Honda Malaysia introduces sportier limited edition variant of HR-V

KUALA LUMPUR: No one better than Honda knows how to spice things up, and keep buyers engaged all the while long. As for its recent move, Honda Malaysia recently introduced HR-V with MUGEN treatment. Thanks to which, we now have a sub-compact SUV that offers some amazing bold and beautiful styling.

Honda is calling the new MUGEN X HR-V (that’s how the brand tags it), ' beauty with no compromise'. Meaning that the new introduction would continue to deliver same comfort and performance expected from an HR-V with little extra work on the appeal and utility front.

Talking about the MUGEN treatment and features accompanying it, maximum additions are limited to the exterior with a few 'HR-V Limited Edition' lettering here and there in the cabin. Giving the Honda HR-V a stunning silhouette and a bold stance are present styling upgrades like a new front grille, front under spoiler, sporty decal, side under spoiler, rear under spoiler, tailgate spoiler, Mugen exterior emblem and Mugen gearbox emblem.

Speaking of options, Mugen edition is available in two different colour tones - Dark Ruby Red Pearl and White Orchid Pearl. Among the two, opting for the white colour would cost buyers RM300 above the on-road price.

Seeing the long list of Mugen features that comprises of nine inclusions in total, the MUGEN edition sure seems to give the standard HR-V a youthful appeal. We think with the MUGEN X HR-V, Honda is trying to expand its user base to the new generation of buyers.

Coming to the pricing, all the additions seen in the Mugen treated HR-V costs RM1,370 over the 1.8V model. So, if you want one for yourself, you got to spend RM118,800. Also, hurry up, as Honda HR-V Mugen is a limited edition variant limited to just 1,020 units.
