In the years 1984-2000 Honda cars were assembled by Banghan General. In 1992 their production was launched by Honda Cars Manufacturing Thailand, which in 2000 changed its name to Honda Au­tomobile (91.4% of its shares belong to Honda). At the 2003 Bangkok Motor Show, the company pre­sented the Thai Jazz hatchback (equivalent to the Fit), equipped with a 1.5-liter 88 hp unit. In 1996 the company launched the production of the indigenous City - a model not released in Japan. In 2002 it was replaced with the City II sedan, housing a 1.5-liter 88 hp or a 1.5-liter 110 hp engine. The ve­hicle has been exported to Japan as the Fit Aria since 2002. The present Civic sedan, restyled in 2003, has been in production since 2000. It comes with a 1.7-liter 120-130 hp or a 2.0-liter 155 hp power plant. Launched in 1997, the Accord gave way to the completely new Accord in 2003, different from the Japanese and American versions. It accommodates a 2.4-liter 160 hp or a V6 3.0-liter 220 hp unit. The old CR-V, in production since 1997, was replaced with the CR-V II generation SUV in 2002. The vehicle is fitted with a 2.0-liter 150 hp or a 2.4-liter 160 hp power plant. All vehicles are made with 80% of native components on average.
