The all-new Honda HR-V will arrive in Spain in October, priced from €22,350

Last August Honda announced the facelift of the small SUV in its range, the HR-V, with changes that are not especially profound but that do serve to update its exterior and interior look in particular. Perhaps the main news, however, lies in the mechanical section, since the all-new Honda HR-V will not offer diesel engines, at least for the time being at launch.

Starting with the exterior changes, as a reminder, the Honda HR-V now features a more modern exterior from whichever angle you look at it, thanks first of all to the new bumpers that subtly modify its styling with a new front grille, more pronounced air intakes, new fog lights and rear light cluster, all finished off with chrome detailing. In addition, new 17-inch alloy wheels are fitted and two new body colours are added: Midnight Blue Beam Metallic and Platinum White.

The interior also sees changes, but these do not affect the design; instead they focus on improving its quality. To this end, new seats have been fitted, as well as higher-quality upholstery; together with new and better materials and finishes throughout the rest of the cabin.

In Spain the Honda HR-V will be offered in three trim levels, with the entry version being the Comfort trim, followed by the Elegance Navi and Executive versions, which come with more standard equipment. If we opt for the Elegance Navi, we find as standard features such as a rear-view camera, the Honda Connect system with built-in Garmin navigation, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed limiter and lane departure warning. If, however, we go for the Executive version, we add to the above keyless entry and start system Smart Entry, LED front headlights and fog lights, a panoramic opening sunroof, mixed fabric-leather upholstery and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Mechanically, only the naturally aspirated 1,500 cc i-VTEC petrol engine will be available at launch, which delivers 130 CV of power and a maximum torque of 155 Nm. In the Comfort version this engine can only be paired with the six-speed manual gearbox, whereas in the Elegance Navi and Executive versions the CVT transmission can be fitted as an option. Taking the CVT transmission as the reference and already under WLTP certification, this engine achieves a combined consumption of 5.3 l/100 km, while CO2 emissions will be around 121 g/km.

The all-new Honda HR-V will reach Spanish dealerships next October, with a 5-year warranty across the whole range and no mileage limit, at prices structured as follows:
