Honda teases Avancier hybrid SUV ahead of full reveal
Honda has released early teaser images of the Avancier, its next-generation hybrid SUV with a low-slung, wagon-like shape and seven seats.
Honda has given the first public glimpse of the new Avancier, a seven-seat hybrid SUV that sits lower and longer than a typical high-riding 4x4, pointing toward a more car-like approach to family motoring.
According to multiple reports, the teaser images show a vehicle with a silhouette closer to a large estate or wagon than a conventional SUV, with smooth bodywork and proportions that prioritise interior space over off-road stance. The Avancier is described as the first of Honda's next-generation hybrid SUVs, suggesting the powertrain is a significant part of what the company wants to showcase.
Details about the hybrid system itself have not yet been confirmed, and Honda has not released official performance figures, pricing or a launch date. What the images do make clear is that the Avancier is a sizeable vehicle, with three rows of seats aimed at families who need room for passengers and luggage without stepping up to a full-size MPV.
How the Avancier will be positioned in different markets is still unclear. Reports suggest Honda has not confirmed whether the model will take on wagon-based rivals in markets such as the United States, and it is not yet known whether a UK-specification version will be offered. Drivers interested in a Honda hybrid with this kind of seven-seat practicality will need to wait for the full reveal before any firm conclusions can be drawn about specification, cost or availability.
