thewest.com.au

Honda revealed a new modular mid-size platform designed to improve handling and a V6 hybrid system for its large vehicles. The platform, debuting in 2027, is lighter and engineered to allow body flex for better tire load control. The V6 hybrid will offer 10% faster acceleration and 30% better fuel efficiency than current V6 engines. This V6 hybrid is confirmed for North American and Middle Eastern markets, with production also starting in 2027. The mid-size platform is expected to appear in Australian models, but the V6 hybrid is unlikely to be offered there.
