Spy Shots: 2022 Honda HR-V

The next-generation Honda HR-V has been spotted in camouflage. Here's what we know about this compact SUV.

The 3rd generation Honda HR-V is due for a reveal towards the end of 2021, and we're keen to see what Honda does with this SUV. Details are scarce at the moment, we've got no inkling of powertrain options, but we suspect that petrol options are on the cards and we would bank on there being some form of electrification for the European market.

Visually, what you see here is quite impressive. Adopting modern urban SUV design cues, the next-gen Honda HR-V looks more like an SUV coupe.

Honda ends production of second-generation HR-V

Crossover bows out to make way for dramatically restyled, electrified-only successor

Honda has ended production of the HR-V crossover, several months before its radically different successor is expected to be unwrapped.

The Nissan Juke rival has been taken off Honda's website after seven years on sale, leaving the brand with four models - the Civic, CR-V, E and Jazz - in its UK line-up until the next HR-V goes on sale, likely late this year or in early 2022.

The HR-V was taken out of production late last year in accordance with changes to real-world driving emissions regulations (RDE2) that came into effect from 1 January 2021. New examples are now available only from dealer stock.

The HR-V was available with either a 1.5-litre petrol engine or a 1.6-litre diesel engine, neither of which will return for the next-generation car, which will be available with exclusively electrified powertrains in line with Honda's promise to phase out all ICE-only models in Europe by 2022.

Next-generation Honda HR-V teased ahead of February 2021 reveal

Honda has released a couple of teaser images ahead of the February 2021 reveal of its next-generation HR-V.

Set to be fully unveiled on 18 February 2021, the small crossover will ship standard in Europe with the Japanese firm’s two-motor hybrid technology (complete with the “e:HEV” badge).

The company claims the hybrid set-up “combines high efficiency with refined, fun-to-drive performance” and says the move is the “latest step” in its commitment to “electrify all its mainstream models in Europe by 2022”.

The HR-V will become the latest model in Honda Europe's line-up to wear the “e:HEV” powertrain badging, joining the CR-V and Jazz.

New Honda HR-V: interior previewed ahead of 18 February unveil

New HR-V e:HEV will ditch pure petrol and diesel power for an exclusively electrified offering

Honda has released a few hints at the interior of the upcoming new HR-V ahead of its reveal next week, revealing a cabin redesign for the model.

The third-generation Honda HR-V will be revealed on 18 February as an electrified crossover to rival the Ford Puma and Nissan Juke.

Now officially called the HR-V e:HEV, the SUV will be sold exclusively with a hybrid powertrain from launch in line with Honda's strategy to electrify its entire European line-up by 2022.

Technical details remain unconfirmed, but the HR-V will likely use a variation of the larger CR-V Hybrid's powertrain – which mates a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with a pair of electric motors and a new fixed-gear transmission – or the smaller Jazz supermini's similar 1.5-litre set-up.

It's possible that, like the electrified CR-V, the HR-V will be available with a choice of front- or four-wheel-drive configurations. Honda claims it will pair "high efficiency with refined, fun-to-drive performance".

New hybrid-only Honda HR-V brings complete restyle ​

Honda's Nissan Juke rival follows Jazz and CR-V in gaining e:HEV petrol-electric powertrain

Honda has revealed the hybrid-only third-generation HR-V crossover ahead of its European launch in late 2021.

As part of the company's aim to electrify all of its mainstream European models by 2022, the HR-V ditches the previous car's pure-petrol and diesel powerplants for a new e:HEV petrol-electric hybrid system promising "exceptional" efficiency.

Technical details remain unconfirmed, but the combustion element of the powertrain is likely to be either a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder, as used by the hybridised Jazz supermini, or a 2.0-litre unit borrowed from the larger CR-V Hybrid.

The first full images of the SUV confirm what previous spy shots and teasers have suggested: that the third-gen HR-V's design is a dramatic departure from that of its predecessor.

Honda pulls the covers off sharper-looking, new-generation HR-V compact SUV

Honda’s HR-V compact SUV has been given a complete redesign and the new model not only looks more interesting than its predecessor, but it’s also packed with Honda’s latest hybrid drivetrain technology.

We’re currently awaiting feedback on when the new SUV will be touching down in South Africa, but European sales start in late 2021, where Honda’s new e:HEV twin-motor hybrid drivetrain will be standard. But don’t be surprised if other global markets, such as SA, stick with conventional petrol engines for now. However, Honda has not released any further engine details as yet.

The new exterior design incorporates a long bonnet and sharper, more vertical sides to ensure that there is no impact on interior space. This, and clever packaging of its hybrid drivetrain components ensures that the new model retains its predecessor’s “class-leading” interior space, Honda claims. And yes, those “magic seats” - with their flip-up and fold-flat configurations - have been retained in the new HR-V.

