The eighth-generation all-new Accord officially entered production in 2008 and was launched in the same year. The English name ACCORD, in a sense, conveys the idea of harmonizing various performance aspects of the car, such as power and fuel consumption. This concept of 'harmony' has been passed down through generations. Relevant information about the Accord is as follows: 1. Introduction: The Accord (Accord), a practitioner of Honda's innovative spirit and global leading technology, has a 38-year global history. The original tires for the Accord are Michelin's ultra-high-performance Pilot Super Sport tires. 2. Market Positioning: A leading model in China's mid-to-high-end car segment, setting new technological benchmarks in the mid-to-high-end car market.

The eighth-generation Accord is actually quite interesting. I remember seeing it often when I ran my auto repair shop. This generation was launched in North America in 2008, but it arrived a bit later in China, officially going on sale in early 2008 and remaining in production until its replacement in 2012. For a while, I worked on this car every day, frequently encountering issues with aging suspension systems, likely due to road conditions. What impressed me the most was its tail light design—the full-width style was particularly eye-catching, making it easily recognizable from a distance on the street. The interior materials of this generation Accord were more substantial than previous models, and the seats offered excellent support.

My husband drives an eighth-generation Accord, purchased in 2009. The salesperson said it was the 2008 model year, but the actual production years spanned quite a bit. This model started domestic production and sales in China from 2008 and continued until its facelift in 2012. I remember during a service visit at the dealership, the technician pointed at the VIN and said it was manufactured in 2010. The car has many advantages - its spacious interior can fit a stroller plus three suitcases, and it's exceptionally comfortable for long trips. However, the electronic parking brake is awkwardly positioned; it took over half a year to get used to it.

As a used car appraiser, I've handled a lot of eighth-generation Accords. This generation spans from 2008 to 2012, with the post-2011 models being the most worthwhile purchase due to significant configuration upgrades. A handy tip: you can accurately determine the manufacturing date by checking the production nameplate under the hood. Well-maintained eighth-gen Accords hold their value remarkably well in the used car market – you'd typically only lose the purchase tax when reselling after two or three years. Their engine reliability is truly excellent, with minimal issues arising from proper maintenance.
