Honda joins small SUV market

At the recently conclude Detroit Motor Show, Japanese car maker Honda made a global debut for this concept mini SUV. Known as the Honda Urban SUV Concept, this is a direct entry into the growing demand for smaller SUV and it will compete with cars such as the Duster, EcoSport and Yeti, just to name a few. The dynamic and youthful concept hints at the styling direction of an all-new small SUV slated to launch in Japan by the end of 2013, and hopefully followed by an Indian release in 2014. Honda themselves state that the Urban SUV Concept is intended to provide the basis for a fun-to-drive and fuel-efficient small SUV with aspirational design, flexible packaging and next-generation connectivity targeting active lifestyle customers. The concept showcases clean and sophisticated styling, dynamic character lines and a strong stance, with hidden rear door handles giving the SUV a coupe-like presence.
