Honda HR-V Facelift images leaked: Honda HR-V crossover facelift has been leaked on the internet ahead of its launch in India.
We have already reported about Honda's upcoming cars at the Auto Expo 2018. The Japanese automaker aims to launch six new products in the country by 2020. And the HR-V facelift is also one of them. Now, a leaked image has surfaced on the internet, revealing the Japan-spec HR-V facelift.

In the Japanese market, the crossover will be sold under the Vezel moniker, but it will be renamed when it is launched in India. The facelifted HR-V features Honda's latest design language which is seen on the City facelift.
The front fascia of the Honda HR-V facelift features new LED headlamps, redesigned grille, contoured bumper, large air dam and fog lamp housing. The changes are not significant, but it is enough to render a refreshed look to the crossover. The prominent chrome strip with the Honda logo also plays its part in enhancing the looks of the HR-V.
