Honda will be adding a new mid-size SUV to its lineup to compete with rivals like the Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos as SUVs become increasingly popular in the nation. With features like automatic climate control, wireless charging, infotainment system, fully digital instrument console, push-button start, sunroof, and more, this new Honda mid-size SUV will have the same engine choices as the Honda City 5th Gen. This year, the company is most likely to introduce this new SUV before the holiday season.
