Honda HR-V – Brazilian version shown, Q1 2015 debut

Honda HR-V Brasil-04

Honda South America Ltda has released a small gallery of the production Honda HR-V for the Brazilian market, which will be shown at the upcoming Sao Paulo motor show. Honda is planning to launch the HR-V in Brazil in the first quarter of next year.

The Brazil-market HR-V will be powered by a 1.8 litre flex fuel engine (ethanol blend compatability is a must in South America’s largest market) combined with a CVT gearbox. The SOHC i-VTEC four-pot is said to offer both driving performance that’s equivalent to cars in the class above, and fuel economy.

Honda is progessively introducing the HR-V in the world’s biggest markets – we’ve already seen the JDM Vezel, US-market HR-V, China’s XR-V with a unique face, the European HR-V with i-DTEC power and of course, our ASEAN HR-V that made its debut at the 2014 Indonesian International Motor Show.

Two engines will be offered in Indonesia, a 120 PS/145 Nm 1.5 litre from the City and Jazz, and a 1.8 litre pushing 139 PS and 169 Nm. Both are paired to a CVT, but the smaller engine can be had with a five-speed manual in the Republic, where local production will be starting in January 2015.

Will the HR-V that’s coming to Malaysia in the near future mirror the Indonesian car’s specs and variants? Go ahead and have a preview of sorts by checking out our IIMS 2014 report and pics.

    These HR-V photos are always teasing us Malaysians. When lah launch in Malaysia? Why always last to get these babies?

    These babies look so much better than Ford Ecosport.

      Urm we use these type of vehicles to ferry people and not to race so the engines offered are more than enough IMHO.

      If you want fast SUV/SAVs then you gotta fork out cold hard cash to own vehicles such as the X4 and Macan. Else line up like the rest of us to buy one of these to fetch our families.

    —————————-

    Soo under estimate the 1.5cc & 1.8cc. Are you comparing to a sport car?

    Toyota Rush/avanza with 1.5cc can carry 7 persons. So what type of power you need? 150HP or 200HP?

      TOYOTA badly needs to use the new Corolla platform to come up with a Honda HRV type of vehicle with a turbo charged engine with minimum 150 BHP. The RAV 4 is too big and just is’nt there for young customer needs.

      Cik, kalo nak patriotik pun, janganlah patriotik membabi buta. Proton pun kene berusaha untuk memperbaiki mutu kereta dan khidmat lepas jual-beli. Kalo kite menyokong secara membuta tuli, mutu Proton tidak akan berubah dan kite akan terus susah memiliki barangan yang tidak bermutu.

      Bak kata, alah membeli, menang memakai. Kite sebagai pengguna, perlu rasa kita menang dengan Proton bukan setakat patriotik sahaja.

    HaHa…. memang bagus dengan patriotik.

    kalau bukan proton, u dapat beli Toyata/honda dengan harga yang murah (semasa tahun 1980)dan barang yang berquality (selamatkan keluarga dengan keselamatan kereta).

    Selain itu, banyak peluang pekerjaan kepada anak-anak malaysia sekiranya syarikat-syarikat mendirikan kilang di malaysia.

    Kenapa nak patriotik untuk mengkayakan cronies proton dengan menghisap darah(duit) dari rakyat yang miskin?

    Bodoh betul kalau patriotik dan kayakan cronies Mamak.

    @kambingganas. Kalau kamu begitu patriotik. Takpayah tengok site ini dah. Pergi lah ke protong or perutdua.com. Pergi support DR M lagi bagus. Biar kami beli cukup la. Proton axia hybrid neo super sport atau apa apa kamu nak cakap.

    Ini internet. Kalau kamu tak suka. Jangan bisik banyak banyak. Kalau tak mampu. Jangan bising lagi la
