Highlights

It's no secret that Honda is working on a compact SUV that will be based on the extended Brio platform. Interestingly, a couple of units of the Brio-based compact SUV, codenamed '2SJ', were imported to India last month for testing and development purpose. This only cements Honda's intention of launching it in India as well. To further give weight to the speculations, Honda has now released the official sketches of an all-new compact SUV - the BR-V - that will also be based on the platform shared with Brio. This hints at the company's intentions of launching the same vehicle across most Asian markets, including India. Just so you know, Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co. Ltd (HRAP) Thailand has developed the new BR-V for the Asian market. Also, BR-V is the third product to be developed by HRAP. The company has informed that the Honda Brio BR-V will make its debut at the upcoming Gaikindo Indonesian International Auto Show 2015, which is scheduled to take place from August 20 - August 30 in Tangerang, Indonesia. With 3-row configuration, the BR-V will accommodate 7 passengers easily. About the BR-V's engines, it will be powered by a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine - the same as the one that powers the Honda Fit and City. Though, for the Indian market, the carmaker might also offer the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel unit, which it uses for its diesel cars here.
