New look and hybrid only for Honda HR-V

摘要

HONDA HAS REVEALED the hybrid-only third-generation HR-V crossover ahead of its European launch in late 2021. As part of the Japanese company's aim to electrify all of its mainstream European models by 2022, the new HR-V ditches its predecessor's pure-petrol and diesel powertrains for a new e:HEV petrol-electric hybrid system that promises "exceptional" efficiency. Technical details remain unconfirmed, but the petrol element of the powertrain is likely to be either a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-pot, as used by the Jazz hybrid supermini, or the 2.0-litre unit featured in the CR-V Hybrid, a larger SUV.
