Honda has begun work on an all-new compact SUV that will be a global
model.
With an aim to boom global compact SUV segment globally this new SUV is going to be framed.
This new SUV will sit below the ageing current-gen HR-V.
The next-gen Honda HR-V (expected sometime in 2021) will grow in size and will be around 4.4m in length, thus liberating more space below for Honda to comfortably accommodate a sub-four-metre entry-level SUV in its line-up.
According to sources, the new Honda compact SUV will be under 4m in length and will have the Toyota Raize and the Suzuki Jimny in its sights. The model will share its support with the latest-gen City sedan (schedule to come to India this month) and is expected to share engines and other interior bits too, in order to help Honda keep costs in check.
As far as engines go, the new Honda compact SUV will initially come with not just one, but two petrol powertrain options, starting with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine shared with the City.
The second powerplant for this compact SUV will be a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that could come with Honda’s compact hybrid system, which is now known as e-HEV.
Honda might include a diesel engine option too, depending on the market the SUV is going to be sold.
This new compact SUV from Honda will most likely be one of two new global mass-market SUVs; the second being a four-metre-plus version to rival SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks and the Kia Seltos that are now gaining popularity in emerging markets like South America, Russia, and even countries like Indonesia.
There is no news of an India launch yet.
