Honda Accord 1 Million Anniversary Edition In China

Honda Accord

This is a Honda Accord 1 Million Anniversary Edition, I met it in Beijing in December 2012. The good Honda was in fine shape, painted in black with darkened windows and fitted with the standard gray alloy wheels.

The Honda Accord 1 Million Anniversary Edition was launched in 2010 and is based on the eight-generation Honda Accord. It was a special edition that celebrated the one-millionth China-made Honda Accord. Production of the Accord in China started in 2004 at the Guangzhou-Honda joint venture, known today as GAC-Honda or Guangqi-Honda.

The 1 Million Anniversary Edition was loaded with all options, and it had these super cool badges on the C-pillar. The badge mixes silver and gold with a large ‘1’ in the middle. I have an official dealer 1:43 model of the 1 Million Anniversary Edition with super-oversized badges. I will dig it up and post some pictures later on.

The 1 Million Edition was only sold in 2010. In that year, the Guangzhou-Honda Accord was available with three engines: a 2.0, a 2.4, and a 3.5-liter V6. The 1 Million Edition, however, only came with the 2.4-liter four.

Output was 179 hp and 225 Nm. The transmission was a five-speed automatic. The Accord was a front-wheel drive car. The top speed was 203 km/h and 0-100 took a somewhat slow 12.5 seconds. Fuel consumption was 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The 1 Million Edition sold for 229.800 RMB, 10.000 RMB more than the standard car. Was it worth the extra cash? Sure so, any special edition is cool, and 1 million editions are cooler still.
