- Many manufacturers lay claim to be the first with things, and Honda is no different. The original HR-V was apparently the first crossover as we know them today and now it's back as an all-new third-generation model that will be exclusively available as a hybrid - hence the e:HEV after its name.

![2022 Honda HR-V Hybrid Advance Style Review: The Sensible Choice? [Car Obsession]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NHDSj4yL2JA/mqdefault.jpg)
I don't understand why SOME of the English speaking reviews are really criticizing this amazing car! I test driven this car few times and I can honestly say it is such a fun car to drive. I don't understand why they keep complaining about the boot size, it is really descent size in terms of carrying normal day to day stuff from shopping to sport equipment's. If you are heading to Ikea to buy larger items all what you have to do is fold the back seat or use the magic seat for taller items like plants! Very good visibility for BOTH front and back! comfortable ride due to the 18" wheels, very Quiet, stylish look that gets people attention, support wireless apple car play and ( android, need cable though ), mid range has four USB type A ( two at the front and two at the back), new infotainment system, keyless entry, lots of safety features, knee room at the back seat is amazing even for taller people ( I'm just under 6 foot), Buttons on the steering wheel is not touch sensitive thank God, if you buy this from Honda it will come with many things added e.g. warranty, services and road recovery for 4/5 years included, 9" screen size that is decent ( not too big or small), digital dash board, drives great around corner, and don't forget it's Hybrid!
I did test drive few cars from Lexus NX350h, Toyota RAV4 to Volvo XC40. here is what the dealer will NOT tell you, any car that is above £40K you will end up paying almost £500 a year on tax for it as it is brand new and above £40K. The top rang of HR-V is below £40K, the mid range seems to be the one that will become more popular.
There are few things that could be improved but its not the end of the world and these are: wish there was a release button for the back seat, middle back seat is slightly raised which makes it good for kids but not for adults on long journey, wireless charging is only available in the top range and not the mid range, no USB type C unfortunately, the gear selector looks bit old fashion (big and tall) Tank size is 40L ( would've been nice to have slightly bigger size but since this is Hybrid its very economical), no rest foot area for your right foot, add front camera, maybe improve the sound isolation little bit for when driving on the motorway ( if you have music in the back ground you would not notice tbh).
Overall this is great car that will save you money as long as it's driven reasonable ( easy with accelerating and breaking )
A czy wyje podczas przyśpieszania?
@@pedros5352 tak, ale każdy samochód też!
@@mohamedabdullahi1474 Czyli Twoim zdaniem warto kupić ten samochód, bo się zastanawiam między Toyotą Chr a Hondą frv. Któty brać? 🇵🇱
@@pedros5352 Kupiłem już mój H-RV i tak dużo oszczędzam na benzynie. Samochód świetnie sprawdza się podczas jazdy po mieście, ale nie nadaje się na autostradę. Poza tym jestem wielkim fanem Toyoty, kiedy chciałem kupić nowy samochód, spojrzałem na RAV4, ale zauważyłem, że wydaje się on nieco przestarzały pod względem zastosowanej technologii. Nie mogę ci doradzić na temat C-HR, ponieważ nie prowadziłem jednego, ale powiedziałbym, że musisz przetestować oba i spojrzeć na wzloty i upadki dla każdego z nich. Wybrałem HR-V, ponieważ wydawał się nowy i przyciąga uwagę na ulicy swoim eleganckim wyglądem. Również zaawansowana technologia w HR-V była dla mnie plusem (porty USB z przodu iz tyłu, wiele funkcji bezpieczeństwa, bezprzewodowa gra samochodowa Apple i auto Andriod, lista jest długa...
I bought one and I love it too.
I admire all the guys who tells us about cars advantage and disadvantage and Sir you did a great video for me Honda brand is my favorite
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Yes had the hrv about a year and very pleased with the performance around 50 miles to the gallon keeping your speed down not racing it ..
Thanks for the feedback
Funny thing life. I love performance cars and yet this HR-V is intriguing and comes across as a fun little commuter.
I’m replacing my mustang with one. Obviously those don’t compare, but one does not necessarily exclude the other if you’re after a daily driver 😊
car looks awesome! Great review! thank you so much!

Excellent! What is the fuel capacity and hence the range on one tank?
Different trim levels ? Will any have AWD and moonroof ?
An almost correct explanation of the power train. One of the 2 electric motors IS the generator itself. So in both EV mode and Hybrid mode, there is only ONE electric motor to drive the wheels, the other being the generator which is driven by the petrol engine to produce electricity and send it both to the main electric and to the battery.
Great vid 👍
Thank you!
Just ordered one. Looked at the Toyota equivalent CH-R but heavy tailgate is out of reach for my wife, while the Honda has an electric tailgate that can be operated on the key fob. Thanks for your video. Regards, Bob M. South Wales
Thanks for watching and for the feedback on the Toyota, it's a good point. If you want to see more please consider subscribing. ^Dave
@@CompletecarIe Thanks for your reply, I just subscribed 👍. Bob M
Hopefully this model comes to the US because I want it
It should
The showing car color is good enough. Please tell the colour code or name.
I like it more than the older one … I think 🤔 it’s delayed for Ireland until late 22/early 23 … I stand to be corrected 🙂 if it’s anything like the Jazz it should drive good .. good review with a good explanation of how power is put on the road 💪🙂
Thank you! Yes, it is going to be quite a while before we see it here in Ireland. ^DH
We’ve yet to get this new HR-V in North American so I hope Honda gives us much the same car as in Europe. I have seen some pics of the U.S. model and it appears we’re getting a much sportier and jazzy front than the boring front facia of this model. We’ll have to wait and see.
The so called ‘sportier’ and ‘jazzy’ front you’re talking about is plain ugly. This model you see here is much more of a classier and sleek design.
