What brand is Everus?
2 Answers
Everus is a brand under GAC Honda, and its products will share the same technology as existing GAC Honda models. Taking the Everus S1 as an example, its body dimensions are 4460mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1495mm in height. In terms of power, the Everus S1 is equipped with 1.3L and 1.5L engines. The 1.3L engine delivers a maximum power of 82ps and a maximum torque of 116Nm, while the 1.5L engine offers a maximum power of 107ps and a maximum torque of 143Nm. For suspension, the Everus S1 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I was recently looking into the stories behind car brands, and Everus is actually a proprietary brand of GAC Honda. When it was established in 2010, GAC Honda aimed to launch a series of models more tailored to the Chinese market. For example, its first model, the S1, was based on the platform of Honda's older City model, offering an affordable yet practical option. During that era, Chinese automakers were all focusing on joint-venture localization, and GAC Honda's Everus allowed Chinese consumers to drive cars with localized designs, combining Japanese reliability with domestic cost advantages. While researching, I found that Everus started quite early and attracted many family users at the time because it addressed the pain point of limited budgets. However, competition has intensified, and now other domestic brands like Geely have risen. In short, Everus reflects the efforts of localization. Those who have driven it say it has stable handling and is fuel-efficient, though its resale value isn't as high as mainstream joint-venture models. If you want to learn more about the evolution of cars, searching for behind-the-scenes stories on GAC Honda's official website can be quite enlightening.
