KUALA LUMPUR: The all-new Honda HR-V has been in the news for a while now. Revealed in February this year, the car soon went on sale in Japan and Europe. Now as per Headlightmag, the 3rd gen HR-V is expected to arrive in Thailand by November.
Though Honda Thailand is yet to make an official announcement, the arrival seems to be near, as camouflaged HR-V units were seen in the country. Also, the automaker has started sales personnel training with the new model, further confirming HR-Vs soon launch.
With the 38th edition of the Thailand International Motor Expo scheduled for December, a November launch seems appropriate as the car then can be put on display at the show. Another possibility is Honda launching the car at the expo itself.
