2012 Beijing Auto Show – Honda Concept S previews new production people mover for China

The Honda Odyssey has been the brand’s bread and butter on global scale when it comes to a family hauler. Recently at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, Honda is taking another swing at the minivan market with the new Concept S. The model is said to be global concept that shows a new-value passenger mover that was developed primarily for China

“The ‘S’ stands for ‘Stylish,’ ‘Smart’ and ‘Surprise,’ Honda said in a statement. “Adopting a hybrid powertrain, this concept model realizes both the “fun of driving” and excellent environmental performance at the same time. A spacious cabin was realized by Honda’s packaging technologies, which is one of the distinctive strengths of Honda.”

Honda says that the mass production version of the Concept S will hit the Chinese market in 2013, followed by a global release. Does the global release include the India? No confirmation on that yet.
