The all-new Honda HR-V will be one of the most efficient cars in its class and boast an unmatched combination of sought-after attributes when it arrives in UK showrooms this summer, the company says.
It will be offered from launch with a choice of 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel and 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engines, both from Honda’s advanced Earth Dreams Technology series.
Combining the 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel paired with a newly engineered six-speed manual transmission, Honda’s new subcompact SUV will return fuel economy figures from 71mpg, with CO2 emissions starting from just 104g/km. HR-V customers won’t find performance compromised by the car’s frugality, however, with 118bhp powering the new HR-V from 0-62mph in 10.1 seconds.
Petrol buyers can select a 127bhp 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine, achieving combined fuel economy of 54.2mpg and CO2 emissions from 120g/km when they opt for the CVT automatic transmission.
When married with the standard six-speed manual, the new petrol-powered HR-V delivers fuel economy of 50mpg and CO2 emissions at a highly competitive 130g/km. Sprightly performance is assured with 62mph reached from standstill in just 10.3 seconds with the manual and 10.9 seconds when equipped with the optional CVT.
