Joining the Concept C sedan at Honda’s 2012 Beijing Motor Show booth is the Concept S minivan. According to the Japanese carmaker, the ‘S’ in the design study’s name stands for “Stylish,” “Smart” and “Surprise”.

Honda tells us that the Concept S is motivated by an unspecified hybrid powertrain and that it features a spacious cabin without providing any information on the number of passengers that it can accommodate.

“This concept model realizes both the “fun of driving” and excellent environmental performance at the same time,” said Honda in a statement.

The company added that the Concept S previews a production model that is scheduled for introduction in the Chinese market through its Dongfeng Honda Automobile joint venture next year, followed by a global release shortly after.
