Honda has revealed its European-market HR-V ahead of the vehicle’s premiere at the Paris Motor Show next month. The HR-V Prototype, as it’s badged, features a similar front end to the US-market version of the Vezel that was announced back in April.
While the front grille layout is identical, the Euro variant of the small SUV gets different styled headlamps, and it also wears different design five-spoke alloys.
Also different, the side mirror design, and that’s not all – there is also a marginal difference in how the Euro and Chinese-market version’s side mirrors are styled. The Chinese model, called the XR-V, gets a totally different face, with a more padded front, as well as a different wheel.
No mention of powertrain options for the continent – the Vezel runs with a regular L15A 1.5 litre engine (with CVT) as well as a new 1.5 litre Sport Hybrid i-DCD system in its domestic market, while the Chinese XR-V features 1.5 and 1.8 litre units, paired with manual or CVT ‘boxes. More when it debuts in Paris.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The 1.8L version should be interesting if they decide to launch it here.
front looking good, as for the tail light like always wanna pandai pandai hand itchy wanna add on one down curve on the tail light otherwise it will be good looking without the down curve part. remember the previous model accord, same thing hand itchy go and add on the tail light. we call this “lebih” one…power of dream sudah lah, wanna dream lebih lebih pulak..
Still waiting for the Indo launch so we can get more news on our own local launch…that is if it’s coming here to compete with the EcoSport and 2008.
The 2008 has the best interior and looks good but the price is a tad too expensive and ground clearance ain’t good too.
The EcoSport on the other hand has good ground clearance and spec to price is good too but the quality is questionable and the rear boot opening is a no no in our tight parking areas.
Now we have this Honda that looks to address the problems of both models with the correct pricing I hope.
1.5cc with price below RM90K please … then I register my sales !
L15A? bagi la L15B!
Wow this look is unbeatable, awesome !!!
Oh my.. hold all purchases.
please launch it here with full spec…(cruise control airbag etc)
Yep, still not here
If priced below RM110K with good spec… I’m 101% take one…
If the otr price is above 100k, better wait for the new nissan xtrail…
X-trail competes with the Crv, why compare? Pricing should be different too. This is comparable to the Qashqai, I think.
sexxay!
i think it looks abit like the Mazda CX-5, it looks nice if the price is attractive when it launch in our shore.
awaiting HRV, this europe version look nicer,hope our local market can get it beg of next year with good price n full spec.
Is that passenger aircon the whole way through?
Gonna be nicely ice cold
