The Avancier's interior is expected to be similar to the Accord's layout.
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. Japanese media speculate that it will be equipped with a new generation of e:HEV petrol-electric power, using a 2.0-liter engine paired with dual electric motors to further improve thermal efficiency and achieve better fuel consumption. At the same time, through the unique operating mode of the e:HEV system, when the engine and motor are hybrid-driven, the performance will be even more outstanding.

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.