It has already been discontinued in certain European markets.
As a long term HR-V owner that was looking to upgrade, their decision with the raised rear middle seat in this new model bamboozles me and means I won't be buying it.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback. ^Dave
Took one for a drive and found it barely was in ev only, even in town. Really nice package but let down by the cvt and engine noise
It really is a car for city/urban driving, that is where the hybrid system delivers its best performance. ^Dave
I have bought a HR-V and for the majority of drive time you cannot hear the engine, you can get some shortime engine noise on start up and if you accelerate too aggressivity, and I don't have a clue why you think the cvt is deficient. You require driving experience for best use of this car.
@@normie8895 not just me - many reviewers find it not very pleasant. it might be efficient but to have the engine revs crank up to 4-5000rpm at only reasonable throttle inputs isn't nice. Nothing to do with driving experience.
Brazilian na área!!!
Good review. hr-v looks great,nice rear light bar at the back. boot is very small, even smaller on the advance style you were driving
because of the updated speaker system in boot. its available in UK now and Europe,shame it and new civic won't be coming to Ireland till 23. welldone Honda ireland
It is a pity that it won't be here in Ireland for so long. Thanks for watching!
Same issue in USA…would’ve definitely purchased.
How long would it take to give fuel consumption in mpg as well? Gone to google the conversion.
Sorry!
Question: what is the life of the battery? And how much is the battery cost to replace it?
5 year warranty
@@letter1014 8 years here in Australia.🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It will depend on where in the world you are. Do you think it'll need to be replaced?
Honda should have reduced the huge rear legroom to improve boot space. Otherwise the car looks awesome.
May be it's good for big size people
It's not a bad balance
Many Thanks for the review, however; please specify the Engine power and the electric motors, when combined together.
Do you mean what each individual motor produces or the overall total?
@@CompletecarIe The power generated by each motor and the total overall HP power, please.
Fantastic design direction for Honda, less is more goes a long way. I'd buy this!
Glad you like it! The interior is very good too. ^DH
I wish the USA had this model… at least the grill .
You like it?
When does this come US
There is a new HR-V coming to the US, but it appears to be a different model to this version.
Is there any AWD variant?
Not in Europe anyway
Is this new car model available in the USA?
I think mid 2022
It should be
Not everything is ergonomic. The floor is not flat for center second row passenger
Not much of a step though, it’s minimal
@@bobmizen1 Yet it troubles me. It's not hard to make the floor totally flat. Too many automaker engineers are so dumb in this case.
It's very minimal
Is there sunroof on this car
No, there is not.
Test drove one recently. Liked most things about the car but the engine gets too busy/noisy at higher engine revs. Decided not to buy due to this issue.
Thanks for letting us know about your experience of it.
@@CompletecarIe Not a problem. I am sure there would be others who found the same issue.
Honest review about this car ,i need to address this things to honda engineers. 1. needs to put twin cvt add more power high kick motorway. Too much rev ??? 2. No 12 volts constant source in the cigarette port we need that for to power the dashcam even the ignition are completely off. 3. The 3 seat at the back some country honda dont sale this as 5 seater only 4 seaters, the middle head rest at the back cant be enter changed with left n right head rest,the reason if you put child booster seat. The end up tilting towards the front cuz by the head rest, the 3seat behind are quite tight for 3 adult person even harder when you put the seatbelt on. We need adult standard seat the back. 4. Im hoping all honda are protected "BUILT IN" catalytic "SHIELD" thats where the thieve main target . The hrv catalytic converter are very expensive and hanging underneath the chassi like a Christmas light and super exposed could be gone at least 2 minutes . 5. Apart all my concerns and needs to improve, the car built for comfort suit for my need
Think it's a shame Honda are no longer making their fantastic manual gear changes. It was the best thing about Honda's
What the heck is a Hache RV or a Toyota CH Or?
Trying to make fun of how someone talks? Not nice and not cool.
@@CompletecarIe It's ok buddy. I didn't say lol. Just love the accent.
Decent looking car, not disimilar from front to the old Hyuundai Tucson - not many stand-out usable features though (except maybe the rear seat flexibility). Honda's are generally let down by cheap materials, noise/lack of refinement.
Agree that it has a certain familiarity about the front. Had no issue or complaint about the quality of the materials or cabin noise in this car. ^DH
I think the current HRV(previous version) interior looks better than this one.. exterior looks good
This is a nice improvement
Those black plastics around the wheel arches, Jesus, they will be scratched to hell in a few weeks surely with normal driving
Can't agree more
All part of that SUV image...
Looks great, but I despise Honda's hybrid system. It's very loud and abrasive at higher speeds since it's acting as a generator for the electric motor.
It really is primarily designed for lower speed urban use. ^DH
When you settle at speed,say 120kph, the engine settles and the car is quiet. It only roars when overtaking hard and then there are fake changes to make it sound more normal. In fact it is no noisier than a turbo at speed and far quieter at suburban speeds.
Too underpowered! Why didn’t they put in a 1.8L engine?
Built for efficiency rather than performance.
Still dreaming in malaysia..uhh
Hi in Malaysia! Thanks for watching.
A sleek design (if derivative) compromised by a mediocre and under-performing drivetrain. Wish it was better than it is. I'd buy one if they gave it a 240hp linked up with a moderate hybrid layout and SH-AWD. As it is, a lot of buyers will pass. A used Mazda CX-9 has more appeal.
Tree different way. 🌳 ↖️⬆️↗️
??????
Depends what you mean by ‘innovative’. In reality, Toyota got there first, and they’re all joining the club. The mechanics sound a bit different c.f. Toyota, but it’s the same overall idea.
If we're talking about hybrids then Honda actually beat Toyota to launching a production hybrid with the first Insight. ; )
