It looks like it gets the powertrain of the Insight, not the Jazz. So more power available for the heavier car.

Unsure how they'll implement AWD.

I'm not keen on the front end appearance which looks like a full SUV rather than a cross-over and can't help the aerodynamics.

RHD is what the Japanese expect to see. That's why the UK was one of their first export markets - no need to move the steering wheel, etc.

According to all the Motoring Press the drivetrain is exactly the same as the Jazz but with engine probably tweaked to 150 bhp to compensate for heavier weight.
Interesting to read road Tests and see pricing when announced.

This correlates 100% to my observations. The cockpit gauges look exactly the same as the Honda Insight in the US, esp. the Power/Charge meter. 151 hp in the Insight over there.
The Jazz took over a detuned version of the very same engine/system but 151 hp would have been to much for the Jazz even though I'd have loved it.

Ergo my clue is: same system of the Insight in the US in the HR-V to compensate weight. The Insight goes in roughly 8 sec. 0-60 mph. I'd expect the same numbers for the new HR-V. If so then I sell the Jazz and switch to the HR-V. :) The Jazz lacks a little bit of power for what it is.

I don't think we'll see the 2.0 hybrid system of the CR-V because the HR-V uses the same plattform as the Jazz and they're not likely to canabalize the CR-V sales. Due to the weight of the CR-V I think the HR-V will be the faster rabbit of the two.

As the CR-V 4wd HEV and as every other Honda 4wd: power sent to the rear axle comes from the ant. differential, 
only Toyota uses another electric motor for the rear axle.
Very probably Europe will get only FWD trims.

Hard to get 150bhp from a 1.5 N.A. Atkinson Cycle. The USDM Insight has a slighty more powerful powertrain compared with Jazz Hev, about 20hp more for the electric motor and 8-9 hp than the petrol engine. 151hp is the total system horsepower, but we know that the most important number for the I-MMD is related to the electric motor and the Insight has about 130hp.
Also the battery could be a little bit bigger.

Motoring press seem to think the new HR-V will get a slightly detuned version of the CR-V power train initially then a lower powered version based on the existing Jazz power train at a later date.
However, I really wonder if Honda will want the complications of 2 power trains and just adopt one, a slightly beefed up version of the Jazz system. Also can’t see why they would need a 4 wheel drive version either, the competition Juke etc. is almost exclusively front wheel drive.

1.5L 109hp petrol engine and 131 hp 253nm for the electric motor, similar to the Insight.
No AWD.

Post by: Expatman on April 23, 2021, 10:34:21 PM
Latest reports today from Hondas confirm total of 129 BHP with 1.5 litre petrol engine. Same drivetrain Hybrid system as latest Jazz and CR-V.
So it looks like a beefed up version of the Jazz engine rather than a downscales version of the CR-V 2.0 L engine. Pricing from £22,000 which should make interesting comparisons with the Crosstar when all is revealed later this year. What Car website has more informations and I expect it will soon be in all the motoring press.
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: John Ratsey on April 24, 2021, 09:10:00 PM
The press release states that ground clearance and seat height are raised 10mm from the previous HR-V but the roof is 20mm lower which means that the headroom has been squeezed by 30mm. Perhaps the panoramic roof will no longer be an option and the total height won't be much more than the Crosstar. The big difference may be the HR-V's larger boot and slightly wider cabin. I also wonder what the ride quality will be like on British road surfaces with 18 inch wheels unless these are shod with big tyres.

I think the tide is finally turning against using touch screens for everything. The volume control on the new Jazz radio is also a knob. I have seen a few makes return to knobs for climate control etc.

If this https://www.hrvforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1598&sid=dfd7414728b4a302247499d82ea43280#p7748 is correct the you might be able to order before the end of this year for delivery next spring.

Make a list of the features which matter to you and compare the two vehicles. The HR-V is slightly wider and significantly longer than the Crosstar and much of that extra length is given to the boot. The Crosstar's boot isn't generous. The HR-V probably has slightly higher seats but I suspect that you'd struggle to notice the difference. My best guess is that the HR-V will be about 15% thirstier than the Crosstar and I anticipate that the 18" wheels on the HR-V will be less good at smoothing out the grotty road surfaces than the Crosstar's 16" wheels with higher profile tyres.

129 hp would be disappointing. The US Insight has 151 and its the same engine.
The european version is probably focussed on getting better fuel economy. It's actually the torque from the motor which is the biggest factor in performance under most driving conditions.

Post by: tennisl on May 07, 2021, 10:46:25 AM
Thanks for your advice John. The Crosstar "ticked all the boxes" except a boot size which is essential for me having two kids need a extra space for pram and other stuff. I am thinking to buy the Crosstar and purchase roof box (which is not the best option)...

That's true in theory. But my Jazz keeps the battery level (between 3 and 4 bars) so low that you hardly ever get it's full torque. I hope they'll spend the HR-V a better battery management or a sport mode which keeps the battery in the upper half of the scale.
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: Kenneve on May 07, 2021, 08:05:04 PM
You will still get the full torque, if the battery is low, then the engine will cut in, to generate the required power power, to compensate and assist the battery.
Quite happy with my Mk4, goes like a bat out of hell, if I want it to, much better than my previous Mk3 CVT,

Totally agree Kenneve.
Not long had the Crosstar but drives so much better than the MK3.

