CB7 Trim models and their specifics (ex-r, ex, lx, dx, se)

[Makaveli2k]

I was browsing around looking for information on this but couldn't find much. I just basically wanted to know the features that were in these models that made them different. If anybody has any input I would seriously appreciate it.
CA = US
----------
LX = DX
EX = LX
EX-R = EX

I live in canada, and while browsing auto trader I cam accros accords with no trim level, just says Accord. Now how would I tell what kind it is. there is this one which caught my eye. It was Factory white, No BB's, black side mouldings and 92. I am really interested also which trim came with the DOHC F22b?

Search newbiean.

[Cletus Vandamn]

Yea I would like to know also, I couldnt find anything on the power seatbelts. My 92' LX does not have them but I could of sworn Ive seen them in other LX's before, what gives? I'm pissed mine doesnt have them. My last couple cars have all had power seatbelts so I always am forgetting to put the seatbelt on in my Accord because I'm so used to used it just doing it itself.

My Accord has no trim level. Still haven't figured out whats up with that though. As accrdkid said though there is plenty of information on the Trim Levels on this site. Just search.

[The G-Man]

Ok, i will tell you guys.

Only 90-91 had power seatbelts, which suck ass.

DX did not have power windows or locks, all other models do.
EX has sunroof, all other models do not.
EX came stock with alloy wheels, all other models got steelies.
EX had an upgraded seat fabric if you will.
DX had black bumpers and door handles, all other models were body color.

The SE trim was only around in 91 and 93, it came with leather, no option for a manual transmission and in 93 had a passenger airbag.

It has a trim level, it has to. Unless the cars in Aussieland are wierd. What options do you have?

I am really interested also which trim came with the DOHC F22b?

No trim came with the F22b, at least not one available in North America. The F22b is a JDM engine, that was put in early '90s Prelude's I think.

Ok the differences.

Canada's LX = basicaly the US version which is the DX
Canada's EX = basically like our LX and EX believe or not. I have the drivers manual right next to me (from my old car). The US EX and Canadian EX-R are basically on the same level. Although I could never figure out why they had the EX-R up in Canada (and NO the R in the EX-R does not mean Racer theres a technical term for it but unfortunately it doesn't mention it in the manual.

We did not have the DRL's (although I think it was an option) here while in Canada the laws strictly have them as standard equipment on all cars that were or are in Canadian manufacturing specs.


Now in Japan.

Yes they had the options probably standard , the funny part was Honda of America in Marysville , OH built the Japanese Market Accord right along side the USDM version at the plant. Some American Accords came from the Samriya (sp?) Japan plant were the NSX and Integra were and are still being built.

The European market had the Euro version of the Accord but from what I've read and heard they're very rare and the full model one that Ive seen and really liked was this EX that had heated seats and mirrors for the Nordic Trim ( an option readily available for the Far Northern countries of Europe : Sweden , Finland and Norway) theres a member from Norway here but I don't even know if he still comes around to the site.

This is the simple breakdown for the Chassis Codes for the markets the car served.

Plants were the cars were manufactured for their respectable markets.


Japan- (includes the US version that has the VIN tag begining in JHG)
Honda of Japan Ltd.
Samirya , Japan

Southeastern Asia
Honda of Southeastern Asia Ltd.
Bangkok , Thailand (Vietnam is also a possiblity)

England and the rest of Europe
Honda of England
Swindon , UK

This is information is what I can at least gather from where they were built back in the begining of the 89 model year (the 89 model year was basically an early start for the Japanese market).

If there is a way to get all the information , I'm probably gonna work on getting it. I was thinking of writing to Honda of America and asking them what were the options for various countries and maybe get some brouchures for the cars from back then.

I'll keep you all informed.

