NBC News - January 15, 2013

As the indus?try moves toward smaller vehi?cles with bet?ter fuel econ?omy, small crossovers like the Honda Urban can be seen at the Detroit Auto Show.

Find out what?s com?ing down the tube for auto shoppers.

The North Amer?i?can Inter?na?tional Auto Show is expected to be dom?i?nated by sub?com?pact and com?pact SUVs and crossovers.

Two years after end?ing pro?duc?tion of the inten?tion?ally ugly-duckling boxy Ele?ment, Honda showed the Urban SUV Con?cept, a thinly dis?guised look at a new small crossover that will slot in below the CR-V in the Honda lineup at the Detroit auto show. Key com?peti?tors will be the quirky Nis?san Juke and the Fiat 500L, a super?size ver?sion of the diminu?tive Fiat?500.

Honda said the Urban will use its Earth Dreams Tech?nol?ogy for increased fuel effi?ciency. Inside, it will fea?ture a lay?out that is sim?i?lar to the Fit, includ?ing its trick Mag?ic?Seat, which can be con?fig?ured for a vari?ety of pas?sen?ger and cargo options. Honda did not show the vehicle?s inte?rior, but said it will be mod?ern and fea?ture the lat?est telem?at?ics technology.
