Honda's updated HR-V sports sharp new look

Brand's best-selling model in Europe has also received some interior revisions and extra safety kit

THE Honda HR-V has received Ia gentle nip and tuck three years after it was launched, to help it look as fresh as possible in the hugely competitive compact SUV class.

The tweaks consist of a new grille and a sharper front bumper, with allblack trim that's meant to give the car a more purposeful look. Fresh headlight units feature darkened internals and a more prominent daytime-running light signature, while the LED light bar at the rear has also been updated. Three new paint colours are available too: Sage Green, Seabed Blue and Urban Grey.
