And it was not a compact car it was a mid size car with 2 door coupe and 3 door hatch back and 4 door sedan with 5 speed manual transmission and 4 speed automatic transmission and designed by Toshihiko Shimizu in 1987

In the U.S., the LX-i and SE-i designations were dropped, being replaced with the DX, LX, and EX trim levels. The Canadian Accord trim levels varied slightly from the U.S. models with LX, EX and EX-R roughly corresponding to the American DX, LX, and EX, respectively. Fourth generation Japanese-assembled EXi Accords sold in Australia offered the same 4-wheel steering technology as was available optionally on the U.S. Honda Prelude, but was not included on the New Zealand-assembled versions. The four-wheel steering system was also available on the Accord's Japanese platform mate, called the Honda Ascot FTBi. U.S. Accord Coupes were available in the same DX, LX, and EX trims as the U.S. Accord Sedan (LX, EX, and EX-R in Canada).

              Fifth Generation 1994-1997

The fifth generation version was introduced in 1994 and assembled in Japan, USA, New Zealand, Mexico, Philippines with a mid size body with 4 speed automatic and 5 speed manual transmission and the engine of 1.8 L F18B, I4 2.0 L F20B, I4 2.0 L F20B3 I4, 2.2 L F22A3 I4, 2.2 L F22B I4, 2.2 L F22B1 I4, 2.2 L F22B2 I4, 2.2 L H22A I4, 2.7 L C27A4 V6

The Fifth Generation 1994-97

The 5th generation North American Accord was launched on September 9, 1993 and was based on the new 'CD' chassis. Larger than its predecessor, primarily to better suit the requirements of the North American market, the new model grew in width but shrunk in length, leaving it classified as a mid-size car in North America. It thus became too wide to fit within the favorable tax bracket in Japan, where its role was to be partially taken over by the slightly narrower second-generation Honda Ascot

             Sixth Generation 1998-2002

The Sixth Generation was introduced in 1997 and for the sixth generation, Honda split the Accord into three separate models, designed for the Japanese, North American, and European markets and designed in style by Toshihiko Shimizu and Gen Tamura and assembled in Japan and China and then this where Honda introduced Honda type R to compete from Mitsubishi Evo.

Sixth Generation 1998-2002 Honda Accord 

In Japan they introduced Japanese Models of Honda Accords introduced in September 1994 it became more narrower than the other previous versions When the previous generation Accord grew in exterior dimensions, this reclassified the Accord as a mid sized car in Japan.
            Seventh Generation 1998-2002 

The Seventh Generation was introduced in 2002 and 2003 in the North American version However; both were in fact sold in many other markets, fueled by the popular Cog advertisement for the Accord. Euro R trim continued into this generation as performance model for Japanese market, making use of K20 engine producing 220 hp, however, European performance model was renamed Type S and used larger K24 engine tuned to produce 190 hp.

The Seventh Generation looked exactly like the previous sixth Generation one but with a little touch in the headlights and with a new body as its introduction in 2003 it was awarded Car of the Year in Japan.

The North American Accord grew in size yet again, becoming a vastly different car than its Japanese and European counterpart. This generation was available in both coupe and sedan forms, while a hybrid model was introduced in early 2005.[33] For 2006, it was significantly updated

While Suzuki Alto was getting famous in other countries in Australia it was not a proper hatchback and was only featuring an open rear window then a 4WD (Four Wheel drive) version came in 1983. In Australia First Generation Suzuki was two seated and selling it and taxed 35 percent extra

The second version of alto was introduced in September 1984 as 1985 model it had the same engine of 2 stroke but with a new body and was also available in turbocharged for racing and optional for multi valves.


Three months later they introduced the 4wd four wheel drive then they introduced more modifications and turbocharged engine in 4wd and then they introduced 3 speed automatic than 2 speed automatic that they have been using before

In Europe as only four speed manual or 2 speed automatic and in Pakistan it is known as Mehran  and has upgraded fuel consumption and also sold in india known as Muruti 800 with 769cc engine.

In 1988 China introduced a new engine F8B used as a market export by Chang'an Motors and was replaced by the facelifted SC7081 Alto/City Baby/Little Prince/Happy Prince in 2001. And then there was an another version of AN Alto that was built by Jangquan since 1992

CL 11/ CM 11 Version Alto 

The third generation (CL/CM11) replaced the CA71 in September 1988. This was the last generation of Alto to have an associated Fronte model. It had strikingly angular styling, with an unusual glazed C-pillar on the 5-door. Another curiosity of this generation was the availability of a version with sliding doors, the "Slide Slim", intended to simplify entering and exiting in tight spaces. It also made egress easier for the old and the infirm. 

When the Fronte name was discontinued in October 1989, the passenger car versions (CN/CP11) became Altos. 

Initially the CL11 used the 12-valve 42 hp (31 kW) F5B engine known from the SS71 Cervo, but with an added 34 hp (25 kW) 6-valve version in lower-spec versions. 

A 46 hp (34 kW) DOHC version was also available Alto TAXI Imported in 1990,s  in the Twin Cam Rl. Passenger car versions had the same engines, but all with 2 hp less due to more stringent emissions controls.

The fuel-injected, 12-valve, turbocharged Works models came with an SOHC 58 hp (43 kW) engine (FF S/X or 4WD S/R) or a 64 hp (48 kW) DOHC version (FF RS/X or 4WD RS/R). The front-wheel-drive Works' were available with a 3-speed automatic in addition to the standard 5-speed manual.
The CL11 Alto was sold in Korea, Poland, Romania and Uzbekistan as the Daewoo Tico, and in China by Anchi.

It is famous in Pakistan as a Taxi because it has less fuel consumption 

5th Generation Alto 1988-1994 HA12/22  Model  2000-2012.

The fifth-generation Alto (HA12/22) was introduced in October 1998. The styling was generally more rounded, the shape of the cabin showing the Alto's relationship with the new Suzuki Kei. The 658 cc K6A engine was now also available without a turbocharger, joining the turbocharged version and the familiar 657 cc F6A engines. The turbocharged Works models were available with a 60 hp F6A engine (i.e., 5MT/3AT and FF or 4WD) or a 64 hp VVT K6A (RS/Z, 5MT and FF or 4WD). The front-wheel-drive RS/Z was sold with a non-VVT K6A engine when in combination with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it too with a claimed 64 hp. In December 2000, the Works versions were discontinued, as the Alto was realigned as an economy version. The Suzuki Kei Sports picked up the Works' mantle.

The sixth generation (HA24) was introduced in 2004. The bonnet and headlamps curved down at the front, giving a similar effect to the Toyota WiLL Vi or the Citroën C2. The Alto was realigned as a less costly car to accommodate new models such as the Cervo and Alto Lapin. The more powerful engines were moved into the other more upmarket versions like the Suzuki Kei Works and Alto Lapin SS, leaving the Alto with only a 54 PS (53 hp; 40 kW) version. In Japan, this version of the Alto was rebadged as the Nissan Pino and Mazda Carol.
