Honda HR-V Global Presence 

All of you know that Honda unveiled the logo of its upcoming crossover SUV, Honda HR-V, at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS 2022). This increased the anticipation among the Honda lovers. Then, we told you that the launch of this car is around the corner and it seems not that far, as the car -without any wrap – was spotted in Pakistan. The launch of the Honda HR-V in Pakistan would be the next big thing for local auto industry. Amid all this, the biggest question is which Honda HR-V would come to Pakistan, whether it will be the one launched in Japan as Vezel in 2021 or the one introduced in the US in June 2022.

So, here is a brief discussion and comparison of these two cars to show the presence of the Honda HR-V in the international market.

Honda HR-V (Vezel) in Japan

The new model of the crossover SUV was launched in Japan back in 2021. The company introduced a 1.5L DOHC non-hybrid and hybrid engine option, which produces 109hp and 142Nm of torque. The engine is mated with CVT transmission. Meanwhile, these are the salient specs and features of this car:

Honda HR-V in the US

As mentioned earlier, Honda revealed the 3rd generation of Honda HR-V in the US in June 2022. This model is quite different from the Japanese one, especially in looks. Furthermore, it has 2L naturally aspirated engine, making 158hp and 187Nm of torque. And CVT transmission is standard.

To briefly introduce this car, here are its salient specs and features.

It is pertinent to mention that both cars come with hybrid and electric-hybrid engines. However, it seems unlikely that we will get these engine options.

Last but least, as we told you earlier, a test unit was spotted in Lahore yesterday, and by the looks of it, we are getting the Japanese HR-V. But to be completely sure, let us all wait for the official launch.
