最近谍照记者在南欧拍到了正在测试的本田HR-V改款车，很显然，这是一辆欧版车型。该车的车身只进行了少量伪装，这表明新车改款幅度不大，仍将保留基本造型和车身尺寸。作为一次典型的改款，这辆跨界车将对前脸进行升级，包括改款前保险杠，新的散热器格栅，不同的前大灯和雾灯。另外，尾灯组也获得升级，车身侧面采用了新的轮圈，车身涂装也增加了新的颜色。美版2018款HR-V搭载一台1.8升四缸引擎，功率105千瓦/141马力，扭矩172牛米，可搭配六速手动或CVT变速器和前轮/全轮驱动，预计新车仍将采用这一布局和动力系统。欧版车原来的1.6升柴油版将被混动版本所替代，后者搭载一台1.5升汽油引擎和一台电机，搭配七速自动变速器。而搭载1.5升VTEC引擎的车型还将继续销售。

 

Honda HR-V Spied Hiding Discreet Facelift

During the first quarter of the year, the Honda HR-V has registered 24,659 sales and is currently the third best-selling model in its segment. While this result is strong per se, the Japanese manufacturer wants the crown back and is preparing a facelifted version of the subcompact crossover. Attached below is a gallery of spy photos showing the refreshed model in prototype guise undergoing testing in Southern Europe, and this is likely an Euro-spec version.

 

The small amount of camouflage suggests no major visual revisions are planned, as the HR-V will retain its basic shape and dimensions. A typical move for a facelift, the crossover will gain an updated fascia with what appear to be a reshaped bumper, a new design for the radiator grille, and different headlights and fog lamps. Also, updated graphics for the taillights are expected, as well as new wheel designs and exterior colors.

 

In the United States, the 2018 HR-V is available with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 141 horsepower (105 kilowatts) and 127 pound-feet (172 Newton-meters). The motor, which is offered with either a six-speed manual or a CVT in both front- and all-wheel drive layouts, is expected to soldier on for the new model year.

 

As far as the European market is concerned, some reports claim the 1.6-liter diesel engine of the HR-V could be replaced by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 1.5-liter gas engine, an electric motor, and a seven-speed automatic gearbox. The standard 1.5 VTEC will remain on sale.
