Honda Siel Cars India is
allegedly, working on a new seven-seater MPV for India, which is codenamed as
'2NH' that will confront the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Mahindra Xylo and
the Toyota Innova.
The new MPV will be urbanized on the same
lines as the current Malaysian-spec MPV called Honda Freed, which in turn is
based on the same stage as the next generation Honda Jazz with three rows of
seating for 7 adults. The Malaysian-spec Freed with be Indianised, contained
and in the process is bound to ditch some of its features before it lands on
the Indian shores.
The Honda 2NH MPV for
India will come with a broad range of engine options for both petrol and diesel
variants, with more stress on the diesel version owing to the higher demand of
diesel motorized vehicles in the Indian market and also the much awaited
Honda's Earth Dreams series of diesel engines is probable to debut in the
coming months.
The current Honda Freed MPV packs in high
quality of interiors, much like the Honda Jazz and is different for its small
engine section and large cabin space for passengers and baggage. It will
certainly be attractive to see, how the Japanese automaker re-shapes the Freed
into the India-spec 2NH and also the price tag it will bring along to struggle
with one of the lowest priced MPV, the Ertiga in India.
The Honda 2NH MPV is expected to arrive in the
Indian marketplace by 2014.
