2 Answers
The dimensions of the eighth-generation Accord are 4960mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1480mm in height, as per official data. The length of the eighth-generation Accord refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes aligned with the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the eighth-generation Accord delivers a maximum power of 206kW and a maximum torque of 339 Nm. This engine produces a maximum horsepower of 280 and reaches its peak torque at 5000 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. National regulations stipulate specific dimensions for vehicles. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide adequate lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring sufficient space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.
I remember the overall dimensions of the eighth-generation Accord were quite standard, with a length of around 4960 mm, a width of approximately 1845 mm, and a height of about 1470 mm. Driving it daily for commuting, the body proportions felt just right. Although you need to be a bit careful when parking, its nearly five-meter length provides exceptionally spacious interior room—three people can sit comfortably in the back without feeling cramped, and the trunk has ample space for luggage, making it ideal for family trips or daily use. The design of this generation is more streamlined than the previous one, reducing drag and enhancing stability, especially at high speeds where it doesn’t feel floaty. Personally, I think Honda paid great attention to these details—the optimized dimensions offer high daily practicality without being too bulky, and it handles turns smoothly even in urban areas.
