The Honda HR-V SUV has undergone an impressive revamp.
This is the refreshed Honda HR-V which, the firm says, is the most sophisticated subcompact SUV it has made to date.
The new model features interior and exterior updates and the addition of advanced technologies.
There’s a new high gloss chrome panel above the grille and deeper air intake sections along with new headlights.
The exterior revamp also sees the tailgate receive a new chrome finish with new rear lights.
Engines from launch for the Honda HR-V
The engines from launch for the Honda HR-V will be the efficient 1.5 litre i-VTEC petrol unit which produces 130 PS with torque of 155Nm. The engine offers decent performance and will reach 62 mph in 10 seconds.
Fuel economy for the petrol unit is around 53 mpg and emissions are 121g/km.
The noise levels have also been improved, so the cabin is not just a quiet place to enjoy the vehicle’s performance but the refinement levels have also been boosted.
Honda says it has restructured the boot and revised the vehicle’s rear and front door panels.
Some Honda HR-V models have active noise cancellation
To help boost noise insulation, some Honda HR-V models are equipped with active noise cancellation, which is a first for the HR-V.
The system works by using two microphones in the cabin to reduce low frequency noise by cancelling this out with audio signals from the cabin’s speakers.

Deliveries for the new Honda HR-V will begin from October with the new 1.5 litre i-VTEC variants being the first to arrive.
Later, a sportier, more dynamic HR-V, featuring a 1.5 litre turbocharged VTEC engine will be offered alongside a 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel unit.
There’s no doubt that the new Honda HR-V has an elegant new look with lots more comfort and quality features throughout, including high-grade seats that have been reshaped to boost comfort so it will be a great choice for drivers.
