Honda Is Working Hard on a New SUV Called Civic Cross, the Manufacturer’s Idea Is to Compete with Toyota’s Corolla Cross

In addition to working hard on the ZR-V project, which is pointed as the direct successor to the WR-V, Honda is also striving to develop another SUV, important to retire the Corolla Cross. According to media reports from Japan, this is a mid-size SUV developed to fill a gap between the HR-V and the CR-V. Honda’s model is expected to launch around next year and will base its architecture on the Civic. The model has been informally referred to as Civic Cross, due to its mission to directly rival its compatriot Toyota Corolla Cross.

The expectation is that the historic rivalry between the two sedan models will resume, but now in the SUV market. The project is strategic for Honda’s expansion plans and is closely following market movements. As mentioned earlier, the aim is for the new SUV to have an intermediate positioning in the lineup.

The expected dimensions are about 4,500 mm in length, 1,625 mm in height, and 1,800 mm in width. For comparison, the ninth-generation HR-V measures 4,340 mm in length, 1,582 mm in height, and 1,790 mm in width, while the larger CR-V boasts 4,635 mm in length, 1,679 mm in height, and 1,855 mm in width.

Unveiled at the beginning of the year, the new generation of the Civic is already packing its bags to come to Brazil. The model was recently spotted for the first time undergoing tests in the national territory.

The launch in Brazil has already been confirmed by the brand and is expected in the second half of next year. As anticipated, the model will come to Brazil as an import, concluding a production cycle of over 20 years and at least four different generations.

The brand itself has already announced that the current model will cease production in Sumaré (SP) this December, closing a manufacturing cycle for the first vehicle produced nationally by Honda.

Meet the Corolla Cross

Recently, Toyota presented the Corolla Cross, the first SUV produced in Brazil. The model comes from the naturally aspirated engine school, where the 2.0 flex offers a power of up to 177 horsepower and a torque of 21.4 kgfm.

Additionally, the model features engines combined with a CVT automatic transmission, simulating 10 gears. The Corolla Cross can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 10.1 seconds and its prices are around R$ 164,190.
