The seventh-generation Honda Accord for the European and Japanese markets is a mid-size car that was available as a four-door sedan or a five-door station wagon and was produced by Honda from October 2002 (for the 2003 model year) to 2008. It won the 2002-03 Japan Car of the Year upon its launch.[1]

For this generation, the European and Japanese Accords, previously separate models, were consolidated into a single version designed to be more competitive in the European market. It became a top seller in its class in Australia, where over 45,000 sedans were sold between 2003 and 2008.Шаблон:CN The car was also exported to the United States and Canada, where it was sold as the Acura TSX. Outside North America the first Honda-built diesel engine was offered. In the Japanese market, the Accord was merged into the Torneo range to compete against the Mazda Atenza and Subaru Legacy.

A variant of the larger North American Accord was sold in Japan as the Honda Inspire to compete in the entry-level luxury sedan class.[2] In markets where both versions of the Accord are sold, such as in New Zealand and Australia, the smaller Japan/Europe-type car is called Accord Euro to distinguish it from the larger North American model.

AWD variant (CL8 & CM3)

In Japan, an AWD variant of the Accord is offered in both Sedan and Wagon form:

Sedan (CL8):[3] offered in Eco 2.0 Engine (152HP/113KW) and automatic transmission only. Note some were fitted with smaller brakes to fit the smaller 15 inch (195/65R15) wheel and tyres.

Wagon (CM3):[4] offered in 2.4 Engine (in both high output and low output) and automatic transmission only.

Performance Variant: Euro R (CL7)

It included a Шаблон:Cvt high performance K20A engine rated at Шаблон:Convert at 8000 rpm and Шаблон:Convert at 6000 rpm, 6-speed manual transmission, locked slip differential, bodykit, Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel and 17-inch aluminium wheels with 215/45R17 tires. [5] A Mugen Motorsports concept was unveiled at the 2009 Pro shop Refill.[6]

The Accord Euro R was officially sold only in Japan, but has been parallel imported to New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Pakistan.

Note the Chassis Code (CL7) is shared with the base model Accord in Japan, using a different Eco version of the 2.0 engine rated at Шаблон:Convert, offered in manual transmission only along with none of the other performance and visual enhancements.
