Honda introduced the seventh generation of the Accord lineup on the European market in 2003 and stirred the market with its fresh, angular design.
In just 14 years, the Japanese carmaker launched four generations for its mid-size sedan Accord. It was an incredible achievement for Honda, who managed to catch-up with the most important European brands. Worth mentioning that, starting with the fifth generation, the carmaker built different vehicles for the European and for the U.S. market.
The seventh-generation Accord featured angular, narrow, angled-up headlights and a shield-like, pinned-down pentagonal grille. On its sides, the ascending beltline offered a dynamic image for the Japanese sedan. In the back, an aftermarket-like set of taillights with a straight-cut design completed the Accord's image.
Inside, the carmaker installed bucket seats at the front and a bench for three in the back. Its center tunnel was tall enough to threaten a third-person comfort on long journeys. Honda offered the Accord in three trim levels: Elegance, Comfort, and Executive. The latter featured a leather-clad interior and an upgraded sound system.
Under the hood, Honda installed a choice of three engines between 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter. The biggest surprise was the 2.2-liter turbo-diesel unit, which won the "Engine of the Year" award for its class. All versions were paired to a five-speed manual, while only the gasoline ones were available with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Its independent suspension in all corners and the punchy 2.4-liter gasoline unit were a perfect mix for the sporty sedan. Accord's only downside was the small engine range.
