How to interpret “2010” and what’s included
Automakers use different conventions: North America sells by model year (MY), while other regions reference calendar-year availability. This guide notes the 2010 model-year lineup in North America and the cars on sale during calendar year 2010 elsewhere. It focuses on Honda-branded passenger vehicles (not motorcycles or Acura, Honda’s luxury brand), and calls out notable alternative-powertrain variants.
2010 lineup by region
United States and Canada (2010 model year)
These are the Honda-branded vehicles sold as 2010 model-year products in the U.S. and Canada, with notes on limited-availability variants.
- Fit (subcompact hatchback)

- Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe
- Civic Si (performance trims of the sedan/coupe)
- Civic Hybrid (gas-electric sedan)
- Civic GX (CNG-powered sedan; limited to select states/markets)
- Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe (mid-size)

Japan’s 2010 portfolio emphasized space-efficient MPVs and hybrids, with the Fit Hybrid and CR-Z anchoring Honda’s push into affordable electrified models.
Asia-Pacific outside Japan (selected markets, 2010)
Across markets such as Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, and others, Honda’s lineup centered on small cars and family staples, with specifics varying by country.
- City (subcompact sedan; widely sold across Asia)
- Jazz (Fit) hatchback
- Civic (sedan; Type R availability limited)
- Accord (regional specs)
- CR-V (compact SUV)
- Insight (hybrid; select markets)
- Odyssey (often the JDM-style minivan in this region)
- Stream, Freed (MPVs; availability country-dependent)
- Legend (limited in certain countries)
- Australia-specific note: “Accord Euro” (the European Accord) sold alongside the larger “Accord V6”
These offerings targeted regional demand for compact sedans and MPVs, with some markets adding hybrids and the Euro-designed Accord alongside the larger global Accord.
China (mainland, 2010)
Honda sold locally built models via two joint ventures—GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda—complemented by a few imports.
- GAC Honda: Accord (8th gen), City, Fit (Jazz), Odyssey
- Dongfeng Honda: Civic, CR-V, Spirior (based on the European Accord)
- Imports in very limited numbers included select hybrids in pilot programs
The two-JV strategy allowed Honda to cover compact through D-segment sedans and SUVs, with the CR-V and Accord among the volume leaders.
Latin America (selected markets, 2010)
Lineups varied by country, but core nameplates were consistent across the region.
- Fit (often built regionally, e.g., Brazil)
- City (widely sold; regional production in Brazil/Argentina)
- Civic (sedan)
- Accord (select markets)
- CR-V (compact SUV)
- Pilot and Ridgeline (limited availability in certain countries)
Brazil and surrounding markets emphasized the City and Fit, while Mexico and others added larger models like the Accord and select trucks/SUVs.
Body styles and powertrains offered in 2010
Beyond nameplates, Honda’s 2010 portfolio spanned multiple body styles and propulsion types to meet regional needs and regulations.
- Body styles: hatchbacks (Fit/Jazz, Insight, CR-Z), sedans (City, Civic, Accord, Legend, Inspire), wagons/estates (Accord Tourer), MPVs/minivans (Freed, Stream, Stepwgn, Odyssey, Elysion), SUVs/crossovers (CR-V, Element, Pilot, Crossroad), pickup (Ridgeline)
- Powertrains: gasoline (global), diesel i-DTEC (primarily Europe on Accord/CR-V), hybrid (Insight, Civic Hybrid, CR-Z; Fit Hybrid in Japan late 2010), CNG (Civic GX in U.S.), and fuel cell (FCX Clarity in very limited lease markets)
This mix gave Honda coverage from high-efficiency city cars to family haulers and niche technologies like CNG and fuel cells, albeit with the latter sold in small numbers.
Notes and caveats
Some models were introduced, discontinued, or facelifted during 2010, and naming can differ by region (e.g., Jazz vs. Fit; Accord Euro vs. Accord). The CR-Z launched in Japan early 2010 and reached Europe later that year; the Fit Hybrid debuted in Japan in October 2010; the Civic Type R was winding down in some markets due to emissions changes. North American model-year timing also means vehicles labeled “2010” could have reached showrooms in late 2009.
Summary
In 2010, Honda’s car lineup spanned global staples—Fit/Jazz, City, Civic, Accord, CR-V—plus an expanding set of hybrids (Insight, Civic Hybrid, CR-Z, and Japan’s Fit Hybrid) and region-specific MPVs and flagships (Freed, Stepwgn, Stream, Odyssey, Legend/Inspire). North America added the Accord Crosstour, Element, Pilot, Ridgeline, and specialty variants like the Civic GX and FCX Clarity. Exact availability varied by market and whether you look at calendar year or 2010 model year, but the models above represent the Honda-branded cars Honda was making and selling in 2010.
