Honda plans to launch a SUV model next year in India
Japanese automaker Honda, which has a strong presence in the sedan segment, is now turning its focus on the fast-growing SUV market in the country with plans to launch a sports utility vehicle (SUV) model next year.
The company is currently in the process of developing the model. "We are recognising the market movement (towards SUVs). It is a global phenomenon so we are surely taking notice of that. Globally, we have a presence in the segment and we are considering what is best for India. We are planning an SUV model and plan to introduce it next year," Honda Cars India president and CEO Takuya Tsumura said.
Last year the automaker had confirmed that it was in the process of developing an India specific SUV.
When asked if the company would look at launching more than one SUV models in the market, he said, "We cannot disclose that right now but of course we always think about future models... looking at what needs to be done."
