Honda HR-V RS hybrid SUV Up Genting, With 3 persons and Luggage - How does it go? | YS Khong Driving

[@sks4728]

Theoretically when the batteries run dry, the 2nd motor acts as a generator to power the driven motor "directly" while charging the battery a little bit. So in other words the motor can run independently of the battery as long the petrol engine is turning the generator. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@peterkhew7414]

I'm currently driving a Vezel eHEV X variant in Singapore. It's one of the best cars I ever driven so far.

[@YSKhongDriving]

We don't have that one here, yet.

[@not-u8j]

@@YSKhongDriving I thought the Malaysian market rs have the same ehev powertrain as any other country...plus we do have turbo variant as well~ 😎💪🏻

[@dennischai4831]

Thats my ideal test drive with a full compliment to really gauge the vehicles capability uphill. Many cars are good on a flat surface but when you take them uphill they suck. With Bro. YS on the wheel.....if they suck then you can give em a miss.

[@ramenazul]

yes. hrv n cross both hybrid varian sucks on uphill.

Love HRV🎉

[@chines4012]

I have NISSAN x-trail hybrid. I have drove the same to genting last year which i am satisfied with it performance and it also maintain very well on battery power as compared to my previous Honda Jazz hybrid. In fact from videa shared, X-trail Hybrid is way faster than HRV hybrid and Toyota Cross Hybrid for both engine and chassis handling. Of course fuel consumption definitely uncomparable with both but still not bad compare with its heavy 1.6 tons weight.

[@isaac4396]

The XTrail should be compared with CRV though, totally different segment and price also.

[@ZGI]

Why is the speedo hidden compared to other cars? It was a good comparison tool.

[@kingqyum]

Adehhh meter kena kabur😫, video overall dah best. Yang kurang best meter kena blurry 🙆🏼‍♂️

[@jasonwong1358]

i dont know la this car 140k, add another 15k you can get Mazda CX5 2.0L High (yeah different segment, but if you look into gap, is a big jump, and HRV pricing is to figh segment C SUV as well).... then you have toyota Cross Hybrid 136K, cheaper by 4k (segment B/C)... I really dont know

[@rahkshi007]

At the place i live.. it Cost more exp than a new 2.5 rav4 lol.. and yes i took the rav4

[@YSKhongDriving]

I guess finally it does come down to available options for whatever price one is willing to pay for a vehicle.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Price always plays a part in the decision.

[@not-u8j]

As for me, i have test driven both hrv n cx5...no competition whatsoever the cx5 wins all! But, there is different type of people which has their own preferences, like for instance the latest gen pursuer which prefer not to get outdated as this car is a hype...the hybrid powerhouse vs na, the eco guy chose this powertrain for sure...n then the young lady which prefer a small suv than the bigger option, just to stay in their young life as an age statement, this category also apply to men or specifically young boys spirit...n finally the high rv type of people, that already set their mind to change to better car in near future, this car for sure sells very well as trade in for dp...but, as for me a jack of all trades motorhead...this hrv with turbo variant suit best to smoke the cx5 in dust whenever i found sluggish one on the highway~ 😂🫰🏻

[@Dane-p8s]

Top up another 100k get bmw better

[@kenny1357a]

I’m the previous Honda City hybrid owner. When I drive the car go up Genting, the battery didn’t help more, most of the time is the engine power up the car. Same goes to down hill, even I switch to sports mode. But the sounds still loud as this HRV 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

The previous hybrid system is mainly engine power helped by the motor.

[@jackdaniel623]

No wonder uncle censored the speedomoter, because the car is too slow.. might offend some people..

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha.

[@aimanfitri0iv]

it's still capable enough but most people will like the turbo variant

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's up to the individual. Each has its good points.

[@fadhlibukhori]

Hello Uncle! Just an idea, since you are using same route in your Genting spirited drives can you start measuring the fuel consumption for every car you test? You may fill up to the max at Genting Sempah then fill up max again at Petron Genting hilltop to measure the consumption.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, it makes no sense do do fc test on the climb, because this is not an everyday situation. 98 percent of the population do not drive like that, so nobody really cares what the fc is.

[@chupoposama]

Uncle YS, everyone's favourite pro-driver! Uncle, want to ask, how would you compare the HRV Hybrid with the Corolla Cross Hybrid (it seemed to struggled horribly in your previous video) in the Genting drive.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Both struggle a little whwn the batteries run low. On normal droving, both are actually great vehicles

[@katakpisanghitam]

Is that the gearbox noise dominating the whole video?

[@yankeewhiskeytea5955]

It’s the engine noise, the engine needs to work very hard to turn the generator to generate electricity to power the motor to drive the wheels at the same time charging the battery. It’s actually an electric car with a pasar malam generator in the bonnet, just that this generator can drive the wheels directly during high speed cruise 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

Actually the motor does the main propulsion: the engineers also make the engine accelerate roughly in sync with the accelerator pedal, and increasing the engine speed also increases the battery charging. The engine also helps to power the car during acceleration. During normal drive, it is more silent. Perhaps they could have silenced the engine a bit more.

Thanks: never tested or driven one. That's what I thought. I remember it had a small engine.

[@sgkoay1990]

It should be a 1.5T engine paired with electric motor

[@stubskututstuy]

Is this overall more noisy than the turbo variant? Which do you like more, uncle, the turbo engine or this one?

[@YSKhongDriving]

In the city, this is better: on the mountain the turbo is my preference. What I would like - a Turbo 1.5 engine and a hybrid system, with a DCT.

[@stubskututstuy]

@@YSKhongDriving Thank you, uncle! A hybrid system paired with a turbo engine with dct is really something! But that would be an expensive vehicle also 😅😂

[@hondacity1111]

Hi, why need blur the meter ya?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Good question

[@happy_forever8]

Uncle's top speed at 260kmph

[@EddieTeo]

This kind of uphill climb really demonstrates the weakness of Honda iMMD hybrid technology. Engine and motor cannot propel the wheels at the same time like the Toyota hybrid can. In higher speed or demanding drive like on uphill, engine is predominantly driving the car. A tiny engine with only 107PS at extremely high rpm of 6000-6400 for such a large car, the almost unbearable whining engine noise is not surprising at all.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Remembering of course that you do your driving most of the time on more flat terrain. We take our cars onto this road more to check out the handling than anything else, besides this road being one of the safest to check out any car. Anyways, thanks for watching our videos. And should any of our videos offends anyone, you are a free spirit, and you are not forced nor obliged to watch. Simply go to another channel.

[@EddieTeo]

@@YSKhongDriving No offense at all. Just my two cents on the i-MMD system.

Hi ys Khong . Which is better Corolla cross vs Honda hrv

Just wanted to ask the same question

[@YSKhongDriving]

Depends on what you are looking for. The HRV has a turbo variant that the Cross does not so of ypu want power, it's the HR-V. The Cross is C segment, so the trim is higher amd the size is slightly bigger, and the Cross is very stable and reliable. It is a Toyota.
