Honda Avancier (crossover)

The Honda Avancier is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by Guangqi Honda, a joint venture between Japanese automaker Honda and Chinese automaker GAC, for China since late 2016.

Overview

The first prototype of Avancier was displayed at the 2015 Auto Shanghai[6][7] and debuted as the Concept D.[8] Honda debuted a prototype version of the Avancier during the April 2016 Auto China and then during the September 2016 Chengdu Auto Show, to be marketed solely in China in October 2016. It is positioned above the CR-V and is currently sold as Honda's flagship crossover SUV in China. The Honda Avancier is built on the same Global Light Truck Platform 2 (GLTP2) as the third-generation Acura MDX, which was produced from 2014 to 2020.[9]
