Honda India has exported prototype test vehicles of the 2FM from India. This is expected to be the Jazz-based crossover and will make its debut in markets like India and Brazil next year. Over the last few months Honda had been importing components for the same from various locations. The export of completed prototypes indicates that the cars are destined for a final sign off from Tokyo before hitting the production lines.
The cars that have been exported are powered by the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine and are in the S, V and VX trim levels. However, we believe that Honda will also offer the car with the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine.
Speculative renderings and pictures of the test cars indicate that Honda will go with the standard formula of hatchback-based crossovers. This includes adding a cladding to the exterior of the vehicle, fitting it with taller wheels and probably a different rear end to differentiate it from the standard Jazz. This vehicle will rival the likes of the Hyundai i20 Active, Fiat Avventura and the Volkswagen Cross Polo.
