The car is designed specif­i­cally for the boom­ing Indian small car seg­ment, with the pro­duc­tion ver­sion expected to fetch around $12,000 with Honda work­ing to ensure the car is locally pro­duced to keep costs down in the highly com­pet­i­tive segment.

Details are sparse on the spec­i­fi­ca­tions for the new con­cept, but engine, econ­omy and appoint­ments are expected to exceed offer­ings from Volk­swa­gen and Maruti Suzuki, India’s cur­rent mar­ket leader to occupy a lux­ury tier of the small car segment.
