Honda HR-V

Honda HR-V e:HEV revealed with Formula One hybrid technology

The Honda HR-V e:HEV has been revealed as an expansion to the brand’s crossover and electrically powered offering. The new product aims to expand the brand’s presence in the European market, among others, with promising consumption claims.

Powering the Honda HR-V will be the naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle 1,5-litre four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine which will be mated to an innovative fixed-gear CVT. This is coupled to an intelligent power control unit that sources power from a lithium-ion battery. Collectively, this drivetrain produces 96 kW and 253 N.m of torque to the front wheels.

With this, the brand claims that the Honda HR-V e:HEV will consume an average of 5,4 L/100 km on a combined WLTP cycle and emit 122 g/km of CO2. Where performance is concerned, a claimed 0-100 km/h figure of 10,6 seconds has been stated.

With the e:HEV system, the Honda HR-V is supported by three drive modes that adjusts the performance of the engine to cater to urban and motorway driving by cycling between electric, hybrid or engine drive, depending on which is the most fuel-efficient mode at that specific driving situation.

When driving at a constant high-speed, such as on the highway, the system operates on engine drive as that is the most efficient for that scenario. If further acceleration is required, such as when overtaking, the car will switch to hybrid drive for that additional performance boost.

New 2021 Honda HR-V: performance and efficiency revealed

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 Atkinson cycle 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 now confirmed that the set-up elicits a combined 52.3mpg on the WLTP combined cycle, while emitting 122g/km of CO2. The HR-V will get from 0-62mph in 10.6 seconds.

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.

Honda reveals first electric SUVs and three bold concepts

Firm announces strategy for electrified automobile business in China and unveils new EVs

Honda has revealed its first electric SUV for the Chinese market – along with three bold new concept vehicles that will all lead to production cars within the next five years.

The Japanese firm has plans to launch 10 electric cars in China, which will all use the new e:N Series branding, in the next five years. It also says it will export a number of those cars from China for sale in other markets.

The 'e' part of the name references the firm's e:Technology brand, while the 'N' stands for now and next, and represents "new value creation for the next-generation of mobility".

The first two e:N models, the e:NS1 and e:NP1, are sibling cars based on the HR-V and will be offered by Honda's Chinese joint ventures, Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda. Both are due to go on sale in spring 2022.

Honda says the e:N Series models will use an architecture "developed exclusively for EVs – it is a stretched version of the Honda E platform – and will offer a "sporty and exhilarating driver experience".

The e:NS1 and e:NP1 are developments of the e:Prototype SUV that Honda displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2020. The production models have five rather than three doors, and the links to the HR-V are more pronounced, despite the blanked-off fascia for the electric car.

Honda HR-V

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Honda's new HR-V is a decent all-round package with some thoughtful touches”

The HR-V is a mature and sensible addition to the tightly packed crossover landscape. Honda’s added some thoughtful touches to the car without loading it with gimmicks. There are better drives out there, and probably better styled cars depending on your tastes, but the HR-V is a decent all-round package. Sadly, it’s likely to be overlooked beyond those wanting to upgrade from a smaller Honda.

Honda HR-V 2022 In-Depth Review - The Ultimate Hybrid SUV? - OSV​

This new generation Honda HR-V is part of a new generation of far more efficient small SUVs. It's a self charging full-Hybrid with a fiendishly clever powertrain.

And there's a sophisticated interior that retains the previous model's neat 'Magic' folding seats.

In short, there's lots to like here. A large number of HR-V owners buy another and this MK3 model aims to keep them loyal.

 
New Honda HR-V for SA?

Will the new Honda HR-V be offered in South Africa?

Sadly, the arrival of the new HR-V has not yet been confirmed. We have reached out to Honda SA to find out if and when the new HR-V will make it to local showrooms but we are still waiting for an official response.

Honda’s sales performance in South Africa has been fairly woeful in recent months and with no new product expected in 2022, it’s difficult to see how Honda is going to meaningfully compete in the local market.

Honda HR-V [US]

The all-new Honda HR-V debuts a clean, sporty and expressive exterior design for 2023, featuring a bold new grille, longer hood and sleek roofline. Based on the award-winning 11th generation Honda Civic, the HR-V is larger than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase and wider stance while still remaining sporty and personal. The HR-V is the right size with the space and utility for an adventurous weekend escape, yet nimble to maneuver city streets. Set to launch in summer 2022, HR-V will feature a more responsive engine and a new independent rear suspension, giving the compact SUV a more confident, refined and fun-to-drive personality.

