Upcoming Honda SUV New Spy Shots
The front face of the SUV draws certain stylistic elements from the internationally available HR-V and WR-V SUVs, as we've seen in earlier spy photos. Having now seen the rear end, it appears that Honda has maintained its sloping rear windscreen and straight tailgate. An LED tail lamp with a halogen turn signal wraps around the back end. According to reports, the future SUV will be built on the underpinnings of the brand's modified City sedan.
To provide additional space inside, the brand has maintained the future SUV's boxy overall design. It has a wide grille up front, and sleek LED DRLs and headlights are evident. Overall, the front profile looks more robust due to the elevated bonnet and windscreen that resemble an SUV. Despite being covered on the sides, the alloy wheels provide a sportier, diamond-cut appearance.
Inside, we anticipate it to include all the modern amenities, such as leather upholstery, a digital instrument panel, wireless charging, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, and other features. We might also expect enhanced safety features, such the addition of Honda Sensing technology.

Upcoming Honda SUV Powertrain
The powertrain duties will likely be handled by the same 1.5-liter petrol engine and a potent 1.5-liter gasoline hybrid engine utilised in the fifth-generation Honda City. The transmission job will be done by an eCVT in the powerful hybrid version, a CVT in the petrol version, and a 6-speed manual transmission.
