There’s a new value-focused 2017 Honda HR-V Limited
Edition variant in the model range, with the re-added VTi-based model packing
in a few extras.
In a similar move to one made last year for the
Honda HR-V, the brand’s Australian arm says it has added AUD 3600 of extra value
to the Limited Edition specification, but at a cost of just AUD 1425 over the
regular VTi, the new Limited Edition version has a drive-away price
of AUD 28,990.
The changes to the new HR-V LE model over the VTi
are as follows:
- 17-inch alloy wheels (VTi has 16s)
- Rear parking sensors (complementing the standard rear-view camera)
- Side steps
- Smart keyless entry
- Push button start
- Roof rails
The HR-V Limited Edition is available in four
exterior colours: Morpho Blue and White Orchid (both pearlescent), and Lunar
Silver and Modern Steel (both metallic).
Honda recently announced satellite navigation
will be added to all HR-V models, but at the cost of the handy LaneWatch side
camera system. The brand’s small SUV still lacks the latest in-car smartphone
mirroring tech, despite other models in the range.
