The Accord is domestically produced. Currently, the engines for the Accord produced by GAC Honda are sourced from Dongfeng Honda. Some components are imported, but the final assembly is done domestically. Overall, the Accord's engine is a domestically produced engine. The Accord is a mid-size car from GAC Honda, equipped with a 1.5T 194-horsepower L4 engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission. The engine has a maximum power of 143 kW and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The car's dimensions are 4893 mm in length, 1862 mm in width, and 1449 mm in height, with a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure.

I've been driving an Accord for several years. It's considered a domestic car in China, manufactured by GAC Honda. Honda is an established Japanese brand, but under the joint venture policy, GAC Honda has set up factories in Guangdong, localizing everything from parts to assembly. When I bought the car, I compared it with the imported version, and now the domestically produced Accord offers much better value for money, with significantly lower prices, easier maintenance, and readily available parts. In the past, older models had to rely on imports, which were time-consuming and expensive, but with local production, quality control is quite strict, and the car drives very steadily. If you're buying a car, I'd recommend considering the domestically produced Accord—it's worry-free and affordable.

From a production perspective, the Accord is indeed domestically manufactured in China, with Guangqi Honda overseeing the manufacturing operations. Under the joint venture model, the local supply chain is well-established, and the localization rate for most components is high. Supply chain data I've encountered indicates this approach reduces overall vehicle costs while improving response speed. Compared to purely imported models, local production allows the Accord to better adapt to Chinese road conditions and consumer preferences, such as prioritizing fuel efficiency in design, which is also more environmentally friendly. Automakers' strategies emphasize localization, similar to the Camry's production approach, making the Accord more attuned to the local market.

I'm a new car owner and have done some research. The Accord is considered a domestic car in China, manufactured by GAC Honda. It's not as expensive as when it was imported, and maintenance is convenient and affordable. The car drives smoothly, and the interior is quite suitable for young people. Before buying, I consulted a friend who said the domestically produced Accord has good quality and high cost-performance ratio, worth considering if you're on a budget. In short, after domestic production, the price is more affordable and the practicality is strong.

Having driven for decades, the Accord has undergone significant changes. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, it had to be imported, making it expensive, but now GAC Honda manufactures it domestically, producing and selling it in China. Local assembly has reduced maintenance costs, and parts supply is more timely, unlike the old models where you had to wait for spare parts. My domestically produced Accord has run 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers, proving to be quite reliable, which shows that joint venture production can indeed enhance practicality. Looking at market trends, more and more brands are adopting this model.
