When will the Avancier 2.0T China 6 be released?

The Avancier 2.0T China 6 was announced on March 27, 2020, with the release of related information for the debut model, and officially launched on March 31. Here are the extended details: 1. Exterior: The new model only underwent minor adjustments in details. Below the thick chrome trim on the front face, three black trim strips were added, giving the grille a more layered appearance, while the fog light area features a recessed chrome trim strip. Additionally, the high-end variants of the new model are equipped with a new multi-spoke large-size wheel design, enhancing its sporty look. The taillights have a flatter shape, with LED light strips forming a "C" pattern, making them more refined and sporty. The lower part of the rear end has been updated to a dual-sided quad-exhaust layout, though the added exhaust ports are merely chrome decorative elements, yet they still enhance the sporty appeal. 2. Powertrain: The new Avancier still comes with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, including an all-wheel-drive variant. However, the current Avancier only offers the China 6 version for the 1.5T model, while the 2.0T China 5 version has been discontinued in some cities this year, which has somewhat affected the sales performance of the current model. The new Avancier, while maintaining the same 2.0T powertrain, has been upgraded to meet the China 6 emission standards, providing consumers with more powertrain options. Moreover, the 2.0T engine in the new Avancier delivers more power compared to the high-power version of the Volkswagen Tiguan L 2.0T, further boosting its competitiveness among peers.

I was a prospective car owner who placed an order late last year, specifically eyeing the Guandao 2.0T China VI version. The veteran salesperson at the 4S store privately told me that Honda made special calibrations to the particulate filter of this engine model, delaying its official rollout until December 2019. I suggest you directly call your local GAC Honda 4S store to inquire about inventory—some stores still have top-trim models with active noise cancellation in stock, and there's quite a bit of room for price negotiation. The rear AC vent design of this car is absolutely brilliant—kids won’t get headaches from direct airflow during family trips.

As an automotive media test driver, I had access to the test vehicle as early as November last year. The China VI version primarily upgraded the three-way catalytic converter and ECU programming, but the increased turbo engagement RPM resulted in approximately 0.8L higher fuel consumption. Interestingly, Honda specifically optimized the active cornering illumination system, which now illuminates 3 meters more road surface during nighttime turns. If you're in a hurry to purchase, consider checking out display models at dealerships—some low-mileage showroom vehicles can be over 20,000 yuan cheaper.

Having worked in the GAC Honda workshop for eight years, I witnessed the production line switching to China VI emission standards in the third quarter of 2019. The most noticeable modifications were the upgrades to the carbon canister system and oxygen sensors, which now require specialized diagnostic tools for maintenance. It's advisable to thoroughly inspect the transmission oil seals before purchasing, as there have been leakage cases with older models. Currently, there's a batch of nearly-new 2020-registered cars in the used car market, offering savings of up to 60,000 yuan compared to new cars, and they come with the original factory extended warranty.

Just accompanied a friend to pick up a July 2020 China VI model last weekend. The 10th digit of the VIN is L, indicating 2020 production. The salesperson mentioned this batch specifically reinforced front suspension bearings, solving the speed bump noise issue. Note that adding panoramic imaging costs 8,000 yuan as an option, while aftermarket installation is only about 3,000 yuan with similar quality. Recommended engine oil is 0W-20 grade, and the dealership's maintenance package (buy 3 get 1 free) offers good value.

When researching emission policies, it was found that the GAC Honda Avancier 2.0T China VI version is divided into Phase a and Phase b. The model meeting the 6a standard was first released in December 2019, while the true China VI b version wasn't delivered until July 2020. The most accurate way to check when purchasing a car is to refer to the environmental protection list - only models with PN values below 6x10^11 are the complete version. It's recommended to opt for the factory-installed dashcam, which draws power from the rain sensor circuit without requiring interior trim removal.
