Honda designed the fourth Accord generation as a world car and sold with slight changes globally, and its success relied on fuel-efficient engines, light bodywork, and agile handling.
The Accord IV (CB) shared its platform with the sporty Prelude and carried over the entire suspension, including the optional four-wheel steering system available as an option or fitted as standard on specific versions. Even though Honda made it as a family sedan, it soon proved to be a sporty vehicle thanks to its low gravity center, long wheelbase, and independent suspension in all corners.
The slim front side with narrow, horizontal headlights and small grille ensured the car a sporty look. Its flat hood and raked windshield made it looks like a sport sedan rather than a family car. Honda even offered it as a two-door coupe on specific markets named CC instead of CB.
Inside, the cabin offered four comfortable seats with enough legroom for all passengers. Apart from the base trim level, the other two featured standard air-conditioning, four power-windows, and power-mirrors. Its slim pillars ensured excellent all-around visibility for the driver.
The technical platform was unusual for a car from those times, featuring double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link in the rear. Honda installed speed-dependable power-steering as standard on all models. The carmaker developed a new engine range for it; the F-series ranged between 1.8-liter and 2.2-liter and paired them as standard to a five-speed manual. The 2.2-liter versions were available with an option for a four-speed automatic. It was the last Accord available with carburetor engines on specific markets. Even though Honda already installed VTEC engines on the Civic and Prelude ranges, it didn't offer one for the Accord. Its four valves/cylinder engines featured one overhead camshaft, not two.
