Specifications Honda Accord

Honda Accord Generation 7 belongs to the class of four-door D-class sedans. Debut this car took place at the Paris Motor Show in 2002. Since that moment, the Honda Accord 7 has gained immense popularity and has been in great demand both in the domestic and European markets. But how did Honda engineers manage to conquer the world market like that? Find out the answer to this question in our today's review. Honda car Accord 7.

Reviews and Design Review

The Honda Accord sedan is one of the few representatives of the D-class, which can be identified not only by the emblem, but also by its bright and expressive appearance. First of all, car owners note the presence of elegant smooth body shapes that emphasize the prestige and solidity of this car.

The look itself was designed very well. The designers managed to create that " golden mean”, in which there are no unnecessary bends and details - all parts of the body look quite harmonious. Despite the fact that this year marks the 12th year of the Honda Accord 7, its appearance cannot be called outdated. Even now it remains solid and relevant. Japanese designers seemed to be able to look into the future, and created a car that will look beautiful at all times. Broken lines with chrome trim, slanted headlights and aggressive bumper architecture - all these elements make the Honda Accord 7 not only luxurious, but also, in a sense, a sports car. Tuning such a “projectile” is definitely not required. By the way, the drag coefficient of the seventh Honda is 0.26 Cx. This figure contributed to moderate fuel consumption and higher dynamic characteristics. But more on that later, but for now, about the interior.

Salon overview

Looking into the salon, you understand that not only in design, the Japanese managed to defeat time. Even now, the “stuffing” of the sedan seems very relevant and interesting. The only thing that spoils the impression is the old black and white on-board computer on the center console. But it was soon replaced by digital LCD. Changed and the 7th generation Honda Accord also received an adjustable steering column. This allows the driver to adjust the position of the "steering wheel" to their individual anatomical features.

Large plastic inserts "under the tree" immediately catch your eye. They decorate the central part of the cabin and side paneling doors. The steering wheel is multifunctional - there are a lot of different control buttons on it. But not only on the steering wheel they are placed. In the photo you can see that almost every square centimeter of the cabin is equipped with its own little button. Such electronic content made Honda one of the most modern and high-tech cars in the world at the time of its debut. The door handles are chrome-look, and the instrument panel is equipped with a bright red backlight.

The quality of finishing materials, as always, is on top. The plastic is soft and fabric lining has a high wear resistance. In terms of free space, we can say that the 7th generation Honda Accord is comparable to a limousine - the same long and roomy. By the way, the trunk volume inspires respect - 450 liters.

Engine Specifications

With regard to specifications, the world market updated sedan came out with a newer, improved line of engines. In total, the car was equipped with two to choose from. power plants.

The base was considered a two-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 155 Horse power. In more expensive trim levels, buyers received a 190-horsepower 4-cylinder unit with a displacement of 2.4 liters.

Transmission

But not only the engines have undergone modernization. Apart from two power units the buyer was given the right to choose between two transmissions. The sedan entered the world market both with a six-speed "mechanics", which was already present "in the base", and with a five-speed "automatic". The latter was equipped with an unusual function at that time - the Sport Shift mode. Thanks to him, the motorist himself could shift gears manually at will.

For example, in a city, a car drives on an “automatic”, and outside it, you can switch to “mechanics” at any second. Now the Sport Shift mode is equipped with almost all automatic transmissions, even on budget

Chassis

With the release of the seventh generation, the public was pleasantly surprised not only by the design and the new line of engines, but also by a completely different design. previous versions Hondas were equipped with a standard double wishbone suspension for the rear and front wheels, then from 2002 the sedan began to be equipped with a more advanced,

Thanks to significant changes in this part, the car began to behave more softly and smoothly, and at high speeds it could confidently maneuver from side to side. The ABS system has also been reconfigured. Thus, the Honda Accord 7 has become more responsive and safe at high speeds.

Price

The car entered the European market in four trim levels at once. Among them are such as:

• "Sport".
• "Comfort".
• "Exclusive".
• Type-S.

The first two are basic. They were equipped with a gasoline two-liter engine and mechanical box gears. In the Type-S and Executive versions, a 5-speed automatic and a powerful 2.4-liter with 190 horses were available. We also note that the initial cost of the car in the European market at the time of the debut was almost 29 thousand dollars. The most expensive version was available at a price of 36 thousand US dollars. At the moment, the 7th generation Honda Accord can only be purchased at secondary market, since its release was officially discontinued in 2007. Now supported Honda Accord 7 (oil in which does not flow or drip) in Russia is sold for 400-500 thousand rubles, or 11-14 thousand dollars at the current exchange rate. This is the price of a new Priora or some budget small car.

