Honda concept D unveiled in Shanghai (Chinese Market Only)

So that's where they put our CrossTour....

Could preview China-only crossover

Honda has introduced the Concept D at Auto Shanghai 2015, following the release of a teaser image late March.

It likely serves as a sneak preview for a China-only crossover with a bold design and probably targeting a young crowd. The front fascia is a bit busy with that huge grille, massive vents and a large bumper incorporating strips of daytime running lights using LED technology just like the futuristic slim headlights.

The side profile is also a bit on the bulky side with those oversized skirts and bulging wheel arches while instead of conventional mirrors it has received cameras. The rear end hosts C-shaped LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler together with an angular rear bumper also packing big air breathers.

Sitting on massive 21-inch wheels shod in 285/45 tires, the Honda Concept D wears a bronze paint and has been fitted with recessed door handles while details about the powertrain are not available at this point. However, this is most likely an electric vehicle as it doesn't seem to have an exhaust tip.

Honda says the concept previews a production SUV scheduled to go on sale exclusively in China where it will act as the company's flagship model and is going to feature "advanced safety technologies and other advanced features."

Honda releases teaser image of Compact SUV Concept, likely to unveil at Shanghai Auto Show

TOKYO: Honda has teased a new crossover concept, due to be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show.

Few details have been outlaid at this stage, but Honda does tell us that the concept was penned by its Chinese design team.

Honda also says the concept is one that we have not seen before, which previews a new SUV developed exclusively for the Chinese market.

Front styling appears to mirror Honda’s corporate face, seen in the City, Odyssey and Civic, while the side profile could have a few similarities with the new Honda HR-V.

Powertrain specifications are unknown at this stage, but the HR-V’s 105kW/172Nm 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol engine and CVT automatic could potentially point fans in the right direction.

Otherwise, visitors to the Honda stand in Shanghai can expect to see the new City, CR-V and the US-spec Accord Hybrid models, along with an Odyssey special-needs vehicle and a McLaren F1 racer.

The 2015 Shanghai Auto Show is set to run from April 20-29. Stay tuned to TMR for more.
