HONDA Accord 4 Doors 1993-1996 Photos, engines & full specs

Honda introduced the fifth generation of its successful range Accord in 1993 with different European and American versions.

After a successful fourth generation, which was sold with a similar shape in the U.S. and the rest of the world, the fifth generation started to differentiate between European and American market Accords. It was based on the same platform as its predecessor, but with completely new styling. Also, Honda kept some engines from the fourth-generation.

On the outside, the long, horizontal headlights were curved and resembled the Honda Prelude front fascia, with a tiny grille where the carmaker couldn't fit the H badge, so it moved it on the hood. From its sides, it looked like a hatchback due to its sloped rear window. Also, from the profile, it was easy to spot the small window behind the rear doors. It was the first time when Honda made the Accord like that.

Inside, the carmaker kept the same materials used on the fourth generation and the same seats, but with more headroom for the rear passengers' thanks to the slightly higher greenhouse. The dashboard featured a design with a tilted center console and a rounded instrument cluster in the front. Another improvement was the replacement of the steering wheel that featured a standard airbag for the entire range.

Under the hood, Honda installed the same F20 engine family as its predecessor, paired with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The most potent version was a 2.3-liter engine carried over from the third generation Prelude.
