Honda Urban SUV Concept revealed at 2013 Detroit Auto Show

The Honda Urban SUV Concept made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, apparently hinting at the Japanese automaker’s future new crossover offering that will slot in below the CR-V in terms of size and price.

The Urban SUV Concept looks pretty funky in terms of design, but it remains to be seen how much of it, if at all, will be toned down for the final production model. We see a bit of the new 2013 Honda Accord in the front fascia. It is almost 230 mm shorter than the CR-V. Reports are it will have a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine under the hood, mated to a CVT and probably offering either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive.

It will be built alongside the next-generation Honda Fit/Jazz at a new production plant which opens in Mexico at the beginning of next year.
