Honda Cars Cebu Inc. (HCCI) launched on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, the all-new HR-V subcompact crossover at its dealership along A. Soriano Avenue at the North Reclamation Area here.
The next-generation HR-V is available in two variants, the base model S and the top-spec V. The S variant will carry a 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine, while the V gets a 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine. Both will be paired with a continuous variable transmission (CVT).
Outside, the HR-V looks sleeker than its predecessor, launched last June 2015.
Upfront, the all-new HR-V boasts sleeker headlights paired with an aggressive sporty grille that carries the Honda badge.
Like its previous edition, rear door handles are integrated into the C-pillar for that two-door illusion. It complements the sloping roofline that gives the crossover a coupe look.
Unified taillights top off its exterior for a modern look at the rear.
According to HCCI officials, the HR-V's highlight is its safety features that boast of the "Honda Sensing," which will be available in both variants.
This system gives the subcompact crossover a host of driver-assist and safety features. Such as a collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control with low speed follow lane-keeping assist system, and road departure mitigation system with lane departure warning, auto high-beam, and lead car departure notification system.
All these are in line with Honda's goal for a collision-free society by 2050.
Those who want to check out the HR-V can visit the Cebu City dealership along A. Soriano Avenue or the Mandaue dealership along AS Fortuna Street in Mandaue City.
