Press Release:

Honda "Urban SUV Concept" Makes World Debut at the 2013 North American International Auto ShowAll-new Honda concept model previews addition to growing small-SUV segment and demonstrates Honda's small-car expertise

An all-new Honda "Urban SUV Concept" vehicle made its world debut today at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. 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, followed by the U.S. market in 2014.

"No one has had greater success with small cars than Honda, and this Urban SUV Concept will create new value in the growing small-SUV segment," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales at American Honda. "With the continued expansion of our North American manufacturing operations, we expect fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive 'small' cars to play a key role in meeting the needs of our customers in the U.S."

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. Measuring 169.3 inches long, the Urban SUV Concept is nine inches shorter than the Honda CR-V, making it the ideal size for navigating both crowded city streets and open mountain roads.

The Urban SUV Concept represents the expansion of vehicles based on Honda's Global Compact Series, which includes the Honda Fit subcompact and the Honda City subcompact sedan, a model sold in markets outside the United States.

All-New Small SUV Launching 2014

Coming to the U.S. in 2014, an all-new small SUV based on the Urban SUV Concept will feature fuel-efficient Earth Dreams™ Technology and be priced and positioned below the CR-V within the Honda light-truck lineup. Part of Honda's Global Compact Series, and utilizing the Honda-original center-tank layout featured on the Fit, the model will include Honda's configurable Magic Seat® setup that can provide a host of passenger and cargo options, including a fold-flat mode for maximum cargo capacity. The all-new model will also feature next-generation telematics and a modern interior.

The small SUV will be manufactured along with the Fit at Honda's newest North American plant near Celaya, Mexico, expected to open in the spring of 2014. The growth and expansion of its small-vehicle lineup will help Honda double worldwide production of vehicles in its Global Compact Series to more than 1.5 million units by the end of 2016, and remain a global small-car leader.

Sembra proprio cosi, anche perchè ora hanno il motore-cambio giusto (1,6D)

Idee x i tempi di commercializzazione?

Ma magari....

Questo dovrebbe essere quello a bse piattaforma Jazz.

non so se ci sta il 1.6 nuovo

Nel ddl Stabilità dovrebbero mettere il divieto di teaser. Certo, così sembra bella, ma valle a togliere tutte quelle ombre...

Che Honda abbia finalmente inforcato la giusta via? Da questo teaser parrebbe proprio piacevole!

La fine del mondo si avvicina...

Ma magari....

Un altro SUV, probabilmente a 2 ruote motrici da usare in città per parcheggiare sui marciapiedi, spero almeno che prevedano una versione ibrida o elettrica

Visione un po' "vecchia" e parziale. Il successo commerciale ha creato il segmento dei Crossover (dal QQ in poi) ,fra i pochi destinati a crescere in un periodo di crisi. Sappiamo benissimo che non hanno un "senso" da un punto di vista economico e di qualita' dinamiche, ma le esigenze possono essere anche diverse x alcuni utenti.

Dalla Mokka, fino alla 500X, passando per Countryman, 2008, Aircross, Asx, Tiguan, ix35/Sportage, etc

In effetti la Honda ha il knowhow x una versione ibrida, tra l'atro adattissima alla citta' (ambiente cui sono destinati i Crossover ).

Pero' sulla Civic EU non lo hanno previsto. Speriamo sulla Urban.

PS Chi parcheggia sui marciapiedi lo farebbe anche con un'auto normale, il Suv serve x facilitare il compito e x dare/darsi una "giustificazione"
