European date for Honda’s SUV

THE all-new Honda concept vehicle has made its world debut at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The concept hints at the styling direction of an all-new small SUV scheduled to be launched in Japan at the end of 2013 and in the US in 2014. The model will subsequently be introduced in Europe.

The Urban SUV Concept represents the expansion of vehicles that will be based on Honda’s new Global Compact Series platform, which include the Honda Jazz and the Honda City.

The Urban SUV Concept, designed to provide aesthetic cues for an all-new small SUV, showcases clean and sophisticated styling, dynamic lines and a strong stance. The small SUV will be rolled out across the world and will be powered by Honda’s fuel-efficient Earth Dreams Technology.

The new model will utilise Honda’s original centre-tank layout that features on the Honda Jazz and will also incorporate Honda’s famous Magic Seats that enable a range of seating configurations for maximum versatility.
