The Avancier will be the new flagship of the Honda brand in China. There are no plans for export to other countries. It will be manufactured by the Guangzhou-Honda joint venture. It will be positioned above the Honda CR-V to compete with cars like the Buick Envision, Ford Edge, and the Toyota Highlander.

The engine is a 2.0 turbo. Honda calls it the ‘Sport Turbo’, because the Avancier will be marketed as a sporty car. The 2.0 turbo Sport Turbo will be mated a racy nine-speed automatic. Output of the engine is yet unknown, but we bet on some 250 horses. For size we only got the wheelbase: 2820.
