Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) is set to launch the new HR-V on March 9, 2025. The new HR-V is the third and latest addition to Honda’s full hybrid offerings in the country and solidifies the company’s commitment to improving the people’s way of life by reducing their carbon footprint.
The top-spec new Honda HR-V is now powered by a 1.5 e:HEV engine that produces 106 PS and 127 Nm torque and two electric motors (one for propulsion and one that serves as a generator) that put out 131 PS and 253 Nm torque. Estimated fuel consumption is approximately 23 km/L (based on UN-R101). Multiple driving modes include eco, normal, and sport mode. Meanwhile, the ICE-propelled variants are equipped with a 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) . The S and V variants produce 121 PS and 145 Nm torque.
The front grille and bumper on the RS e:HEV variant are designed with sporty chrome mesh and a sporty-type bumper with a red amp-up line. Promoting a more active lifestyle, the new HR-V features hands-free assist, which opens the tailgate with a kicking motion under the bumper and automatically closes when one walks away. Now equipped with Lane Watch, drivers of the V and RS e:HEV variants get enhanced passenger-side visibility, reducing blind spots for safer lane changes. On rainy days, auto rain-sensing wipers adjust wiper speed based on detected moisture. Auto-reverse tilt mirrors aid in better curb and parking visibility. New 18-inch tires with black and silver alloy wheels are also available on the V variant.
Inside, the HR-V provides great comfort, convenience, and style. All variants are built with ULT seats, which allow the owner to adjust the rear seats for maximum storage and flexibility. For the RS e:HEV, the dual-zone automatic air conditioning allows both the driver and passenger to adjust temperature and airflow separately for personalized comfort. Convenience features include wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for all variants and a wireless charger for the V and RS e:HEV variants.
Strengthening Honda’s commitment to a collision-free society by 2050, all variants of the New Honda HR-V are equipped with Honda SENSING, which now comes with improved cameras. These safety features make the new HR-V one of the safest cars on the road:
