The {{nihongo|'''Honda Inspire'''|ホンダ・インスパイア|Honda Insupaia|lead=yes}} is a [[Mid-size car|mid-size]] [[Sedan (automobile)|sedan]] derived from the [[Honda Accord]] [[chassis]]. The first Inspire debuted in late 1989 as the Accord Inspire, a sister nameplate to the [[Honda Vigor]]. It was sold at different retail channels in Japan, known as ''[[Honda#Verno|Honda Verno]]'' for the Vigor/Saber, and as the Inspire at ''Honda Clio'' stores.

==Nameplate history==
In 1995, the Inspire was updated and exported to the US as the [[Acura TL|Acura 3.2 TL]], while the Vigor nameplate was replaced with the '''Honda Saber'''. The longitudinal 2.5L [[straight-five engine]] layout and platform remained and was sold as the Acura 2.5 TL.

In 1999, these cars were replaced by the second generation TL that was based on the US-spec Accord platform, and largely designed and engineered in the US by [[Honda R&D Americas|Honda R&D Americas, Inc.]] in Raymond, Ohio. Manufactured in the US, these were imported into Japan as the new Inspire and Saber.

In June 2003, the fourth-generation Inspire was introduced in Japan derived from the North American Honda Accord V6. This Inspire marks the first time Honda introduced their [[Variable Cylinder Management]] technology. In October 2005, the fourth-generation Inspire received a mild restyle, with new headlights, new tail lights, revised interior and new colors. The Inspire targeted the [[Nissan Teana]], the [[Toyota Mark X]] and numerous other entry level luxury cars from Japan.

In October 2007, the fifth-generation Inspire was previewed at the [[Tokyo Motor Show#2007|Tokyo Motor Show]]. It is essentially a rebadged 2008 North American market Accord with minor exterior and interior modifications.

In September 2012, after six generations and 23 years, along with the introduction of the [[Honda Accord (ninth generation)|ninth-generation Accord]], the Inspire ended production for a six-year period. It was then relaunched in 2018 as a China-only model based on the [[Honda Accord#Tenth generation (2018)|tenth-generation Accord]].

On October 12, 1989, the '''Honda Accord Inspire''' was introduced. The platform was shared with the [[Honda Vigor]], a [[Japanese domestic market|JDM]] Honda Accord derived five-cylinder luxury sedan available only at ''Honda Verno'' dealerships. The Inspire was introduced during the bubble developed in Japan which would burst in the early 1990s (known in Japan as the "[[Japanese asset price bubble|bubble economy]]").<ref>{{Cite web |title=Japan's Lost Decade --- Policies for Economic Revival |url=https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/nft/2003/japan/index.htm |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=www.imf.org}}</ref> The [[SOHC]] four valves per cylinder [[Honda G engine|G20A]] inline-five engine was all new and was also used in the JDM [[Honda Rafaga]], which was a shorter sedan shared with the second generation [[Honda Ascot]]. In Japan, the smaller G20A engine used regular grade fuel, while the larger G25A engine used premium grade fuel.

The body style was a four-door [[hardtop]], but it wasn't a true hardtop, using a [[Pillar (car)|"B" pillar]] between the front and rear passenger compartments, and instead it used frameless doors. The Inspire was available in two versions; a shorter and narrower version badged as the Accord Inspire, with a G20A 2.0-liter engine in compliance with Japanese [[Vehicle size class#Japan|vehicle size requirements]] for cars classified as "compact". The CB5 Inspire was offered in three trim levels: the base AZ-i with manual transmission, AG-I with fog lamps and optional sunroof as well as central locking, and the top spec luxury AX-i with leather upholstery, more safety features and full cruise control as well as power seats. A longer and wider version with the G20 (CC3) or with the new G25A 2.5-liter engine (CC2) debuted in early 1992, similar in dimensions to the first generation Legend. The larger CC2 and CC3 Inspire was a mild makeover of the first CB5 Inspire, featuring updated full-width boot lamps (the updated Vigor had conventional single lamp units) with less chrome, larger bumpers with new wrap-around cornering lamp design (instead of the optional separate units like the CB5) and mesh alloy wheels. The new Inspire offered fewer trim levels and the 2-liter inline-five received a minor upgrade, with power creeping up from {{cvt|160|to|165|PS|kW|0}}. The new 2.5 develops {{cvt|190|PS|kW|0}}. The CC2/CC3 Inspire shared more features with the Acura Vigor under a 'wide-body' marketing campaign with minor differences. The smaller-bodied Accord Inspire continued to be available alongside the larger CC2/CC3 until the introduction of the second generation Inspire, as it fit a much lower tax category.