Unfortunately I had to rule out jazz/crosstar after driving on a motorway with velocities around 120km/h (limit 130km/h). Too much bothersome noise from the engine. And when comparing available parameters between HR-V and Jazz I'm afraid it'll be same with the bigger car. I run 1/3 of my driving on a motorway.

Would like to buy Honda but will have to turn to Toyota CH-R probably which has a stronger engine.

I'm surprised that engine noise is the issue at those speeds.  I would have thought wind and tyre noise would have been more prevalent.
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: Jocko on May 12, 2021, 10:39:21 AM
I have to agree. I have a MK1 Jazz but even at 80 mph the tyre and wind noise drowns out my engine. Once I am above 30 mph the engine is the least of my noise concerns.
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: peteo48 on May 12, 2021, 11:28:34 AM
Under hard acceleration the engine can rev furiously with the CVT box but, in my Mk3, once you've achieved cruising speed, the revs drop right back (2500 ish at 70). This makes for a relaxed cruise and I agree that the main issue then is road and wind noise.

Answer from Honda - new HR-V does NOT have passenger seat height adjustment.  That is a real disappointment and could well be a deal breaker for me as my wife needs an elevated seating position because of back problem. HR-V must be the only mid size crossover without passenger seat height adjustment. For the life of me I can’t understand why it is not included.

Expatman,
Don't panic about your wife and the passenger seat. When I sat in the open evening HR-V I put the driver's seat right up to the top and it was higher than my Karoq seat.
I obviously have no idea about how tall your wife is, but the chances are that the passenger seat, which presumably will be set around mid way to the driver's, would be plenty high enough for 6ft me with a very bad back.
So don't rule it out 'til she's had the chance to try it.

Post by: Expatman on October 29, 2021, 05:58:01 PM
Thanks for your personal experience, we will wait till we try the seat on a demonstrator.

Post by: richardfrost on October 29, 2021, 05:58:17 PM
Yep, I'm holding out to see it for real also. Have my concerns about the practicality of the boot and the size of the opening. I'm sure it will all be fine but would rather wait and see. I am in no hurry.
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: Expatman on October 29, 2021, 06:41:00 PM
Like you I'm in no hurry, present car is Skoda Yeti SEL DSG bought in Spring 2017 to replace a 2012 Yeti. Yeti's a great car but Karoq a bit too big and Kamiq seating is too low - hence our looking at the HR-V. I like Honda's from past experience.
I will wait to try an HR-V on a long test drive
Title: Re: 2022 HR-V
Post by: Karoq on November 02, 2021, 02:12:59 PM
To reply to both of you...........
The size of the boot opening is pretty big (can be seen on nearly every video review on YouTube Size depends on what you want to carry.  I think it will take a 26Kg Lurcher if it's dogs you are thinking of. Claimed 335L.
Seat height.......
Fully up the driver's seat is slightly higher than that of my Karoq.

The HR-V is very nearly as long as the Karoq. The overall sizes are comparable.
HONDA HR-V e:HEV
Length (mm)   4340 mm
Width (mm)   1790 mm
Overall Width (mm) with Door Mirror Folded   1866 mm
Width including Door Mirror   2028 mm
Height - Unladen (mm)   1582 mm
SKODA KAROQ
Length 4382 mm
Width  1,841 mm1
Height 1,607 mm
Hope this all helps.

Post by: Expatman on November 02, 2021, 05:40:37 PM
According to press boot volume is 319 litres, that is not much bigger than the Crosstar at 309 litres and smaller than most of its competitors. However, real test is how many carry -on size bags fit in and how much space left over for soft bags etc. Shape is as important as size in reality.
Thanks for info on length compared with Karoq, really not much shorter so will have to wait and see the HR-V in the metal and see how it looks. I thought a Hybrid would be a good half way move before going full EV, not convinced of charging structure and practicality of long journeys to remoter areas of the west country.
Height of passenger seat could be make or break!

Boot space will likely suffer when you're carrying a fuel tank and battery pack. I suspect a fair amount of competition sizes are not comparing apples with apples ?

Expatman,
When I saw it in the dealer I was surprised at the size of the boot. I think the litres are down due to the sloping roof line.
The actual area of the boot floor struck me as being not far off that of the Karoq which, officially is over 400L.

Fuel tank is under the front seats.

Thanks - I am a bit wary of quoted “litres” because in many instances the shape of the boot defines how many bags etc. can be stowed. I remember having a car many years ago that had a multi litre boot but it was so shallow that it was impossible to carry much in it at all.
Some of the road testers check how many carry on type bags a boot will hold but I haven’t seen any of those yet on YouTube.

Thanks - I think I have watched almost every one of the videos which are useful but not comprehensive, OSV and Autobears are ones I usually look at but not tested the HR-V yet. Plenty of time before I decide so will check new reviews as they appear.
