The latest-generation Honda HR-V has just been unveiled in Indonesia and has landed with a turbocharged engine. Four versions of the HR-V are hitting the Indonesian market. These start with the standard HR-V 1.5L S CVT and include the 1.5L E CVT and the 1.5L SE CVT, all of which are powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter engine with 119 hp and 145 Nm of torque that’s mated to a continuously variable transmission.
Topping out the range is the HR-V RS that
features the aforementioned turbo engine. The mill in question is a 1.5-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder producing 175 hp and 240 Nm of
torque. It is unclear what kind of transmission is coupled to this engine but
there are a number of unique styling elements that distinguish the HR-V RS from
lesser variants.
For example, the HR-V RS comes with a
unique dark chrome front grille and an updated front bumper. Honda has also
equipped the model with unique wheels while found at the rear are dual
tailpipes. The taillight graphics have also been blacked out and there are a
handful of RS badges.
As is the case in other markets, the
third-generation HR-V sold in Indonesia comes equipped with a plethora of
safety features. These include Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane
Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise
Control with Low Speed Follow, Auto-High Beam, and a Lead Car Departure
Notification system.
