2 Answers
Honda Accord does not have a manual transmission. The Honda Accord only comes with a CVT transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Related information: 1. Introduction: The Honda Accord is positioned as a leading model in China's mid-to-high-end car market, setting a new technological benchmark for the mid-to-high-end car segment. In 1999, the sixth-generation Accord entered China, becoming the first time that the latest and most advanced global model was introduced simultaneously in the Chinese automotive market. Since its entry into China, the Accord has consistently adhered to vertical generation upgrades and continuous evolution, earning the trust of over 1.5 million Chinese car owners. 2. Expansion: Based on a deep understanding of Chinese consumers' needs, GAC Honda has further enhanced the technological and luxurious feel of the ninth-generation Accord, positioning it as the "All-Value Evolution Technology Flagship," perfectly exceeding the expectations of the social elite for a mid-to-high-end vehicle.
Speaking of the manual transmission version of the Honda Accord, it was primarily available in some older models. The Accord has commonly offered manual transmissions since its first generation, with most models in the 1990s having a manual option. By the eighth generation (2008–2012), manual configurations were often found in the base 2.0L and 2.4L versions, such as the standard LX trim. During the ninth generation (2013–2017), manual transmissions were still retained in the basic Elite trim, but their availability diminished. Nowadays, the tenth generation or newer models are mostly automatic-only in most markets, especially in China, where automatic and hybrid variants dominate. The decline of manual transmissions is due to the maturity of automatic technology, greater convenience for daily driving, and lower demand leading to reduced production by manufacturers. If you truly want to drive a manual Accord, it’s recommended to search the used car market for ninth-generation or earlier models or inquire with local dealers about remaining inventory. Manual transmissions are fun to drive, but they can be tiring in urban traffic congestion.
