Since Honda welcomed a new compact SUV, the Honda HR-V, it has been the first to be listed in its home markets in Japan and Europe.
Until recently, the North American market ushered in the launch of the new Honda HR-V, the difference is that the North American version of the Tian HR-V is not a European model, but a new model, is expected to be listed in the North American market this summer.
In fact, the previous generation of Honda HR-V in the North American market corresponds to Honda Binzhi (XR-V), and the Global Market (XR-V) at that time used one model, which means that the Honda HR-V after the replacement will be derived from two different models, which will be supplied to the North American market and other markets.
Specifically, the North American version is very different from the European version, of which the North American version adopts a more rounded shape design, which is obviously less than the European version of the tough but very muscular, and the front face uses an oval grille with a new light group design.
On the side, the new car seems to be larger than the European version, not only because the rear window of the new car is larger, but also because the North American market is more pursuit of large space models, so it is expected that the North American version of the model will have a size advantage over the European version.
In terms of the rear, the new car also uses a curved light group to echo the front face, with a blackened rear bar, which effectively improves the visual effect of the tail hardcore.
Or because the North American version of HR-V is more in line with the needs of the Chinese market, it is not excluded that Honda plans to take the lead in launching a new HR-V model in the North American market, and then usher in a new domestic HR-V, after all, according to the previous domestic exposure of the new car spy photos, the new car is more like the North American version of HR-V.
The Japanese and European versions of the HR-V will be unveiled as pure electric models in China, referring to the previously debuted GUANGQI Honda e:NP1 and Dongfeng Honda e:NS1, which can also see the similarity of the new car.
In terms of interior, the official has not yet revealed the style of the new model, but from the exposed new car spy photos, it can be seen that the new car will adopt the design of Honda's new family.
Therefore, you can refer to the design of the European version of HR-V, and the overall design is simple with the floating central control screen design.
However, considering that the new car is built on the same platform as the Honda Civic, it is not excluded that there are also design elements of the new Civic.
In terms of power, there is no relevant news exposed at present, according to the previous official indication that the new HR-V is sharing a platform with the 11th generation Of Civic, so it is possible to guess the new car or use the same engine of the new Civic.
Referring to the Civic models currently on sale in the North American market, equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine, it is likely to have these two power choices at the same time, and the domestic market is expected to continue the 1.5T engine, after all, the domestic Civic also has only this system, equipped with a CVT gearbox.
In addition, Honda has previously revealed that the Honda HR-V will have a new engine and independent rear suspension, plus this is a model based on the Honda Civic platform, it is not excluded that Honda will hope to create a "sports SUV" with Honda's faith on this model.
Considering that Honda's new HR-V has been positioned by Honda as a compact SUV, but its predecessor Binzhi is a small SUV, it is not excluded that the new car will be used as an entry-level compact SUV like the Toyota Corolla Cross.

Although the current Performance of Honda SUV in China is still strong, whether it is the small SUV market or the compact SUV market, XR-V, as a model that has not been replaced for a long time, should also usher in a successor model to enhance product competitiveness.
In addition, Toyota has allowed the brand to penetrate more market segments through a full-field layout, and it is not excluded that Honda will also strengthen its advantages in the SUV field through this strategy.
