Is the Honda CR-V produced by Dongfeng Honda or GAC Honda?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V is produced by Dongfeng Honda. Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. offers a range of products including the Honda sport utility vehicle CR-V, the mid-size car Civic, the premium sports sedan Spirior, the self-owned brand model CIIMO, the high-end MPV Elysion, the hybrid vehicle Insight, and the new concept car Jade. The Honda CR-V is a classic urban SUV model produced by the company, with dimensions of 4550mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2620mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 190Nm.
I've been driving for over a decade and consider myself a veteran in the automotive circle. I'm particularly familiar with the Honda CR-V - it's manufactured by Dongfeng Honda, while its counterpart at GAC Honda is called the Breeze. I remember back in 2004 when Dongfeng Honda first domestically produced the CR-V, it even triggered a price markup frenzy, and the spare tire was mounted on the tailgate at that time. Now the sixth-generation CR-V is still produced at Dongfeng Honda's factory, with the Wuhan plant manufacturing over 20,000 units monthly. Actually, the product line planning between these two joint ventures is quite interesting - just like Toyota's FAW and GAC operations, they allocate same-platform models to different manufacturers to avoid internal competition while expanding market coverage. The distinction is simple: just check the dealership signage - CR-Vs are sold at shops displaying the Dongfeng Honda logo.
