The facelifted HR-V will feature the previous powertrain. It will be equipped with a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine mated with an e-CVT and two electric motors. It generates around 131 PS and 253 Nm of torque, with 25.6 km/l claimed fuel consumption. The engine acts as a generator, while the front wheels are driven by a larger motor, with a lock-up clutch that provides direct drive at high speeds.
While the facelifted HR-V will debut in Thailand this year, Honda’s UAE fans might have to wait longer as this model isn’t expected to be launched anytime soon here.
