The new Honda SUV RS Concept looks like a sporty SUV with a low roofline, and highly raked windscreen.The new SUV appears as a subcompact offering that is expected to be rivalling head-to-head against compact SUVs like the Toyota Raize and Perodua Ativa.
Styling-wise, the new Honda SUV RS Concept features sleek design elements, including a low roofline, and highly raked windscreen. We can also observe a broad front grille with the chequered pattern, full-width tail lights, deeply-contoured bumpers, and skid plates at the rear. With its crossover silhouette, the car looks more like a sporty SUV.
In terms of features, the upcoming Honda SUV could borrow the stuff from the City, including LED headlights, a digital instrument cluster, an Alexa-powered infotainment unit, a sunroof, and the Honda Sensing suite of active safety features.
Not only features, but the car is also expected to mirror the City’s engine setup. This means it could get a 1.5-litre diesel engine churning out a maximum power output of 100 PS and a peak torque of 200 Nm. Another possibility is a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine good for making 120 PS and 173 Nm of torque. In addition, a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated unit could also be borrowed from the Jazz.
The upcoming Honda SUV will go on sale in Indonesia first, followed by the launch in India.
