While the A31 Cefiro (and other attempts to combat the Galant-Accord-Corona trio) weren't great, this generation was a success and two updates occurred in 1998 and 2000.

Honda HR-V - Generation 1 (2000-2003)

HONDA HR-V (2000-2003)

This SUV is smaller than the CR-V, since it has small dimensions and a 1.6 non-VTEC engine (it was a low emission vehicle). It was a niche vehicle since it was sold in low numbers,






Mazda 6 - Generation 2.2 (2010-2013)

Honda CR-V - Generation 3.1 (2007-2009)

HONDA CR-V (2007-2009)

The third generation model had numerous changes compared to its predecessor that includes a switch to a conventional liftgate, the spare tire is underneath, and it is smaller in all dimensions. While the engines are similar, they are different in terms of power and torque.




Honda CR-V - Generation 3.2 (2010-2012)

HONDA CR-V (2010-2012)

A mid-life cycle gave the CR-V some exterior change and the lower models were treated to goodies that were previously available in the high end model. One additional variant is the 2.0 Modulo which has a 2.0 engine but some equipment of the 2.4 S-X.




Honda Accord - Generation 8.2 (2011-2014)

HONDA ACCORD (2011-2014)

For 2011, the Accord receives some exterior changes plus equipment changes. This version gains a Japan sourced EX model (some Accords were sourced from Japan in 2012) which has the same specifications with the S-V.



Honda Accord - Generation 8.1 (2008-2011)

HONDA ACCORD (2008-2011)

Receiving a larger body than the previous model, this generation of the Accord gets a variable cylinder management for the V6 model which cuts fuel consumption at low speeds. More space and more presence, this is what the eighth generation Accord is about.
