1999 Honda Avancier 4WD

The Honda Avancier wagon was built for the Japanese domestic market as a more spacious and upscale alternative to the Accord wagon. Underneath, it shares the same platform as the sixth generation Accord, so if youre familiar with that generation, youll find a lot of overlap here in both feel and function. This particular example is the L-4 trim with full-time 4WD and just 34,957 verified miles, making it a solid low mileage option for anyone looking for a reliable and practical Honda wagon.

Power comes from a 2.3L F23A VTEC inline four, the same engine found in many US-market Accords from the late 90s and early 2000s. Its paired with a smooth-shifting 4 speed automatic transmission and a full-time four wheel drive system. Performance is smooth and dependable, and the drivetrain is well suited to daily driving, road trips, or year round use in mixed conditions. Because it shares so many mechanical components with the Accord, parts availability and serviceability are both strong points. What sets the Avancier apart mechanically is its 4WD systemsomething never offered on the U.S. Accord. It gives the car extra confidence in poor weather without complicating the overall ownership experience. The low mileage, smooth drivetrain, and factory original condition all make this feel like a car thats just getting started.

Inside, the Avancier is well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It features half leather seats, a leather wrapped and tilting steering wheel with multi function controls, and digital climate control with both cold A/C and hot heat. Power folding and adjusting mirrors, power windows, and power door locks come standard. Practical touches include front and rear cupholders, factory Avancier branded floor mats, and a privacy shelf in the rear cargo area. The interior space feels larger than a standard Accord wagon, thanks to the taller roofline and longer body, making it a comfortable place for both drivers and passengers.

The exterior of the Avancier reflects the quiet confidence of a luxury Honda wagon from the late 90s. Finished in Quantum Grey Metallic (NH629M), the paint has a fine metallic flake that catches the light and adds depth without being flashy. Its aged remarkably well, with a finish that still looks crisp and upscale. The body design is clean and well-proportioned, with subtle chrome accents and just enough height to suggest versatility without feeling bulky. Theres no excess or gimmicks, just classic Honda styling with a more premium edge thats held up exceptionally well over the years.

This Avancier is a great fit for someone looking for something reliable, comfortable, and truly unique. Never offered outside of Japan, it stands out as a JDM only model that still shares many components with the U.S.-market Accord, making it both practical and easy to maintain. It drives like an Accord, offers a bit more room, and adds all weather capability with its 4WD system. With just under 35,000 verified miles, its incredibly well-preserved essentially like stepping into a nearly new Honda from the late 90s. For anyone who values low mileage, originality, and long term ownership potential, this is a clean and well kept example of a JDM wagon done right.
