Honda UK has confirmed pricing, performance and specification details for the new

The new HR-V Sport is available with a manual gearbox as standard, priced from £27,595 OTR (inc. VAT). A CVT can be selected as an option, priced from £28,245 OTR (inc. VAT). Premium paint adds £525 (inc. VAT) to the OTR price.

 Both versions feature bespoke suspension and ‘Performance Damper’ tuning, alongside variable ratio electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion system and Honda Agile Handling Assist technology to create a sportier, more agile and engaging driving experience.

The HR-V Sport is powered by the turbocharged 1.5 VTEC engine from the latest generation Honda Civic and produces 182 PS at 5,500rpm for the manual and 6,000 rpm for CVT, a 52 PS uplift from the petrol version and 62 uplift from the diesel.

The manual transmission version achieves a WLTP-compliant fuel economy rating of 47.9 MPG and CO2 emissions of 135 g/km. The CVT achieves 47.1 MPG (WLTP) and emits 137g/km CO2. Top speed is 134 MPH and 0-62 MPH is reached within 7.8 seconds.

Exterior design changes including a unique, high gloss black chrome trim and black honeycomb front grille, differentiate the HR-V Sport versions ‘Solid Wing Face’ design signature, creating a sportier looking front end. Further sport styling elements include a slim front splitter, side skirts, wheel arch mouldings and a specific rear bumper design with sharper lines, all finished in black to create a more aggressive overall body shape.

LED headlights, indicators and daytime running lights are equipped as standard, and the tail lights are enhanced with a dark ‘smoked’ effect and black inner bars.

Inside, new seats for the driver and front passenger provide enhanced support in the seat cushion and back rest. The dynamic styling continues in the interior with exclusive combi seats in black & dark red part-leather combined with black roof lining to enhance the sporty appeal.

 “The HR-V Sport adds a premium and sporty character to the HR-V range,” commented Phil Webb, Head of Car at Honda UK. “This sporty, subcompact SUV with premium design details provides our customers with greater choice for a more engaging driving experience in an immensely competitive segment of the UK car market.”

Customers can choose the HR-V Sport on a three year 10,000 Miles PCP with 6.2% APR representative and a £750 Honda deposit contribution for £299 per month for the Manual and £319 per month for the CVT.
