Upcoming Honda SUV
The SUV's front profile borrows certain styling cues from the internationally available HR-V and WR-V SUVs. A large grille and stylish LED DRLs and headlights are visible at the front. The upright bonnet and windscreen, which resemble an SUV, make the front profile appear more muscular overall. The alloy wheels are wrapped on the sides, yet they seem to have a diamond cut, sportier appearance. The number plate recess is in the middle of the tailgate, and the rear end will get a wraparound LED tail lamp with a halogen turn indication.
