The 1995 Honda Accord Sedan DX is the entry-level, base trim of Honda's highly successful fifth-generation mid-size sedan. Renowned for its exceptional reliability, low cost of ownership, and balanced driving dynamics, it remains a hallmark of 1990s automotive engineering.
Core Specification
- Engine: 2.2-liter inline 4-cylinder (non-VTEC)
- Horsepower: 130 hp @ 5,300 RPM
- Torque: 139 lb-ft @ 4,200 RPM
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive (FWD)
- Transmissions: 5-speed manual (standard) or 4-speed automatic (optional)
- Fuel Economy: Roughly 22 city / 29 highway MPG
As the budget-oriented DX trim, this model focused on mechanical simplicity rather than luxury:
- Safety: Dual front airbags (SRS) but lacked anti-lock brakes (ABS), which were optional on higher trims.
- Suspension: 4-wheel independent double-wishbone setup that yielded excellent, responsive handling.
- Interior Comforts: Variable-assist power steering, a tilt steering wheel, and a lockable fold-down rear seatback.
- Notable Omissions: The base DX originally shipped without standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, or a built-in radio---amenities reserved for the up-tier LX and EX lines.
