Finally, Honda has revealed its mid-sized SUV at the GIIAS 2021 in Indonesia. The SUV is in the concept stage and coined as Honda SUV RS. Once in production, the SUV from Honda will be the next Hyundai Creta Rival in the coming months. In this article, we will discuss what the Honda SUV RS has to offer.
Honda SUV RS Design
The new Honda SUV RS gets all the latest styling cues and design from Honda HR-V. The Honda SUV RS will be a five-seater SUV that will be placed below the HR-V in Honda’s global line-up. This will be the smallest SUV from Honda. Although Honda has not disclosed the dimensions of this SUV, we expect this to be around 4300mm in length and a similar wheelbase as that of Honda City. The Honda SUV RS gets a more Coupe-style design with a tapering roofline. The shoulder lines of this SUV are quite prominent along with chunky body cladding. The car gets 18-inch alloy wheels with a matte black finish. The C-pillar of the SUV RS is very noticeable as it tapers towards the end at the tailgate. At the rear, the SUV gets slim LED taillights connected to a faux light bar. The rear bumper has a faux skid plate and looks quite large.
Honda SUV RS Engine Specifications
Honda has not yet disclosed the engine details. But the production version of the SUV RS will get the same engine options as the Honda City that is sold globally. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and the 1.5 i-VTEC petrol with Honda’s e:HEV hybrid technology are expected to be offered in this SUV. There will be an option of manual and a CVT gearbox to choose from.
Launch
An India-specific SUV is in the making that will share the same underpinnings as the Honda City. This SUV from Honda will be competing against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos in India. Honda has not yet shared a launch date that will be specific to India related to Honda SUV RS.
