Honda Indonesia is rapidly expanding its SUV portfolio and the company will be unveiling an all-new subcompact SUV later this week.

The new offering will reportedly be called the Honda ZR-V and is expected to be a trendy offering positioned below the recently launched new generation BR-V in the market.

We do expect to see familiar Honda design language with an upright front grille, the big H in the centre and LED headlamps with LED DRLs. The teaser also promises a raked rear windscreen and LED taillights with a signature pattern. Reports suggest that Honda could bring a performance friendly RS model as well for Indonesia on the same lines as the Civic RS. Little is known about the engine options and transmission choices on the upcoming Honda ZR-V. The model could get the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with manual and CVT gearbox options. It's unclear at the moment if Honda India plans to bring the model here in the future. Given how popular the subcompact SUV segment is at large, we do hope Honda considers the same. More details will be available as GIIAS, so make sure to keep watching this space for all the action.
