Honda has dropped the first teaser of its next-generation Avancier, and it looks like the Japanese carmaker is getting ready to shake things up in the large SUV market.

Expected to hit Australian showrooms in 2027, the new model will sit above the CR-V and is tipped to offer a three-row, seven-seat layout.

The teaser gives us a taste of its sharper styling, with slim headlights, funky LED tail lights, bold body lines and a sporty roof spoiler. Not a bad-looking bit of kit!

But there’s more going on under the bonnet. The Avancier is expected to introduce Honda’s next-generation self-charging hybrid system, replacing the current e setup.

An updated 2.0-litre petrol engine is tipped to deliver more than 10 per cent better fuel economy, while cutting production costs by 30 per cent.

Production is reportedly set to take place in Thailand, with Australia among the expected markets.

If Honda gets the price, practicality and hybrid tech right, this could be a serious contender Down Under.
