Shouldn't the patent information remain confidential ? Sorry if this is a noob.
This is not a leak, but is publicly accessible information.

Also, this is not a patent, but a design registration. Almost all IP filings (including designs, trademarks and patents) will be published by the Indian Patent Office on their website. This is also true for all other Patent Offices worldwide. The IP filings, once published, can be searchable by the public on the Indian Patent Office website (https://ipindia.gov.in/e-gateways.htm#public-search).

I think most auto journalists/website/enthusiasts have become savvy to this and do frequent searches on the Indian Patent Office website for filings by auto companies.

Another recent example, where an IP filing (in this cases, a trademark) was used to predict the future product line of a company is the https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motor...iber-name.html (Bajaj files trademark application for 'Caliber' name) thread.

That gives some hope about this vehicle being launched in the Indian market. The design of the vehicle is pleasing due to its proportionate and clean lines. Honda sure knows how to make spacious vehicles so this could well turn out to be a spacious 6 or 7 seater competing against Hyundai Alcazar.

Thank you for the information. The post #34 does mention it is leaked.
It was a wrong choice of words there I guess.....

Re: The N7X Concept : Honda's 7-seater SUV for Asia

The lazyness of Honda is unforgiving. Many City users who don't want to let go of the iVtec/iDtec but wanting to upgrade to a good looking premium mid-SUV don't have any option. It is simply not acceptable from Honda to not launch its HRV/Vezel in India since they were not able to 95% localise the product even after having the product for more than 10 yrs in their portfolio in other countries. Now making people wait another 2 years for launching the N7X (if they launch). Absolutely ridiculous.

Re: The N7X Concept : Honda's 7-seater SUV for Asia

Going by the impressive feature list, looks like Honda will be positioning it a segment higher than old BR-V

- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane departure warning/lane keep assist
- Automatic Radar braking system

Re: The N7X Concept : Honda's 7-seater SUV for Asia

Happened to see this in Indonesia recently. Looked good, clean lines, paint & alloy looked great! Nothing to complain in terms of styling.

Couldn’t get a clear photo of the interiors as it was heavily tinted, but space looked very much similar to Ertiga & world.

Hope Honda India brings it and pitches it against XL6 & Carens. I would be interested if Honda brings a diesel, to replace our Ertiga.

Note: Taken in phone, Just realized the pictures are clear when clicked open in new window.

Re: The N7X Concept : Honda's 7-seater SUV for Asia

Don't care if it is not all new or is just a heavily updated version of the old BrV/ Mobilio.

Just launch it here Honda!!! You don't have the excuse of this being too much cost prohibitive for India, this is afterall ASEAN spec model.

just launch it with the City powertrains. Would be the lone Japanese diesel model in the segment since Maruti/Toyota have abandoned small diesels.
