Following Honda's welcome to the new Binzhi replacement model HR-V, the new car has recently been exposed to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which means that the localization of the new car is imminent.
However, in addition to the ordinary version, the overseas market has also launched a more performance-sensitive RS series, and the new car has been unveiled in the overseas showroom a few days ago. For reference, the car is priced at IDR 499.9 million in the Indonesian market, or about RMB 225,100.
In terms of appearance, in addition to continuing the design of the ordinary version, the biggest change is to replace it with a new and more powerful kit, with a dot matrix grille and an exclusive "RS" logo, which greatly enhances the sports attributes of the new car and makes the new car more youthful.
Coming to the side, in addition to replacing the wheels with more sporty wheels than the ordinary version, the new car will also have a suspended roof design with a bright black wheel eyebrow design to make the new car more personalized.
Referring to the overseas version of HR-V RS size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4385 * 1790 * 1590mm, the wheelbase is 2610mm, although it is not much different from the ordinary version, but thanks to the design of the suspension roof, the visual length of the new car is effectively stretched.
As for the rear, the biggest change between the new car and the regular version is to replace the blackened through taillights, and add a bilateral double tail exhaust layout, as well as a new design tail bar, as far as possible to enhance the high-performance atmosphere of the new car.
It is worth mentioning that the red coating is an exclusive color match for HR-V RS, in order to make the new car more sporty.
In terms of interior, the HR-V RS still continues the design style of Honda's new family, equipped with an LCD dashboard and a small-size central control screen that floats, so that the new car always maintains a simple shape.
However, the interior of the new car does not seem to have any design, and there is a logo that highlights the new car as the RS series. The only difference is that the seams of the HR-V RS square disc are red, and it is difficult to distinguish the car version in the interior without a little attention.
However, in terms of configuration, the HR-V RS is more abundant than the 1.5L model, and will be equipped with an electric tailgate with additional induction opening, a 7-inch LCD instrument panel, an 8-inch multimedia display and a 6-speaker audio.
In view of the new car as the RS series, the HR-V RS is equipped with a 1.5T engine, a maximum power of 177 hp, a peak torque of 240 Nm, and a drivetrain matching the CVT CVT continuously variable transmission.
The overseas ordinary version of the model mainly promotes the 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 121 hp, a peak torque of 145 Nm, and an e:HEV 1.5-liter gasoline-electric hybrid system.
From the perspective of product positioning, the HR-V RS is more like the top model of the HR-V, so its benchmark model is still some entry-level compact SUVs.

In fact, the "RS" is not Honda's high-performance series, honda's interpretation is Road Sailing (similar to road cruise), which first appeared in the original Civic, in short, "RS" is a high-end version of ordinary manual models, not a sporty version.
However, with the emergence of more and more high-performance suffixes, Honda's "RS" has gradually become the representative of the performance series.
