HONDA Accord Sedan US 2005-2007 Photos, engines & full specs

The 2003 Honda Accord range received several new improvements in 2005 for the 2006 model. This was motivated on the Accord's 30th anniversary. It was also known as generation 7.5.

The Accord was one of the best selling models in the U.S. for any brand. Its sales performances in the mid-size segment were big and it offered qualities that other car-makers couldn't match in terms of performance, reliability, and comfort. The seventh (and a half) generation of the Accord was no exception and it was gifted with more features and amenities. In Canada, the Accord was the top-selling mid-size sedan on the market.

The exterior was slightly changed, with new headlights and taillights. A new set of light-alloy wheels was included on the list, while the 17” ones were fitted as standard on the V6 version. The overall appearance remained the same with the rounded front end and a straight deck lid in the back.

Inside, the 2005 Accord featured a new navigation system that featured a new processor, more memory, and several new features including restaurant information from Zagat. A revised maintenance minder system was also added which gave owners reminders for scheduled maintenance such as oil changes based on operating conditions.

For the drivetrain, the V6 engine was offered with a 6-speed manual for the first time. The 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder unit gained few more horsepower and a Drive-by-wire accelerator. The top of the range hybrid version was the first V6 hybrid vehicle on the market and it featured a cylinder deactivation system. It was mated to a standard 5-speed automatic instead of a CVT.