Pros and cons: comments from car owners

Judging by the 7th generation, it is positioned as one of the highest quality and at the same time inexpensive cars. This sedan stands out for its high levels of maneuverability, safety and dynamics. But at the same time, it also has disadvantages.

In particular, this is a problem with noise isolation and search necessary spare parts. "Honda Accord" 7 is very squeamish to domestic gasoline, so drivers often have to change spark plugs, and brake pads quickly fail (depending on the nature of the ride). But in general, this is a very high-quality and economical car that will not bother you. frequent breakdowns and malfunctions. And if we compare it with new domestic cars, then even at the age of 10 years it will be more reliable and unpretentious in maintenance (not to mention the comfort of travel).

Owner reviews Honda Accord VII

Honda Accord VII, 2003

Very good location for everything in the salon. The seats are good. Disadvantage - not too much space on rear seats. The trunk of the Honda Accord VII is roomy, but the opening for loading could be wider. The audio system is so-so, it still does not support the MP3 format. Personally, it did not suit me at all, so I put a completely different one. Everything is assembled with high quality, which can not but rejoice. That's just the interior trimmed too easily scratched plastic. Yes, and the quality of the "Shumka" is not very good, and some "crickets" in the cabin are also periodically started. But it's all nonsense. But the car is very well stuffed, equipped with everything you need. And the most curious, moreover, that a car with a 2.0-liter engine and automatic transmission, the dynamics are very decent. Before that, all the cars I drove came with a manual.

Managed Honda Accord VII remarkably, very stable on the road. The suspension is quite stiff, so you can’t attribute it to disadvantages, it’s just part of the car’s sporty image. Speed ​​more than 200 km / h did not gain, but the acceleration is very confident. Mileage is already 25 thousand km and not a single gram of refilled engine oil, moreover, as I said, my driving style is aggressive. I rode almost all my classmates and the 525th BMW, and the Sixth Mazda, and the Opel Vectra, the Foltz Passat, the Ford Mondeo”, “Nissan Teane”, and many others. So among them there are very worthy cars, but with similar technical characteristics (engine 2.0 and automatic transmission). Honda Accord VII wins significantly in terms of dynamism, handling and value for money! Such is my opinion.

Advantages : design, ergonomics, handling, price, dynamics.

disadvantages : soundproofing.

Honda Accord VII, 2005

The Honda Accord VII is way above the average car. Bright design, even provocative in places. A couple of times with great difficulty kept the car from falling off the set path. For 1.5 years, skated almost 100 thousand km. I heard negative feedback about the stiffness of the suspension, I can not agree with them. The suspension is adequate, just such that the driver can really evaluate the roadway, which ultimately has a positive effect on handling. The speed within 190 km / h keeps decent, it's really nice to ride. I think that Honda Accord VII was designed just for such trips. But the consumption, of course, increases to 13 liters per 100 km. If you do not really drive, you can get 7-8 liters per 100 km on the highway. There are no problems during operation, the only “but” is that it is really difficult to keep yourself within a certain speed, the car provokes to drive.

Advantages : bright design, dynamics.

disadvantages : soundproofing.

Honda Accord VII, 2006

My operating experience has shown the excellent reliability of the Honda Accord VII: for five and a half years and 74,000 runs, not a single breakdown, only maintenance and replacement of pads. I didn't even change the bulbs. The previous car "Skoda Octavia" - after all, there were breakdowns, although not serious. Particular attention must be paid to the oil, after the first change, the dealer had a waste of 0.5-1 l / 10,000 km, switched to the original Japanese one - everything was taken off like a charm from replacement to replacement. Iridium spark plugs are not sensitive to the quality of gasoline, but some were changed after the first refueling.

I took the car specifically for myself on the "mechanics" - an alternative 5-speed "automatic" from a dynamic machine makes a pensioner unit, although this is possible for an amateur. Another “plus” of the manual transmission is fuel consumption: when driving “Moscow 70%”, “countryside - 30” - up to 9 in summer, 9-10 l / 100 km in winter on the highway 7.5 - 8 l, like “drown ". Comfortable fit, developed lateral support for the seats, good work of the "climate" - how to put it on once and only change the direction of the deflectors in winter to glass in the summer in the salon. How did the "eighth Accord" come out - I thought to change it, but new car the "Japanese" came out completely different, more comfortable, but less sporty. How would the distance between the driver and the car increase. Of the shortcomings of the Honda Accord VII, perhaps, it is worth noting the insufficient sound insulation of the wheel arches - all the "Japanese" suffer from this. But still, since they "climb" into the business class - so make a "shumka". Otherwise, only the pleasure of the engine and taxiing as if on "rails".

Advantages : manageability. Reliability. Comfortable salon. Sportiness.

disadvantages : soundproofing arches.

