All-new Honda HR-V gets sporty Mugen upgrades
KUALA LUMPUR: It has only been a few months since Honda introduced the new HR-V and we now have aftermarket packages in hand to beautify the vehicle further. And as expected, foremost in the line is Mugen with its amazing set of accessories.
Before we began discussing HR-V Mugen accessories, let us first get to know the aftermarket giant first. Mugen was founded by Hirotoshi Honda, the son of Soichiro Honda, Honda founder. It is to be noted that Mugen stands alone as a company, it is no subsidiary or division of Honda. However, it seems like an in-house tuner and is almost the first to come out with an accessory package for a new model.
As for the new Honda HR-V (known as Vezel in Japan), Mugen has introduced an array of goodies that includes a complete body kit and other miscellaneous items. The list includes -
- Custom exhaust system
- New air filter (derived from race cars competing in Super Formula & Super GT series)
- 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels
- Contrasting roof and side decals
- Different spoiler for roof and tailgate
- Garnish for the front grille, side skirt, and spoiler extensions
- Two-floor mat sets (black & red combo or pure red)
- Boot floor mat
- Scuff plates
- Door lining
- Carbon number plate garnish with matching bolts
- Metal Mugen emblems
- Door handle protectors
- Hydrophilic side mirrors
- Oil filter cap
Also, part of the kit is a high-performance Mugen oil filter and a range of lubricants.
Mugen has not introduced any major technical upgrades for the CUV, and what it offers largely revolves around the car’s aesthetics.
Speaking of the Honda HR-V, the automaker has released engine details of the Euro-spec model. The B-segment SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with dual electric motors. Together they make a maximum power of 129 hp and a peak torque of 254 Nm.
