Honda Accord 2024 Overview

The Honda Accord is a mid-size sedan manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda, first launched in 1976. Renowned for its spacious interior and comfortable driving experience, the Accord has been a best-seller in many regions worldwide, competing primarily with the Toyota Camry. Over the years, the Accord name has been associated with various body styles, including coupes, wagons, crossovers, and hatchbacks. In the United States, the Accord was among the first Japanese cars to be assembled locally, gaining popularity due to its generous legroom, headroom, and sizable boot space.

Generational Evolution

The first generation, launched in 1976 as a hatchback, later introduced a sedan version. It offered 1.6L and 1.8L engine options paired with either a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Standard features included AM/FM radio, cloth seats, intermittent wipers, and a tachometer.

The second generation (1981-1985) maintained both hatchback and sedan body configurations, offering five engine choices and three transmission options. Notable features included a sunroof, leather seats (upper trims), power windows, and power locks.

The third generation (1985-1989) introduced sedan, coupe, hatchback, and shooting-brake (AeroDeck) body styles, with eight similar powertrains paired with 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmissions.

The fourth generation (1989-1993) discontinued the shooting-brake model, offering sedan, coupe, and station wagon body styles. Features included power steering, power windows, power locks, CD player, center armrest, fog lights, and a security system.

The fifth generation (1993-1997) saw the launch of the Acura brand, selling premium versions of the Accord without eroding Accord’s sales. Engine and transmission options were similar to the third generation.

From the sixth to the tenth generation, the Accord grew in size, enhancing its length and width. The seventh generation gained significant popularity in Pakistan and globally, while the eighth generation introduced features like airbags, a rearview camera, and alloy rims.

The current tenth generation is a high-tech machine featuring a heads-up display, lumbar support, PVB laminated windows, power seats, and Honda Sensing for driver aids. The coupe variant has been discontinued, leaving only the sedan.
