The N series is Honda's first diesel engine. It is a four-cylinder common-rail diesel engine for medium-sized Honda vehicles. It features the ubiquitous Common-Rail Direct Injection configuration which Honda brands as their i-CTDi (Intelligent Commonrail Turbocharged Direct injection). The most notable feature is the aluminum block, which uses proprietary technology to the manufacturing process of the cylinder block, and provides both light weight and high rigidity. The valvetrain is a DOHC style with chain-driven camshafts. The Fuel System is a high-pressure (1600bar) Common rail direct injection type with a variable geometry turbocharger with intercooler.
The i-CTDi engine uses a variable-nozzle turbocharger from Honeywell. It enables strong power from about 1,500 rpm.

Specifications
"The 110kW i-DTEC diesel engine is available with the five-speed automatic transmission only, while a six-speed manual gearbox is the sole choice in conjunction with the 132 kW high-output version. The new, uprated 2.2 i-DTEC turbodiesel engine's impressive maximum power output is 132 kW at 4 000 r/min, together with 380 Nm of torque, already on tap at 2 000 r/min.Linked to its six-speed manual gearbox, the Accord accelerates from rest to 100 km/h in 8,7 sec, and manages a top speed of 220 km/h. Combined cycle fuel consumption is a frugal 5,8 litres/100 km, with an associated CO2 emissions figure of 151 g/km.
In 110kW form, the 2.2 i-DTEC, offered in automatic guise only, achieves the 0-100 km/h dash in 10,3 sec, while top speed comes to 207 km/h.
