The eighth-generation Accord was produced from 2008 to 2012. Here is an introduction to the Accord and the eighth-generation Accord: 1. Accord: The Accord is a popular model under Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, with the English name: Accord; 2. Eighth-generation Accord: The eighth-generation Accord integrates the most advanced technologies in space design, safety, power performance, handling, and environmental protection, and is also known as the strongest Accord in history. Below is additional information about the eighth-generation Accord: 1. Eighth-generation Accord: The eighth-generation Accord is a mid-size car under Honda, equipped with three types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, and a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The wheelbase of the eighth-generation Accord is 2800mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4960mm, 1845mm, and 1480mm, respectively. 2. Eighth-generation Accord engine: The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine of the eighth-generation Accord has a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 189Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6300 rpm and its maximum torque at 4300 rpm. It is equipped with i-VTEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, and features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I previously helped a friend check out a used eighth-generation Accord. I remember this generation started mass production in 2008 and was sold until its redesign in 2012. When it first launched in 2008, it was particularly popular, with more angular body lines than the seventh generation and those iconic triangular taillights. It received a minor facelift around 2010, with adjustments to the front and rear bumper designs, and the fog lights were changed to a longer, strip-like shape. If you're a used one, I recommend checking the vehicle identification plate – cars from after 2011 have slightly protruding taillight covers, which is the easiest detail to identify the year. The final batch of this generation was likely discontinued by late 2012, right before the ninth-generation Accord came out.

My family car is an eighth-generation Accord bought in 2010, a 2.0L automatic transmission model. The salesperson said this generation was launched in 2008 and was sold until mid-2012. I particularly remember the 2011 facelift when the fog lights changed from round to square, and the internal structure of the taillights was also modified. The early versions had exposed reverse radar sensors, while the later models hid them inside the bumper. This car has been running for 13 years now, and the engine has never needed major repairs. Honda's quality is truly reliable.

According to the research, the production period of the domestically produced 8th-generation Accord was from 2008 to 2012. It was divided into early and late models: the early models produced from 2008 to 2010 had yellow fender turn signals and a single exhaust pipe on one side; after the facelift in 2011, they were changed to clear lamp covers, and the high-end models still featured dual exhaust pipes. The engine options included 2.0L and 2.4L, and the best-selling model at that time was actually the 2.4EX version.

I remember it very clearly. At the 2008 Beijing Auto Show, I saw the domestically produced eighth-generation Accord for the first time, which had a longer wheelbase than the US version. The early models were sold until the end of 2010, and when the facelift came in 2011, it featured new wheels and a wider chrome grille trim. In 2012, a limited edition was also released, equipped with navigation and heated seats. When a used one, pay attention that cars after 2010 were upgraded to China IV emission standards, making the transfer process more convenient now.

I've worked on many 8th-generation Accords, which were launched in 2008 with chassis codes starting with CP. Before production ceased in April 2012, they underwent two revisions in 2010 and 2011. The most noticeable changes are in the fog lights: round in 2008, changed to round lights with chrome rings in 2010, and all became rectangular after 2011. The common issue of engine mount deterioration affects the entire series, so remember to check under the chassis when used.
