PRLog - Oct. 23, 2014 - HIGHLAND, Ind. -- At the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19th, the new Honda HR-V will be making its North American debut. Positioned in Honda’s lineup below the CR-V, the HR-V will be the automaker’s entry into the light truck lineup. This new Honda model is expected to hit dealerships across the country later this winter, including Bosak Honda in Highland, adding to an already strong lineup of new Honda vehicles.

The 2015 Honda HR-V will be built on the same platform as the Honda Fit with the same flexibility and versatility on the interior. Honda’s “Magic Seat” will be featured, giving owners multiple seating configuration options, including the ability to fold the second row of seats directly into the floor for increased cargo room. The new HR-V is expected to be an ideal vehicle for both city streets and off-road terrain.

Expected under the hood of the HR-V will be the same 1.5L four-cylinder engine as the Fit. Paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission, the 1.5L engine will deliver an respectable 130 hp, but those looking for a little more can expect a turbocharged engine model to soon follow the launch.

Because of its size and features, the 2015 Honda HR-V will be able to compete with similar small crossover models, such as the Nissan Juke, Mazda CX-5, and Subaru XV Crosstrek.

Should sales results for the HR-V prove to be strong, it has been said that a hybrid model, as well as an all-wheel drive version could also be produced.

As of right now the price of the 2015 Honda HR-V has not been determined, nor has the exact date of release. More information about this Honda crossover model will be revealed at its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19th. To learn more about the HR-V before then feel free to stop by Bosak Honda in Highland, located at 9800 Indianapolis Blvd in Highland, Indiana or contact the dealership at (800) 959-4660.
