honda japan officially started selling the facelifted hr-v in late april, which was also the first market for the hr-v series after the facelift. now, honda uk has also officially launched the facelifted hr-v, which is the european model. the appearance also follows the changes of the japanese model, mainly in the modification of the front of the car, but overall the changes are not large. some adjustments have also been made to the interior under the center console. the manufacturer also emphasized that the nvh cabin quietness engineering has also evolved.

in terms of power, unlike the facelifted hr-v in the japanese market which has both gasoline and hybrid-electric settings, the facelifted hr-v in europe only has a single e:hev hybrid-electric power. the new car is expected to be officially launched in the uk and europe in september, but the price has not yet been announced.

in terms of appearance, the honda hr-v facelift has not changed much. the most obvious change is the front grille. the original grille has become more square and smaller in size, and the upper trim has been thickened. the slightly modified bumper and lower air intake, as well as the sharp headlights, also add some masculinity to the front of the car. the main changes to the rear are in the taillights. although the through-type led light group combined with the factory logo design is maintained, the arrangement and combination inside have been adjusted, with red light group lines dividing the lines instead of the previous piano key arrangement.

this time, the european facelift hr-v also added 3 new car colors. at the same time, the advance style plus model is also equipped with a panoramic glass roof and privacy glass inside the car. the advance plus model is based on the advance style model, with some modifications on the exterior, including a crystal black grille, different styles of 18-inch wheels and more exclusive color settings for the body.

entering the car, it is equipped with a 7-inch digital instrument and a 9-inch central infotainment screen. however, the biggest difference is that under the center console, an open storage space is added around the central saddle. this design is more ergonomic and makes it easier to use wireless charging for mobile phones. at the same time, by enhancing the sound insulation effect in the car, it can bring a more comfortable driving and riding experience. in addition, the european facelift hr-v also comes standard with the honda sensing driver assistance system, and the 360-degree surround view system now has a side or top view, and the traffic congestion assistance system has also been upgraded.

in terms of power settings, the facelifted hr-v is different from the japanese market, which has a variety of combinations of gasoline and hybrid with front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. the european region only has a single 1.5-liter e:hev hybrid specification and front-wheel drive configuration. the engine has a maximum horsepower of 107 (ps) and a torque of 13.4 kgm, and the motor has a maximum horsepower of 131 (ps) and a torque of 250 nm. the power performance also maintains the settings before the facelift. looking at honda's series of products in europe, including cr-v, jazz (known as fit in china), civic, zr-v and hr-v, all models are only hybrid-electric, and no pure fuel engine is provided. this also corresponds to the local european strategy of actively promoting electrification. currently, the only civic type r in honda's european product line is pure fuel-powered.
