The current generation, in production since 2022, offers just 2 variants with petrol and hybrid powertrains from 192-207 PS, continuing the sedan-only strategy of its immediate predecessor.
A restyling raised the power floor to 192 PS, with 5 variants spanning up to 252 PS in petrol and hybrid form. Sedan remained the sole body style offered.
The lineup narrowed sharply to 4 variants and sedan-only body style, with petrol and hybrid power from 150-249 PS, reflecting a global consolidation toward fewer, more focused configurations.
A restyling trimmed variants to 10 while retaining the 281 PS ceiling and petrol/hybrid-only powertrains. Coupe and Sedan bodies continued as the diesel era closed out permanently.
Diesel was dropped entirely; petrol and hybrid powertrains defined this generation, with power up to 281 PS - the model's highest recorded figure - across 12 variants in Coupe and Sedan form.
A restyling carried forward the same 150-271 PS range across 25 variants, retaining diesel and petrol only, with Coupe, Estate and Sedan bodies unchanged through 2013.
Diesel and petrol powertrains reached a new peak of 271 PS across 28 variants. Coupe, Estate and Sedan bodies persisted, marking the Accord's highest output generation to date at launch.
A restyling refined the seventh generation's 22 variants, with fuel types unchanged (diesel, petrol, hybrid) and peak power settling slightly lower at 256 PS through to 2009.
Hybrid powertrains entered the lineup for the first time, alongside petrol and diesel, pushing peak output to 258 PS across 25 variants. Coupe, Estate and Sedan bodies carried this diversified platform.
Peak variant count of 37, adding a 5-door hatchback alongside Coupe, Estate and Sedan. Power topped out at 220 PS across petrol and diesel, the broadest body-style spread in the model's history.
Diesel joined petrol for the first time, with 28 variants spanning 105-190 PS. Coupe, Estate and Sedan bodies continued, reflecting a maturing platform built for multiple regional markets simultaneously.
Body lineup diversified into Coupe, Estate and Sedan, dropping the hatchback. Power reached 150 PS across 22 variants, signaling the Accord's shift toward a broader, more versatile model range.
A major expansion to 30 variants and 137 PS peak output. Body styles remained hatchback and sedan, but engineering diversity within the petrol lineup grew substantially between 1985 and 1989.
Variant count tripled to 12, with power climbing to 101 PS. Still petrol-only, this generation kept the hatchback and sedan body styles while expanding market reach through the early 1980s.
The original Accord launched with four variants producing 80-82 PS petrol engines, offered as a 3-door hatchback or sedan. It established the compact D-segment formula Honda would refine for decades.