The Inspire offered a luxurious approach to the interior as a lower price alternative to the top level [[Honda Legend|Legend]], and both vehicles were sold at ''Honda Clio'' dealerships. Interior appearance was provided by the Japanese furniture company, [[Tendo Mokko]], offering unique leather interior and a choice of genuine wood inserts for the dashboard and center console.

The transmission is attached behind the engine, with a driveshaft that sends power to the front of the car to an [[Asymmetry|asymmetrically]] installed [[limited-slip differential]] which then supplies power to the front wheels using [[half shaft]]s; this allowed the powertrain to remain slightly behind the front wheels. This also gave the car a 60:40 front to rear [[weight distribution]]. The turning radius of the Inspire also was not as tight as its competitors due to the use of [[Constant-velocity joint]] installed on the front axle half shafts, but the Inspire did have an advantage in adverse traction conditions.

The second generation Inspire was almost identical in its dimensions to the first generation 1986 Honda Legend, with that vehicle having been updated and enlarged to better fit the role of flagship for the Honda and Acura brands. The second generation Inspire was available with the Type I 3.2 L V6 offered in the Legend on July 6, 1995, while still offering the straight 5 in both 2.0 L and 2.5 L versions. The profile of this vehicle was reduced somewhat to {{cvt|1405|mm|in|1}}. The luxury approach was enhanced. A carryover from the previous generation saw marginal increases in length, width, and height dimensions for vehicles installed with the V6 engine, but the smaller dimensions were not in compliance with Japanese government [[Vehicle size class#Japan|regulations concerning dimensions]] and maximum engine displacement, thereby giving buyers an incentive in interior accommodations when purchasing the V6 model. Each engine choice obligated the Japanese buyer with increased annual [[Road tax#Japan|road tax]] liability, and one trim level package was designated with the engine choice, offering stepped levels of standard and luxury equipment for each selection.

The Inspire, sold at ''Honda Clio'' dealerships, was also known as the ({{langx|ja|[[:ja:ホンダ・セイバー|Honda Saber]]}}) and sold at the ''Honda Verno'' sales network, and mechanically identical to the UA1-UA3 Inspire. Starting with this generation, all Inspire and Saber vehicles were manufactured at Honda's [[Marysville Auto Plant]] in Ohio, USA.

November 8, 1996 saw the introduction of dual airbags for front seat passengers and anti-lock brakes as standard.

This version of the Inspire competed with the [[Toyota Camry (XV20)#Gracia|Toyota Camry Gracia]], [[Toyota Mark II|Mark II]], [[Toyota Cresta|Cresta]] and [[Toyota Chaser|Chaser]], the [[Nissan Cefiro]] and [[Nissan Skyline|Skyline]], the [[Mazda Millenia]], and the [[Mitsubishi Diamante]].

The third generation Honda Inspire/Saber was introduced October 15, 1998, and was the first Honda designed and built in the US and exported to Japan. In North America, this vehicle was sold as the [[Acura TL]], while in Japan it was the second model that accompanied the flagship [[Honda Legend]] at ''[[Honda#Japan|Honda Clio]]'' Japanese dealerships. The Saber version of this car was sold as the top level sedan at ''Honda Verno''. Honda's internet-based navigation system [[Internavi]] was introduced with this generation.

The Inspire no longer offered the [[straight-five engine]], and instead offered the [[VTEC]]-equipped 3.2-litre J32A and 2.5-litre J25A [[V6 engine]]s, and a choice of a 4- or 5-speed automatic transmission. The bodystyle was changed from hardtop to sedan as a result of the USA-spec Accord having been upgraded to meet USA requirements for improved side impact protection. A cabin air filter, also known as a pollen filter is introduced with this generation and is located behind the glove compartment for all vehicles sold internationally.

The Honda Saber was discontinued April 2003 along with the consolidation of the Honda Japan sales networks Primo, Clio and Verno.

