Upcoming Honda SUV Likely To Offer ADAS

Currently, the MG Astor is the only C-segment SUV to offer ADAS features. The Honda SUV could be hot on its heels to take the second spot with its ADAS features. However, Kia too are testing the Seltos facelift, which is also likely to offer ADAS and a host of other features and launch around the same time as the Honda SUV. It remains to be seen who takes the second spot to offer ADAS features in the C-segment SUV space.

Since the Honda City already offers ADAS features, that too right from its middle variant, it’s natural to expect the new SUV from Honda to also come equipped with ADAS features. Take a look at the expected ADAS features of the upcoming Honda SUV, which are already available with the City.

• Auto emergency braking (AEB)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

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.
