The seventh-generation Honda Accord for the European and Japanese markets was a mid-sized sedan and wagon, produced by Honda from 2002 to 2007.
This generation saw the European and Japanese Accord, previously separate models converge into one version designed to be more competitive in the European market, with the addition of a station wagon and the first Honda-built diesel engine available later in its life. In the Japanese market, the Accord was merged into the Torneo, in an effort to more sharply rival its Japanese sport sedan contemporaries such as the Mazda Atenza and Subaru Legacy, with a variant of the larger North American Accord being sold in Japan as the Honda Inspire to compete in the entry-level luxury sedan class.
The wheelbase and outside dimensions of the Accord grew in outside dimensions slightly, falling out of the size 5 tax band in Japan.
In some markets where both versions of the Accord are sold, such as in New Zealand and Australia, the JDM Accord is called Accord Euro to distinguish it from its North American counterpart. It became a top seller in its class in Australia, where over 45,000 sedans were sold between 2003 and 2008. The JDM Accord is also exported to North America and Canada, where it is sold as the Acura TSX.
When this car was in production, it competed with the Opel/Vauxhall Vectra, Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat, Mazda 6 and the Toyota Avensis.
