Honda has unveiled the 2023 HR-V which will debut a clean, sporty, and expressive exterior design. The refreshed US-spec subcompact crossover will feature a low horizontal beltline, a longer hood, a larger grille, a wider stance, and a sleek roofline. In addition, the Japanese automotive brand said that the 2023 HR-V will feature a more responsive engine and a new independent rear suspension which should give the upcoming SUV a sporty yet personal appeal.
Honda released a promotional video highlighting the 2023 Honda HR-V’s youthful and athletic styling. You can check it out here.
“By gaining aspirational qualities beyond its segment, the all-new 2023 Honda HR-V will welcome a new generation of customers to Honda and grow in importance as a gateway to the Honda brand. This new HR-V will advance its position as the segment leader with young buyers, first-time buyers, and multicultural customers,” said American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Assistant Vice President of Automobile Sales Michael Kistemaker.
According to Honda, the new HR-V’s design was inspired by the thrill of new experiences, hence, the crossover looks like a vehicle with a strong sense of adventure.
At the fore are wide-set LED headlights that complement its extensive bonnet and wide grille. The low beltline makes the HR-V appear somewhat closer to the ground, and in classic Honda fashion, emanates a flawless sense of motion. The side profile is highlighted with the five-spoke wheels that perfectly suit the subcompact crossover SUV. The rear mirrors the LED lights found at the front and boasts a sculpted hatch and a functional tailgate spoiler.
A large greenhouse provides excellent visibility, enhanced by door-mounted mirrors and HR-V's low cowl. For a cleaner, upscale look, laser-brazing technology eliminates the need for unsightly roof moldings, and HR-V's windshield wipers hide under the hood line when not in use.
Honda said that the new HR-V is expected to be launched in the US this summer (from June to September).
In the Philippines, the all-new HR-V is set to be unveiled on April 19.
