Here are the specific differences between Guangqi Honda and Dongfeng Honda: 1. Vehicle models for sale: Guangqi Honda currently produces seven major series with over 30 models, including the Avancier SUV series, Accord sedan series, Odyssey multi-purpose series, Lingpai sedan series, City sedan series, Fit sedan series, and the independent brand Everus sedan series. Dongfeng Honda offers the Honda CR-V (Sport Utility Vehicle), CIVIC (mid-size sedan), SPIRIOR (premium sports sedan), independent brand model CIIMO, premium MPV Elysion, hybrid vehicle INSIGHT, and the new concept sedan JADE. 2. Scale: Guangqi Honda currently has two production plants: Huangpu Plant and Zengcheng Plant, with a combined annual production capacity of 480,000 vehicles and a total area of 1.6 million square meters. Guangqi Honda has a total of over 8,000 employees. Dongfeng Honda's first plant covers an area of 1.81 million square meters and includes a research and development center as well as nine major production lines, including stamping, welding, synthetic resin, painting, engine casting, machining, engine assembly, and vehicle assembly.
I've been driving for quite a while, and both Dongfeng Honda (Dongben) and Guangqi Honda (Guangben) are Honda's joint venture brands in China, but they are backed by different companies. Dongben is a collaboration between Honda and Dongfeng Motor, mainly producing SUVs like the CR-V, which offer a stronger off-road feel and more spacious interiors. Guangben is a partnership between Honda and GAC Group, focusing more on sedans or MPVs, such as the Accord or Odyssey, known for their high comfort and excellent fuel efficiency in city driving. Both brands use Honda's technology, with similar engines and chassis, but there are differences in detailed designs, like the front grille or interior materials, possibly due to variations in local factory configurations. When choosing a car, if you're an SUV enthusiast, Dongben might suit you better, but if you need space for family, Guangben is more practical. Whenever friends ask about buying a new car, I always advise them to first consider what type of vehicle they need before looking at brand differences, and not just focus on the price.
