When Honda presented the Concept S in Beijing last year, it said that we would also see a production version. And as the automaker promised, it did. That's why in Shanghai we can admire the almost serial appearance of the new MPV called Jade.
Although Honda refers to the Jade as an MPV, when looking at the shape of the body, most people think of a station wagon. The design was inspired by the eighth generation Civic, which is visible mainly in the front part. The rear part offers distinctive lights and the positive impression of the design is enhanced by the distinctive green color.
The basis was the platform of the larger MPV Stream , which at one time was also sold in our country. There has not been a single word about the technology yet, but the Chinese media report the use of 1.8 and 2.0 petrol units, and do not rule out the installation of a hybrid powertrain .
The serial version will be produced at the Dongfeng Honda joint factory and will go on sale in September this year. Of course, China will be the first to arrive, but an arrival on the European market is also not ruled out.
