POWERFUL ECONOMY
The HR-V has both top-notch engine performance and fuel-sipping running costs.
The ECON button tweaks the HR-V’s settings to further improve fuel efficiency.
The new HR-V comes with two punchy engine choices: a responsive 129bhp 1.5 litre petrol or an extra efficient 118bhp 1.6 litre diesel – returning up to 71mpg.
And with Honda's Earth Dreams Technology, Idle Stop and the Honda ECON function, you can get plenty more miles for your money.
Top choice transmissions
The HR-V is front-wheel drive, available with either a newly-engineered six-speed manual gearbox or an automatic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). All in all, it’s one of the cheapest cars to run of its kind.
The 1.6 litre i-DTEC engine is unique to Honda vehicles on sale in Europe. The common rail turbo-diesel unit incorporates extensive technologies that reduce friction, improve emissions and increase fuel economy. The 1,597cc engine features a small, high-efficiency turbocharger, low-pressure EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system and a high-intake flow, high-swirl cylinder head port. A new high-strength, lightweight slender crankshaft and all-aluminium, open-deck, high-pressure, die-cast engine block reduce the engine’s weight.
Both the petrol and diesel engines are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, featuring several improvements for their application in the new HR-V. Optimisation of the physical gear width and layout arrangement allowed engineers to shorten the gearbox, while a lightweight and higher-rigidity shaft improves overall efficiency. The feel and quality of the gear shift is enhanced, improving the oblique shift operation and achieving a smoother, one-movement shift pattern. The effort required to engage reverse gear is reduced and the gear noise when driving in reverse is minimised.
CREATING A BETTER FUTURE
Technology that makes a difference now, and for generations to come.
Our aim is to continue designing cars that are fun to drive but easier on the environment. Earth Dreams Technology is the name we've given to our next-generation engines and transmissions. Technology that boosts performance and reduces environmental impact at the same time.
ULTIMATE SAFETY
We’ve packed a serious level of advanced engineering into the new HR-V that protects you, your passengers, and other road users.
The new HR-V is designed and engineered to achieve a top scoring five-star safety rating in the latest and toughest Euro NCAP crash tests.
Every new HR-V sold in Europe will be equipped with Honda’s City-Brake Active System. Specifically designed to help avoid or mitigate low speed accidents, the system uses laser radar technology to scan the road ahead, automatically applying the brakes if an imminent risk of collision is detected. The system is designed to operate at speeds below 20 mph. If the system identifies a risk of collision then pre-braking as well as audible and visual warning will occur, eventually followed by full autonomous braking to bring the car to a stop.
Mid and upper grade models will feature Honda’s Advanced Driver Assist System, which uses radar sensors, plus forward and rear facing cameras, as standard. This comprehensive suite of active safety technologies includes: Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Limiter, Lane Departure Warning and High-beam Support System.
Passive-safety engineered into the structure
Every all-new HR-V incorporates Honda's proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure technology to form the foundation for excellent passive-safety performance, enhancing occupant crash protection.
A network of connected structural elements distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. ACE also helps minimise the potential for under-ride or over-ride situations that can happen during head-on or offset frontal impacts with a larger or smaller vehicle.
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning detects the road markings. If the car strays from your current lane without indicating, the system alerts you with audible and visual warnings.
Traffic Sign Recognition
Traffic Sign Recognition automatically recognises road signs and displays them via the Intelligent Multi Information Display, so you always know exactly what you’ve just passed.
City-Brake Active System
City-Brake Active System is a laser radar system that scans ahead, automatically applying the brakes if a risk of a possible collision is detected.
Airbags
The HR-V has been fitted with airbags all round, including curtain airbags. Known as Supplemental Restraint System, the airbags offer you greatly enhanced protection while out on the road.
