Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan Limited is a joint venture between Honda Motor Company Limited Japan, and the Atlas Group of Companies, Pakistan. After long-awaited Honda Atlas has finally launched HR-V 2022 in Pakistan, which is the first local plugin crossover SUV.

Honda triggered a very strong marketing campaign but HR-V will face tough times and competition. Although Honda calls it a B-Segment SUV, its size is more closely matched with C-segment SUVs in Pakistan. Today we try our best to give a comprehensive compare the HR-V with C-Segment SUV and Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. In Pakistan.

HR-V

The All-New Honda HR-V 2022 is a significant automobile preferred by customers in more than 100 countries worldwide. The success of the Honda HR-V has been witnessed worldwide. Moreover, recently in March 2022, Honda HR-V was honored at Red Dot Award for its design on a global level. The reasons behind Honda HR-V’s success are its design, fuel efficiency, cargo & interior space along with its driving experience which makes it the “Smart Choice”.

In addition, All-New Honda HR-V 2022 is Exceptionally Comfortable as its interior is carefully designed, prioritizing the comfort and space for the driver, passengers and luggage fully integrating it within their everyday lives. The highlight of comfort is the roomy cabin, the design of the instrument panel with a neat layout, easy to use to bring high convenience for both driver and passengers. The platform configuration also allows Honda to retain unique Magic seat design in the segment, that offers 3 flexibles mode: Utility Mode, Tall Mode, Long mode with both fold-flat or flip-up seat flexibility, depending on purpose of use. To fully satisfy the entertainment demands of customers, Honda HR-V is equipped an 9-inch entertainment screen with high resolution, allowing connection to smartphones.

For the first time in the Pakistani Market a Japan CKD brand with two tone color is introduced, keeping the customers’ preferences to provide them with a more exciting feel of the product. The All-New Honda HR-V 2022 will be officially sold in Pakistan from October 22, 2022 through the authorized Honda Automobile Distributors nationwide with the suggested retail price as follows.

KIA Sportage

Kia Sportage impresses with excellent cargo space, a high-tech and well-crafted interior, and a balanced ride and handling. However, it falls short in terms of engine performance, and many common techs and safety features are only available in higher trims.

The Kia’s unconventional face features a set of alien-looking headlights and a distinct grille design. Its bolder bodywork is also dimensionally bigger than before, which translates to more cargo space and a roomier interior. Inside, the new Sportage is both attractive and packed with tech that includes a massive dash-mounted screen. Motivation comes from a 187-hp four-cylinder, a 226-hp hybrid powertrain, or a more powerful plug-in-hybrid model with an estimated electric range of 34 miles.

Inside, the Sportage makes an impression with a snazzy design highlighted by a huge digital display on the dashboard and other various eye-catching details. The interior is available in an attractive two-tone color scheme as an option, but if you prefer an all-black cabin that’s available too. The center console boasts a rotary shift knob, a push-to-start button, and a myriad of other controls that blend into the piano-black bezel.

Tucson

You can certainly forget about tumbleweed, because Hyundai has given the latest Tucson some fresh green credentials to crow about – it’s available with engines that use mild-hybrid technology for greater efficiency. There’s also a full hybrid and even a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The new Tucson sports a simplistic but modern dashboard design with a digital gauge display, a push-button shifter, and touch-sensitive control panel for the climate-control system and infotainment. Hyundai’s flagship Palisade SUV and the brand’s recently redesigned Sonata and Elantra sedans have served as a sort of watershed moment for the company’s interior designs, and the new Tucson looks to continue the trend with a thoughtfully arranged interior filled with quality materials and luxury features. 

The 2022 Tucson‘s rear seat space and cargo area are both larger than the outgoing model, providing more passenger comfort and practicality. Behind the hybrid’s back row, we fit nine carry-on suitcases, and luggage capacity rose to 22 bags with the seatbacks stowed.

Conclusion 

The result of this comparison proves that Sportage and Tuscon are very ahead of HR-V in features, performance, and capability enging-wise. But on the other hand, all vehicles are almost similar in size, price tag, utility, and strong brand value, HR-V is likely to attract numerous Sportage and Tucson buyers.
