After the sub-compact HR-V, Honda is preparing yet another SUV, named the BR-V for "Bold Runabout Vehicle", which will target the Asian markets.
It will be revealed at the Gaikindo Indonesian International Auto Show 2015 this August as a thinly disguised concept model before it goes on sale sometime next year.
The BR-V is believed to be based on Honda's 7-seater Mobilio sub-compact minivan, itself, an elongated version of the Brio hatchback that was developed exclusively for Asia. As such, the BR-V will likely offer seating for seven passengers in three rows of seats.

Full technical specifications are likely still a ways off from being announced. However the Japanese automaker and its Indonesian importer have confirmed that the BR-V will be powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine of unspecified output, mated to a choice of two transmission options. We don't know whether one of those might include all-wheel drive or not, but Honda has indicated that it's built high ground clearance into the BR-V – which ought to keep it from being confused with the low-riding Subaru BRZ, to say nothing Honda's other similarly named crossovers like the CR-V or HR-V.
