There are four variants in the range, the entry-level 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated S-spec, followed by the Turbo E then the higher-spec Turbo V and finally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/2023\/08\/15\/review-honda-hr-v-ehev-rs-the-unplugged-hybrid\/\">HR-V e:HEV RS<\/a> hybrid at the top of the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is it like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HR-V Turbo is incredibly smooth with quiet and effortless acceleration. There&#8217;s power when you want it but no CVT gearbox whine when driving with urgency nor a sudden thrust as the turbo kicks in. The refinement extends to the handling which is very steady along with stable road holding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the car is quiet. There is a bit of road noise &#8211; not a complaint about NVH which is really almost always faintly present unless you&#8217;re in the Bentley-market range. However, it is not intrusive, as attested to by two hearing aid wearers. We could have conversations with ease and enjoy the audio system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should I get one?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We personally think the HR-V Turbo is the best version of the HR-V, ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the question is, Turbo E or the Turbo V? Is it worth paying RM5k more to get the HR-V Turbo V? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the E-spec and V-spec are fully equipped where it counts the most &#8211; safety features. The passive and active safety equipment across the variants are identical: six-airbags, anti-locking brakes (ABS), emergency brakeforce distribution (EBD), stability control, full Honda Sensing features like autonomous braking, collision warning along with adaptive cruise control and hill descent control. Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The convenience features like remote engine start to cool the car remotely, keyless entry, walkaway auto-lock, Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto, reverse camera, single-zone automatic air-conditioning are in both E and V. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Externally both turbo variants look the same: black chequered-styled front grille and &#8216;Turbo&#8217; badge at the rear. The front and rear lights are LED. The reflector headlights have automatic high beam. The V has sequential indicators, the E has flashers. The E has 17-inch rims while the V&#8217;s is 18-inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power-wise, the HR-V Turbo E- and Turbo V-spec have an engine and gearbox in common with Econ, Normal and Sport drive modes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Side note, the lower spec HR-V Turbo E is a split second faster than the V &#8211; and two whole seconds faster than the e:HEV RS. With less equipment and smaller rims, it weighs 23kg less. Not noticeable behind the wheel but it&#8217;s still bragging rights, the fastest Honda HR-V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our verdict, the HR-V Turbo E is lower spec where it doesn&#8217;t really matter. Smaller rims, urethane-covered steering wheel and manually-adjusted fabric upholstered seats, unpainted plastic trim in the cabin&#8230; It also does without variable ratio steering, sequential indicators and Honda Connect app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever you choose, you would have the best version of the Honda HR-V, ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
