Accord Heritage

Honda Accord Heritage and Timeline - Breakaway Honda

With its smart size and excellent fuel economy, the first-generation Accord was a hot seller in the 1970s. The second-generation Accord was the first Honda automobile to be assembled in the U.S.A. 1986 marked the introduction of a notably sleeker Accord, picking up styling cues from its sporty sibling, the Honda Prelude. Beginning in 1990, the Accord was classified as a mid-size sedan and featured a more powerful 2.2-liter engine. The fifth-generation Accord featured a more ergonomic interior, and boasted more standard safety features than ever, including dual front airbags. In 1998, the sixth-generation Accord Sedan became the largest Accord ever. For the first time, the Coupe was treated to its own sportier look, with exclusive front fascia, wheels and lights. In 2003, the Accord grew in size, power and refinement again. It continued to garner spots on Car and Driver's10Best list. In 2005, the Accord Hybrid was introduced. With its stately presence, the 2008 Accord was the first to be classified as a full-size car—and yet this latest generation is still as nimble and fun to drive as ever. It offers more luxury, more features and better fuel economy. Plus, V-6 models feature new fuel-saving technologies like Variable Cylinder Management™.
