New HR-V Debuts with Modern Look and Unprecedented Connectivity
The 2026 line of the Honda SUV marks ten years of national production, celebrating a decade of success, brand loyalty, and recognition among consumers.
The new HR-V features a new front design with a black piano grille, giving it a more robust and sporty appearance.
The rear stands out with the elegant LED bar that spans the entire width of the trunk.
The Advance and Touring versions come with 18-inch diamond-finished wheels, providing a striking visual presence on the streets and roads.
The center console has been redesigned to prioritize ergonomics and usability while maintaining a sophisticated style.
The floating multimedia center replaces the traditional “tube TV” design, offering a more modern and functional interface.
Native Google Technology in the HR-V 2026
The major innovation is the multimedia center with native Google integration.
This means that the driver does not need to connect a smartphone to use services such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, and updates via Play Store.
The embedded system allows interaction through voice commands, elevating the level of connectivity and safety while driving.
The interface incorporates real-time navigation features, traffic information, and compatible apps directly into the system.
HR-V 2026 Offers Two Engines and Efficient Fuel Consumption
Available in two 1.5 flex engine options, the HR-V Brazil 2026 offers aspirated versions with 126 hp (EX, EXL) and a turbo engine with 177 hp (Advance, Touring).
The CVT (continuously variable transmission) ensures smooth shifts and balanced performance in different driving situations.
With gasoline, the HR-V turbo’s consumption reaches up to 11.4 km/l in the city, according to data from the Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program of Inmetro.
This performance translates to savings in daily use, especially on urban trips.
The aspirated engine works well for the audience seeking efficiency at a low cost with simpler maintenance.
Thus, Honda offers options for different consumer profiles.

This package includes:

HR-V Leads Sales and Consolidates Success in Brazil
The new HR-V represents about 66.7% of Honda’s sales in Brazil to date, according to 2023 data.
In 2025, the leadership was evident: the HR-V was the best-selling SUV in retail in April, with 4,340 units, and maintained the top position in May with 4,657 vehicles registered.
In the first quarter of 2025, sales grew 46% compared to the same period in 2024, totaling 14,160 units, consolidating its position in the top 3 best-selling SUVs in Brazil.
The model, launched in 2015, reached over 200,000 locally produced units by 2019.
In 2023, it won the award for best resale value, with a depreciation of only 2.8% after one year, recognized by AutoInforme.
This history strengthens consumer confidence in the HR-V, both as a product and an investment.
