Honda Cars are working on a new small SUV for the global markets and there's a fair chance that this new offering will make its way to India in the future. The Japanese auto giant has spoken little about the sub-4-metre SUV. According to the documents filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Honda's new small SUV could be called the ZR-V. The name was registered in Australia and could be used in the Asia and Oceania region.
Honda is known to add the suffix R-V or recreational vehicle name to its urban crossovers, and the new ZR-V will join the same, along the lines of the Honda CR-V, BR-V, HR-V and WR-V that carry the same nomenclature. There's also the Honda UR-V and XR-V sold specifically in China. The Honda ZR-V name hints at a subcompact SUV targeted for younger buyers.
If the Honda ZR-V makes it to India, the small SUV will fight against the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300 and the Ford EcoSport in the segment. It will also lock horns against the several upcoming offerings including the Kia Sonet, Renault HBC and Nissan Magnite.
