Upcoming Honda SUV Powertrain Details

The upcoming Honda SUV is likely to share its powertrains with the Honda City facelift. It means that the upcoming Honda SUV won’t offer a diesel engine option, like other Honda cars in India. Hence, the Honda SUV is likely to offer the City’s 1.5L normal petrol engine that produces 121PS of power at 6600rpm and 145Nm of torque at 4300rpm. Transmission choices could include a 6-speed manual and a 7-step CVT. Honda could also offer the 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain of the City e:HEV hybrid with the new SUV. The hybrid variants of the Honda SUV will rival the hybrid variants of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

Honda are likely to reveal their new SUV in June 2023 and launch it closer to the festive season. The new Honda SUV will rival other C-segment SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder and MG Astor.
