Honda is thinking big with its "New Small Concept" unveiled at the Delhi Motor Show in India today. Designed by Honda Siel Cars India Ltd, the Japanese firm"s Indian arm, the stylish concept will form the basis for a new model to go on sale in India and Thailand next year.
Blacked-out A-pillars give an impression of a wraparound windscreen, while the sharply tapered rear window adds to the dynamic profile. A feast of slashes and creases in the bodywork should make it among the most stylish models in its class.
And by using a wide platform, the car"s designers have ensured that not
only will it be stable in the bends, but there"s ample room for five in
the cabin, too.
According to Honda, when the car goes on sale in 2011 the aim is to provide a small and affordable family vehicle that is beyond the expectations of customers in emerging markets. There are currently no plans to bring it to the UK.
