All-New Honda HR-V to Debut New Honda Architecture

Honda HR-V Vezel

We reported earlier that Honda is working on the next-gen HR-V SUV (Next Vezel SUV), which is scheduled to be launched in Japan in 2021. A new media report claims that the new-gen Honda Vezel will be unveiled in December 2020. What’s more interesting is that the next model will be based on the new Honda Architecture.

The report claims that the next-gen Honda HR-V won’t use the existing Jazz hatchback’s platform, which also underpins the new City hatchback. With next Vezel or HR-V, Honda will mark the debut of the new platform – simply called the Honda Architecture. The new report claims that the new model will measure 4,350mm in length, 1,785mm in width and 1,605mm in height.

A different report from Japan claims that the next-gen Honda HR-V will grow up to 4,400mm. In the current form, the HR-V is 4.32 meters, 1.77 meters and 1.58 meters in length, width and height respectively. However, the wheelbase will be maintained at around 2.61 meters. Moreover, the new model will receive a coupe-like design.

While next HR-V will utilise the new Honda Architecture, the Japanese automaker will use the Jazz’s platform to develop 2 new SUVs – a sub-4 meter and an all-new mid-sized SUV. The new mid-sized SUV will sit right between the next-gen HR-V and the upcoming sub-4 meter SUV, and will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks and the Kia Seltos. The sub-4 meter SUV will rival the Toyota Raize and the Suzuki Jimny in Japan.

Similar to the new-gen Honda Fit, the upcoming Honda HR-V will be equipped with a new 1.5-litre petrol engine with two electric motors. Adding to it, the SUV will be offered with standard 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The company could also introduce the 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 120bhp of power and 200Nm of torque. Both manual and CVT versions will be on offer.
