On October 12, 1989, the "inspired Accord" was introduced. The Honda Inspire was shared with the Honda Vigor, which was a previous generation upper trim level JDM Honda Accord, and was later sold in the USA as the Acura Vigor. The Honda Inspire was offered to the customer base previously served with the shorter length and width first generation Honda Legend, which was co-developed with British Leyland and used for the Rover 800. The Inspire was introduced before the recession developed in Japan in the early 1990s, and Honda wanted a car that would compete with the Toyota Cresta and Nissan Laurel, with the unique 176 hp (131 kW) inline 5 cylinder Honda G engine, in a front wheel drive configuration. The Inspire was very successful for Honda. This 5 cylinder engine was also used in the JDM Honda Rafaga, which was a sedan.
The bodystyle was a 4-door hardtop, but it wasn't a true hardtop, using a "B" pillar between the front and rear passenger compartments, but used frameless side doors.
The Inspire was offered before the recession took hold of Japan's economy during the early 1990s, and offered a luxurious approach to the interior. Interior appearance was provided by the Japanese furniture company, Tendo Mokko, offering unique leather interior and genuine wood inserts for the dashboard and center console. A choice of wood inserts were offered.
The SOHC 4 valve per cylinder G20A Straight-5 cylinder was all new, with a choice of 2.0 L or 2.5 L engine displacement. The five cylinder was a compromise between the smaller, frugal but weaker 4 cylinder engine, and the larger, less fuel efficient V6 engine, as Honda wanted the engine to be a good match for the Inspire's luxury aspirations. The harshness typical of a 5 cylinder engine was minimized by adding a counter rotating balance shaft and improved engine motor mounts. The engine produced adequate torque, which helped its fuel efficiency. The transmission is attached to the bottom of the engine, which allowed the powertrain to remain slightly behind the front wheels.
The vehicles offered by competitors were front engine and rear drive, which put the Inspire at a disadvantage with the weight of the powertrain being entirely over the front axle. The turning radius of the Inspire also was not as tight as its competitors, but the Inspire did have an advantage in adverse traction conditions.
