Starting with the fifth generation, Honda made different models for the U.S. and for the European markets, such as the 1993 Accord Aerodeck, which was not available on the State-side.

Honda introduced the fifth generation of the European Accord in 1992 only as a sedan, while the station wagon showed-up in the following year. It wasn’t such a big surprise, since the customers already expected that version. The European customers were still more attracted to that type of bodywork than to MPVs or SUVs.

On the outside, the long, horizontal headlights were curved and resembled the Honda Prelude front fascia, with a tiny grille where the carmaker couldn’t fit the H badge, so it moved it on the hood. Its profile revealed a longer roof extended over the trunk area and a set of side windows behind the rear doors. Honda didn’t name its version “Aerodeck” for nothing. Its sloped tailgate was more aerodynamic than most of the station wagons from that era, with their flat vertical drops. The D-pillars were darkened to create a wrapped-around window area in the back.

Inside, the carmaker kept the same materials used on the fourth generation and the same seats, but with more headroom for the rear passengers’ thanks to the slightly higher greenhouse. In the rear, the split-folding bench allowed an increase for the trunk area and loading longer items.

Under the hood, Honda installed the same F20 engine family as its predecessor, paired with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The most potent version was a 2.3-liter engine carried over from the third generation Prelude.
