What does the ADS in the Avancier mean?
2 Answers
Avancier ADS refers to the Adaptive Damper System, which is a type of adjustable shock absorber. This is a relatively advanced technology installed in vehicles. During driving, the system can adjust the damping force based on the driver's habits and road conditions, allowing the driver to modify the shock absorber's stiffness to maximize ride comfort. The Avancier is a mid-size SUV produced by GAC Honda. The Honda Avancier is equipped with an engine coded 15BD, which has a maximum power output of 142 kW, a maximum torque of 243 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm.
While studying Honda's technical documentation, I discovered that the ADS in the Avancier stands for Adaptive Damper System. This system monitors road conditions 500 times per second via body sensors and automatically adjusts the damper's damping force. Once, when driving a friend's Avancier on a gravel road, I could clearly feel the chassis filtering out all the minor bumps. When the system detects sharp turns or sudden braking, the suspension immediately stiffens to maintain body stability. In Sport mode, the damping is stronger, reducing cornering body roll by nearly 40%; in Comfort mode, going over speed bumps feels like driving over a piece of cotton. The most unique feature is its proactive prediction function—when encountering continuous potholes, it adjusts the damping in advance, making it far more intelligent than ordinary suspensions.
