When the facelifted Honda HR-V was launched two weeks in the pastit was solely proven in range-topping e:HEV RS trim, with no petrol variants current. Fortunately, Sumber Auto Edaran, a vendor in Part 13, Petaling Jaya, had a unit of the 1.5 Turbo V for us to take a look at, and we realised there may need been a motive for the ICE fashions being hidden from view till now.
No, it’s not the value – at RM137,900the V is a not-insignificant RM6,000 cheaper than the RS, and whereas it’s vastly dearer than the bottom RM115,900 S, the turbocharged engine and several other bits of added equipment appear to be price it.
It’s not the aforementioned engine, both, which is a returning 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo four-cylinder making 181 PS at 6,600 rpm and 240 Nm of torque from 1,700 and 4,500 rpm. All that is despatched to the entrance wheels by way of a CVT as all the time, enabling it to get from zero to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds on its method to a high velocity of 200 km/h. Gasoline consumption, in the meantime, is rated at 6.5 litres per 100 km.
As an alternative, it’s most likely the seems to be. The V does obtain many of the design adjustments of the facelift, together with the mildly re-profiled entrance bumper and flatter hexagonal grille, in addition to the bodykit that’s unique to the Turbo and e:HEV variants – replete with the returning “heartbeat” trim on the entrance air consumption. Twin seen exhausts (Turbo solely) and the two-tone end for the range-topping 18-inch alloys (V and RS solely, once more launched on the refresh) are additionally fitted.
Nonetheless, the petrol fashions lose out on the important thing enchancment on the facelifted HR-V – matrix LED headlights with centre-mounted projectors, enabling energetic cornering lights and adaptive excessive beam. These are unique to the RS, which means that the remainder of the vary retains the earlier LED reflectors.
Maybe an much more obtrusive omission are the brand new taillights. The outdated ones seen listed here are nonetheless full-width, however they lose out the illuminated centre strips that give the RS mannequin a a lot sleeker look. This has the added impact of constructing the brand new petrol fashions nigh-on indistinguishable from the older automobile from the rear.
Additional objects have been docked off the inside, which retain the brand new slimline (nonetheless non-OEM, however not resembling a CRT tv) eight-inch touchscreen head unit – now with wi-fi Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – together with USB-C charging ports and the symmetrical centre console (changing the outdated “wraparound” piece) with a bigger “shelf” sitting above the smartphone storage space.
Right here, the V loses out on the RS’ Qi wi-fi charger in that telephone storage slot, in addition to dual-zone air conditioning, auto wipers and RS-specific alloy pedals and seat emblem embossing. You do, nevertheless, nonetheless get the brand new auto-retractable aspect mirrors, eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather-based upholstery and eight audio system. A hands-free powered tailgate, beforehand unique to the RS, has now additionally been prolonged to the V.
Different commonplace equipment on the V consists of sequential indicators, entrance and rear fog lights, keyless entry with walk-away auto lock, distant engine begin, paddle shifters, a seven-inch part-digital instrument show, Honda’s trademark rear Extremely Seats and a reverse digicam. Six airbags, the Honda LaneWatch digicam and the Honda Sensing suite of driver assists – together with autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise management with cease and go, lane centring help, entrance departure alert and auto excessive beam are additionally fitted.
