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.

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.
