2022 Honda HRV Hybrid - First Drive & Tech Explained

[@noelsaw]

Hope this makes it to the U.S.

[@lsmocyclist]

It really needs to because Honda is missing in the segment and it would be refreshing to have this in their lineup

[@MM-dv9hp]

I am hoping this will be my next car purchase.

[@nmarkert01]

It will minus the heated steering and any sort of creature features not on the previous model lol.

[@tyehill302]

I’m hoping too! I’ve been waiting!!

[@vangxiong9643]

My parents just canceled their rav4 order when I showed them this car lol... they want this, this thing is effin hot!!!

[@siras2]

Love the car - hate the annoying music added to the vid!.

[@wesleyannjohnson3302]

This was one of the best car reviews I've seen for this model so far

[@nattga]

This car hit all the marks on my book.

[@frankoconnor2653]

Really good video, very informative and easy to understand, well done that young man !

[@franklinpark4475]

We getting this in the US? They killed it with the design. Great Job Honda!

[@salocin911]

I hope so!

[@vincentvalentine5940]

really? i think it's ugly af

[@ioman1]

@@dmillzzz1918 I was thinking the same thing

[@leroy5202]

The US version will be different.

[@ftr911drvr]

This design is a big step up for Honda looks really good love the front end. Their suvs are typically generic looking and boring

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

7:44 that button is for the front wiper, I use it all the time now in the cold with my winter beater Rav4 You can see on the bottom windshield theres the heating line... not for the rear wiper because you already have the rear window defrost button..

[@fordgalaxie3726]

The HR-V does not have a CVT. It does not have a transmission at all. It has one fixed gear and a clutch that can connect and disconnect the ICE. That´s it. The marketing guys invented the term e-CVT, because cutomers are stupid and would be confused if you told them the car has no transmission.

[@MrJpags]

This actually looks clean af. Reminds me of a Porsche

[@Hadji-sw3ct]

@7:43 The front wipers* @7:50 Front and rear parking sensors* @10:45 E-CVT gearbox* You're welcome.

[@lukemccall9231]

Oh my gosh…. The walkaway tailgate feature is such a good idea. There have been multiple times where I have pressed the button, and then had to rush to grab the item, and race away before I get hit by the liftgate hahaha

[@enriqueali]

Best 'real-world' review of this model I've seen on YT so far! 👍👍👍

[@chadntm8189]

wow honda stepping their game up :O

[@AndREDraut]

That's a very in depth review of the car, very nice, the model looks good imho. Very stylish outside and inside. Don't know about the engine combination though, it's more the relaxed cruising than a sporty driving experience I guess.. The boot looks spacious. but the numbers indicated by Honda in liters don't show that, 335 liters don't seem like a lot, the boot space of my Kia Picanto, a very small car, is indicated with 255 liters, but it's tiny compared to what the HR-V's boot looks like. I guess car makers have very different ways to measure boot space. I guess, test driving it and testing how much luggage you really get into it is recommended before buying. The magic seats are brilliant, I know them from the Jazz.

[@darnmg]

Great video, and actually helped me decide to order one (6 months waiting time tho) I had to get it in that red however its an extra £800. just one criticism is please lose the most annoying music.

[@travontoussiant3294]

Looks like Honda will be fine in EV market 👍🏾

[@alexanderingram2325]

That’s the same car and colour I’m getting next week really looking forward

[@dwightsbeetfarms3611]

It looks so much better than the new Civic! And the rear doors are hidden so much better than on previous model. I first thought it has only 2 doors!

[@keithblackwood4475]

New Civics are dreadful to look at. Had 2010 Civic s and looked so much better and modern. Just look dull these days.

[@stupid8911]

Well done! I may have missed it, but does this model have All-Wheel drive as an option? It's a handsome car that I think would sell well here in the US.

[@willbarnes9820]

This is just 2 wheel drive. For 4x4 you need the CRV

[@yorielynnsirena6178]

in japan yes. for the global market idk.

[@peterranks5553]

Thank you for such a really in depth and thorough explanation of this vehicle.. really helped me. Well done 👏🏼

[@t0nini0ni]

please help ...how to turn on the fog lights and how to see in to the display...THANK YOU

[@504yaj]

This is one of the most in depth review of any car in the internet! you got yourself a new subscriber!

[@dmixwell]

Why can’t I find this for sell in the us? We have a outdated 2022 model. Guess this is a thing huh ?! Always thought there were one model per year. Looks like there are two different 2022 models for the HR-V

[@AndrewJamison79]

Us models are delayed by about 1-2 years from European and Asian markets so their 2022 will be our 2023 or 2024 model

[@revampted]

if Honda CRV and Mazda CX5 had a love child

[@martincstee5335]

@HondaUSA What's wrong with you guys? The 2022 HRV is still the old model?

[@DarshanaHashendra]

How about the transmission ? I heard there are few problems in previous generations

[@raunakagarwal339]

Hope the new crv will come with similar design.

