[@shadelgayle9233]

Which car stereo is installed ?

[@Fandao19]

Great work, the only 2022 HR-V I can get in Australia is the petrol version, which is a lot more cheaper in price but I am worried the engine will be to underpowered and sluggish with not enough power? I drive 40 percent city and 60 percent highway driving, do you think engine will be enough? I never speed and try to drive softly within the speed limit, just looking for long term reliability

[@ignitiontv1893]

Reliability shouldn't be a worry since 1) it's a relatively simple engine and 2) it's a Honda You'll probably find power lacking though, especially given the size of Australian cities and countryside, and the engines that the HR-V's competitors are available with. The HR-V's 1.5L only makes 106HP and 127Nm, so it's just about adequate if you're only pottering around town, but acceleration on the highway will be a laborious affair.

@@ignitiontv1893 the version in Indonesia said the 1.5 L petrol engine will provide 121 HP, is it different engine version?

[@hongyaozhuang8625]

Some say, that bigboost is a Koala Bear.

[@ramvoix2036]

Hows the engine noise?

[@ignitiontv1893]

It's about expected for a naturally-aspirated engine with a CVT gearbox... Fairly quiet while cruising, but gets quite noisy if you need quick acceleration

[@ramvoix2036]

Thanks..is this new HRV a good car to buy?

[@ignitiontv1893]

​@@ramvoix2036 Yes it is, it's a lot more comfortable than the old car. But get the e:Hev hybrid model; it's a far better drivetrain than the 1.5 petrol. Much better refinement, acceleration, and fuel economy.

This car has no rear iron bar, not safe enough
