Been driving the HRV 1.5L version here in Australia for 8 months now and also owned a 1.5L Honda City, the same engine with Jazz/Fit. There’s a significant decrease in acceleration & increase engine noise. The Jazz & City drives breezy but the HRV screams ‘vrooooom am a tiny engine fitted in a bigger body!’😂 You expect this generation will have an improved cabin noise? Nope, still with poor sound insulation & even the speakers lack sound quality. The steering wheel is hideous, non-leather, polyurethane material that feels cheap to touch. I say this because it’s always hands on the wheel when you drive. Here, the base model includes the safety feature driver assist technology but excluded the blind spot monitoring system & fog lights that should come standard these days. Also the rear AC vents is absent here. It‘s essential for backseat passengers during frequent heatwaves & cold snaps! There’s also no spare tyre so good luck calling a rescue vehicle away from the city! Buyer’s remorse? As I owned a Honda City for a decade without major issues, the HRV is a reliable daily driver. But owning it long-term & loving it? No. The overall cabin comfort & driving experience is uninspiring. Speaker is inferior for a good music or podcast during traffic jams & long drive. You want to drive relaxed, swift & smooth but the engine is noisy & sluggish. I bought this model because I was desperate to get a car post-pandemic & it’s readily available compared to other vehicles with a wait time of more than a year. Second hand cars got expensive due to supply & demand. Verdict: avoid this base model if you want a fun to drive car. If the budget permits, get the hybrid or turbo variant. Just my opinion and personal experience. Those who own this model or planning to get one, please don’t be offended. You’re entitled to your own preference.🙂
They are not releasing any 2022 models anymore, I checked with my local dealer and they told me that I have to wait until next year to get one and it's the 2023 model which is repriced at 1,360,000.00 PHP and they didn't even include any upgrades at all, just a price increase..
We’ve heard of an impending price increase but it was not yet confirmed by Honda. As to the lack of 2022 units, it’s brought about the supply issues. :(

Thank you for your review. Very good. One thing is, can you explain more how to operate the switches and also its functions on the steering wheel?
your voice itself is an ASMR. Thank you.

In PH it has rear AC vents, donut spare tire
You dont get curtain airbags which should be the norm for its pricepoint

Nice review. HRV S or Kicks E-Power VE?
I'm comparing this car to the eclipse cross, which do you prefer?
Great car. Good luck in getting an available unit these days thought :D
That’s true! Hopefully they can solve the supply problem soon :(
