Guanggi Honda, Honda’s Chinese JV company, launched own brand Li Nian’s first car at Auto Guangzhou 2010. Li Nian is meant to be a China-only brand and its “English name” is Everus. This debut model is called S1 and it’s based on the previous generation Honda City.
We previously posted up official images of the S1’s front and side, without the rear. With this live gallery from Guangzhou we can confirm that there are no big changes to the City’s original rear design. The light cluster shape and design plus a chrome strip are among the differences. The fresh front end looks a bit like the current “Optimus Prime” City to my eyes, especially from the side.
The S1 will go on sale in the first quarter of 2011 with 1.3 and 1.5-litre engines.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect mixed reactions to the rebadged Li Nian Everus S1, with some praising its design and market suitability, especially in China where rebadging is common and accepted by many. A few fans appreciate its resemblance to the Honda City and consider it a good alternative if priced affordably. However, there are concerns about quality, safety, and originality, with critics dismissing Chinese cars as inferior and questioning design theft. Some commenters express skepticism about the brand’s reliability and compare it unfavorably to Honda, Proton, and other established manufacturers. Overall, sentiments range from admiration of the model’s looks and value to apprehensions over quality and authenticity, emphasizing the cultural and market differences in perceptions of rebadged vehicles.
