All of this is possible with very little extra effort.
It didn’t take long. The global HR-V was introduced by Honda a few months ago. Tuners already have aftermarket packages. Mugen isn’t any tuner. It was founded by Hirotoshi Honda (the son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda).
While major technical upgrades are not possible at this time, Mugen offers a custom exhaust system as well as a new filter that was inspired by race cars in Super GT and Super Formula. There are two 18-inch alloy wheels available in a two-tone finish. Both are lighter than OEM sets.
The new Vezel’s aesthetics are the core of Mugen’s program. Japan customers can order the CUV with a contrasting roof, side decals and spoilers. You can also get side skirt garnishes and front grilles, as well as spoiler extensions at both ends.
Honda released today more details about the Euro-spec HRV’s powertrain in related news. For a total output power of 129 horsepower, the 1.5-liter gasoline engine is paired with two electric motors. This gives it 187 pound-feet (254 Newton-meters) of torque. When the North American version of the electrified crossover is revealed, it will be arriving on the Old Continent at the end of this year.
