2019 Honda HR-V pricing and specs
Honda's compact crossover has been refreshed for 2019, headlined by the standard inclusion of AEB and new RS model.
Honda has revealed pricing and specs for its revised HR-V SUV range, set to kick off at $24,990 before on-roads.
There will be four models in the HR-V range: VTi, VTi-S, RS and VTi-LX. Power comes from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol making 105kW and 172Nm, hooked exclusively to the front wheels through a continuously-variable transmission regardless of trim, as was previously the case.
The base VTi kicks off at $24,990 before on-road costs, and includes LED daytime-running lights, remote keyless entry, single-zone climate control, along with base-model trimmings like a plastic steering wheel and gear knob. Rounding out the standard kit are 16-inch alloy wheels, and the inclusion of city-speed autonomous emergency braking (up to 30km/h).
Jumping to the VTi-S at $27,990 before on-roads adds new 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights with LED fog-lights, chrome interior trim and push-button start, along with a more upmarket leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear-knob.
Honda has added the sport-styled RS variant (pictured) to the HR-V range from August 1, priced from $31,990 before on-roads including metallic paint. Honda has ditched the VTi-L for the RS, which is designed to deliver a sportier feeling than offered elsewhere in the range with a new variable electric power steering system.
On the outside, there are 18-inch alloy wheels, a black chrome grille and a honeycomb lower grille, black mirror caps, dark chrome door handles, a black body kit and rear privacy glass. Inside, there's leather seats (heated up front), a sports steering wheel and sports pedals, along with the requisite RS badging.
Topping the range is the VTi-LX, priced from $34,590 (+$750) excluding on-roads. It gains chrome exterior trim and a panoramic sunroof, along with niceties like automatic windows, LED interior lighting, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Honda offers its Advanced Driver Safety System standard on the top-spec car, with forward-collision warning, auto high-beam, and lane-departure warning.
LaneWatch, which displays the picture from a mirror-mounted camera on the central screen when the driver flicks on their indicator, is standard from VTi-S upwards. Regardless of model, there's a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with built-in satellite navigation. Smartphone mirroring isn't featured, unfortunately.
The revised HR-V line-up will be in dealerships from August 1.
