The Honda Accord has a proud history here in the U.S. Since its debut in 1976, the Honda Accord has gone through nine different model generations, getting better each time and attracting more and more drivers. Over 40 years, more than 12.7 million Honda Accord models have been sold in the U.S. And the vast majority were produced right here in the Honda brand’s U.S. plants.
The Honda Accord was actually the very first vehicle from a Japanese manufacturer to be produced here. The company opened their auto plant in Marysville, Ohio in November of 1982, and the Honda Accord has been in continuous production ever since. It is truly a pacesetter for the auto industry, setting a high bar of quality that others have strived to catch up to.
John Mendel, executive vice president of the Automobile Division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., talks a bit about the proud history of the Honda Accord: “The [Honda] Accord embodies the challenging spirit of Honda and our commitment to delivering innovative products to our customers of the highest quality, reliability and value. [Honda] Accord's success over four decades is deeply woven into the fabric of American car culture and American industry, and we are thankful for and deeply humbled by the loyalty and trust that our customers have placed in Honda and in Accord over the past 40 years."
One of the major reasons for the enduring popularity of the Honda Accord is the brand’s commitment to keep pushing the car forward. The 2016 Honda Accord is one of the first Honda models to feature Honda Sensing™, an advanced suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. It’s also one of the first high-volume models in the automotive industry to provide support for both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.
