Honda has unveiled the 2nd-generation HR-V crossover in the USA. The all-new Honda HR-V SUV is based on the same platform as its 11th-generation Civic sedan, giving it a longer wheelbase and a wider stance compared to its predecessor.



In terms of design, the 2023 Honda HR-V comes with a bold new front grille flanked on either side by sleek LED headlamps with integrated turn indicators & LED daytime running lights. The SUV has a long bonnet at the front, large newly-designed alloy wheels, a sloping roofline and wraparound LED taillights at the rear. There is also a tailgate-mounted spoiler, which adds to the sporty characteristics of the SUV.



Honda hasn't revealed the interiors of the 2023 HR-V yet but is expected to do so in the coming months. Even the specifications of the powertrain are yet to be announced, although Honda has mentioned the use of a more responsive engine. The 2023 HR-V also comes with an independent rear suspension.



The new HR-V will go on sale in the USA in the coming months. It could also be introduced in other markets at a later stage.

Is there anyone else here, apart from me, who thinks that this design is very very "INSPIRED" one from Lamborghini Urus? At least the front end.
I have not seen Honda doing it earlier.
At first glance, I seriously thought this to be some Chinese knock-off of the mighty SUV.

Like the design. Looks so un-Honda like though. We always try to see where we have seen the front or the rear before. Looks little Hyundai/Mazda for me. Really like the stance in the last picture.

Does anyone else think it looks like a modern day iteration of the original Subaru Forester?

That's quite different from the UK and EU spec HR-V, that was also launched recently.

I wonder, which one we will get, if any?

Don’t worry, we won’t get it. Honda India is like Ford India, they will evaluate forever to bring a model and by that time everyone else would have come with competitors and then they will shut the shop. Ford waited eternally to bring a upgrade to Ecosport, meanwhile Hyundai brought Creta, Kia the Seltos and the rest as they say is history. Ford created the small CSUV segment and then waited forever. There is a proverb saying “If you don’t sit where you ought to be, a dog will sit in your place”. Honda India won’t survive in India, they are on their way out, its just a matter of time.

NB: no disrespect to dogs at all.

They'll get this one too but under a different name.

Likely neither, unless they get the European one as an interim halo CBU like the VW T-Roc. There's no news about Honda's next launch for India after the City Hybrid. Given that Africa has started getting the BR-V from Indonesia (historically they've got Indian Hondas) despite the new BR-V sharing so much with the Amaze, I don't think Honda has plans to produce the new BR-V in India even under a different name. So it's possible that the 'Elevate' trademark they registered in India is for the RS concept thing they teased last year. If at all they stay, that is.
