Honda may not be a well known brand in SUVs, but it is definitely making
efforts to be known among the big daddy SUV segment. Honda has released a
teaser picture of a small SUV which it calls as “Compact Urban SUV concept” to
be positioned below the CR-V. The Honda Urban SUV concept will be shown at Detroit Auto Show commencing on 14th of January next year.
In its press release, Honda has mentioned that the Compact Urban SUV is
a global concept combining a sporty and dynamic SUV profile with a spacious and
functional interior. The concept is based on Jazz platform and from the teaser
picture it is evident that Honda has retained its futuristic design philosophy.
A diesel option as well as a hybrid variant is also likely to be added to make
the compact SUV compatible in the market.
Though the Urban SUV is aimed at US markets, Honda might bring it to the
other parts of the world, say India. Honda has officially not revealed anything
about the product in its future plans for India; we think Honda might bring the
vehicle to India sooner or later.
