Auto / Honda new Mid Size SUV to Compete Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos

Honda Compact SUV: The Honda car is looking for a huge success in the Indian market. The company is not getting any great growth in terms of car sales. Cars like the CR-V and the Civic didn't fare well. The company currently relies on its sedan cars like City and Amaze. Cars like the Jazz, WR-V and the fourth generation City will also be phased out due to the RDE (Real Driving Emission) norms coming into effect from April 2023. After this, only two cars will be left in the company's portfolio.

Now quoting the report, it is being claimed that Honda may launch a compact SUV in India. This segment is growing rapidly. More than 35,000 units are being sold every month in this segment. Currently, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are the best-selling in this segment. Honda is preparing to enter this segment.
