Honda Civic 4 doors. This Japanese sedan, making its debut in the first half of the 90s, derives from the successful fifth-generation Civic hatchback, compared to which it presents itself with more elegant but equally proportionate shapes. It will be discontinued as early as 1995, to make room for the new MB series, less successful in terms of style. “}, {” Type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/ content / dam / quattroruote / en / news / curiosities / 2022/01/31 / sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_ / gallery / rsmall / berline-anni-90-gallery-46.JPG “,” big_url “:” https: //statics.quattroruote. it / content / dam / quattroruote / it / news / curiosities / 2022/01/31 / sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_ / gallery / rbig / berline-anni-90-gallery-46.JPG “,” caption “:”
Honda Accord. The fifth generation was introduced in Europe in 1993 and is a very different model from the car of the same name sold in the rest of the world. On the other hand, it was born in collaboration with Rover, which from the same platform gives life to the 600 Series, perhaps the most successful of the models of the British house of the 90s. “}, {” Type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_/gallery/rsmall/berline-anni-90-gallery-47.JPG “, “big_url”: “https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_/gallery/rbig/berline-anni-90-gallery-47.JPG “,” caption “:”
Volvo S40. Presented in 1995, it impresses the general public for its soft and rounded lines, which make it a breaking model in the history of the Swedish brand, of which it represents the entry level at the time. Even the wagon, called V40, is far from the classic ” boxy style ” that had characterized the previous wagons of the Scandinavian company. “}, {” Type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https: // statics .quattroruote.it / content / dam / quattroruote / en / news / curiosities / 2022/01/31 / sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_ / gallery / rsmall / berline-anni-90-gallery-48.JPG “,” big_url “:” https: / /statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_/gallery/rbig/berline-anni-90-gallery-48.JPG”,”caption “:”
Volvo 850. Debuting in 1991, it is the first large Volvo to adopt front-wheel drive. It will also be available in the high-performance T5-R version, which however will be remembered above all with the wagon body. “}, {” Type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/content /dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_/gallery/rsmall/berline-anni-90-gallery-49.JPG”,”big_url”:”https://statics.quattroruote.it /content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_/gallery/rbig/berline-anni-90-gallery-49.JPG”,”caption “:”
Volvo 900 Series. The top of the range of the Scandinavian brand of the 90s, is declined in two model classes, the 940 and 960, of which the first represents a more simplified (and therefore less expensive) version of the other. Also in this case, of course, there is no lack of wagon. “}, {” Type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita /2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_photo_/gallery/rsmall/berline-90anni-gallery-50.JPG”,”big_url”:”https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news /curiosita/2022/01/31/sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_photo_/gallery/rbig/berline-anni-90-gallery-50.JPG”,”caption “:”
Peugeot 406. This sedan arrived on the market in 1995, and then became a movie star thanks to the first two chapters of the Taxxi saga, scripted and produced by Luc Besson starting from 1998. In its range there will be the wagon and the 406 Coupé designed and produced by Pininfarina. “}, {” type “:” image “,” small_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/31/ sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_foto_ / gallery / rsmall / berline-anni-90-gallery-51.JPG “,” big_url “:” https://statics.quattroruote.it/content/dam/quattroruote/it/news/curiosita/2022/01/ 31 / sedan_le_mitiche_berline_degli_anni_90_photo_ / gallery / rbig / berline-anni-90-gallery-51.JPG “,” caption “:”
Peugeot 605. This is a flagship presented at the end of 1989 and designed by Pininfarina. Although the stylistic features adopted by the Lion logo at the time are evident, various enthusiasts note some similarities with another creature of the Piedmontese atelier, namely the Alfa Romeo 164. “}, {” Type “:” html “,” content “:”
After small and the coupe, let’s retrace another category of cars that in the 90s still met with great success, namely that of the most classic sedans: between D segment sedans and flagships, you will find in our image gallery as many as 50 models born (or deeply revised) in that decade, when this type of bodywork found customers even among the generalist brands, which today have now abandoned this bodywork due to the great appeal of SUVs. Moreover, already at the time some models with unfortunate commercial fates were the alarm bell of the phenomenon we will see in the new millennium.
