<p>Honda Cars India is making a big move in the Indian market this summer. On 22 May 2026, the carmaker will host a major dual-launch event, unveiling the new Honda City facelift alongside the all-new ZR-V hybrid SUV. This strategic step is aimed at tackling a two-fold challenge: defending its position in the fiercely competitive midsize sedan segment while also making a serious entry into the premium SUV space with a sophisticated new flagship.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/nissan-open-to-honda-tie-up-in-india-renault-alliance-to-continue-123317/">Nissan Open to Honda Tie-Up in India; Renault Alliance to Continue?</a></p><p>With one model refreshing a trusted bestseller and the other bringing an entirely new premium offering, Honda’s summer strategy looks serious.</p><h2><strong>Honda City Facelift: Here's What to Expect</strong></h2><p>Starting with the City, Honda’s long-running sedan is due for its second facelift in fifth-generation form. The changes on the outside are expected to be subtle, which means revised headlights, updated tail-lamps, fresh bumpers, and new alloy wheels rather than a full design overhaul. Honda seems keen to keep the City’s familiar design intact while giving it enough freshness.</p><p>
      
    
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/01/1738129663706-kih9-2023-City.webp" alt="2023-City.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Where the real improvements should come is inside the cabin. The City has recently started feeling behind rivals like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/verna/">Hyundai Verna</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/volkswagen/virtus/">Volkswagen Virtus</a>, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/slavia/">Skoda Slavia</a> when it comes to features, and Honda seems ready to fix that. Expect additions like ventilated front seats, a powered driver’s seat, a larger touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, and possibly a 360-degree camera.</p><p>Honda is unlikely to alter the existing powertrain formula, which means the familiar petrol and hybrid options should continue unchanged. The current fifth-generation <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/city/">Honda City</a> is offered with a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that produces around 119bhp at 6,600rpm and 145Nm of torque, paired with either a manual or CVT gearbox. </p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Honda-City-Sport-interior-1750408065156.webp" alt="Honda-City-Sport-interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Honda also sells the stronger e:HEV hybrid version, which delivers a combined 124bhp and comes with a CVT gearbox. That should keep the City’s reputation for smooth drivability and fuel efficiency intact, while the expected cabin upgrades could make it feel more competitive against rivals that currently offer more tech and convenience features.</p><h2><strong>Honda ZR-V SUV: Here's What to Expect</strong></h2><p>Then there is the ZR-V, a model that could open an entirely new chapter for Honda in India. Expected to arrive as a full import, the ZR-V will sit above the Elevate and take on premium SUVs like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/volkswagen/tiguan/">Volkswagen Tiguan </a>and<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kodiaq/"> Skoda Kodiaq</a>. This will make it Honda’s most premium SUV offering in the country.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Honda-ZR-V-SUV-1777350180127.webp" alt="Honda ZR-V SUV.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Its crossover-inspired styling, smoother shape, and more premium proportions give it a very different identity from Honda’s current SUV line-up. Unlike the upright and practical approach of the Elevate, the ZR-V looks designed to appeal to buyers who want a more sophisticated and urban-focused SUV with added road presence.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Honda-ZR-V-SUV-Interior-1777350183705.webp" alt="Honda ZR-V SUV Interior.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The global-spec ZR-V already packs plenty of premium appeal with a large touchscreen, ADAS, powered seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a powered tailgate. For India,<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/"> Honda</a> is expected to bring in the 178bhp 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain paired with an e-CVT, which should make it a strong option.</p><p>With the City facelift aiming to stay one of India’s most complete sedans and the ZR-V stepping in as Honda’s premium <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV</a> flagship, 22 May could be a major moment for the Japanese brand. One launch strengthens a trusted name, while the other could finally give Honda the premium SUV it has been missing.<br></p>

Honda City Facelift, ZR-V SUV India Launch Scheduled for May 22

Honda Cars India will launch the facelifted City and all-new ZR-V SUV on 22 May 2026, with the updated sedan and premium CBU SUV expanding Honda’s India line-up.

