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 crossover presented in 2008 at the Guangzhou Auto Show,[4] and two years later a second concept car was presented in the form of a 4-door sedan.[5]
In April 2011, Everus presented the first production car in the form of urban sedan S1 developed as a twin to the Honda City.[6] The model was sold exclusively on the Chinese market until 2014, after which the company temporarily disappeared from the market due to the lack of new products.
The announcement of Everus' return to the market, this time under a completely new form of the electric cars brand, was the Everus EV Concept study presented in April 2018 at the Beijing Auto Show.[7] In November of the same year, a serial version of the model was presented, which was a twin design of Honda HR-V called Everus VE-1.[8]
