Developing all new SUV for Indian market: Honda

Japanese auto major Honda is in the process of developing an all new SUV for the Indian market as it looks to enter the segment which has been growing at a very fast clip, according to a top company official.

The company, which sells models like Amaze, City, Jazz and WR-V in the Indian market, currently lacks presence in the SUV segment after discontinuing CR-V sales last year.

We have studied how to launch an SUV (in the Indian market). So now we can confirm that we are in the developing phase to launch an India specific SUV,’ Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) President & CEO Gaku Nakanishi told PTI in an interaction.

He declined to share any details regarding the size or the expected launch time-frame of the product.

Nakanishi, however, noted that the company already has a notable presence in the sedan segment with Amaze and City and now it would like to enter the SUV segment in order to fill the gap which exists in its current product line-up.
