The all-new Honda HR-V was developed with the grand concept of “AMP UP YOUR LIFE”, offering customers exceptional styling and premium feel yet maintaining the practicality approach of the HR-V as an everyday companion.
The Honda HR-V comes in two engine derivatives, namely the entry level Comfort priced at N$469,000 and the Executive model priced at N$ 554 500.
Honda developed the HR-V not only as an all-new compact SUV, but as a consumer product that appeals through desirability, functionality and usability. The HR-V not only delivers on style and performance but is designed to integrate into various lifestyles and fulfil individual customer requirements.
The new HR-V, launched last week by Pupkewitz Honda, offers greater leg and shoulder room. Rear leg room has increased by 35mm and there is an additional two-degree recline compared to the previous generation HR-V. This is due to Honda’s revised centre tank layout and clever packaging of powertrain components. The well-known centre-tank configuration also allows Honda to retain the exceptionally versatile rear Magic Seat set-up, that offers both fold-flat or flip-up seat flexibility, depending on load space required.
“Honda is not only driven by top quality but by many decades of legacy. We at Pupkewitz Motors back this legacy by a fully-fledged sales and aftersales department,” said Bianca Weakley the dealer principal at Pupkewitz Honda.
Honda’s engineers analysed every detail of the HR-V driving experience to maximise driver enjoyment and comfort. Compared to its predecessor, the all-new HR-V has a more rigid body structure and benefits from extensive suspension, steering and braking enhancements so that it responds more precisely to driver inputs, delivering a more confident and comfortable driving experience.
The brand-new infotainment system comes standard across the HR-V model range and gives users full functionality of a smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bluetooth is included and can be controlled via remote controls on the steering wheel.
The all-new HR-V features a suite of premium active and passive safety technologies designed to make driving easier and safer.
The HR-V incorporates Honda’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure technology that forms the foundation for excellent passive safety performance, enhancing occupant crash protection. A network of connected structural elements distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.
The HR-V features front, side and curtain SRS Airbags. The Executive offers six SRS airbags whilst the Comfort derivative offers four SRS airbags.
Other features include, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging pads, rear USB charging points, 17” and 18” alloy wheels and an electric boot.
The new HR-V is equipped with Honda’s 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine generating a power output of 89kW @6600rpm and torque of 145Nm @ 4300rpm. This new 1.5-litre powertrain is powerful and efficient with a fuel consumption figure of just 6L/100Km and a CO2 emission figure of 144 g/Km. The Honda HR-V is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured and marketed by Honda over three generations. The all-new HR-V features elevated styling, innovative technology and comfort to spare, all with the versatility to take you from the vet to the valet.
All models come standard with a five-year / 200 000km Warranty, and a 4-year / 60,000km service plan backed by Pupkewitz Honda.
Pupkewitz Honda offers a trade in price if your Honda is three to five years old and has between 60 000 100 000km.
