2022 Honda HR-V | Hybrid HRV Revealed

Honda unveiled the new 2022 HR-V for the European market. We're still waiting for Honda to show America's next-generation HR-V, which will be designed specifically for the US market. The US version will be larger, but we're hoping it will still look as sleek as its European sibling. It's not only the exterior that has been redesigned, however. Honda claims the cabin offers "levels of comfort and practicality unrivaled in the sub-compact SUV segment," with more rear legroom, improved visibility, and extra shoulder space. Now, Honda has revealed new details about the redesigned interior that make it one of the most comfortable cabins in its class. One of the cabin's most innovative comfort features is a unique Air Diffusion System that "introduces a new concept of air conditioning" with L-shaped vents at the top corners of the dashboard delivering "the restorative effects of a natural breeze to all occupants." It's a subtle effect, but it improves passenger comfort significantly. Honda's smallest SUV is getting a long-overdue overhaul, as evidenced by these spy photos of a prototype testing in Europe. The new model looks blockier and more modern than the current HR-V, which has been on sale in the U.S. since 2015 and in global markets for even longer. This redesign should make Honda's smallest SUV much more competitive in the crowded subcompact crossover segment against newer and more appealing options such as the Mazda CX-30 and Kia Seltos. From what we can see, the new HR-V's styling be similar to the new Honda Civic's, as the headlights look similar to the Civic sedan prototype shown recently. The rear hatch slopes sharply, almost giving the HR-V the look of so-called "coupe" SUVs. It's hard to gauge size from these photos, but we wouldn't be surprised if the HR-V grows a bit taller and wider. The most likely base engine is the 158-hp naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four from the outgoing Civic sedan. A turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four may also be offered as an upgrade, along with a hybrid drivetrain similar to the one found in the Honda Insight. Front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) will be standard equipment, with all-wheel drive optional. We expect to see the new HR-V in full sometime in 2021, with the global version likely to debut before the U.S. model. When it eventually goes on sale on our shores late this year or early in 2022, it will likely start around $23,000.
