This Inspire’s face earned a Star Wars nickname — Carscoops dubbed it "A Stormtrooper-Faced Accord For China" when it launched in 2023.
After a six-year hiatus, Honda revived the Inspire nameplate in 2018 for China only — built by Dongfeng Honda purely to replace the Spirior, with no return to Japan.
Most cars were ditching hydraulics for electric power steering by the 2000s — this Inspire generation went the other way, switching back to hydraulic.
The Japan-only UC1 Inspire wasn't just another sedan — it's the car Honda chose to debut Variable Cylinder Management on, the cylinder-deactivation tech that later spread across its whole lineup.
This Inspire flipped the usual script: it was designed and built in the United States, then shipped the other way across the Pacific to be sold in Japan — a first for Honda.
This Japanese-market Inspire wasn't built in Japan — starting with this generation, every Inspire and Saber came from Honda's Marysville, Ohio plant.
Honda farmed the first Inspire's cabin out to a furniture maker: Tendo Mokko supplied the leather trim and the real wood inserts on the dash and console, not an in-house design team.
