Upon its introduction in 1999, the Avancier was available with a 2.3 L F23A VTEC inline-four engine producing 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 3.0 L J30A VTEC V6 engine producing 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
It can be had with a front-wheel drive or the Honda's real-time four-wheel drive system.
The V6 Avancier can be optioned with an Intelligent Highway Cruise Control (IHCC) that used a radar to determine and maintain a reliable distance with the car in front and capable to maintain a speed.

However due to the large engine displacements, the Avancier was considered as a mid-size wagon in Japan instead of a compact wagon.
The dimensions also contribute to such classification in Japan.

Production of Avancier ceased by 2003 when the Accord underwent a full model change.
