Upcoming Honda Compact SUV for India to be 7-Seater

The compact SUV segment in India is heating up like never before. Nissan will be launching its compact SUV next year and so will be Maruti. Hyundai will be soon launching the ix25 in the Indian market followed by Mahindra launching the S101. Now, a new report from Autocar India states that the upcoming Honda compact SUV for India will ferry seven passengers and is likely to get a Auto Expo 2016 unveil. Honda shelved the plans to launch the Vezel in India as it was proving too costly to be produced here.

The report also mentions that Honda Cars India recently flew some of their top dealers to the company’s R&D facilities in Japan and showed them the freshly developed compact SUV for the Indian market. Even after billing it as a compact SUV, Honda has ensured that it will seat 7 passengers.

The new compact SUV will share its underpinnings with the Mobilio along with larger wheels, aggressive body cladding and skid plates all round. We can safely assume Honda to plonk in the 1.5 liter petrol and diesel engines as on the Mobilio and the City. Stay tuned to Motoroids for more dope on the Honda compact SUV India launch and more details.