[@Twilight-cl3zc]

It is very similar, it's out already in parts of the world and all these new Hondas follow a design pattern, similar to what Mazda did. So the City, Jazz' Civic, CRV & HRV all follow a design pattern. Slightly less so the Jazz but you can see it in the rear even if the front lights are slightly more square than slanted.

[@glenjames3004]

Best review I've read. Excellent !

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

I always open the window by doing the same but with the Unlock button... never thought of doing the same but with the Lock button... gonna try that.

[@SaxJockey]

So you can open all the windows using the remote, before getting in the car? I liked that feature on a previous car.

[@mariand.1087]

A video online can be found that explains the transmission on these Honda hybrids. It's not a CVT, that's just simply wrong advertising by Honda and I think it actually hurts them marketing it this way. The petrol engine only produces 107 HP BUT in Hybrid mode it's not actually driving the car, rather only spinning up the generator (2'nd electric engine) which then sends power to the 130 HP main electric engine. So in EV and Hybrid mode, ONLY the main electric is the one that drives the car using a single gear direct drive transmission. Then, during Engine Drive (supposedly over 100 km/h) the main electric disengages & the petrol engine is now engaged to drive the car, using a secondary clutch and an "over-drive" aka a second gear for the car. So TLDR it's not a CVT by any means, the variations in the petrol's RPM usage are only there to spin up the generator faster which in turn delivers power to the main electric. Pretty nifty system (albeit not very efficient) and looks to be a rather bulletproof transmission overall.

[@eversun77]

Great comment!

[@milan4ever]

Thanks for the video. What is the cost of battery replacement?

[@craigchapman6613]

Nice video and car. I'm a Kia Niro owner, my 3rd Kia hybrid and I'm used to regularly achieving over 60mpg for at least 3 seasons in the UK. I don't hang about with my driving, but I am experienced in hybrid squeeze/ease driving and appreciate that many Niro drivers don't achieve my level of economy. I'm seeing a lot of 52mpg figures around these HRV videos, yet on a test drive on mixed roads, in quite warm conditions, including dual carriageway, I achieved over 70mpg, which really surprised the Honda sales man. Can any of the experienced HRV drivers confirm I would be able to achieve 60+mpg on a regular basis please, if I were to switch from my 74K mileage Niro to an HRV. For me, there is too much piano black in the new Niro model, resulting in too much reflection flickering, which I really don't like. I also prefer the drive shift of the HRV over the swivel-thing in the Niro. The Niro is very comfortable for my dodgy back, however I found the HRV front seat very comfortable on the test drive. Please tell me I can cancel the auto lights !! I'm looking forwards to some helpful input, thanks

[@hashfreshtodeath]

It’s nice! Side looked like a Mazda! , which is also stylish!

[@tysonfuryisthekingofwakand9208]

This HRV looks better than the USA version 100%.

Cant really see anything with the 13:07 for the blind spot monitor demo. Any ways you can do it again?

You can just seeing the icon flashing in the rear view mirror if you look closely

[@TheGU1T4RFR3AK]

its an eCVT, not a CVT. it has no gears or pullies.

[@jayceaik4841]

Is it going to be made wth handed drive only

[@taariifrp4648]

I'm stuck between yaris cross and honda hrv. Can any happy owner suggest which one to go. All i know is Honda battery is 1kw and yaris cross battery is 1.5kw hence provides bit better economy. Any thoughts?

[@phillipowens1493]

You presented a fairly good video of the HRV, my suggestion to improve your presentations would be to be more aware of the audio volume, it drifted from acceptable to quite low, this seems to be the most consistant error I find in most videos,(Audio Engineering) your video editing was quite acceptable and appreciated. Sincerely, Phil

[@mhenderson3407]

Great video! Thank you!!

CarPlay on this model can be used via Bluetooth. So you don’t need to plug your phone in.

[@febrybunbun6748]

How? I can't do that, tell me how

[@juliabedford2664]

@@febrybunbun6748 you need to ensure your Bluetooth is on in the settings on your phone. Connect your phone to the car and then in the menu on the in car screen where the smartphone icon shows it will change to CarPlay automatically and connect with your phone.

Will this arrive in Australia and what price would it be if anyone knows

[@eversun77]

It’s here and was 45k for the hybrid, but has just gone up $2k from August 1st. Now $47k! I think this is a bad move by Honda. It was already too expensive at $45k. It’s like they’re trying to lose sales.

[@kenphillips8074]

Not as much power, torque and back seats as the outgoing model.

[@inctru]

I like the front design, even though it looks like those painted grill slats are just asking for rock chips. The vehicle looks weird as it tapers to the back, however, so has an awkward, stiff, over-elevated look that goes along with the odd looking hatch slope. Rear design looks okay. Alloy wheel design is fugly & adolescent looking. Eye of the beholder, I guess. That's my 2 cents worth.

[@SRX2004]

May be different in Europe but I'm pretty sure this is the 2023 model which will come to the US in late 2022.
