Pulling a load

The Honda HR-V has along been a left-field option for those seeking a mid-size SUV that is not only stylish but also very user-friendly and loaded with tech. The advent of the 2022 model has highlighted these features and given fans of the brand something to shoot for.

As many folks who purchase these often use their vehicles for family holidays or other active lifestyle endeavours, the ability to tow things is important.

Previous models could tow 750kg as standard and 1200kg braked. The new 2022 model does not have provision for towing as the manufacturer has not allowed for this. It is also important to note that the fitment of aftermarket equipment may invalidate your warranty.

If towing capability is an important feature to you, we highly advise speaking to your Honda dealer to find out if this is something that may be remedied in the future.
