Honda is considering the possibility of launching the HR-V SUV in India. The HR-V will sit between the BR-V and the range-topping CR-V when it goes on sale in India with prices expected to start at around Rs 16 lakh. The HR-V, along with the tenth-gen Civic and new Accord Hybrid, is Honda's attempt to push itself as a premium player in the market. The HR-V is more of a crossover than a full-fledged SUV and is based on the same platform as the Jazz and City. The HR-V follows a similar design language as other new Hondas, though chrome is used to a much lesser extent on the front fascia. Other exterior design quirks include C-pillar-mounted door handles and a receding roofline giving the SUV an almost coupé-like profile. The HR-V has a similar cabin layout to the Jazz and while it is space efficient, it isn’t as spacious as other cars in the same price range. The HR-V is expected to be offered with Honda’s 120hp, 1.6-litre diesel engine. A petrol option is also likely. The 1.6-litre diesel will be specifically tuned for India and will also get the added benefit of local assembly with the unit already being built in India for the UK. The Honda HR-V sits above the BR-V and below the CR-V in Honda's global SUV lineup. Here's a photo gallery.
