PKDM Honda HR-V . Discussion & FanclubThread

[pwuser15093809934]

Honda Atlas is considering introducing a locally-assembled version of its crossover SUV, Vezel, as Pakistan sees a growing popularity of the car segment, Business Recorder learnt on Thursday.

The source, on condition of anonymity and privy to the matter, said the company has been testing the Honda Vezel H-RV in Pakistan, and evaluating its feasibility. The source added that presently, the company was testing a petrol variant.

According to a study conducted by Changan Pakistan, the SUV segment, if it sustains the growth trajectory, may become the biggest car segment at 37% by 2030.

Meanwhile, former chairman at the Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM) Mashood Khan said market talks are rife that Honda has been assessing feasibility of launching a crossover SUV.

Khan said H-RV is a better option when compared with the BR-V, a vehicle the company has been selling in the country for a few years.

However, the former PAAPAM chief said the present scenario of the auto sector and the economy's precarious position could force car assemblers to delay their plans.

Ok thanks
But i think honda is late to the party, kia, hyundai and changan has really ruled this segment.

[wasiqshahab94]

Changan is only getting started. It's going to make a killing in our market with the soon to be launched Oshan X5.

How is rear legroom compared with civic?

[fastian04]

Yes they are late.. but with new shape and that HONDA logo, it can sell very well Atlas don't price it stupidly high. Sedan was specific to honda here but we have a lot of CSUVs already in.

An out of nowhere rumor and take it only as rumor.. HRV RS Turbo as PKDM. RS Turbo is available in Indonesian market and uses Civic engine, 1.5T 176HP.

Again its too early to say anything. Bringing RS Turbo HRV could cannibalize the Civic lineup. Additionally it will definitely cost alot and expect it to be as much as Civic RS.

As of HRV pricing, I think if we are getting just the 1.5L NA L15Z engine , I expect pricing to be between 4.8 to 5.7 Million and possibly span over three variants.

Keep in mind, Civic pricing is expected to go further up in near future.

[fastian04]

Very interesting. RS variant would ruin almost all other available options but as u said, it's highly unlikely

[wasiqshahab94]

Called it

I do think Atlas could offer an RS variant with 1.5turbo as in many ASEAN markets (albeit hella detuned ala PKDM Civic).

it will definitely cost alot and expect it to be as much as Civic RS.

Sir i doubt that, the price difference might not be huge but there will definitely be one (Almost 13% in Indonesia).

HR-V is seemingly better

Not bad. Just hope its priced sensibly by some miracle.

[chinyoti]

What I see is that the Japanese are leaving the premium sedan market "C segment" in Pakistan.

HRV might be Hondas answer to Corolla Cross. Yes it's a smaller platform but you never know. HONDA city also competed Toyota Corolla Xli.

[fastian04]

Cross is also smaller than sportage. Vezel /hrv and cross are same size

[arslanawan222]

depends a lot of price, i'm not sure if they'll price it above or below civic. An RS version will be interesting. i've been trying to replace my civic x but nothing honestly is catching my eye.

[fastian04]

It will be cheaper than civic as its worldwide under civic

[arslanawan222]

that's quite nice then, really hope there's a rs version

[fastian04]

Buhat mushqil hai. Sensing zaroor dein gay but rs is a rare chance

[arslanawan222]

quite bad man, it seems like civic rs wala karwa ghoont he bharna parhey ga. Was hoping for corolla hybrid here but that too seems like will take ages.

[wasiqshahab94]

Vezel /hrv and cross are same size

Lol No.

Wheelbase
Cross 2,640 mm - HRV 2,610 mm

Length
Cross 4,460 mm - HRV 4,330 mm

Width
Cross 1,825 mm - HRV 1,790 mm

Height
Cross 1,620 mm - HRV 1,580 mm

Besides the obvious size difference, Corolla Cross sits on the superior Corolla platform compared to HRV which is based on Honda Fit.

[fastian04]

Ok on road they looked pretty similar.. bus pgr cross 10-15 lac aur mehngii

[wasiqshahab94]

You're right, the numbers might say otherwise but in real life, the differences aren't as noticeable. Number wise, cross sits smack in the middle of Sportage and HRV.

cross 10-15 lac aur mehngii

I wouldn't be surprised. Especially when Cross might be hybrid while HRV will be ICE only in Pakistan.
