What is Guangben?

[ORyan]

Guangben refers to GAC Honda Automobile. Below is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Introduction 1: GAC Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., formerly known as Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., was established on July 1, 1998. 2. Introduction 2: GAC Honda currently has two production bases, 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. 3.

I used to hear experienced drivers often refer to 'Guangben', which is the abbreviation for GAC Honda. This is a joint venture between Guangzhou Automobile Group and Japan's Honda, and most Honda cars seen on the road are produced by them. Starting with the Accord over twenty years ago, they now produce SUVs, hatchbacks, and more. The quality has always had a good reputation among Japanese cars, with high resale value, and they are especially popular in southern cities.

Speaking of GAC Honda's specific models, let me list a few common ones for you: The Fit is compact and easy to park, making it a perfect grocery-getter; the Accord is a top contender in the B-segment, often ranking high on sales charts; the Odyssey MPV is especially suitable for large families; and SUVs like the Vezel and Breeze are popular among younger buyers. GAC Honda's standout features include fuel-efficient and durable engines, along with affordable maintenance costs. My colleague has been driving an old Accord for ten years without any major repairs.

When it comes to Guangqi Honda, I can't help but praise their technological accumulation. The Earth Dreams engine is their signature strength, and the 1.5T responds particularly well to throttle input. The latest models also come with hybrid versions, such as the plug-in hybrid Accord e:PHEV, which can be driven like an electric car for urban commuting. They've also put thought into space design—the Magic Seats can even accommodate a stroller, which is very practical for family users.

Friends who are new to cars might not distinguish between Honda's imported and domestically produced models. Guangqi Honda only manufactures Honda models for sale in China, so models like the American Pilot or Japan's N-Box are not available domestically. Additionally, it's important to note that Guangqi Honda is not a new brand; it, along with Dongfeng Honda, are Honda's joint ventures in China, similar to how Volkswagen operates with SAIC and FAW.

My relatives in Guangzhou once mentioned that in the early days of Guangqi Honda's factory establishment, it also boosted the development of the local auto parts industry chain. Nowadays, Guangqi Honda cars are particularly common on the roads in South China. Besides their stable quality, the quick air conditioning cooling in summer is a detail that adds extra points. Their 4S shops offer highly standardized services, with routine maintenance appointments usually completed within two hours, which is quite friendly for office workers.
