Honda HR-V e:HEV
In a constantly changing motoring world, Honda has launched the facelifted HR-V e:HEV, complete with an impressive range of upgrades. If you are based in Lincolnshire and looking for a compact SUV, the latest HR-V is certainly worth checking out.
Honda’s design team has clearly taken on board feedback from customers, injecting improvements in the vehicle’s appearance, driveability, and NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) management. The front is refurbished with a new upper moulding sprayed crystal black that provides the vehicle with a trendy look.
At the rear, the HR-V sports a refreshed design for the full-width LED lightbar, which adds to its contemporary appeal. Inside, the lower central dash and centre console have been redesigned to improve accessibility to the wireless charging mat for both driver and passenger – an excellent touch for today’s tech-savvy drivers.
Beneath its stylish exterior, the HR-V is powered by an efficient two-motor e:HEV powertrain that balances performance with everyday drivability. Paired with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, lithium-ion battery, and a fixed-gear transmission, this compact SUV boasts a power output of 131ps. It accelerates to 62 mph in 10.7 seconds and has recorded CO2 emissions of 122 g/km (WLTP) and a respectable fuel efficiency of 52.3 mpg. Whether navigating the roads of Lincoln or going on a rural adventure, the HR-V promises a smooth ride.
Step inside the HR-V and you’ll find a haven of comfort. Honda’s innovative powertrain design, combined with a centrally positioned fuel tank, maximises interior space and flexibility. The versatile Magic Seats can either fold flat or flip up, allowing for various cargo configurations tailored to your needs.
The interior exudes a premium SUV feel, with contemporary fabrics and soft-touch materials adding a touch of luxury to the experience. The air diffusion system enhances this atmosphere by delivering a refreshing airflow through L-shaped vents strategically positioned in the corners of the dashboard.
Regardless of the distance you’re travelling, the HR-V ensures you and your passengers feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your journey.
Safety remains, as always, a major priority in the HR-V, which offers a full suite of advanced driver aids to help you feel more at ease on the road. All are designed to provide reassurance so that you can focus on enjoying the experience of driving.
The Honda HR-V e:HEV emerges as a strong contender in the competitive compact SUV segment. With its stylish design updates, technology, comfort and safety, the HR-V offers a compelling package.
For those searching for an SUV that blends flair and functionality, the latest HR-V e:HEV stands ready to make a lasting impression on your daily travels and adventures alike.