The 1990 Accord was completely revamped, inside and out. The fourth-generation Accord grew in size, power and popularity (in fact, the Accord was the best-selling car in America for three years in a row, 1990-1992.) The hatchback was dropped, leaving a notchback coupe and a four-door sedan as available choices. Wheelbase was increased by nearly 5 inches (now 107.1 inches), and weight went up, though even the heaviest Accord, the EX four-door, still weighed less than 3000 pounds. Styling in and out was very clean and purposeful, with a low beltline, large greenhouse (window area) and slim roof pillars that minimized blind spots. The uncluttered and chiseled appearance of the '90 Accord gave an overall impression of quality and solidity. This notion was confirmed when one simply hopped in the car and shut the door or turned a knob to put on the headlights. Doors shut with a solid "thunk" and switchgear had a precise and satisfying action.

In keeping with Honda's logical system of offering a few versions of each car with increasing standard features (as opposed to the American car makers' philosophy of offering a confusing array of options and option packages), three trim levels were available. One could choose a basic DX, a well-equipped LX (which, as before, had power windows/locks/mirrors, cruise control, A/C and a decent stereo cassette all standard) or the top-shelf EX (which added a power moonroof, alloy wheels and 5 more horsepower to an LX).

On the mechanical side, carburetors were history, as fuel injection was made standard on all Accords. The new 2.2-liter engine pumped out 125 horsepower in DX and LX trims, and 130 horses in the EX. Other changes included electronic control for the automatic transmission and motorized front shoulder belts (the latter to satisfy government safety requirements).

1990 Accords ranged in price from $12,145 for the DX Coupe to $16,595 for an EX Sedan.

Honda finally catered to those who loved the Accord but needed more luggage space by bringing out an Accord Wagon for 1991, which could be had in LX or EX trim levels. The wagon provided a total cargo volume (with the second seat flipped down) of nearly 65 cubic feet. And even with that seat up, there was still nearly 35 cubic feet available -- more than double the capacity of the sedan's trunk. Curiously, driver's side airbags were fitted to the wagons (which as a result did not need to use the motorized front shoulder belts) but not the sedans. And in a break with tradition, Honda brought out an SE (the "i" was dropped because all Accords were now injected) version, even though this was not the last year for this iteration of the Accord. The SE gilded the lily with leather seats, a more powerful engine (140 horsepower against the EX's 130) and antilock brakes, which were a first for the Accord. Capping the changes for this year was the addition of color-keyed mirrors on the LX and EX.

Feeling more generous, Honda equipped all 1992 Accords with a driver's side airbag, eliminating the somewhat annoying motorized shoulder belts of the sedans. This year, the SE was dropped from the team and the EX benefited by getting the 140 horsepower motor and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS (antilock braking system) formerly fitted to the SE. Revisions to the grille and bumpers were so subtle as to be barely noticeable. A more obvious update was fashioned on the taillights (except on the wagon), which made it easier to tell a '92 Accord Coupe or Sedan from its '91 counterpart.

Returning to business as usual, Honda brought back the SE for the fourth generation's last year, 1993. In addition to the expected leather seating and Bose stereo, the '93 SE was also available as a coupe version and (inexplicably) the sedan but not the coupe received a passenger's side airbag. A 10th anniversary LX Sedan model shared some features with the upper-end Accords, such as the dual airbags, alloy wheels and ABS.

canadian market just use the following substitution chart:

US -> Canadian
DX -> LX
LX -> EX
EX -> EX-R
SE -> SE

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...highlight=ex-r

the canadian market had standard features and options not available to the american market: drl's (standard), heated seats, etc.

again:

----------
Key:
CA = US
----------
LX = DX
EX = LX
EX-R = EX

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...highlight=ex-r

yet again:

usdm trim level = cdm trim level

dx = lx
lx = ex
ex = ex-r

there is no difference between the ex and the ex-r, save for options in canada that may not have been available in the u.s.

http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...ghlight=canada


and again:

CND EX-R = US EX so same everything
CND EX = US LX so same everything
CND LX = US DX so same everything
the only difference we have DRL (Day time running lights)
