HONDA Accord Coupe 1998 - 2002

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

Designed and engineered in the U.S. and built in Maryland, the 1998 Accord Coupe offered a balanced mix of performance, fuel-efficiency and comfortable ride qualities.

While Honda was still trying to convince people to buy the Prelude, it introduced the Accord Coupe, which proved to be, somehow, a far better option and, along with the S2000 introduced in 2000, it killed the Prelude.

Honda agreed to have its Accord Coupe designed in its studios from L.A. and built it in the U.S., where it had the biggest market. But it didn’t keep it only on the State-side of the Atlantic. It crossed the pond and landed on the European continent as well. It was longer, wider, and sat lower than its four- or five-door sibling from Europe, but it shared some underpinnings with that for the suspension.

Inside, Honda offered the Accord Coupe with tons of features so it could make occupants’ lives more pleasant on long journeys. The front bucket-seats offered good comfort and side bolstering. In the back, the carmaker installed three seatbelts but only two headrests. Honda considered installing a split, 60/40 rear seat backseat to expand the trunk area or to load longer objects. Among other features, the Accord Coupe sported wood-trims on the dash, power everything (doors, mirrors, seats, sunroof) and dual-airbags.

Under the car, Honda installed a four-link double-wishbone front suspension and a five-link independent rear one. Under the hood, the Japanese carmaker offered the Accord Coupe with a 2.0-liter VTEC engine paired to a standard five-speed manual, while the full-options model featured a 3.0-liter V-6 paired to a four-speed automatic.
