New generation of the HR-V SUV gets an exclusive sports version for the Indonesian market

The Honda HR-V has just debuted a new generation in Europe. It is a model that is midway in size between the small and compact crossovers, and which stands out for its full standard equipment and also for a hybrid engine that is quite mild in character.

With only 131 hp of power, the Honda HR-V e:HEV can be the ideal companion for traveling through the large European cities congested with cars, and also spending little, but it is an option that leaves no room for enthusiasm, for joy in its response. and performance.

For now and only for Indonesia, the Japanese brand has launched the new Honda HR-V RS, an interesting alternative that uses the sensational 1.5 VTEC Turbo engine with 177 hp and 240 Nm of maximum torque. It is a version that is marketed with automatic transmission, but that allows to improve, and a lot, the performance.

This engine only complies with the Euro 4 standard, so it is very far from being able to be marketed on European soil, but it would be interesting if the brand launched a slightly more spicy option of the HR-V to win over that public that likes the model, but I think the car is underperforming.