Honda Accord VII, 2006

About sensations, emotions, observations. Honda Accord VII - hard. There is no fluency at all. Small joints passes nervously, shakes the whole body. I repeat, he has wheel sizes: 215/50 R17 (I’ll put 55 for the summer). Handling due to rigidity is excellent. Turns like on rails. The engine is revving, as if it makes you press the trigger and overtake everyone and everything. Slow driving is not for him. Eats gasoline. I write at least 13 liters. Although I do not anneal, purely work-home. On this occasion, I want to clean the nozzles, throttle, adjust the valves, fuel filter they say it helps. Doesn't eat oil. Box 5 - mortar. Fine. But the oil and filter need to be changed, it is not known when it was changed there. Sensitive to the track, throws a little. The steering wheel is heavy, you can't turn it with one finger. But the reaction to the maneuvers is good. Electrical is ok. The head light is not particularly (on my copy of the Depot headlights, old worn out and with tired xenon lamps), at night, as if with running lights food, not with low beam. Under replacement, in general. The salon is cozy. Combined. With my height of 190, I am located quite normally, I do not rest against the ceiling. A couple of crickets are present (doors, torpedo), you need an "anti-creak". Plastic medium, not soft, but not oak. The music is the same as the headlights - about nothing. There are 2 tweeters in the dashboard and two speakers in the rear shelf. And that's it. There aren't even speakers in the doors. But it depends on the configuration, there is also a “premium sound” with a changer. Trouble with injectors windshield and a motor (contacts turn sour). If one of them does not work, it is better to change, rather than try to restore, clean it all for a while. I won’t say anything about corrosion on the body of the Honda Accord VII - I don’t have it. There are small points, of course, but this is not a reason to worry. There will be time, I will do it, paint it.

Advantages : manageability. Dynamics. Appearance. Interior ergonomics.

disadvantages : hard. Children's sores. Fuel consumption.

Honda Accord VII, 2008

Total: engine. As reliable as an erection in the morning. Just pour into the engine only good oil and a gasket, it is also a VTEC mesh filter. Somewhere behind the engine, this small infection is located, but if it is not changed, oil can ooze from there, the mesh can become clogged, the oil will stop circulating and the engine can grab the wedge. All this is inexpensive, but you need to do it at least once every 50 thousand km. There will be no problems. There is a chain here, which even with 250,000 km of run does not require anything. Candles preferably iridium original, but they are expensive 600 rubles / piece. If no one has done this before you, and it is unlikely that anyone does, change the fuel filter (in the gas tank). Not very expensive, but it will be quieter. Ideally, of course, flush the gas tank, but I don’t know if I will do it myself or not. Box. Reliably. It is adaptive and if you first drive slowly in the right lane, and then you need to accelerate sharply, it will first think a bit, then go. There are rare moments when it is annoying. But if you started to ride "sneakers hooked on the rug", she will be happy to shoot in every gear, without stint, giving away all the available 190 horses. Guys, be sure to change the oil and filter. These are consumables, but you will not know problems. Suspension. Speed ​​bumps and other large irregularities are swallowed clearly and on “Hurrah”, and the markings on the road, joints and other trifles you feel with your gluteal muscle as clearly as the kicks of a foreman in the army. But the “elk test”, “chess”, other sharp maneuvers and sharp turns Honda Accord VII are given effortlessly. Rubber bands and small things cost a penny, work too. Asphalt machine. Outside of it, she will be uncomfortable. In the city, you need to be careful when parking, because. almost any curb is at least a little, but higher than the front bumper. If you are lucky - and you do not touch them, then you will definitely touch them with towing loops. Noise isolation. Well, it exists, but I would like it to be better, like the quiet dawns of Karelia.

Advantages : Japanese car.

disadvantages : spare parts.

