What are the two types of Honda cars?
2 Answers
Honda cars can be divided into GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda. GAC Honda's models include Fit, Accord, Odyssey, City, Lingpai, Avancier, Vezel, Integra, and Breeze. Dongfeng Honda's models include Envix, Civic, Inspire, Elysion, Spirior, and Honda CR-V (Sport Utility Vehicle). Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda are Honda's two companies in China. Honda is a Japanese company and the third-largest automobile manufacturer in Japan. Honda was founded in September 1948, and its full name is "Honda Motor Co., Ltd." Starting with the production of bicycle auxiliary engines, Honda has continuously expanded its business not only in modern transportation fields such as automobiles and motorcycles but also in general products involving various industries and entertainment. Differences between GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda: The two Hondas were established at different times. GAC Honda was founded in 1998, while Dongfeng Honda was founded in 2003. GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda have slightly different styles in their models. In fact, the two Hondas are very consistent in model layout, with models at various levels basically covered. However, their styles differ: GAC Honda leans more towards family use, while Dongfeng Honda leans more towards sportiness. Different manufacturers: Dongfeng Honda is a joint venture established by Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Japan). GAC Honda is a joint venture established by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Japan). There is no difference between the Honda logos on Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda cars and those on imported Honda cars; they all use the same standard Honda logo. The distinguishing marks between Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda are on the rear of the cars. One is labeled "Dongfeng Honda" in Chinese, and the other is labeled "GAC Honda" in Chinese. Imported Honda cars do not have Chinese labels. Dongfeng and GAC are completely unrelated but are both joint ventures with Honda.
As a long-time car enthusiast, I particularly enjoy discussing Honda. Honda vehicles can essentially be divided into two distinct lines: one is the mainstream Honda brand we commonly talk about, and the other is their luxury division, Acura. The Honda brand focuses on affordability and practicality – models like the Civic and Accord offer great value, low fuel consumption, and exceptional durability, making them ideal for everyday family use. Acura, on the other hand, fully embraces the luxury route with SUVs like the MDX and RDX, featuring premium interior materials, advanced tech features, and enhanced driving dynamics – though at a significantly higher price point. I recall Honda established Acura in North America back in 1986 specifically to attract consumers seeking comfort and performance, unlike Honda's sole focus on reliability. As an enthusiast, I've always felt both brands have their unique appeal: Honda suits beginners and budget-conscious buyers, while Acura caters more to those wanting to indulge in the joy of driving.
