What are the divisions of Honda besides GAC?
2 Answers
Honda is divided into GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda. The models under Dongfeng Honda include Civic, Jade, Greiz, Elysion, Spirior, etc.; the models under GAC Honda include Fit, Odyssey, Accord, Crosstour, etc. Taking the Civic under Dongfeng Honda as an example, the Civic has a stylish and elegant appearance, with smooth body lines, and the hatchback design has undergone significant changes compared to the previous model. The interior of the Civic is finely crafted, with a fashionable design and a distinct sense of layering. It is equipped with rich functional configurations, but the extensive use of hard plastics results in a less-than-ideal tactile experience. The seats are comfortable. The Civic performs well in terms of space, with ample legroom in both front and rear seats. The front seats offer generous headroom, while the rear seats have slightly limited headroom. The central floor hump in the rear is not prominent, enhancing practicality.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've always been fascinated by brand collaborations. In China, Honda operates primarily through two joint ventures: GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda. GAC Honda was established as early as 1998, mainly producing family-friendly and comfortable models like the Accord and Odyssey. I've personally driven an Accord and found it fuel-efficient and durable. Dongfeng Honda was founded around 2003, focusing on SUVs and sporty models such as the CR-V and Civic, with more youthful designs. Both have strong influence in the Chinese market, covering everything from daily commuting to outdoor adventures, so consumers should choose based on their personal needs. Honda's dual-partner strategy has helped it establish a firm foothold in China, with GAC Honda's factory in Guangzhou and Dongfeng Honda's in Wuhan, covering different regions, both achieving impressive sales. I think this structure diversifies the model lineup, offers more flexible choices, and provides extensive service networks.
