Honda LF Hybrid (2014–2026) specs: 2.0L (121.6 ci) 4-cylinder, 81 x 96.7 mm (3.1890 x 3.8071 in) bore and stroke. Rated 196-212 hp, 2014–2026.
The Honda LF Hybrid (2014–2026) is undersquare — the 3.8071" stroke exceeds the 3.189" bore by 16.2% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.8071" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,300 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.4 ci (498 cc).
It is one of 3 engines in the LF Hybrid family, all of them 121.6 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 13 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 196 to 212 hp across 2014–2026.
