2020 Honda HR-V

The 2020 Honda HR-V RS adds a distinctive, athletic edge to one of New Zealand's most practical and reliable compact SUVs. Powering the front wheels is Honda's trusted 1.8L naturally aspirated i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 105kW of power and 172Nm of torque. Mated to a smooth, stepped CVT automatic transmission with paddle shifters and custom variable gear ratio steering, it delivers an agile, responsive drive around Hamilton while retaining a fuel economy rating of 6.7L/100km. The RS grade stands out immediately with its piano-black body kit, aggressive honeycomb front grille, dark chrome door handles, and bold 18-inch sports alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin features a dark, premium aesthetic with black leather-appointed sports seats, heated front seating, sports pedals, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Standard tech includes a 7-inch central touchscreen running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 6-speaker audio system, automatic climate control, and push-button start. Cargo flexibility is class-leading thanks to Honda's clever Magic Seat system, allowing the rear seats to fold completely flat or flip upward to easily haul tall items across the Waikato. Safety is well handled, featuring City Brake Active autonomous braking, reversing camera, rear parking sensors.This NZ-new compact crossover perfectly balances sporty on-road style with unmatched daily utility
