The Honda HR-V (called as the Honda Vezel in Japan) for the European market has been revealed online ahead of the crossover's Paris Motor Show debut next month.
The Europe-spec model looks similar to the US-bound version. The key design highlights include sweptback headlamps with LED daytime running lights, a coupe-ish silhouette, C-pillar mounted rear door handles, muscular wheel arches and prominent taillights.
The European-spec crossover is expected to carry over the dimensions of the US-bound model which measures 4,295 mm in length, 1,770 mm in width, 1,605 mm in height and 2,610 mm in wheelbase.
Honda will announce the powertrain details in Paris but the Nissan Juke rival is expected to introduce the new turbocharged i-VTEC petrol engines - a 1.0-litre three-cylinder and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder mill. A 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel motor is also on the cards.
