Prices of new Honda HR-V announced before launch

MANILA: The facelifted Honda HR-V is expected to be launched in the Philippines later this month. While we were waiting for that to happen, Honda Philippines went ahead and announced the prices of the upcoming model. Any guesses?

Two new trims will accompany the facelifted HR-V - 1.8 E CVT and 1.8 RS Navi CVT. The RS Navi trim will be similar to what we have seen with the Honda Jazz and Honda Mobilio that were launched last year. While the 1.8 E CVT has been priced at Php 1,300,000 the 1.8 RS Navi CVT is a bit dearer and will cost Php 1,500,000.

Honda has already launched the new HR-V in Thailand in June this year. Honda has done certain revisions in the way the new HR-V looks. The front of the car has been given a refreshed look by incorporating a pair of new LED headlights and daytime running lights. The front bumper has also been revised for a sporty appearance. We also get a new grille at the front. To enhance the side view of the car, Honda has replaced the old set of alloy wheels with new ones with a different design. If you reach the rear end of the new HR-V, you would notice a slight change in the design of the bumper.

There are also some exclusive colors for each of the new model. The 1.8 RS Navi CVT gets a phoenix orange shade, whereas colors like passion red, taffeta white, modern steel metallic, and lunar silver metallic are limited to the 1.8 E variant only.

Honda HR-V is a new entrant in the market. It has not been long since it was first introduced, i.e., in 2015. The HR-V is meant to fill in the gap between a sedan and an SUV. It tries to offer sedan-like features and traits combined with that of an SUV and is doing pretty well in the competitive ecosystem
