The all-new 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 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.
The next-generation HR-V
e:HEV achieves a distinctive SUV presence in a compact coupe-inspired
design. The new model embodies the brand's seamless, clean, modern
design philosophy seen in other recent new Honda models, that follows
the key concepts of function and beauty.
The design includes a
new bold integrated grille, while the body shape incorporates a long
bonnet and sharper, more vertical sides to ensure there is no impact on
interior space. The bonnet centre is low and flat, with a shoulder line
that flows to the base of the A-pillars, projecting a sense of stability
and security that further enhances the SUV aesthetic.
The
all-new HR-V achieves a compelling combination of premium SUV styling
and exceptional spaciousness thanks to the clever packaging of its
hybrid drivetrain components. As a result, the HR-V retains its
predecessor’s class-leading interior space, with four adults able to sit
in maximum comfort.
As with the exterior, the spacious interior
has a solid, premium SUV feel, but with contemporary fabrics and
soft-touch materials. The modern minimalist aesthetic, which is
initiated by the horizontal sweep of the instrument panel, is the result
of an uncluttered interior and dashboard, with each element carefully
positioned to contribute to the sense of space. The feeling of airiness
and space is elevated by a new air diffusion system that creates a
curtain of fresh air beside and above passengers, flowing from unique
L-shaped vents positioned in the top corners of the dashboard.
Thanks
to Honda's compact, integrated powertrain technology and centre tank
layout, the all-new HR-V also retains the versatile Magic Seats that
offer both 'fold-flat' or 'flip-up' seat flexibility, depending on cargo
space required.
The all-new Honda HR-V e:HEV will be available in Europe in late 2021.
