Honda recently held a private meeting in Las Vegas to preview upcoming vehicle models to its dealer network. The company plans to launch the seventh-generation CR-V next summer, which will feature a hybrid-only powertrain and a 15.4-inch touchscreen in higher trims. Honda expects annual sales for this model to exceed 400,000 units in the United States.
The manufacturer confirmed the return of the Element, expected to enter production in Q2 2029. The new SUV will likely be a hybrid crossover with boxy proportions and rear-hinged doors, targeting a production volume of 100,000 vehicles in its first full year. The design is intended to appeal to younger urban buyers.
Other updates include a substantial facelift for the Accord, scheduled for the second half of 2027, and a redesigned Ridgeline pickup arriving in 2028. The new Ridgeline will feature a more rugged aesthetic, while a separate body-on-frame pickup based on the Mitsubishi Triton is also planned for 2028 for specific Asian markets.
A next-generation Pilot is also in development, featuring a revised design with triangular lighting elements. While Honda showcased these future models to retailers, the company has not yet released official images or technical specifications for the upcoming lineup.
