Honda HR-V facelift revealed in Japan

A few days back, images of the Honda HR-V facelift were leaked online. Honda has now released the first official images of the updated HR-V crossover. It is set to debut in the Japanese market on February 15, 2018 where it is sold under the Vezel badge.

The revised HR-V gets a tweaked front end that incorporates a new grille with a thick chrome bar and a large Honda logo in the centre. It features new triangular LED headlights with integrated LED DRLs and a new front bumper with re-profiled fog lamp pods. Higher variants get LED fog lamps, while circular halogen lamps are likely to be offered on the lower variants.

Honda hasn't released images of the interior but according to media reports, the HR-V facelift will be offered with the safety and driver assistance systems (Honda Sensing) on higher trims in addition to an updated infotainment system. It is likely to have features like satellite navigation and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

Honda is yet to confirm the engines that will be offered on the HR-V facelift but reports suggest that the current range of engines will be carried over unchanged. These include a 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre petrol hybrid, 1.8-litre petrol and a 1.6-litre diesel.

The Honda HR-V is expected to be launched in India sometime in the future however the carmaker hasn't made any announcement regarding the same.
