The global media suggests that the new Honda compact SUV will be designed and developed on the new City platform. What’s more interesting is that Honda is also readying an all-new mid-sized SUV to rival Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta. The company’s global SUV – the HR-V will enter into the new generation in 2020-21. It will mark the debut of Honda’s new platform.

The new Honda compact SUV is rumoured to be powered by a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that also powers the new City RS and the Civic hatchback. This engine is capable of producing 129PS and 180Nm of torque. The Japanese-spec model could also receive a new 1.5-litre petrol with 2-motor hybrid system, which also powers the new-gen Jazz hatchback.

It is quite early to comment whether the new compact SUV will arrive in our market. Previous media reports suggest that Honda is developing a sub-4 meter SUV and an all-new mid-sized SUV based on the new Amaze platform for the Indian market. The new platform is claimed to be stronger and lighter, and is versatile enough to accommodate different body styles and engines.