Honda Accord VII, 2005

Let's start, of course, with appearance Honda Accord VII, its classic strict lines, combined with narrow headlights, look very harmonious, the car attracts attention on the road, and what a beauty it’s easy to lie. In the cabin, since I have a beige one, it gets dirty at the moment, and I don’t even know what genius shoved a 2 cm thick carpet into the car interior, but obviously got excited. But the plastic does not crack, the interior is spacious, and the trunk is huge, the seats recline, which greatly facilitates the task of transporting long loads. In general, the cabin - very, very much. The panel is somewhat reminiscent of a spaceship. Honda Accord VII holds the road perfectly, turns with a bang. And, most importantly, in my opinion - playful. I won’t say that I’m the first to leave the intersections, but there were attempts, sometimes even crowned with success. But on the track, the Honda Accord VII pleases with its cheerfulness, be healthy. You can’t ride through pits and bumps, her front end is too squat - you will hook everything that is possible and impossible. The 2.4 AT engine consumes about 14 liters of gasoline in the city. But the biggest and most vile appetites are for butter. I change the oil every 7 thousand, while the light is already on, the engine has been checked, nothing is leaking anywhere. From sick places: steering rack- have already been taken. The headlight washers are fabulously easy to pull out of the front bumper (and they were stolen from me in the first week). The machine is reliable and very practical, does not fail, starts in any frost and only pleases. They drove Honda Accord VII from St. Petersburg to Krasnodar (stopping at other cities and deviating from the route) and back (total travel time 5 days) - behaved like a good boy, even after swallowing "singed" gasoline, coughed and rushed forward. Upon arrival, they did MOT - everything is fine. In general, even though my Honda Accord VII is 10 years old, it doesn’t stop pleasing, I can’t even imagine who to exchange it for, but the time is right.

Advantages : reliable. Practical. Fast. Acceptable price tag for service. Beautiful.

disadvantages : low for our "miracle roads".

Honda Accord VII, 2006

Everything that I liked about the Honda Accord VII: driving a long distance, for example, 880 km (Moscow - Yoshkar-Ola), I get great pleasure behind the wheel, the seats are just super, the “fifth point” does not hurt, plus if you turn on the seat heating, then the heat enters lower back If 185 cm tall are sitting in front, then 3 people will sit comfortably in the back anyway. Good visibility, the car's clearance is not high, so the aerodynamics, in my opinion, are just on top, it just sticks to the road, respectively, and the handling is already at speeds beyond praise. Played a significant role front-wheel drive. Despite the fact that the 5-speed automatic transmission, the car accelerates quite briskly. I won’t call the panel boring, although everything is simple and clear. I have owned a car for about 2 years, there have never been problems, if only small things (the dipped beam lamp burned out). The machine is strong and reliable, roomy trunk.

I didn’t like it: passengers complain that it’s inconvenient to get out of the car, but again, for whom it’s like. The on-board PC has a small functionality of options, nothing at all. In my opinion, just primitive information: daily mileage, etc. The audio system does not support MP3, so either cheap option a transmitter, or a 2-Din radio with a transition frame, but if you also have a multi-wheel, then you need to look for a 2-Din radio with the function of connecting to the steering wheel, there are many such models, you will find it without problems. It's the only thing that can replace my look in the Honda Accord VII. By technical specifications the main trouble is the steering rack, about 70 thousand km go further repair or replacement, but a lot depends on your driving style and our favorite "perfectly smooth" Russian roads. Do not install an analogue steering rack, such savings will come out in additional waste, since they are not reliable and can last up to 30 thousand km. Everything is fine with the suspension, you will bear the costs only for silent blocks (they are not expensive, you can put them and the analogues will serve almost the same as the original). There are no problems with the electrical. If you feel vibration in the steering wheel, then it is better to replace the internal combustion engine pillows and the problem will be eliminated. Noise isolation leaves much to be desired, if we say “Honda”, we mean “Accord”, so the Japanese could do better Shumkov, otherwise the car is nimble, and at speeds the window seems to be ajar.

Advantages : reliable car. Strong. Adequate fuel consumption. Adaptive automatic transmission. Easy Maintenance. Comfortable fit. Controllability. Driving performance. Comfortable salon. Build quality. Nimble 5-speed automatic transmission (acceleration).

disadvantages : soundproofing arches. LCP leaves much to be desired. The radio does not support MP3. Low clearance. Every 70 thousand km you need to sort out the rail ( weakness). Expensive original spare parts. It is a pity that there is no complete set with all-wheel drive. Lack of more advanced on-board computer options.

In January 2002, at a car show in Detroit, Honda unveiled the seventh generation Accord sedan, the station wagon replenished the lineup in 2004.

In 2006, the car underwent a minor update, which affected the exterior and interior decoration, after which it was in serial production for another year, and later acquired an assignee.

Electric power steering was included in the basic equipment of all modifications, as well as disc brakes "around" (on the front wheels with ventilation) with ABS and EBD.

"Chords" of the seventh generation are distinguished by a strong and reliable design. It comes with a stylish appearance, ergonomic interior, high-torque engines, good basic equipment and excellent driving performance.
But the car also has a number of disadvantages - weak paintwork, not the best in class soundproofing and costly maintenance.

Japanese cars Honda Accord 7 because of the sporty-aggressive look makes the casual pedestrian look back.
On the 7th generation Honda Accord model, you should always look behind the front bumper, since the heavy bumper cannot withstand fastenings, and it sags, it is also lowered low, and you need to carefully park near curbs and snowdrifts, and fog lights do not withstand sudden temperature changes and crack.
