Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) has launched the 2022 HR-V in Pakistan to a mixed reception from the public. While people are appreciative of its looks and that it is all-new, their sentiment is lukewarm regarding the powertrain and the lack of advanced features.
Turns out that you can opt for optional extras in both HR-V variants. However, it may require you to sell one of your kidneys to afford them.
According to the latest report from Pakwheels.com, the optional features in Honda HR-V can cost up to Rs. 600,000. Here’s what that money will get you:
Honda HR-V VTi
Honda HR-V VTi-S
As can be seen above — with exception of an Android navigation panel in VTi — all optional extras are mostly cosmetic or accessory items. While these options can be useful, paying almost Rs. 600,000 for extras is a tough call for most car buyers.
Other Details
HR-V is a crossover SUV that competes with both, B-segment and C-segment rivals due to its size.
Both HR-V variants have a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine that sends 119 horsepower (hp) and 145 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to the front wheels only via a CVT automatic transmission.
Other features include:
| Safety | Convenience |
| 4 Airbags | Multiple Drive Modes |
| Hill-Start Assist | Smart Infotainment System |
| ABS | Electronically Folding Mirror |
| Fog Lights | 12 Volt Socket |
| Backup Camera | USB Connectivity |
| Immobilizer System and Burglar Alarm | Automatic Climate Control |
| Central Power Door Locks | Keyless Entry |
| ISO Fix Child Seat Anchors | Steering Wheel Multimedia-Control Switches |
| Electronic Parking Brake | Adjustable Steering Wheel |
| Wireless Charging (Top Variant) | Semi-Digital Gauge Cluster |
| Vehicle Stability Control Traction Control | Auto-Dimming Mirror (Top Variant) |
Although Rs. 6 million is not a small amount for HR-V, it is likely to be a success in Pakistan, given the general popularity of SUVs.