<p>The design of the Honda Click 125, which is currently sold in international markets, has been patented in India, suggesting&nbsp;that the popular two-wheeler manufacturer is looking to expand its footprint in the crowded scooter segment.&nbsp;In India, the Click 125 could be a strong competitor to models such as the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/ntorq-125/"> TVS Ntorq 125,</a> <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/hero/xoom-125/">Hero Xoom 125</a>, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/suzuki/burgman-street-125/">Suzuki Burgman Street 125.</a> Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has not made any official announcement regarding&nbsp;the scooter’s launch, but it is anticipated that the Honda Click 125 could carry a starting price of around Rs 95,000. </p><p>Notably, HMSI had patented the Honda NS125 LA in India last year, which is yet to go on sale.&nbsp;At this stage, the Click 125 could remain just a patent filing and may not necessarily indicate an imminent launch. Nonetheless, we take a closer look at its design and features to understand what it could offer.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Honda-Click-125-1776252251600.webp" alt="Honda Click 125.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <h2><strong>Honda Click 125: Design and Features</strong></h2><p>The Honda Click 125 stands out with its sharp,  sporty, and aggressive styling cues, including angular body panels.&nbsp;It has an apron-mounted LED headlamp, a stepped single-piece seat, and a grab rail at the rear for the pillion.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/04/Honda-Click-125-int-cluster-1776252028567.webp" alt="Honda Click 125 int cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The scooter comes packed with an array of modern amenities, including a smart key with keyless start and  anti-theft system,&nbsp;14-inch alloy wheels, a digital console, and a  full LED setup.&nbsp;As for convenience, the scooter offers 18 litres of underseat storage, and a fuel tank of 5.5 litres. It measures 1,919mm in length and has a 1,280mm wheelbase. The seat height stands at 769mm, while the kerb weight is 111 kg.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Honda Click 125: Engine</strong></h2><p>The standard-spec <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/honda/">Honda </a>Click sold in the Philippines uses a 125cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC engine with Honda’s eSP technology to produce 11.07bhp at 8,500rpm and 11Nm&nbsp;of torque at 5,000rpm. The unit comes&nbsp;paired with a CVT automatic transmission. Hardware-wise,&nbsp;the scooter uses telescopic front suspension and a unit&nbsp;swing rear setup. Stopping power comes from&nbsp;a front disc and rear drum with a combi-brake system.</p>

Honda Click 125 Patent Filed in India, Could Rival Aprilia SR, Hero Xoom and More

The Honda Click 125 is already available in international markets such as Thailand and the Philippines. In India, it is expected to carry a starting price of around Rs 95,000. 

<p>Nissan Motor Corporation may finally be looking at a way to get back into the fight in India, and a possible partnership with Honda Motor Company could be the move it needs. This renewed interest follows the collapse of a proposed global partnership in early 2025, which fell through after both companies failed to agree on a final governance structure. The big focus is now expected to be on EV platforms, shared technology, software systems, and lower production costs. For Nissan, which currently has a small portfolio in India, working with Honda could mean faster launches of new SUVs, petrol cars, and affordable EVs.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-nissan-x-trail-debuts-globally-with-hybrid-e-power-system-123310/">New Nissan X-Trail Debuts Globally with Hybrid e-Power System</a></p><p>Speaking to the media, Ivan Espinosa, Nissan President and CEO, said the company is open to expanding its partnership with Honda as buyer preferences in India continue to change, though he noted there are no specific India-centric projects underway yet. Sharing components, standardising software and jointly sourcing parts could help both companies cut costs and improve efficiency.</p><p>For Nissan, this could be more than just another alliance. The company has struggled to build momentum in India in recent years, and Honda’s stronger presence and manufacturing network could help Nissan get new products to market quicker. That matters because Nissan is planning to expand its line-up with new SUVs like the Tekton and affordable EVs, while still keeping internal combustion engine models like the Gravite in the mix.</p><p>The talks are not limited to products alone. Nissan and Honda are also exploring the possibility of working together on autonomous driving tech and artificial intelligence. Developing these systems independently is expensive, so a shared approach could help both brands save money and speed up development for future models.</p><p>Industry analysts believe a formal Nissan-Honda tie-up could change the balance among Japanese carmakers in India and the wider South Asian market. Nissan already maintains a deep-rooted alliance with Renault, sharing a global CMF-B platform that underpins the upcoming Tekton and Gravite models. </p><p>While the Chennai manufacturing plant became a wholly-owned Renault subsidiary in 2025, it continues to produce Nissan vehicles under contract. Any new deal with Honda would sit alongside this existing partnership, providing Nissan the scale it needs to compete harder in India’s value-driven market.</p><p><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/industry/nissan-signals-openness-to-honda-collaboration-in-india-439453">Source</a></p>

Nissan Open to Honda Tie-Up in India; Renault Alliance to Continue?

Nissan is open to exploring a partnership with Honda in India to share technology, lower costs and improve future product plans.

