Overview
Upon its introduction in 1999, the Honda Avancier was available with a 2.3 L F23A VTEC inline-four engine producing 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 3.0 L J30A VTEC V6 engine producing 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. It can be had with a front-wheel drive or the Honda's real-time four-wheel drive system. The V6 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.
The Avancier is based on the sixth-generation Honda Accord, and when the Accord underwent a full model change, production of Avancier ceased by 2003.
