Since then, Honda has presented several generations of this car to the public. The Accord underwent continuous improvement, which allowed it to win the title of "Best Car of the Year in Japan" and for three years to be the best-selling car in the United States.

In 1982Ode to the second generation Accords are being assembled in the USA: the car became the first "Japanese", the production of which was established in the New World, and since 1988 American Honda Accords even begin to export to Japan.

In 1983, the second generation was restyled. On engines of 1.8 liters, they began to install a distributed injection system PGM-FI with electronic control. ABS appeared.

In 1985, on third-generation cars, a station wagon was added to the hatchback and sedan under the brand name Aerodeck. This generation was distinguished from the previous ones by the presence ofsingle double wishbone suspension and engines of 1.8 and 2.0 DOHC.

The era of the fourth generation fell on 1990-1993. The quality of the paintwork for this generation of vehicles has been improved, resulting in excellent corrosion resistance. Interior trim pleased with soft seat upholstery and impeccable quality. The ES version featured leather-covered seats.

The European version of the machine was developed by the Japanese together with research centers in England and Germany and was produced in the English city of Swindon. The range of engines offered high-powerThese sixteen-valve "fours". The engines with a volume of 1.8 liters (116 hp), 2.0 liters (131 hp) and 2.2 liters (150 hp) were equipped with the well-known Honda VTEC system. The Accord Type R modification was equipped with a 2.2-liter 212 hp engine. Engines were aggregated with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The five-link rear suspension, specially developed for this car, was the key to good handling and high ride comfort.

All cars were equipped with an adjustable steering column, power steeringsteering wheel, headlight hydrocorrector, heated rear window, immobilizer, central locking with remote control, electric mirrors, antenna, audio wiring, speakers. The body had a double-sided galvanic anti-corrosion coating.

The sixth generation Accord met the most stringent safety criteria at the time of its release. The car was equipped with two airbags, door reinforcing beams, three-point seat belts in the rear seats, as well as everything that helps the driver to control the car - siABS theme, ventilated brake discs and compliant steering. In 2001, there was a small restyling.

In 2002, Honda introduces generation seven. The seventh Accord has become larger, more mature and more solid than its predecessor. Specialists of the Frankfurt studio of the Honda firm worked on the design. The modified body looks quite prestigious.

The instrument panel is a dark space when the ignition is off and the car is closed, but as soon as the door locks are unlocked, the panel is illuminated and becomes even brighter with the turn of the ignition key thanks to the internalRenny backlighting. Large-diameter, high-contrast, easy-to-read instruments have white and red scales, depending on the modification.

There is a clear logic in the arrangement of numerous buttons on the front panel. The devices, headed by a huge speedometer, are equipped with a Night Panel function: at night, you can “de-energize” all dials and leave only the glowing speedometer in sight. Other features include the Profiler system, which allows you to change the settings for heated seats, anti-theft system and.d. The luxury version will delight you with a large interactive color display with touch-screen function: you can browse the menu by touching the virtual "keys" that are displayed on the screen. Pleasant, stylish furnishings, an unusual front panel design, plus the use of high quality materials and perfectly fitted joints - all this, in general, testifies to the highest quality workmanship. A comfortable and cozy stay in the cabin is created by dual-zone climate control, a CD player and a rain sensor (everything is standard). On order you can getleather trim, DVD player, wood inserts and side inflatable "curtains", which were used for the first time for the Accord.

The trunk is one of the most spacious and roomy in its class. Its volume is 450 liters. The practical shape with a wide, flat floor makes it easy to accommodate large loads. Additional convenience is provided by an electric mechanism that allows you to open the trunk by lightly pressing the button located on the lid.

A standout feature of the seventh generation Accord is its aerodynemica: the drag coefficient Cx is only 0.26. Such wind-resistance capabilities allow for better dynamic performance, lower fuel consumption and improved sound insulation. At the heart of the car are only fast and energetic, all-new aluminum Quarters: 2.0 l / 155 hp. and 2.4 l / 190 hp. (Type S version). All power is transferred to the front wheels through new gearboxes. The automatic has become a 5-speed and allows manual gear shifting (Sport Shift mode).

The powertrain lineup offers two i-VTEC petrol engines.New 2.4 l / 201 hp consumes 8.6 liters of gasoline per 100 km and has a flexible combination of economy, low emissions and high dynamic performance. An optimally balanced combination of power and fuel efficiency is offered by the 2.0L 156 hp engine. This power unit consumes just 7.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km. Both engines are compatible with a 6-speed manual transmission equipped with a shift indicator that informs you of the optimal shift point to reduce fuel consumptionwah. The 5-speed automatic transmission reduces fatigue and allows gear shifting with paddle shifters. When the "S" mode is selected for sportier driving, the transmission gives priority to manual control. The introduction of the new "Kickdown" function for the 5-speed automatic transmission provides additional acceleration when required. Controlling all this power is easy with conveniently positioned paddle shifters to optimize balancebetween fuel consumption and dynamic performance.

In 2011, the model underwent a facelift. The official debut of the updated car took place at the Geneva Motor Show. As before, there are two body options - a sedan and a station wagon.

The footwells on most models are now highlighted in blue when the headlights are on. For Type S models, the backlight color is red.

NVH characteristics (noise, vibration, non-meltingdriving performance) Accord 2011 is even better thanks to the use of high density foam under the hood and in the dashboard area. The soundproofing of the floor has been improved and supplemented with soundproofing screens on the DPF filter and the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine. The set of improvements is rounded off by a small 9mm bonus to the rear window thickness, which will definitely delight the rear seat passengers.

The carbon dioxide content in the exhaust is reduced by 9 g / km for the sedan with a 6-speed manual transmission and by 11 g / km with an automatic transmission. The Type S received a 2.2 L 180 hp engine.

Plus, to improve the efficiency of the car, new aerodynamic elements have been installed - a front spoiler, floor and rear reinforcements. Honda engineers have also tried to reduce frictional losses in the wheels and tires by installing low friction bearings and low rolling resistance tires. In modAccords equipped with automatic transmissions have reduced transmission friction losses and an optimized gear ratio.

Honda has added Active Cornering Lights and High-Beam Support System. Other innovations include a retuned suspension.

The 2011 Accord is available in three trim levels: Comfort, Sport and Executive, as well as an S-Type variant.

The basic equipment has: reinforcing beams located in the front doors, two airbags withoutsafety, three-point seat belts for rear passengers, as well as ABS and an interactive steering wheel.