<p>Honda Motorcycle &amp; Scooter India (HMSI) has confirmed a clear shift in its motorsport strategy, and this one stands out. The company is now entering the off-road racing space in India, with its focus moving towards rally and supercross formats. This change comes after the brand noticed a steady shift in rider interest, with more people leaning towards off-road and all-terrain riding. This move also brings HMSI closer to Honda’s global motorsport approach.&nbsp;Globally, Honda already competes in rally, motocross, and endurance racing. By introducing these formats in India, HMSI aims to match its international direction and support the growth of off-road racing in the country.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/honda-cancels-its-next-gen-evs-due-to-weak-demand-alpha-suv-for-india-still-on-the-cards-123106/">Honda Cancels Its Next-Gen EVs Due to Weak Demand; Alpha SUV for India Still on the Cards</a></p><p>HMSI has spent years in Indian motorsport. It started with the Honda One Make Race in 2008 and later became a part of the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship. The company also focused on rider training programmes, using machines like the NSF250R Moto3-spec bike to develop skills for track racing.</p><p>

Off-road racing is gaining attention because it is more accessible and easier for fans to connect with. Riders are also moving towards formats that offer varied terrain and different challenges. HMSI has recognised this trend and is now reshaping its racing programme to focus more on rally and supercross.</p><p>

HMSI is looking at expanding its motorcycle line-up with more adventure and off-road-focused models. With a race-to-road approach, the company plans to bring learnings from racing into its production bikes.</p><p>At the same time, HMSI wants to create new opportunities for Indian riders. With a proper off-road racing structure, riders will get a chance to move into international formats. Rally and supercross will help them build the skills needed to compete on a global level.</p>

Honda 2 Wheelers India to Enter Off-Road Racing

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India shifts focus to off-road racing in India, aligns with global strategy and plans new adventure bikes for the future.

<p>Honda has pulled the plug on three EVs for North America,&nbsp;including the 0 Series <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV</a>, 0 Series Saloon, and an Acura RSX crossover, due to ‘recent changes in the business environment’ and declining demand for electric vehicles.&nbsp;The company believes that launching these models in such conditions would likely 'result in further losses&nbsp;over the long term.' That said, the Japanese automaker remains optimistic about growth&nbsp;opportunities in India and plans to strengthen its lineup for the market. As a result,&nbsp;the 0 α (Alpha), positioned as the entry point to the 0 Series,&nbsp;is still on the cards.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/10/Honda-0-Î±-Electric-SUV-1-1761709922093.webp" alt="Honda 0 Î± Electric SUV 1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>There’s no official confirmation, but the Alpha SUV&nbsp;is expected to go on sale here sometime in early 2027, with estimated prices ranging between&nbsp;Rs 17 and Rs 30 lakh (both, ex-showroom).</p><h2><strong>Major Reasons Behind the Move</strong></h2><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Honda-0-SUV-1773394389033.webp" alt="Honda 0 SUV.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/">Honda’s </a>plan to achieve carbon neutrality&nbsp;by 2050 is facing multiple challenges across major markets. The demand for EVs in the U.S. has slowed due to easing fossil fuel regulations&nbsp;and revised federal incentives, while new tariffs have impacted the&nbsp;profitability of its gasoline and hybrid lineup.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Honda-0-Saloon-1773394432650.webp" alt="Honda 0 Saloon.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>Moreover,&nbsp;aggressive EV startups in China are intensifying competition with software-focused technologies and faster product development cycles.</p><h2><strong>Honda Bets More on Hybrids</strong></h2><p>To adapt to shifting market scenarios, Honda is reorganising its strategy with a stronger focus on hybrids. The Japanese brand will reassess EV investments in the U.S.&nbsp;while expanding its product lineup in growth markets&nbsp;like India. It also plans to boost competitiveness&nbsp;across Asia by introducing&nbsp;next-generation hybrid models.</p>

Honda Cancels Its Next-Gen EVs Due to Weak Demand; Alpha SUV for India Still on the Cards

Honda believes that launching the 0 Series SUV, 0 Series Saloon, and an Acura RSX in such market conditions would likely 'result in further losses over the long term.'

<p>Honda has revealed the new fourth-generation Insight, and the well-known name now enters the electric era. The latest <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/">Honda</a> Insight arrives as an all-electric crossover developed for the Japanese market, replacing the hybrid sedan that carried the badge earlier. Production of the third-generation Insight sedan ended in 2022, and this new model marks a major shift in the nameplate’s direction. Honda has repositioned the Insight to fit into its global electrification strategy while also responding to the growing demand for crossover body styles. Instead of continuing with a traditional <a href="https://www.autox.com/sedan-cars-in-india/">sedan</a> layout, the brand has introduced a battery-powered crossover that blends electric performance with practical design. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/government-mandates-e20-petrol-with-ron-95-minimum-from-april-1-heres-all-you-need-to-know-123002/">Government Mandates E20 Petrol with RON 95 Minimum From April 1 – Here's All You Need to Know</a></p><p>The new Insight also promises a WLTC driving range of over 500km, making it one of the notable additions to Honda’s expanding electric vehicle line-up.</p><h2><strong>New Honda Insight: Design</strong></h2><p>In terms of design, the new Honda Insight adopts a coupe-style crossover profile with a shark-nose front section and a closed grille. A full-width light bar links the slim LED headlights, while vertical boomerang-shaped daytime running lamps extend into the bumper area. The front fascia also features an illuminated Honda logo along with a large central air intake and a splitter-style lower lip.</p><p>

