Honda Cars India Ltd. is facing a hard time making high numbers of sales tally. Currently, the company’s bread and butter comes from the City and Amaze nameplates. It is sad that Honda's Indian car lineup still misses out on an SUV, the body style, which contributes to the major part of automotive sales in the Indian market. However, the company has now decided to take the hard step and launch a new SUV in our market. Honda Cars India has today released a new teaser image of its upcoming SUV, sharing a sneak peek of what the Indian audience will soon see from the Japanese carmaker.

The company has released the first teaser sketch of the all-new SUV, which will premiere during the summer of 2023. The all-new Honda SUV has been designed at the Honda R&D Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. following extensive market surveys in India for people’s changing lifestyle requirements and expectations from Honda for their new SUV in terms of design & performance.

Talking of the design details, the image shows the SUV will get LED whiskers for the DRLs, integrated into the headlamp assembly. Moreover, the bonnet will be a high-set unit, and it will don a flat profile. The chin will sport a chunky scuff plate with LED fog lamps. Around the sides, larger alloy wheels, squared-off wheel arches, roof rails, and an upright stance is visible. The upcoming SUV is expected to be based on the Honda Amaze’s platform.
