Honda UR-V leaked online as the mid-size model is expected to be the Japanese automaker’s fourth crossover in 2016 after Avancier, new CR-V and WR-V
Honda is preparing to introduce another mid-size crossover to its line-up christened as UR-V, and images of the car have been leaked online. If unveiled this year, it will be the Japanese automaker’s fourth crossover in 2016 after Avancier, all-new CR-V and WR-V. The car is likely to be exclusively available in Chinese market only.
Honda UR-V shares its design with several modern Honda cars. The headlamps and front grille reminds us about all-new Honda Accord. The crossover features sleek, wide and sharp LED headlamps, while front grille gets a larger appearance with V shape look and a thick chrome bar. Front bumper looks muscular and stylish with sleek air intake, chrome trims at fog lamp enclosures and LED fog lamps.

While Honda UR-V shares several design elements with Avancier, expect interior of the car to sport similarity as well.

This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and churns out 268 hp of peak power and 370 Nm of peak torque. Expect the car to come equipped with AWD, which enables it for some serious off-roading task as well.
