Honda To Unveil A New SUV In Indonesia On November 2

• Honda to take the wraps off a new SUV on November 2.
• It could be the next-gen WR-V, based on the SUV RS concept.
• Likely to get petrol, turbo-petrol, and strong hybrid powertrain concepts.
• Could make its way to the Indian market soon.

It looks like Honda might showcase a new SUV real soon. A mysterious model, which will break cover on November 2, has been teased on Honda Indonesia’s social media platform with a big ‘W' background. This leads us to believe that it could be the next-gen WR-V, a model that could head to our shores soon after its debut. 

For starters, it looks sleeker and much more SUV-like than the outgoing WR-V, which looks more like a beefed-up Jazz. In fact, a few reports online suggest this could be the production version of the SUV RS concept. Its silhouette, with its raked A-pillar, mimics the larger and more premium HR-V (a Creta rival) which ain’t a bad thing. 

On the inside, you can expect a feature-loaded cabin with highlights likely to be a large touchscreen infotainment system, climate control, a sunroof, a part digital instrument display a la the City, cruise control, and push-button start. Safety should be taken care of by multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. 

Engine options are zipped at the moment, but we expect them to be market-specific. In general, we expect the upcoming SUV to boast petrol and turbo-petrol engine options. We also wouldn’t discount a strong hybrid powertrain considering more and more Hondas are starting to provide this frugal option.  

More details about this SUV will be revealed as we inch closer to its reveal date. So stay tuned.
