This well-disguised vehicle, spotted testing at the dead of night in the California desert, is Honda’s new large crossover vehicle.

Designed as a rival to BMW’s X6 and the like, the vehicle is aimed at the market occupied in the US by the Infiniti FX50.

As the forthcoming new version of the FX50 is due to come to the UK, Honda’s SUV could follow it across the pond.

More details on the Japanese machine are scant at the moment, but under its disguise expect a large crossover for those wanting coupé-style looks mixed with the go-anywhere ability of a 4x4 SUV.
