The 2022 Honda HR-V has been revealed in Thailand, where the SUV will be initially available as an e:HEV hybrid. There will be three trim levels – the entry E at 9xx,000 baht, the EL at 1,0xx,000 baht and the range-topping RS at 1,1xx,000 baht, as reported by Headlightmag, which also snapped the live images you see here. By the way, one million baht is currently equivalent to RM124,727 – you do the math.
This is the third generation of the HR-V, if you count the boxy two-door oddball that existed in the noughties. The latest-gen B-segment SUV was first revealed in February this year, before launching in Japan two months later. Thailand is the first ASEAN market to receive the new model, which is launching in e:HEV hybrid form.
The heart of the i-MMD system is a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated Atkinson cycle engine with 105 hp and 127 Nm of torque available from 4,500 to 5,000 rpm. This E20 gasohol-ready DOHC i-VTEC engine is partnered with an e-CVT automatic transmission, a lithium-ion battery and two motors. Combined output is 131 hp and 253 Nm from 0 to 3,500 rpm.
Compared to the City e:HEV, the engine makes 7 hp more here, while the main e-motor produces an extra 22 hp. In Thailand, the HR-V e:HEV’s warranty is for three years or 100,000 km, but the hybrid system gets a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, and the hybrid battery receives a 10-year unlimited mileage warranty.
This is actually the first time we’re seeing RS styling for the new HR-V, and the sporty trim adds on a chrome studded grille with the RS logo (horizontal slats on the regular car, see the EL gallery below), a lower grille with horizontal slats (versus honeycomb) and a gloss black lip. Check out the “Amp Up” break on the red accent line of the lower grille.
The gloss black treatment continues on the wheel arches, side skirts and rear bumper. The non-RS car gets silver skid plate-style trim at both ends. The sporty range topper rolls on 18-inch twin-five-spoke grey alloys (225/50 tyres), which are an inch up on the standard 17-inch six-spoke rims, which are also in grey (215/60 tyres). Interestingly, Honda is bucking the two-tone wheels trend with the HR-V. Smoked tail lamps, too.
Also unique to the RS is this Ignite Red Metallic colour with a black roof. Two-tone is RS-only. The other four colours – Platinum White Pearl, Premium Sunlight White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl – are available for all trim levels. Inside, the RS gets black leather upholstery with red stitching.
As you’d expect, the new HR-V has its own set of Modulo accessories. The “Urban Style” package jazzes the face up with a honeycomb front grille, silver front/rear under spoiler with matching side garnish, chrome fog light garnish, and exhaust pipe finishe
