The subcompact crossover came to the Philippine market to complement the brand's compact crossover offering, the CR-V. The Honda HR-V was launched back in June of 2015. This combination delivers exhilarating driving performance while also delivering good fuel economy when driving in and out of the city in the Philippines. This mill comes with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Meanwhile, the base model gets a 1.5-liter naturally-aspirated motor with 119 hp and 150 Nm of torque.
Under the hood is Honda’s 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine that delivers a maximum power output of 174 hp and 240 Nm of torque for the top-of-the-line V Turbo variant. Sporty 17-inch Alloy wheels also come standard across the range in varying designs and colors depending on the model. Upfront, the HR-V has a solid wing face design with a large grille and lights, incorporating LED daytime running lights (DRL) and LED dual projector headlights. It also boasts a wide tailgate, generous cargo space, and the same Utility, Long, and Tall (ULT) seats found on the Jazz, making it extremely configurable when loading or unloading cargo.
The car is designed to give drivers the personal feeling of a coupe, the comfort of a sedan, and the toughness and confidence of an SUV. With a name that means High Rider Vehicle, it's an all-around vehicle for people looking for a car with great road visibility, high ground clearance, and full safety features. The HR-V is a new-generation subcompact crossover for the local market from Honda Cars Philippines, Inc.
