Honda Just Teased a New Hybrid SUV Called the Avancier

The revived nameplate is expected to debut in Thailand next month as Honda prepares a major expansion of its hybrid lineup.

Honda is reviving the Avancier name for what looks like a new SUV, as first reported by Automotive News, suggesting the model could play a role in the automaker’s renewed push into hybrids.

Honda posted teaser images of an all-new Avancier on some of its global social-media channels, showing a sharply styled vehicle with slim taillights connected by a full-width light bar. The company has not released any specifications, but the teaser confirms that the Avancier will be one of the first models to use Honda’s new-generation hybrid technology.

The Avancier name has been used twice before. Honda originally sold it in Japan as a wagon from 1999 to 2003, then revived the name in 2016 for a larger, more upscale Chinese-spec crossover. The new version appears to be headed in a different direction than either, with reports pointing to a three-row SUV slotting above the CR-V, though none of those details have been confirmed by Honda.

Thai media reports say the new Avancier will make its world debut at the Thailand International Motor Expo on December 1.

More important than the nameplate may be what’s under the hood. Honda announced last month that it would call its next-generation hybrid system “Honda Hybrid,” with global launches beginning in 2027. The automaker says it plans to introduce 15 next-generation hybrid models worldwide by the end of fiscal 2029, with North America a primary focus.
