The 1997 Honda Accord is part of a series of mid-sized cars manufactured by Honda since 1976; however, 1997 marked the last year in the fifth generation of the Accord. Honda has offered several Accord body styles and versions. The 1997 models retained much of the styling and features of past years in anticipation of the new 1998 model.
Model and Production
Production of Honda Accords in the United States began in 1982. While the 1997 model lineup did not undergo any changes, largely in anticipation of the new 1998 Accord, a Special Edition version was launched for the 1997 model year. The Accord Special Edition was very similar to the LX models, but had more upscale features such as a CD deck and moonroof.

There are nine trim levels available on the 1997 Honda Accord. The two-door coupes are offered as LX, EX and Special Edition models. The four-door sedans are available as DX, EX, LX and Special Edition models, in addition to the EX and LX V-6 sedans or station wagons.
