2015 Honda HR-V : Pricing and specifications

The new-generation Honda HR-V will be priced from $24,990 before on-road costs when it arrives in Australian showrooms early next month.


Honda’s long-awaited compact SUV range features three trim levels: entry-spec VTi, mid-grade VTi-S ($27,990) and range-topping VTi-L ($32,990) – the latter available with an active safety package for $1000. (A specification breakdown highlighting the differences between model grades can be found below.)

All three are powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 105kW at 6500rpm and 172Nm at 4300rpm, and are available exclusively with an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Honda’s decision not to offer a manual transmission means the HR-V has a higher starting price than most rivals, though compared with rival automatics – Ford EcoSport Ambiente $22,790, Peugeot 2008 Active $24,990, Holden Trax LS $26,190, Mitsubishi ASX LS $26,990 – it’s a more level playing field.

The VTi base model seems reasonably equipped, coming standard with alloy wheels, climate control, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen with reverse-view camera and Honda's Display Audio system with Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming.

Honda Australia director Stephen Collins labelled the HR-V “incredible value”, and says the brand is “confident this vehicle will be well placed to battle it out in this highly competitive segment”.

CarAdvice is attending the Australian launch of the Honda HR-V in Tasmania on February 10 and 11, so stay tuned for our first-drive review.
