Japan Used Honda Concerto for Sale

The Honda Concerto is an automobile co-developed by Honda Motor Corporation and the Austin Rover Group. Based on the fourth generation (ED, EE, EF) Honda Civic it was introduced in Japan on June, 1988. The Japanese-built Concerto model codes are MA1 (1.5-liter), MA2 (1.6-liter), and MA3 (1.6-liter 4WD). The Concerto was sold in both liftback and sedan and built by Honda in Mie, Japan. The Japanese counterparts had double wishbones.

The production of the Concerto was began in June 1988. Engine choices were: 1.5 L (SOHC 2-barrel carb) with 91 PS (67 kW) at 6000 rpm and 1.6 L (SOHC twin carb) with 106 PS (78 kW) at 6300 rpm (105 PS).

Four-wheel drive was an option for the four-door sedan in Japan, a system later shared with the Civic-based Honda CR-V. The Japanese range received a facelift in 1991, when the twin-cam ZC engine was also added to the JZ-Si model.

The Concerto was sold internationally on a platform which was shared with the popular Honda 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 Concerto styling reflected an influence from the Honda Ascot, most notably the six-light window treatment of the greenhouse.

In Japan, The Concerto sedan was replaced by the Honda Domani and by the sedan version of the sixth generation (EK, EJ) Honda Civic in other markets. 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.
