Dongfeng Honda "Spiria" Concept Debut Announced for 2014 Beijing Auto Show

Honda has just released this teaser sketch for a concept called the "Spiria". It's currently making its way to the 2014 Beijing Auto Show for its its big debut.

We really have no way of knowing what the concept actually previews, but there's a little clue in its name. "Spiria" hints at Spirion, which is the Chinese market name for the Accord, not the American version of the car, but the European one that used to be badged as the Acura TSX.

Going by the sketch alone, we could either be looking at a new type of 5-door coupe or a crossover-like Honda CrossTour package differently for the Chinese market.

Another important debut for Honda in Beijing is the third generation Fit. A locally assembled version of the car that's already available in Japan and America will be offered to Chinese customers. Assembled by the Guangzhou-Honda joint venture, the new Fit will come with two engine choices, a 1.3-liter and a 1.5-liter, available with a 5-speed manual or an automatic.

The Acura brand is also making its full-scale debut. Honda hopes production versions of the MDX, RDS, ILX and the NSX Concept will drum up support for its luxury brand in an ever-growing Chinese car market.
