When it comes to practical people-carriers, Chinese consumers usually turn to small commercial vehicles these days, but Honda thinks it can open the local market to passenger minivans.

Like many other studies shown at the Auto China 2013 in Shanghai, the Honda Concept M is also intended for production with the Japanese carmaker stating it is aiming for a market introduction as early as next year.

The new Concept M, which from some angles, looks a futuristic version of the Odyssey with cleaner profile lines and an in-your-face chrome grille, is the design work of Honda’s studio in Japan.

At the time we wrote this article, Honda hadn’t provided any technical specifications on the concept study.
