Honda HR-V hybrid SUV review: more efficient than Honda says?

Показать описание

When the original Honda HR-V made its debut in the late nineties, the Japanese brand hailed it as the ‘Joy Machine’. The latest model may not be as unique as the original, but it incorporates several hybrid elements to make it one of the most efficient small SUVs you can buy. But are low running costs enough to make the HR-V a good choice against a list of compelling rivals? Rich finds out.

I have got 62.5mpg since new 8, 000 miles ago. Great car. Not exciting but quietly stylish

I wonder if the US will get this same model or if Honda will offer a hybrid version of the 2023 HR-V that they started making on the civic's platform. I kind of like the looks of this one better, but the HR-V that is based on the civic is more roomy. Will ne interesting to see what happens.

Black interior a must! Not white it marks easily

A family member who bought one of these cars now regrets doing so, engine revs it's head off (noise very bad) on slight incline, mpg lowest 43-53mpg average. I am now cancelling my order after waiting 9 months not as good as drive as people make out. Also normal motorway driving revs it's head off even when battery is full it does not switch over to EV

If I had to choose a new car to replace my aging Fiesta, would I go for this, No! Much prefer the likes of the Ford Puma, as it has something to offer me that Honda never did and I have test driven several of the Honda range but never actually put money down and this would be the same for this HR-V as it does nothing for me, except back away at a high rate of knots.

Grossly overpriced, as are all hybrid and EV..Once all the companies have bought EVs and Hybrids for staff, these manufacturers will have no choice but to slash prices, as they are simply in affordable for normal working class people, otherwise, millions of cars will gather dust at the ports..

Sorry, I got sidetracked thinking of great TV ads (cos this is the dullest car on sale). So, the 306gti photo shoot, the MK1 Freelander savannah mating ritual, and the achingly cool Puma!

Im asia my concerned driving in the motorway put your foot down half way down to the floor. this car won't run fast, instead revving too much.
