Japanese premium car major, Honda Motor has recently unveiled the new 2015 HR-V compact SUV at the 2014 New York Auto Show. The new HR-V compact Sports Utility Vehicle is developed on the very able platform of the all new 2015 Honda Fit hatchback. The Honda HR-V flaunts the Japanese car maker’s patent premium styling with a sleek and smooth design approach that has been enhanced with bold character lines. The overall bold and contemporary design language of the new compact SUV is further complemented by chic hidden rear door handles, which offers a further sporty stance to the vehicle.

Like all Honda vehicles, the new HR-V compact SUV will also boast of a very spacious, comfortable and premium styled interior. Honda’s smart split seats will also find a place in this vehicle as well. The HR-V will be equipped with smart Honda split seats called the Magic Seats that allow the seats to be folded in multiple configurations, while also offering the flexibility to fold the second row seats completely flat in order to make for expanded cargo space, to offer the owners to carry just about anything they want to.
Moreover, the interior space and comfort will be even further enhanced by the unique center fuel tank arrangement. This will make the Honda HR-V a very flexible and versatile vehicle with a superior spacious cabin that will offer great comfort and ample legroom and should space to all the occupants.
Then again, the HR-V compact SUV much like all the other premium Honda cars will be loaded with all the latest world class features as well as very up-market interior materials and upholstery to offer a superior drive experience. The enhanced ground clearance of the vehicle will further offer a great comfortable driving experience while enjoying the luxurious and flexible interiors of the vehicle.
The new HR-V compact SUV will be serving as the Japanese car company’s entry level model of light truck lineup. Honda will be positioning the HR-V below the CR-V both in terms of size as well as price. The new Honda HR-V is slated to be launched in the U.S car market in the second half of this year.
The global compact SUV market is booming at a great pace and most of the global auto majors are coming up with their own compact SUV offerings. The Indian car market is also a great place for the compact SUV models, where these are very popular among the consumers.
Honda is also planning to offer a new compact SUV for the Indian car market as well. Though earlier this was known to be the new Vezel compact SUV, later on it was clear that the Vezel is not going to launch in India due to its premium pricing. Honda is now working on a Brio based compact SUV for India, the concept version of which was showcased at the 2014 Indian auto Expo.
