The latest manufacturer to join the race is Japan's Honda Motor Company which is reportedly developing a new MPV for India codenamed as '2NH'.
The new 3-row, 7-seater MPV from Honda which is based on the platform of next generation Jazz will be developed on the same lines of Honda Freed MPV which is being sold in Malaysia.
