A model that takes its place alongside the refreshed CR-V and the smallest model in the range, the Jazz, which is only available with a hybrid powertrain.
The e:HEV has received positive reviews across Europe for combining powerful performance with high levels of efficient and quiet operation in real-world conditions. The HR-V is suitable for everyday use, combining the responsiveness and efficiency of an electric vehicle with the practicality of conventional powertrain models.
The system consists of two compact, powerful electric motors working in conjunction with a 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC Atkinson cycle petrol engine, a lithium-ion battery and an innovative transmission combined with an intelligent power control unit. The system builds on the expertise Honda has gained through its 20 years of involvement with hybrid road car technology and Formula 1®.
What sets the e:HEV system apart is the way in which the three drive modes continuously alternate to ensure optimal performance of each program both in the city and on the highway. The Intelligent Electronic Control Unit automatically and continuously controls the switching between the three drive modes Electric Drive, Hybrid Drive or Engine Drive depending on which is the most efficient in any given situation.
For a more 'electric' experience, drivers can select program B for the transmission, which offers selectable levels of energy recovery when rolling or braking. The level of energy recovery and subsequent braking power can be significantly increased over program D by making use of the steering wheel paddles.
The e:HEV system in the HR-V has a higher level of energy density that allows it to produce more torque. The result is an effortless and comfortable journey, both on urban routes and at highway speeds. The HR-V e:HEV's power output reaches 131 hp and torque reaches 253 Nm. The efficient hybrid system's CO2 emissions start from 122 g/km (WLTP) and fuel consumption from 5.4L/100km (WLTP), while the HR-V's 0-100 km/h acceleration is achieved in 10.6 seconds.
Honda has a long tradition of hybrid systems. The first Insight in 1999 established the brand as a global pioneer of hybrid technology. Honda has continued to evolve its hybrid technology, and the advanced e:HEV dual electric motor system is now used in the Jazz, CR-V, the new HR-V and the upcoming 11th generation Civic.
