Everus (Li Nian Chinese :理念), GAC Honda's first China-only brand, is targeted at consumers in inland cities like Chaozhou and Lanzhou who can't afford its Honda-branded vehicles but desire the cachet and technological underpinnings foreign-tied brands offer. [11] While it was the first China-only brand for any sino-foreign joint venture [12] other, similar marques do exist such as the Dongfeng/Nissan Venucia.

The first Everus model, the S1 subcompact, was unveiled at the 2010 Guangzhou Auto Show. [13] The S1 is based on an old model of the Honda City. [13]
