To be Honda's flagship model in China
Honda has commenced testing procedures for a production
version
Concept
D
and our spies caught a prototype testing in Spain.
Earlier this year at the Auto Shanghai in China we saw Honda's
radically styled mid-size SUV featuring a fastback-like rear end. At that
point, Honda said their plan is to roll out a production version in 2016 exclusively
for the Chinese market where it would act as the company's flagship model. Now,
a fully camouflaged prototype has been spotted undergoing testing in Spain.
To put it nicely, the concept was far from being one of
Honda's most attractive designs and hopefully the translation to a production
car will bring a more appealing body. Despite the massive disguise, the
mid-size SUV appears to look significantly toned down and seems to have a very
flat rear window. The rear end will definitely be the most interesting or
perhaps controversial part of the design and hopefully it will be less busy
compared to the concept.
Little else is known about the production car, but Honda
said during the Concept D's reveal the road-going model will have "advanced
safety technologies and other advanced features" to be worthy of the
range-topping status in China.
