It is no secret to anyone that Honda is working on a new compact SUV to be introduced in the Indian market. This new SUV is expected to lock its horns with the likes of the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, and the Mahindra XUV300.

While the Japanese carmaker is yet to share more details about this new upcoming SUV, a few reports suggest that it will be offered with a hybrid powertrain and here is everything that we know about this new SUV so far.

This new SUV will offer an upright stance with sharp styling elements and body cladding all across to give it a tough appearance. The overall styling is said to be inspired by the more premium Honda City. Inside, just like other Honda cars, this new SUV will offer a spacious and practical cabin in addition to a long list of features. We might also see some similarities in the cabin with the Amaze or the City.

This new SUV is expected to make its Indian debut in mid-2023 and will take on other compact SUVs in the market.