The fourth generation Honda Inspire was introduced June 18, 2003. This vehicle was built at the Saitama Prefecture facility in [[Sayama]], Japan. It was built on the same platform as the [[Honda Accord (North America seventh generation)|North American seventh generation Honda Accord]]. Unlike the North American variant it was based on, the Inspire would only come in the sedan body style, while powertrain was only available with the 3.0 L [[Honda J engine|J30A]] (marked as J30A-60) V6 with [[i-VTEC]], and a  5-speed automatic transmission + Smatic.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Honda｜インスパイア（2007年11月終了モデル）｜メカニズム |url=https://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/inspire/2007/mechanism/ |access-date=2025-10-05 |website=www.honda.co.jp}}</ref> It was available in three trims including 30TE, 30TL, and AVANZARE, with the latter being the highest trim.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=6-2003 to 10-2005 Inspire Specifications|url=https://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/inspire/2005/grade-data/|access-date=12 June 2021|website=Honda Japan}}</ref> A 30TE limited trim would be available for the 2005 model year.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Honda Inspire 30TE Limited (May 2005) Spec Information|url=https://www.goo-net.com/catalog/HONDA/INSPIRE/10027823/|access-date=12 June 2021|website=goo-net used car}}</ref>

Styling would be consistent between the Inspire and Accord it was based upon. Notable differences would include standard fog lights on all trims, a redesigned grill, and a new light on the trunk lid.<ref name=":0" /> The headlights are different as well featuring [[High-intensity discharge lamp]] bulbs for the low beams.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|title=11-2005 to 11-2007 Inspire Specifications|url=https://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/inspire/2007/equipment/equipmentlist.html|access-date=12 June 2021|website=Honda Japan}}</ref> A new styling was introduced November 4, 2005, changing both the front grille and rear tail lights, in which LED lighting would be implemented.

This was the first vehicle to showcase Honda's [[Variable Cylinder Management]] (VCM) technology. Another technology introduced on the Inspire was Honda's [[Collision Mitigation Brake System]] (CMBS, originally introduced as CMS).<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Honda Worldwide | work = News Releases | title = Honda Announces a Full Model Change for the Inspire | date = June 18, 2003|url=http://world.honda.com/news/2003/4030618_2.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230004825/http://world.honda.com/news/2003/4030618_2.html|archive-date=2014-12-30}}</ref> Honda also made available its [[Intelligent Highway Cruise Control]] (IHCC), "C-MOS", which utilized a front-mounted camera to [[Lane departure warning system|assist in unwanted lane drifting]].Honda Intelligent Driver Support(HIDS).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Intelligent driver-assistive technology｜Honda Technology｜Honda |url=https://global.honda/en/tech/Intelligent_driver_assistance/ |access-date=2025-10-05 |website=global.honda |language=en}}</ref> An Internet-based navigation service called [[Internavi]] is available for drivers in Japan. A notable change would be the change to [[Electric power-steering]] (EPS). This was in effort to reduce power demands on the engine, thereby improving fuel economy.

The fifth generation Honda Inspire was released on December 21, 2007 in Japan. Like the fourth generation Inspire, the fifth generation would be based on the [[Honda Accord (North America eighth generation)|North American eighth generation Honda Accord]]. Unlike the North American car it was based upon, and like its predecessor, the fifth generation Inspire would only be available as a sedan with a V6. It would use a similar 5-speed automatic transmission, but power would be increased by switching to the 3.5 L [[Honda J engine#J35|J35Z2]] [[i-VTEC]] [[Variable Cylinder Management|VCM]] V6 (marked as J35A-80).<ref>{{Cite web| date = December 19, 2007 | title = Honda Announces an All-New Inspire|url=https://global.honda/newsroom/news/2007/4071219-inspire-eng.html|access-date=17 June 2021|website= Honda Global |language=en}}</ref>

Unlike its North American relative, the Inspire continued to have technologies such as [[Collision Mitigation Brake System]] (CMBS), IHCC is replaced with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Honda's [[Internavi]]  [[telematics]] subscription service. One significant change was the switch to hydraulic power steering, replacing Electric power-steering.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Honda│インスパイア（2010年7月終了モデル）│スペック |url=https://www.honda.co.jp/auto-archive/inspire/2010/specification/ |access-date=2025-10-05 |website=www.honda.co.jp}}</ref>

There are few exterior and interior differences between this Inspire and the Southeast Asian Honda Accord. Sales of this generation of the Inspire ended September 2012 in Japan.

The sixth generation Inspire was released in 2018 as a sedan designed exclusively for the Chinese market. It is based on the [[Honda Accord|North American tenth generation Honda Accord]] with a redesigned front and rear [[Glossary of automotive design#D|DRG]]. The sixth generation Inspire is made by [[Dongfeng Honda]] to replace the [[Honda Spirior|Spirior]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2018/06/21/new-honda-inspire-china/|title=This Is The New Honda Inspire For China | date = 2018-06-21 | first = Joey | last = Wang | work = CarNewsChina}}</ref>