The roofline slopes towards the rear and connects with a raked C-pillar, giving the crossover a sleek look. At the back, the Insight features vertical tail lamps along with a full-width light guide across the boot lid. Large alloy wheels and a lower, wider stance help the crossover stand apart from traditional<a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/"> SUVs</a>.</p><h2><strong>New Honda Insight: Interior</strong></h2><p>Inside the cabin, Honda has opted for a minimalist wrap-around layout. The dashboard features a 12.8-inch central touchscreen paired with a 9.4-inch digital instrument cluster. </p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/New-Honda-Insight-EV-Interior-1772780876221.webp" alt="New Honda Insight EV Interior.png" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Most functions are integrated into the infotainment system, while the heated steering wheel retains physical switches for key controls. The cabin also includes a fragrance system, a 12-speaker Bose sound setup, and a head-up display.</p><h2><strong>New Honda Insight: Powertrain</strong></h2><p>Powering the new Honda Insight EV is a front-mounted electric motor that produces 310Nm of torque. Honda claims a driving range of over 500km on the WLTC cycle, supported by a battery pack that also allows bi-directional charging. Drivers can switch between Sport, Normal, Econ, and Snow drive modes, while regenerative braking can be adjusted through paddles behind the steering wheel.</p><p>

Sales in Japan will begin in the coming weeks.</p>

New Honda Insight Breaks Cover as All-Electric Crossover with 500km Range

Honda Insight debuts as an electric crossover with a coupe-style design, shark-nose front, full-width light bars, and a sleek cabin layout with large displays.

<p>The much-hyped Aston Martin-Honda partnership hasn't exactly hit the ground running. While the Adrian Newey-designed AMR26 was meant to be the poster child for the 2026 F1 regulations, its performance during testing in Barcelona and Bahrain felt less like a title charge and more like a very expensive salvage operation. With just 334 laps logged across six days in Bahrain Pre-season test, the lowest on the grid, the team spent more time watching engineers hover over laptops than they did watching Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll clip an apex. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-india-race-soon-adani-group-reveals-plans-for-grand-prix-at-buddh-circuit-122982/">F1 India Race Soon? Adani Group Reveals Plans for Grand Prix at Buddh Circuit</a></p><p>While rivals are out there harvesting data to decode the new regulations, being stuck in the garage with the floor off is a bad look for a team that has reportedly poured USD 200 million into its state-of-the-art Silverstone campus and poached the grid’s top engineering talent like Adrian Newey, Enrico Cardile, Andy Cowell and more.</p><h2>F1: Honda Power Unit Reliability</h2><p>The core of the issue is the new Honda ‘RA626H’ power unit. A recurring battery failure has been the main culprit, repeatedly leaving the car stranded like a high-tech paperweight. It hit rock bottom when Alonso, a man who could probably drag a shopping cart to a podium, triggered a red flag after a total electrical shutdown. A shortage of PU components meant the team was relegated to 'installation laps', the F1 equivalent of driving to the shops with the check-engine light on and praying for the best.</p><p>

Lance Stroll didn't do much for morale when he admitted the car is significantly off the pace, with telemetry suggesting the Honda engine is struggling with energy harvesting and nasty high-rev vibrations.  </p><h2>F1: New in-House Gearbox</h2><p>Adding to the headache is the fact that the team is juggling its first-ever in-house gearbox and rear suspension. Trying to fit Adrian Newey’s tight aero packaging around a brand-new drivetrain is a massive gamble that hasn't paid off yet. The gearbox has reportedly struggled with the aggressive downshifts needed for energy recovery, and could have been responsible for Lance Stroll’s dramatic spin into the gravel trap at Turn 11 on day 1 of the final pre-season test in Bahrain.</p><p>

They have to lock in the hardware before the cars land in Australia. Right now, the Silverstone squad is in total damage-limitation mode. The goal for the season opener is no longer a trophy, it’s just getting the car to survive 58 laps without any mechanical failure. If they can manage that, it’ll be the biggest win Honda has had all winter.</p>
