Honda intends to launch an all-new mid-size SUV In June 2023. It will compete in the Indian market against the well-known Hyundai Creta. Modern advancements, including a sophisticated infotainment system, enhanced safety measures, and hybrid engine options, are among the new SUV's features. It also has a striking design with a muscular appearance, chrome accents, and these. It is based on the architectural design of the Honda City and was created exclusively for India. The vehicle is determined to be produced in India at a competitive price to appeal to a wide domain of buyers.

The mid-size Honda SUV is anticipated to be roughly 4.3 metres long and will incorporate styling cues from other vehicles. A huge touchscreen infotainment system, navigation, connected car technologies, heated seats, a sunroof, wireless charging, and steering-mounted controls are predicted for the interior. Given that the SUV is constructed on the same basis as the Honda City, its safety features are anticipated to be comparable.

With six airbags, ABS, EBD, stability control, and ISOFIX child seat anchors, the Honda mid-size SUV is anticipated to have great safety features that might earn it a five-star safety rating. A 1.5-litre gasoline engine with naturally aspirated fuel optimised to create greater power than the Honda City is most likely to power it. According to sources, Honda may offer a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, skipping the current hybrid option. Both a manual and a CVT will be available as gearbox choices.

The Honda mid-size SUV is believed to premiere in June 2023 and go on sale later in the summer. It will face stiff competition when it debuts in the mid-size SUV market from rivals including the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder.
