Well, with the ever increasing popularity among the buyers for this car, it is obvious to have a next generation model.

According to the Autocar India, the company has already commenced working on this new-gen variant that might get launched in the year 2021. Besides, nothing has been revealed officially by the company yet, it might get disclosed any soon. Currently, Honda is offering the seven-seater variant in the similar segment i.e. BR-V. There is also a list of cars available in the local market that has an option for seven occupants, but not in the same segment, namely Scorpio, XUV 500, Nuvosport, TUV 300, Toyota Innova, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga among the others.
