As a part of Honda’s new strategy, the company will focus on more premium products. With the increasing demand of the SUVs in India, the carmaker has decided to bring in its global HR-V compact SUV. Based on the 2013 Honda urban SUV concept, this new compact SUV will face challenge from Mahindra XUV500 and Tata Hexa in India. Just so you know, the HR-V is the company’s globally successful product that entered in its second-generation in 2013.

On the exterior, the 2018 HR-V features a more prominent front grille that seems to be inspired by the new Honda Civic. On the lower front section, you will see a bigger fog lamp assembly and lower intakes with slats replacing the honeycomb mesh design. The headlamps also appear to be revised with new graphics.
The rear design of the compact SUV is likely to remain unchanged. Though, it might get tailgate with new garnishes. Design elements such as LED DRLs, power panoramic sunroof and chrome exhaust pipe finisher could be carried over from the current model. Check Out – Top 5 Best Modified Honda City