The cabin has a more minimalistic design overall, while also incorporating more premium-looking materials. The interior pictures also show a large new central infotainment system, although as with the technical details Honda has yet to release any information about the on-board tech.

Honda HR-V

Honda has unveiled the latest generation of its popular Honda HR-V compact SUV, available with a powerful and responsive two-motor e:HEV powertrain as standard for the first time. The all-new Honda HR-V delivers exceptional hybrid efficiency and advanced safety and technology features, all incorporated into a bold and sleek coupe-inspired form designed to enhance the class-leading interior space and comfort the nameplate is known for.

Available in Europe from late 2021, the new Honda HR-V is the latest model in Honda's line-up to wear the e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) badge, following the refreshed CR-V and all new Jazz that launched in 2020. It expands Honda's electrified line up as the brand moves further towards its goal of electrifying all of its European mainstream models by 2022.

 
New Honda SUV e:prototype previews new Chinese crossover

Honda's first EV for the Chinese market and could preview a future electric HR-V

Honda has unveiled the SUV e:prototype, which showcases its first Chinese-market EV and could preview a future electric HR-V.

The new machine is due to go on sale in China next year and will be the first of 10 EVs that the Japanese firm will launch in the country within the next five years.

While few technical details of the model have been made available, it appears to be closely based on the new Mk3 HR-V crossover, which is due to go on sale in the UK later this year as a hybrid-only model. The SUV e:prototype has a revamped front grille to reflect the lack of engine radiator needed for the electric motors.

Honda currently offers the E city car as its only electric model in the UK. It has yet to reveal future plans, although an HR-V-size electric SUV would meet the growing demand for such models.

Honda says that the SUV e:prototype will offer “dynamic, yet smooth acceleration” that will enable to driver to “feel the joy of driving”.

New 2021 Honda HR-V: 129bhp hybrid powertrain detailed

Honda's Nissan Juke rival follows Jazz and CR-V in gaining e:HEV petrol-electric powertrain

Honda has confirmed key Europe-specific details of the all-new HR-V crossover ahead of its market launch later this year.

The Nissan Juke rival will use a variation of the petrol-electric powertrain from the smaller Jazz supermini, with which it also shares its 'Global Small Car' platform. A 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine is mated to a pair of electric motors for a combined 129bhp and 187lb ft - slightly more than the Jazz, likely because of the HR-V's increased size.

The electric motors, housed alongside the petrol engine under the bonnet to maximise interior space, are responsible for the bulk of the propulsion, with the engine serving as a generator. At "higher, more constant speeds", the petrol engine takes over automatically, but the powertrain can be operated in three different drive modes - Eco, Normal and Sport - for varying levels of electric-combustion input.

Honda has yet to confirm performance or efficiency figures, but based on the Jazz's WLTP performance, a combined MPG rating in the high-50s is likely, with CO2 emissions around the 100g/km mark. Expect a 0-62mph time of around 10.0secs and a top speed just north of 100mph.

The third-gen HR-V's design is a dramatic departure from that of its predecessor. Despite closely matching the dimensions of its predecessor, overhauled proportions and an emphasis on space efficiency (the HVAC system is as compact as possible, and the EV battery pack is mounted under the boot floor, for example) have raised rear legroom by 35mm and boosted boot space. Ride height is also up by 10mm, while the roofline has been lowered by 20mm.

Does the Mugen Honda HR-V look a bit silly?

As Honda confirms modest power for its new crossover, Mugen jazzes it up

Honda has confirmed the powertrain in its new, hybrid-only HR-V crossover. And it’s bad news, fans of going moderately fast, because the HR-V’s combination of electric and 1.5-litre petrol power yields 129bhp and 187lb ft. Around 20bhp more than you get in the dinkier Jazz hybrid, but still rather modest.

Yet it’s not stopped Mugen from wheeling out some assertive mods. For Japanese market cars - where the HR-V is known as the Vezel - at least. This is the Mugen Vezel, and besides the offer of a new exhaust and air filter, it’s not any gnarlier beneath the skin.

Mugen adds some attitude to the new Honda HR-V

The new Honda HR-V is arguably one of the better looking products that Japanese brand has revealed in recent years, but as far as renowned Japanese tuner Mugen is concerned, it could still use a little spicing up.

This week Mugen announced a vast range of accessories for the Japanese domestic market version of the HR-V, which wears a Vezel badge over there. Although there are no engine mods to speak of as yet, Mugen is offering a wide range of design equipment supplied by Infinite.

Customers can choose from a variety of 18-inch wheel designs in various colours. Also available to spice up the exterior is a large black roof spoiler as well as a tailgate spoiler, fin-shaped black door mirror covers, Mugen-badged grille garnish and bespoke headlight decals. Lower down you’ll see front and rear lip spoilers as well as a bold set of side skirts. For the inside, buyers can choose from various mats in red and black and Mugen-branded scuff plates are available too.
