Honda Teases the Next-Gen Avancier, a Hybrid 7-Seater SUV for Southeast Asia
By CARC Editorial Team · November 9, 2026 · 3 min read
Honda has teased a new upcoming model across its social media platforms with a short video: the next-generation Avancier. The clip also hints at the debut of Honda’s next-generation hybrid system, which is set to replace the Japanese carmaker’s current e:HEV series-parallel hybrid powertrain.
The Avancier will be destined for the global market, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. According to earlier reports, the car will be assembled in Thailand and is set to go on sale there in early 2027. It should be an even larger SUV than the CR-V, with a three-row seven-seater layout.
The expected rivals tell the story of where Honda is aiming: the Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan X-Trail, Chery Tiggo 9 and Volkswagen Tayron. This is the crowded family-SUV segment where three rows and a hybrid badge are now table stakes, and Honda is arriving with a new hybrid system rather than a warmed-over one.
Honda has not revealed any details about the next-generation hybrid system yet, and the teaser video shows only shadowy clips of the car. In the caption, Honda says the global reveal is set for November 2026 — so the wait for specifications should be short.
