Honda has, as promised, rolled in to the Shanghai Motor Show with the Concept D.

Looking like a cross between an HR-V and a Decepticon, the Concept D previews a future crossover to be offered exclusively as the Japanese automaker’s flagship model in China.

The styling is certainly not for the faint of heart, with more angles than a geometry set, more vents than an air conditioner, a proliferation of LED lighting, gold spokes to match the bodywork and a sharply raked rear window with a giant wing at its peak.

The front-end with the massive chrome grille, the large bumper and the huge vents incorporated in the bumper looks ahead of its time. In profile, the massive wheel arches, the swooping roofline and the big wheels reflect its size.

Interestingly, the Concept D ditches conventional ORVMs to give way to cameras. The C-Shaped LED taillights, the roof mounted spoiler and the humongous bumper with the air-breathers make it look ultramodern and rugged.

Honda claims that based on this concept, they will develop a new SUV that will initially go on sale just in the Chinese market. When launched the new SUV will be company’s flagship model and will come equipped with all kinds of advanced features and safety technologies.

Details released with the trio of images remain scarce, but the production version of the concept you see here is slated to be offered in China through two of the company’s local joint ventures, Guangqi Honda and Dongfeng Honda – albeit sure to be toned down some on the road from show stand to showroom.
