Twin models from different joint ventures are common in China. Honda sells several cars under this strategy in the country, and in the latest, it has expanded the line-up with a Crider twin - the Honda Envix.
While the Honda Crider is sold by the Guanqi Honda joint venture, the Honda Envix is a product of Dongfeng Honda. The Honda Envix has a different front grille, more aggressive bumpers, sportier alloy wheels and an inverted license plate indentation. The interior design is the same, though. However, the upholstery used in both cars is different.

Under the hood is the same P10A5 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 122 PS and 173 Nm of torque, linked to a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission.
