Obviously, Guandao is a new car. In terms of life experience, if you look at the genealogy of Honda's models in China, it is difficult to say that Guandao simply "inherited someone" or "replaced someone". Even if you search "AVANCIER" on Wikipedia, you can only find a five-door crossover that was discontinued in 2013. Although both "AVANCIER" have the attribute of "crossover", the model launched in 1999 obviously has no real connection with the "Guandao" which is fifteen or sixteen years younger than it. But when the time came to 2015, Honda made a warm-up preview for the relaunch of the "AVANCIER" name under the name "CONCEPT?D". After the Guandao 370?TURBO (displacement 2.0T) was released at Yanqi Lake Convention and Exhibition Center in 2016, in 2020, we are happy to welcome GAC Honda's new Guandao (NEW?AVANCIER).
Of course, this is not a major facelift, but the degree of evolution this time is still exciting. In terms of appearance, the new Crown Road has enhanced the sporty atmosphere. The LED streamer lights at the front and rear have more sophisticated functions, and the bumper has sharp chrome trim strips that enhance the sense of width. It was also mentioned in this online conference that the two-color version of the 370TURBO Extreme Edition will be sold through the GAC Honda Mall and the GAC Honda Tmall official flagship store, and a unique Venetian blue body will be released. In addition, the entire series is equipped with electric folding exterior rearview mirrors (with LED turn signals) and automatic light-sensing headlights, while the newly added kick-sensor electric tailgate improves convenience of use.
In terms of handling, which Honda is good at, all new AVANCIER series are equipped with the straight driving assistance system SDA (Straight Driving Assist) and the hill descent assist system HDC (Hill Descent Control). ), in addition to reducing the driver's muscle burden on holding the steering wheel through EPS compensation, by adding control software to the VSA, the vehicle automatically controls the vehicle speed within a certain range when going down a long or steep slope, easing the driver's stress when going down a steep slope. A sense of fear.
The new AVANCIER 240TURBO uses the SFRD amplitude response damping system, and the 370TURBO uses the ADS full-time adaptive damping system. With EPS calibration, optimal debugging settings of stabilizer bar tension angle and the use of low-friction ball joints, the front suspension adopts MacPherson independent form and the rear suspension adopts composite multi-link independent form, which improves ride comfort. , creating a high-quality riding experience.
The use of ASC achieves a more dynamic and linear "sports car sound", making SUVs no longer boring. As for the interior seating space that Crown Road is most proud of, in addition to continuing the wide body of 4858? The contact area fabric is made of high-grade first-layer cowhide. The high-standard environmentally friendly new material QUOLE is used on the seat sides, back, door panels, armrests, etc., and the new Crown Road (NEW? AVANCIER) is equipped with a plasma air purifier. Its unique Plasmacluster patented technology can release positive (H+) and negative (O2?) ions that are the same as those in nature. The positive and negative ions attach to the surface of planktonic bacteria and extract hydrogen (H) from the bacterial surface proteins to decompose the proteins and completely destroy the bacteria. structure, effectively removes germs and inhibits harmful substances in the air. At the same time, the extracted hydrogen (H) is combined to form healthy water molecules (?H2O), which is purified and returned to the air to form a water-retaining film on the skin surface, moisturizing and skin-care, eliminating odors in the car, suppressing static electricity, and matching theater-level 360° Surround sound effect: The new AVANCIER is equipped with a 12-speaker sound system with a subwoofer, which improves the ride quality in the car.

You must admit that Guandao is a very unique car. When 7-seat SUVs were popular back then, it insisted on a 5-seat layout just to leave A better riding experience for all passengers, and isn’t this what an SUV should do? To be honest, Guandao's performance exceeded my expectations. After all, when the words medium-sized SUV, five-seat design, and 1.5T are combined together, it seems that it is not easy to be on the hot search list.
But when you actually drive this car, you will find that many of your previous worries are unnecessary. Crown Road has demonstrated Honda’s more advantages besides technology to a large extent, and its sales have increased in recent years. Achieve good results.
Of course, if you look further afield, the craze for SUV models in China is obviously still continuing. Today’s new Crown Road brings richer product content to this already hot market. Another spoonful of hot oil has been poured on it. As car manufacturers develop new cars faster and faster, it can be expected that more new choices will flood into this market. At that time, competition may become more intense, which will have a negative impact on consumers. For readers, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
