What is the Accord King?
2 Answers
Accord King refers to the mid-size car Inspire launched by Dongfeng Honda, which is longer than the Accord in body length, so many car owners call it the Accord King. Taking the 2019 Honda Inspire as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of 4910mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1450mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters, and a curb weight of 1482kg. The 2019 Honda Inspire features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 194PS, a maximum power of 143kW, and a maximum torque of 260Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.
The Accord King isn't actually a specific model, just a nickname we fans gave to the Honda Accord. It mainly refers to the sixth-generation Accord from the late 90s to early 2000s, especially the V6 engine versions with 2.5L or 3.0L powerplants. These delivered ample horsepower, quick acceleration, and top-tier handling - earning it the 'Accord King' title among enthusiasts as the sporty crown of its class. I drove a 2001 model back then - rock-solid on highways, razor-sharp steering, surprisingly fuel-efficient, with Honda's legendary reliability. The seventh-gen kept the spirit but the 'King' moniker faded. Nowadays it's nostalgia for those classic designs - practical space, easy maintenance, and young tuners love tweaking its suspension. Ultimately, it's Honda's pride, representing the perfect blend of reliability and driving joy, still hot in used car markets.
