The Brio-based MPV will be built in Honda's upcoming plant in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Just
weeks back, we had reported that Honda is developing a new 7-seater MPV
based on Honda Jazz for India, codenamed '2NH' that is expected to
arrive in the country by 2014.
Today, while announcing the commencement of construction
work of Honda's new plant in Indonesia, the company also revealed that
the Brio hatchback and a MPV based on the Brio would be also developed
at this new upcoming plant in the suburbs of Jakarta.
"Designed based on the Brio hatchback, the new MPV will
enhance the Honda line up of MPV models, which account for the majority
of passenger vehicles sales in Indonesia." an official press release
states.
Honda is planning to launch the Brio in the Indonesian
market before the end of 2012, by importing the hatch from its market in
Thailand. Honda will then begin local production of the Indonesian-spec
Brio at the existing plant before the end of 2013, which will be
transferred to the new plant in Jakarta that is expected to become
operational in 2014.
Unfortunately, there are not many details about this Brio-based MPV. But
rest assured we would dig further on this and get you more details as
soon as we possibly can.
