Honda Concept C Vehicle For Chinese Market Shown In Beijing
One of the star attractions at Honda's stand at the Auto China 2012 in Beijing is the new Concept C study that gives consumers a first look at the company's upcoming family saloon model that will go on sale in the country next year.
Honda says that the "C" in the car's name represents "Cool," "Challenge," and "China." The production version of the distinctively styled four-door concept will launch exclusively in China and will be built by the company's local joint venture, Guangqi Honda Automobile.
According to the Japanese automaker, the product planning for the family sedan was led by Honda's Chinese associates and the development was done through cooperation between development teams in China and Japan. In addition to the unveiling of the Concept C, the company's joint venture Guangqi Honda Automobile announced plans to build a third production line at its existing ZengCheng Plant.
The construction of the third line will begin at the end of 2012 and become operational in 2014 with an initial annual production output of 120,000 units. Honda said that it is planning to further expand the capacity up to 240,000 units in the near future.
Honda Concept S -
Below we have the Concept S, which supposedly stands for "Stylish," "Smart" and "Surprise." Like the Concept C, Honda says Concept S will spawn a production model that will debut in China in 2013, with global sales following thereafter. Honda isn't saying exactly what is powering the S other than mentioning it's a hybrid.
