the tachometer.
The available 3.5 - liter, 24 - valve SOHC i - VTEC ® V - 6 engine produces 271 - horsepower and takes advantage
of Variable Cylinder Management ™ (VCM ®) technology that can deactivate up to half of the cylinders while cruising to improve fuel economy.
Every Pilot is powered by a 280 - hp, 3.5 - Liter, 24 - Valve SOHC i - VTEC ® V - 6 engine featuring the latest version of Honda's
advanced Variable Cylinder Management ™ (VCM ®) system.
The system works equally well on the highway, and when the V6 slips
into variable cylinder management mode, you can hardly tell the difference, save for a few short movements by the fuel economy gauge next to the speedometer.
This newest version of its 3.5 - litre V - 6 gets direct injection and an i - VTEC variable valve - timing system for the first time, but also continues to
offer variable cylinder management, which shuts down three cylinders during times of no - or low - load.
The 2013 Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe models equipped with the 6 - speed automatic transmission will utilize
Honda Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology (cylinder deactivation).
When all six cylinders are in operation, it's a silky, powerful driver;
then Variable Cylinder Management kicks in, dropping three pots out of the lineup and injecting a nasty dose of NVH into the experience.
The powerful 3.5 - liter i - VTEC ® V - 6 engine produces an impressive 279 horsepower and 252 lb - ft of torque, while the
refined Variable Cylinder Management (VCM II ®) system and low - friction technology produce class - leading efficiency.
They are a direct - injected 2.4 - litre four replacing the current base four - cylinder, or a significantly updated 3.5 - litre V - 6 with a revised i - VTEC valve train and next - generation
variable cylinder management system that enables the engine to run on three or all six cylinders, depending on load.
An available 3.5 - liter i - VTEC V - 6 engine produces 268 - horsepower - the most ever for any Accord - while introducing a new generation of fuel -
saving Variable Cylinder Management ™ (VCM ®) technology and achieving a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV *) rating.
All Pilots are powered by a 280 - horsepower 3.5 L V6 i - VTEC engine that
utilizes variable cylinder management to allow the engine to run on just three or four cylinders when cruising or coasting in order to save fuel.
The 250 - horsepower V - 6 engine provides both performance and enhanced efficiency with
Variable Cylinder Management ™, a technology that can deactivate up to three of the engine's six cylinders to save fuel when cruising or lightly accelerating.
Power comes from a direct - injection, 3.5 - liter, DOHC V - 6 with
variable cylinder management, which throttles back to run on only three cylinders under light loads.
This makes it the first Honda V - 6 that has both VTEC and VCM (
variable cylinder management)-- that latter available only with the automatic transmission.
Variable Cylinder Management, now standard across the board, is capable of turning the six - cylinder into either a four - or three - cylinder engine during low - load cruising, and with the Touring models» six - speed automatic (a five - speed is standard on other trim levels), the Odyssey returns the best EPA fuel economy at 19/28 mpg city / highway.
In its final form, the Accord's V - 6 engine was equipped not only with the i - VTEC variable camshaft profile system, but with
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) which deactivates three cylinders in light - load situations, resulting in EPA gas mileage ratings of up to 21 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined when paired with its six - speed automatic transmission.
Some Hondas with the VCM (
variable cylinder management) use oil.
Honda J - Series Engines using i - VTEC combine SOHC VTEC operation with Honda VCM (
Variable Cylinder Management) variable displacement technology to improve fuel economy under light loads.
The new VCM (
Variable Cylinder Management) system is an advanced form of the three - cylinder Cylinder Idling System used on the previous generation.
Don't worry about fuel efficiency, either; thanks to
variable cylinder management, this SUV still achieves EPA estimates as high as 27 MPG on the highway.
All versions of the Pilot are powered by Honda's venerable 250 - horsepower 3.5 - litre i - VTEC V6, hardly a representative of cutting - edge technology, though it does come with
Variable Cylinder Management, which works in six - cylinder mode under standard operating conditions, switching to three - or four - cylinder mode when conditions allow.
