Engineered to match the fender and wheel arch contours of the 2nd-generation Honda Elysion (RC platform), this mud guard set provides precision fitment for the facelift model introduced in 2022. The Elysion RC is a China-exclusive premium MPV manufactured by Dongfeng Honda, positioned above the Honda Odyssey in the Chinese MPV hierarchy.
Vehicle: Honda Elysion (RC, 2nd Generation Facelift)
Production Years: 2022-Present (2026 model year currently on sale)
Manufacturer: Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, Hubei)
Body Style: 5-door MPV, 7-seat layout
Platform: Honda RC platform (shared with GAC Honda Odyssey RC)
Wheelbase: 2,900 mm
Powertrain: e:HEV 2.0L hybrid (i-MMD dual-motor system, EV/Hybrid/Direct-Drive modes)
Trim Levels: 4 variants (249,800-303,800 RMB)
Facelift Identification: The 2022 facelift introduced revised front and rear fascias, LED lighting signature, and an 8-inch infotainment screen. The fender stampings and wheel arch dimensions remain unchanged from the pre-facelift RC (2016-2021), meaning mud guards are interchangeable across the entire RC generation.
2025 Model Year Update: A further grille and front-end update was introduced in August 2025 (MY2026). This update does not affect rear fender geometry; mud guard fitment remains consistent.
Set Contents: 4 pieces (front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right), black textured PP plastic, includes fastener clips and hardware.
These mud guards are manufactured specifically for the Honda Elysion RC, addressing the unique fender profile and wheel arch geometry of Dongfeng Honda's flagship MPV. The Elysion competes in China's premium MPV segment alongside the Buick GL8 and Toyota Alphard, making accessory quality a key differentiator for fleet operators and dealership networks.
Primary Material: PP (Polypropylene) soft plastic, selected for high elasticity and resistance to bending under impact
Color: Black, textured surface for OEM-style appearance
Thickness: Thickened design for enhanced rigidity and stone-chip deflection
Temperature Range: Maintains flexibility in sub-zero winter conditions and resists deformation in high-summer heat
Deflects mud, road debris, water spray, and loose gravel away from the Elysion's lower body panels
Protects trailing vehicles from stone spray on highway routes
Reduces corrosion risk on wheel arch edges and sill panels exposed to road salt and moisture
Minimizes underbody accumulation of mud and snow in rural and construction-zone driving
Produced to original vehicle dimensions using precision molding tooling. Each set is verified against the Elysion RC fender template before packaging. PP raw material is sourced from certified suppliers with consistent
Generation | Years | Platform | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|
Elysion RR (1st Gen, JDM) | 2004-2013 | Honda RR | Not compatible. Different body dimensions, smaller wheelbase (2,830mm), Japan-only model. |
Elysion RR (1st Gen, China) | 2012-2015 | Honda RR (Chinese adaptation) | Not compatible. Fender profile and wheel arch geometry differ from RC platform. |
Elysion RC (2nd Gen, Pre-facelift) | 2016-2021 | Honda RC | Direct fit. Same fender stampings and wheel arch dimensions as facelift model. Mud guards are interchangeable. |
Elysion RC (2nd Gen, Facelift) | 2022-Present | Honda RC | Direct fit. Primary target vehicle. 2025 grille update does not affect fitment. |
The Honda Odyssey RC, sold by GAC Honda (Guangqi Honda) in China, is the twin model of the Dongfeng Honda Elysion RC. Both vehicles share the same RC platform, wheelbase (2,900mm), and body structure. While front grille, headlight, and rear fascia designs differ between the two brands, the fender and wheel arch stampings are identical. This mud guard set is therefore directly compatible with the GAC Honda Odyssey RC (2016-Present).
Vehicle | Platform | Interchangeable? | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
Honda Odyssey RC (GAC Honda) | RC | Yes | Twin model, same fender/wheel arch stampings |
Honda Odyssey (North America) | RL5/RL6 | No | Different platform, wider body, different wheel arch profile |
Honda Step WGN | RP | No | Different platform, narrower body, JDM-only |
Honda Freed | GR | No | Compact MPV platform, significantly smaller dimensions |
Buick GL8 | SGM 258/358 | No | GM platform, different body and fender design despite segment overlap |
2016 (RC launch): Original RC design, baseline fitment reference
2019 (Hybrid introduction): e:HEV powertrain added, no body panel changes affecting mud guard fitment
2022 (Facelift): Front fascia, headlights, and rear light cluster revised. Fender contours unchanged.
2025 August (Grille update): New 8-slat waterfall grille, front bumper cover revised. No changes to rear fender or wheel arch geometry.
This mud guard set uses the Elysion RC's existing fender fastener points. No drilling or modification to the vehicle body is required. The installation utilizes a combination of plastic fender fastener clips (push-type), U-clip screws, and Allen-head screws with hex key for secure mounting.
