Honda may launch a new SUV based on the Civic platform to compete with Toyota's successful SUV, the Corolla Cross.




Likely to be built on the Civic platform, the project would leave the new SUV in a position among the New HR-V, which kept its compact size at 4.32 m, but with a smaller footprint than the CR-V, which currently has 4.59 m.

This indicates that the SUV will arrive with something around 4.45 m, thus taking the Corolla Cross with its 4.46 m.

In this project, the name would not have been defined yet, but it probably won't be a “Civic Cross”, as Honda doesn't have the same numbers philosophy that Toyota has for keeping its cars as the best sellers in the world.

Another aspect is that, unlike the Civic 11, the SUV based on it would have to be built in more places due to the higher demand for SUVs than sedans. Currently, the Civic 11 is scheduled to be made in the US, Canada, China and Japan.

In terms of power system, Honda’s new SUV is expected to share the Civic ’s powertrain, with a 1.5T engine as the main engine.

It is estimated that there will also be a 180 TURBO model with a power of 95 kilowatts and a 240 TURBO model with a power of 134 kilowatts. In the future, e: HEV hybrid version.

Hope Honda plans to bring it here. They really need some more model range rather than just The city and amaze. Can't wait for the new civic also. Honda might have learner from their previous mistake and should be bringing the new civic in petrol manual variant

Honda is said to be developing a brand-new SUV model based on the current-gen Civic sedan. According to a media report, the new Honda SUV will be positioned between the HR-V and the CR-V in the firm's global lineup.



Being based on the Civic, the new SUV will be underpinned by the same platform as the sedan and could also carry forward the same engine and transmission options. To reiterate, the current-gen Honda Civic is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 182 BHP and is mated to a CVT automatic transmission.



While the details of the new model are scarce, reports do suggest that the Civic-based SUV could feature a rugged and adventurous theme. They also state that the SUV could borrow certain design elements from the recently unveiled RS Concept.

The new Honda SUV is said to make its global debut sometime around September 2022.

Digesting this will take me some time, I own a Civic 2019 and am a fan of the sheer comfort the car provides in the segment. Now moving the complete experience to a SUV is going to be a Hit or Miss, time will only tell that. But personally if Honda would have gone back and implemented this design language for the 2022 Civic, it would have a lot of takers for sure.

Thread already exists on this.

I doubt if this arrives in India. If by chance it will, it will be priced in the range of Fortuner most probably. While we all will happily wait for a well engineered right priced SUV, Honda will not fulfill it.

Spotted as a mystery SUV, this could be the SUV based on Honda Civic:

By the looks of it, could be an effective XUV/Compass/Harrier competitor.
But we know Honda well enough to not even try at bringing this to our shores.

[saisree]

It has Honda written all over it. Looks great and being on the civic platform should have nice drive ability. A genuine competitor to Compass, XUV7OO, Harrier.

I have no idea which retard is Head of Honda India? Excuse my language but that person is killing Honda in India if he incharge of choosing what vehicle makes it to our country. Such a great brand but simply not bringing the right products to India.

They could've brought HR-V to Indian shores but no they won't. They might bring this particular SUV to India but it seems highly unlikely.They gave us Civic and CR-V, brilliant vehicles, but frankly very few could afford them.

It is like they are committing Hara-kiri. In the end they will blame Indian customers for making poor choices.

What India needs right now, as early as possible, from Honda is a compact SUV with 5 star safety that can go head to head with Creta and co.

Come on Honda! We are counting on you.

[aniketi]

Such a bad design !! Sorry Honda, don't bring this car in India. Looks horrible in side profile. Not sure about rest of the world, but Honda India need to get some good cars for India. They have very good portfolio in US but we get only City which is good and competitive.

[Aaron:)]

In the past, Europe and America have had different versions of the Accord and Civic. Could Honda be adopting the same strategy with the new HR-V?

This could actually be the USA-spec HR-V, larger to suit American preferences.

Excuse your language? Given the decisions Honda has been making, I think they deserve much harsher words
