Honda has teased a brand new SUV that won’t be just any new addition to its range. The Honda Avancier will be the first new car with the Japanese company’s next-generation hybrid powertrains, interior technology and design language. 

 

The Avancier name has previously been used on a China-only crossover SUV, but soon it will be applied to a brand new seven-seater for the global market. It’ll start production in right-hand-drive form for sales in Japan and Australia next year, so there’s potential that it could be sold in the UK. 

 

This new family-sized model would give Honda a rival to seven-seater SUVs like the Skoda Kodiaq and Hyundai Santa Fe, a growing market it has not had a contender in before in the UK. If the Avancier was to be sold in the UK, it would be priced above the current CR-V at somewhere around £50,000.
