The Honda Concerto is a mid-sized luxury sedan produced from 1988 to 1994. The Concerto was designed for European tastes and jointly developed by Honda and the Austin Rover Group and was introduced in Japan on 15 June 1988,[2] and in European markets in October 1989. Japanese production finished in October 1992 and British production finished in 1994. The car was named for the musical composition and was a successor to the second generation Honda Ballade, a higher specification Honda Civic. All Japanese versions were exclusive to Japanese Honda dealerships called Honda Clio.

Production and delivery


The Concerto was sold in both liftback and sedan styles and built in two locations, Austin Rover's Longbridge plant for the European market, and by Honda in Suzuka, Mie, Japan.

Japanese production began in June 1988 and European deliveries began after British Concerto production commenced at the end of 1989.[3] The Europe-only models, such as the 1.4, were released in October 1989.[4] In Australia and some European countries, for example Germany and Switzerland, it was only sold as a five-door liftback. In other markets it acted as replacement for the Honda Integra five-door liftback. The sedan version was produced until 1993 for most nations, especially in the United Kingdom, where sales were lower compared to the Rover 200 and Rover 400 Series.


Specifications


The Japanese-built models, MA1 (1.5-liter), MA2 (1.6-liter) and MA3 (1.6-liter 4WD) were produced with double wishbone suspension whilst the British-built model, HW, were produced with MacPherson struts.

Engine choices were:

The four-door sedan was offered with four-wheel drive in Japan, a system later shared with the Civic-based compact SUV, the Honda CR-V. The Japanese range received a facelift in February 1991, when the twin-cam ZC engine was also added to the JZ-Si model.[5]

The Concerto was sold internationally on a platform which was shared with the popular Civic. Just like the five-door Integra it replaced, it offered more features than the Civic and was aimed at a more prestigious section of the market. The styling of the Concerto reflected an influence from the Honda Ascot, most notably the six-light window treatment of the greenhouse.


Replacement


Honda stopped manufacturing the Concerto in Great Britain when its partner, Rover, was taken over by BMW in 1994.

The Concerto sedan was replaced by the Honda Domani in Japan and by the sedan version of the sixth generation (EK and EJ) Honda Civic in other markets. The hatchback version was replaced in Europe by the Domani-based 5-door Civic hatchback which was quite different from the rest of the sixth generation Civic range instead, as with the Domani, being based on the platform that underpinned the fifth generation (EG and EH) Civics. The Domani/5-door Civic hatchback formed the basis for the 1995 Rover 400 while the 1995 Rover 200 was based on the fourth generation Honda Civic platform, and therefore the Concerto's too.
