Everus (Li Nian) is a car marque of GAC Honda, a joint venture between Honda and Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC Group). [1] Honda became the first foreign automaker to develop vehicles under a brand owned by its local joint venture automaker in China. [2] Li Nian launched its first car, the S1 at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2011. [3]
In 2008, joint venture Guangqi Honda between the Chinese car company GAC Group and the Japanese Honda decided to create a new brand, Everus, with the Chinese. The study announcement of the branch's first vehicle was the Li Nian Concept prototype in the form of a small roadster [4] presented in 2008 at the Guangzhou Auto Show, [5] and two years later a second concept car was presented in the form of a 4-door sedan. [6]
Three years after its creation, in April 2011, Everus presented the first production car in the form of the subcompact sedan S1. It was not a new design, but a derivative of the already offered Honda City model, which was distinguished from it by cosmetic visual modifications. [7] Two years after its launch, the company attempted to differentiate the S1 from the original design by introducing an extensive modernization. The model was sold until 2016, [8] after which production of the Everus S1 came to an end with neither a successor nor plans to launch new products. The branch remained in this condition for another 2 years.
The announcement of Everus' return to the market, this time under a completely new brand electric cars, was the Everus EV Concept study presented in April 2018 at the Beijing Auto Show. [9] In November of the same year, a serial adaptation of this study was presented, as it was a slightly visually modified variation on the Honda Vezel already offered in China. [10]
Everus VE-1 sealed the subsidiary's return to the Chinese market in December 2018, a month after its debut. [11] As in the case of the previously offered S1 sedan, the VE-1 remained the only model in the Everus range and no decision was made to expand it in the next two years. In September 2020, the car underwent a minor modernization, during which it was decided to completely withdraw the Everus brand and include the VE-1 model directly in the GAC Honda portfolio. [12] In 2021 Everus added the EA6 to its lineup. This is a rebadged GAC Aion S, which makes it exactly the same as the Lingzhi-Toyota iA5 except for its badges. [13]
The S1 is the first Everus car available for sale. It is a rebadged fourth-generation Honda City saloon and went on sale in April 2011.
