AI-generated summary
Avancier was once an exclusive car model for the Chinese market. This revision will transform it into a global strategic car, aiming to fill the market gap after the discontinuation of Odyssey.
Honda is counting down to the launch of its new seven-seater SUV. Recently, the official released a teaser photo showing some details. It has a wide body and "ㄇ"-shaped taillights. For this, "kolesa.ru", which specializes in drawing previews of new cars, tried to restore the appearance of the entire vehicle and presented it in a simple layout. The front of the car uses a large-area closed style to create a technological look. It is expected to be unveiled in January next year.
According to the preview released by "kolesa.ru", Honda's new Avancier has a domineering body shape. The front of the car is presented in a large-area closed style. The daytime running lights are sharp and narrow lines, with separate headlights below. The air intake grille can be seen on the front bumper, with amazingly sized wheels and muscular sides. The rear of the car has a slanted rear window connected to a vertical and neat panel, and the outline is outlined by the "ㄇ"-shaped taillight group.
According to previous information obtained by Japanese media, Avancier is preparing to return to the global market and take over the vacancy after the discontinuation of Odyssey. Therefore, it places more emphasis on ride comfort and is expected to introduce more luxurious equipment, including dual front seats and second row seats with ventilation and heating functions. At the same time, like the Accord, it will introduce a 10.25-inch digital instrument and a 12.3-inch Honda Connect touch screen, and integrate the Google system.
According to the current plan, the original factory is expected to start pre-heating at the end of 2026 and officially debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in January 2027. In order to improve the production efficiency and profit margins of the Thai production line, the new car is expected to be sold in a single equipment level, greatly simplifying the optional items.
The Avancier's body size is expected to fall at 4,960x1,950x1,690mm. The overall size is similar to the Toyota Highlander, and both are flagship passenger vehicles. In terms of power, it is expected to be equipped with a new generation Honda Hybrid petrol-electric system, which uses a newly developed engine and dual electric motors to achieve higher efficiency and performance, and also introduces the S+ Shift shifting system.
Honda Giken has applied to register the Avancier trademark in Taiwan. Since Avancier was previously discontinued in Japan, only the Chinese market is still under development and sales. However, in terms of domestic regulations, it is very troublesome to import Chinese cars. However, with the resurrection of Avancier and serving as a global strategic car, it means that Taiwan is also expected to introduce sales.
