Its 7-seater version will rival the Hyundai Alcazar.
The upcoming compact SUV from Honda is expected to feature a high-riding stance and rugged styling. Some of its design parts may be similar to the new Honda BR-V. This SUV can be given a 1.2-litre petrol engine like the Honda Amaze compact sedan. Like the mid-size SUV, the new Honda compact SUV could come with hybrid technology.
The company will also bring Honda City Facelift.
According to reports, Honda will also give its popular City sedan a mid-life update. The new Honda City facelift version could be offered with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), an updated infotainment system, wireless smartphone connectivity and new connected car technology.
