Honda may unveil Brio based MPV at 2013 Indonesia International Motor Show

Honda may unveil a Brio based MPV at the 2013 Indonesia International Motor Show. This is the second vehicle after the Amaze sedan to be based on the Brio’s platform and has been touted as an important vehicle for the Japanese automaker in Asia. 

According to reports, the MPV will make its debut in Indonesia due to the popularity of MPV’s in country and the fact that the car has been designed using local inputs as well. It is expected to first roll out of Honda’s new factory in west Java that is expected to begin operations next year. 

Jonfis Fandy, director of marketing and after sales service at Honda Prospect Motors (Indonesian subsidiary) said that they would debut an MPV along with another vehicle during the show but did not provide any further details. 

It is almost certain that this MPV will make its way to the Indian market within a few months of its global debut. It is expected to get the 1.2-litre petrol engine as well as the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel mill which will make its Indian debut in the Amaze sedan next month.  We expect that much like the Amaze it will share various components and features with the hatchback.  We will provide you more details about the MPV once they emerge.
