The long-awaited all-new Honda HR-V will finally make its formal debut on Friday, according to Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL), which recently teased the crossover in a Facebook post and confirmed the unveiling.

Honda Pakistan will offer two versions of the HR-V, the VTi and VTi S. The 1.5-liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine in the base model will produce 119 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. A 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine with 179 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque will power the second model.

According to details, the Honda HR-V VTi is anticipated to cost between Rs6.3 and Rs6.5 million. The top variant would cost approximately Rs6.7 million.

If this pricing is accurate, the Honda HR-V will be a fierce competitor for crossover SUVs that are already on the market. As Pakistani car buyers may favour a crossover over a pricey sedan, sales of Honda Civic and crossover SUVs from other automakers could also have a little impact.

The sources have also stated that because bookings would begin immediately after the launch, the delivery of this car will begin in November 2022.

Here are the features that the impending crossover may offer:

  • Traction control 
  • Hill start assist 
  • Stability control  
  • Dual tone side view mirrors + roof
  • Body coloured & black front grille
  • Automatic climate control 
  • Honda Sense
  • Four airbags

For those who are unaware, the Honda HR-V is not a brand-new sight in Pakistan; local auto dealers have been offering hybrid versions of this vehicle, which are originally imported from Japan.
