Curve dynamics and the driving stability
As part of an overall package that aims to achieve an optimum balance between body stiffness, chassis tuning and steering feel, the vehicle is equipped with Performance Damper technology. Special dampers at the front and rear counteract lateral and torsional movements. Cornering dynamics and driving stability during sudden lane changes are increased, and vibrations on uneven roads are reduced.
The design shows sporty character
The front of the HR-V Turbo features a new interpretation of the Solid Wing family face with a high-gloss black chrome trim. An exclusive honeycomb look is found in the grille and in the surrounds of the fog lamps.
Added to this are dynamic design elements, including a slim front spoiler and a more striking rear bumper - all in gloss black. The sporty appearance is underscored by black exterior mirror trim, two tailpipes and 18-inch alloy wheels with an exclusive look.
Optimized seats provide better lateral support
The dynamic design continues in the interior with exclusive seats in black and dark red and a black headliner. The front seats, redesigned in the course of the model year, offer improved support thanks to modified seat cushions and backrests.
The launch of the Honda HR-V Turbo in Switzerland is planned for spring 2019. The vPrices have not yet been determined.
