Honda has announced further details about its new HR-V crossover as the brand launches the new hybrid-only model in Europe.
Though revealed in February, Honda kept tight-lipped about many details of the model, including its powertrain and platform.
With Honda aiming to electrify all its mainstream models by next year, the HR-V switches to becoming a hybrid-only model. The powertrain is similar to that found in the smaller Jazz, combining a 1.5-litre petrol engine with twin electric motors. It’s more powerful than the Jazz, with power up from 106bhp to 129bhp, though maximum torque remains the same at 253Nm.
