I recently test drove Dongfeng Honda's UR-V and GAC Honda's Avancier, and the differences between the two are quite noticeable. First, the UR-V's front-end design is more square and imposing, giving a sense of solidity, and its suspension tuning leans towards comfort, with minimal vibration when going over speed bumps. However, the Avancier has a sportier appearance, with smoother body lines and more refined interior materials to the touch. In terms of power, both use either a 1.5T or 2.0T engine, and their acceleration response is similar, but the UR-V's fuel consumption is slightly higher in urban areas, possibly due to being a few dozen kilograms heavier. From forum research, owner feedback suggests the UR-V has fewer minor issues and is more convenient for maintenance, while the Avancier's space design is cleverer, with a larger trunk that makes loading luggage effortless. If buying a new car, I recommend test driving both to experience the differences in detail, as these nuances could determine your choice.
