JAKARTA - In March, Honda launched a facelift from HR-V facelift for the Japanese market. In Sakura's country, this compact SUV is named Vezel and has undergone a number of changes.

After that, the manufacturer with the 'H' logo brought the model to a number of markets including Thailand. Not only in terms of newer displays and features, this car is also equipped with powertrain e: HEV or hybrid developed by Honda.

After being introduced in the land of white elephants, there is the potential that the model will arrive at the Indonesian market. This is evidenced by the HR-V facelift being included in the DKI Jakarta Province Motor Vehicle Selling Value List (NKJB).

Based on VOI's search, Wednesday, September 18, the car was put on the Samsat-pkb.jakarta.go.id page list with the code RV58 consisting of two models, the first being CVT ZZ and CVT ZZ.

The allegation that it is a facelift Honda HR-V is a RV5 code referring to the current generation model. This code is used by manufacturers to identify models in the HR-V family line.

In the list, the first model with the code RV58 CVT ZZ is given with a selling price starting from Rp328 million. Meanwhile, RV58 RS CVT ZZ has a selling value of Rp372 million.

Keep in mind that the prices listed on the NKJB website do not cover all sales taxes such as BBNKB, PPh, VAT, and others. So that the actual price may be different when this car is marketed in Indonesia.

Speaking of HR-V facelifts, the model features a newer front with a slim design and a wide grip just like the Elvenate model for the Indian market.

In addition, the back also received an update on the rear light featuring a sleek red cross, making the car's design look more compact than ever before.

Meanwhile, the kitchen runway has not changed from the previous version. Thus, it still carries a natural-doped 1.5-liter Atkinson engine combined with e-CVT and two electric motors. The driving force in the pre-facelift model produces 131 PS and 253 Nm of power, with a fuel consumption claimed at 25.6 km/l.
