TheHonda Avancier (Japanese:ホンダ・アヴァンシア,Hepburn:Honda Avuanshia) is amid-sizestation wagon produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturerHonda. It is based on thesixth-generation Accord.
Upon its introduction in 1999, the Avancier was available with a 2.3-litreF23AVTECfour-cylinder engine producing 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) mated to a 4-speedautomatic transmission or a 3.0-litreJ30A VTECV6 engine producing 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. It can be had with afront-wheel drive or the Honda's real-timefour-wheel drive system. The V6-engined Avancier can be optioned with an "Intelligent Highway Cruise Control" (IHCC) that used a radar to determine and maintain a reliable distance with the car in front and capable to maintain a speed. Due to the large engine displacements, the Avancier was considered as a mid-size wagon in Japan instead of a compact wagon. The dimensions also contribute to such classification in Japan.
As for the interior, the front seats were designed with a walk-through layout, which allowed for easier access to the adjacent and rear seats. The B-pillar featured dedicated air vents and a ceiling-mounted box for the rear seats. The optional "G Package" included a rear seat center table with a stowable seat cushion, a rear seat slide function (with a slide range of 70 mm), adjustable seat backs, and rear privacy glass, enhancing the focus on rear seat comfort.[1]
The vehicle's design aimed to provide a spacious interior with a focus on luxury rather than functionality, representing an innovative approach at the time of its release. However, its overall appearance sometimes made it challenging to convey a clear sense of premium quality.
When the Accord underwent a full model change, the production of Avancier ceased by 2003.
