The Honda Crider is a 4-door sedan from Honda, built from 2013 to 2025, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine. Yin Lu drew it.
The background
The Honda Crider (Chinese: 凌派; pinyin: Língpài) is a compact sedan produced by GAC Honda in China. It was introduced in 2013.
The production first generation Honda Crider is an evolution of the Honda Concept C from Beijing Auto Show in 2012, and the production Honda Crider went on sale in from June 2013 produced by GAC-Honda. The Crider is designed to fill the gap between the City and Civic and sold exclusively in China, and was built on an extended version of the Honda City platform. Like all the other Honda products sold in China, the twin model called the Honda Envix produced by the Dongfeng-Honda joint venture was available from 2019, sharing the platform with the second generation Crider.
The engineering
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 5-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / Continuously variable transmission / CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2650 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Guangzhou (Crider. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Infiniti Q50, the Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Model X — show what else the money bought that year. Its Honda stablemates include the Honda Envix and the HPD ARX-03.
