The 2018 Honda HR-V will more than likely come without larger modifications. This subcompact crossover is the company’s entry-level model. Up until now, we have seen 2 generations of it. While the initial model remained in production between 1998 and 2006, the second generation came after a long eight-year brake. The brand-new model remains in production given that 2014, while the North American model came one year later. So, if we consider that the present model is only for about 2 or 3 years old, 2018 HR-V will most likely come without modifications, while the huge mid-cycle update must come most likely in 2 years. So, this small crossover will continue with the pretty much very same attributes, including familiar styling and lots of equipment. We expect its arrival late in the year.
As we already mentioned, the 2018 Honda HR-V will continue with the practically exact same qualities. This little crossover will be available in three trim levels. Currently the base LX model includes lots of features. There are things like 17-inch wheels, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a height-adjustable motorist seat. When it comes to hi-tech features, a 5-inch main display screen, a rearview video camera, Bluetooth, and a four-speaker sound system with a CD gamer, an auxiliary jack and a USB port are all standard. The next one is EX, which includes some nice things like foglights, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, heated front seats, automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen, 6-speaker audio system and smartphone integration. Lastly, there will be a 2018 Honda HR-V EX-L Navi. This trim will include roof rails, leather upholstery, a navigation system with voice recognition, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and satellite radio.
When it concerns powertrain, the 2018 Honda HR-V will continue with the same 1.8-liter engine, which certainly does not have in some elements compared with the competition. It has a max output of 141 horsepower and comes with a 6-speed handbook transmission in a standard variation. On the other side, a CVT is optional. When it comes to performances, this small crossover has some of the weakest results in class, which is absolutely the main issue with this crossover. So, do not be shocked if company decide to use some more efficient engine in the future.
The 2018 Honda HR-V ought to come somewhere late in the year. It will feature basically the exact same price which goes in a variety between 20.000 and 27.000 dollars.