"By gaining aspirational qualities beyond its segment, the all-new 2023 Honda HR-V will welcome a new generation of customers to Honda and grow in importance as a gateway to the Honda brand," said Michael Kistemaker, assistant vice president of Automobile Sales of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "This new HR-V will advance its position as the segment leader with young buyers, first-time buyers, and multicultural customers."

Inspired by the thrill of new experiences, Honda HR-V's design is ambitious with a strong sense of adventure. A low horizontal beltline that begins with its extended hood and continues over the swell of the rear fenders gives its flowing forms a sense of motion. Wide-set LED headlights and taillights emphasize HR-V's athletic stance. A sculpted hatch and functional tailgate spoiler highlight its sporty proportions.

The 2023 Honda HR-V Is Here And It's Finally Trying

The 2023 Honda HR-V debuts a design that drivers might actually look forward to

When the Honda HR-V debuted in the U.S. over a decade ago, it did so with all the charm of a cutting board; it was a solid, reliable platform that you could use everyday and yet totally ignore. But this could change now that the 2023 Honda HR-V is finally here with a redesign that borrows heavily from the latest Honda Civic. The Honda HR-V is finally trying to get our attention, and I think that with this second generation (in the U.S.), the HR-V does actually deserve it.

Come to think of it, it’s harder now to overlook that the outgoing Honda HR-V shared design language with the CR-V. And that the CR-V looked like Honda stretched the face of a contemporary Civic over too-big a frame. All three older Hondas shared a vaguely flat face — to some degree. Even if the previous HR-V wasn’t as ugly as the CR-V or Civic, it wasn’t exactly good-looking.

This new HR-V has a longer hood and with its narrow headlights set high, the crossover looks sleeker than before. The snout keeps the underbite, but it’s less.

New Honda HR-V revealed in US ahead of 2023 European launch

Honda Civic-based crossover is unrelated to the HR-V on sale here; will eventually be offered alongside it

Honda has revealed the all-new US-market HR-V, which is unrelated to the Honda HR-V launched in Europe last year but will eventually be sold alongside it here under a different name.

Previewed as part of an electrification strategy presentation last month, the new HR-V has been designed with a focus on attracting younger buyers, and as such majors on "sporty and expressive" design cues, enhanced dynamics, practicality and agility.

It's a similar size to the Honda CR-V, a move taken with a view to upsizing the latter in its next iteration to better compete with the Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Highlander.

Recent spy shots give an idea of just how extensively Honda's largest European model will be redesigned and re-engineered.

The US version of the HR-V bears minimal resemblance to the new HR-V that Autocar recently road-tested. However, as with that car (and all other mainstream Honda cars launched from now on), it will use a hybrid powertrain.

Honda E:NS1 goes on sale in China

After unveiling the E:NS1 back in October 2021, Honda officially launched it yesterday. This is Honda’s first all-electric car in China manufactured in a joint-venture with Dongfeng Motor. The explanation for naming of the new Honda is quite simple: e stands for Energize or Electric and N stands for New or Next according to the automaker.

The E:NS1 comes with a single motor that puts out a respectable 310Nm of torque and it has two power outputs - 150kW (201hp) and 134kW (180hp); it should make the car spritely since it’s only 4,39m long and 1,79m wide. Range according to the super optimistic CLTC comes in two flavors - either 420km or 510km depending on which model you go for, the slower one comes with 53.6kWh lithium-ion battery and the faster one comes with 68.8kWh pack.

This first electric Honda comes well equipped to fight for Chinese customers - it has the latest Honda Connect 3.0, 15.1” central screen and even a Driver Monitoring camera to make sure the driver pays attention at all times. The design is clearly a new HR-V with slight changes to the front and prominent Honda logo illuminated sitting proudly in the middle of the front bumper. The rear does away with the logo having the name simply spelled out across the boot lid.

New Honda HR-V on sale soon

The new generation Honda HR-V was revealed last year. The new stylish SUV/Crossover will arrive in SA soon.

Honda revealed its third-generation HR-V in early 2021 and we think Honda has hit the styling on the head! Would you agree?

The Japanese brand is keen to defend its position in the compact crossover market and this redesigned HR-V should give a good account of itself, in that role.

A colour-coded grille, which appears integrated as part of the bumper moulding, and slim headlamps, give the HR-V a very futuristic appearance. Hidden rear door handles, intricate pattern LED and a light strip connecting the taillamps, are all design details meant to give the HR-V a more upmarket look.

When will the new Honda HR-V be offered in South Africa?

Honda SA is planning to introduce the new HR-V locally in June 2022 although the engine range and specification levels will only be announced at the local launch in June.
