With the Ford Ecosport picking up almost 30,000 bookings in the last 20 days and the Renault Duster smashing SUV sales last year, it seems that almost everyone is keen to join the MPV bandwagon now. It has become such an important segment, that MPVs could very well be the future of the automotive world. Japanese manufacturer has just given us a glimpse into the future as they released images of their MPV that will be based on the Brio.
The Brio MPV will be making its world debut at the upcoming 21st Indonesia International Motor Show, scheduled for September 19-29, in Jakarta, Indonesia. The new Honda MPV was developed for the Asian market by Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. in Thailand and P.T. Honda R&D Indonesia. This model will be the first Honda product in Indonesia to be introduced to the entry level MPV segment, the biggest category in the Indonesian automobile market. In addition to offering seven seats in a 3-row configuration, the new Honda MPV features an innovative design, spacious cabin, and advanced safety which is already a hallmark of every Honda product. The new Honda MPV will be powered by a 1.5L gasoline engine, which provides both sporty performance and good fuel efficiency. The car will most likely be launched in India towards the end of 2014.
The ground clearence looks too less to make it an MPV for Indian roads.. all the existing models of Honda currently in India have a ground clearence problem where road bump n doped breakers hit the car body
For India market ground clearance will be more & picture shown above is just a concept car.
Why can’t they make it look like an SUV..? It looks like a station wagon.
NICE CAR WHEN CAR COMES AND PRICES.
It does not have Masculine look and secondly ground clearance does not suit Indian road conditions, especially both city and rural areaS.
if honda want to be long term saleable product in MPV range , i suggest please consider ground clearance as key factor and good affordable and with in reach of every one price.now in market your first customer will be a replacement of his existing vechile.Which is already having knowledge of requirement in indian condition.as well a CG also require.
