Honda Unveils the SUV RS Concept- Previews the ZR-V

Honda teased a new crossover SUV during the unveiling of the second generation BR-V back in September and has now revealed it as a near production-ready concept called SUV RS at the 2021 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). As reported, the production version of the SUV RS will take shape as Honda ZR-V which will take on the likes of Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky compact SUVs primarily in the Southeast Asian region.

Featuring a very attractive & youthful design, the SUV RS concept features sharp LED headlights that flow into a checkered mesh grille, on top of which is what looks like a slim chromic rendering of Honda’s signature solid wing design. The front bumper gets down-turned air intake and triangular vertical inlets on either side. Towards the back there are full-width “dotted” taillights and well-sculpted rear bumper. Rest is all what any typical crossover gets such as rugged trim pieces, front and rear skid plates, black wheel arches, body cladding, and a pair of faux roof rails. Interior has not been unveiled at this stage.

Reportedly, the production model (ZR-V) will also come rich in features & safety equipment with Honda Sensing suite including autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
