2023 Honda HR-V: Honda Fills In the Holes
Photo: Honda 2023 Honda HR-V, profile Honda had already shown us what the next generation of its HR-V SUV will look like, more or less, for 2023. However, as is the automaker’s wont, its first presentations left out a number of details, details that would be coming down the road.
Specifically, the new HR-V is 221 mm longer and 70 mm wider. This will surely translate into more interior space for second row occupants, with a wider bench for example. A few litres of volume are gained behind the second row , but about 100 litres are lost when the second-row seats are folded down . The reason is pretty clear: by adopting the Civic's chassis, it’s not possible to have the Magic Seat technology in the back.
On the other hand, the wider rear track and the fact that the model now gets the Civic's chassis should translate into a more-dynamic driving experience on the road. Every trim of the next HR-V will ride on 17-inch wheels, though styling will be slightly different from one variant to the next to distinguish each one, especially on the front grille.
We'll have more to say about the interior space, features, ergonomics and such when we test-drive the model, of course.And unsurprisingly, since rumours have been pointing to this for months, that engine is now the Civic's 2.0L 4-cylinder unit under the hood. With 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, it adds a bit of power to the model , but we'll have to see about performance, because the new HR-V will be heavier.
