I would happily have one. It clearly does a lot of things very well and being a Honda it's the real deal on quality and reliability. Incidentally my Mum's CRZ doesn't have an internal fuel door release, so not all Honda's are like that!
Mine is 2 years old, I've had 14 cars, French, German, and an Italian, this is the first Japanese and the best, quality, comfort, behavior, safety, smoothness and driving pleasure, thank you Honda and sorry for not having tried another model before p.s. and it's simply beautiful👌🇵🇹
Typical car design of today. Big on the outside.....limited on the inside. Any car on the planet, whatever the cost, when your sitting in it, the benefit of its looks, if your really bothered, is from people on the outside. Cars aren't a status symbol anymore. Every Tom Dick has one for a couple of hundred a month. Important things. Is it economical? Is it reliable? Has Is got enough space in it? Is most of it recyclable before in a few years it goes to landfill?
Good review, but just a couple of points. 1. The locking fuel flap is not a common feature across all new Hondas. The Jazz does not have a separate lever in the cabin. Once the car is unlocked, so is the fuel flap. 2. The HRV in common with some other Hondas may be described as having an ECVT gearbox, but the reality is that it does not have a gearbox. The electric motor and petrol engine drive through a single gear, albeit a different single gear in each case. In fact this transmission is a true marvel.
I prefer the size of the fit/jazz and am sad we don't get the new ones in the US anymore. Please do a review of their new ones coming out! Thanks. Great video.
Nice video, thanks. Just please note that the REVVING AND GEAR SWITCHING NOISE WAS DONE INTENTIONALLY by Honda engineers as they thought a totally silent car was boring. CVT's DON'T HAVE GEARS, so that's your evidence that it was INTENTIONAL.
i replaced my 2019 EX hrv for the 2022 advance ehev currently with carefull driving to and from work 6 days a week im saving 20 quid a week compared to the old petrol only car, put it in battery mode you dont need to use your brakes untill the last second to stop, current global fuel economy is 55.7 mpg however if you use climate control and drive fast there is little saving over the old model......plus side.... fuel economy wireless apple car play big wheels for smooth ride high ground clearence and yes hill assist works off road, down side.....tiny boot no spare wheel no front passenger seat height adjustment tall rear passengers struggle with roof height. overall the spec from the old EX hrv was astounding the spec on the advance is lacking...no sunroof no leather seats silly center rear seat and droopy rear armrest.....in conclusion i was aiming to trade my way up to the ECRV but ive decided i like the shape and driving of this car to much...its a keeper even with its faults and saving up to £80 a month in petrol has got to be worth it.......and did you know you can wave your foot under the rear bumper and the boot opens...salesman did not tell me that. oh yes finaly the noise it makes when accellerating hard......honda managed to make it sound like its changing gear even though its only got one gear being cvt...very cool but its LOUD very LOUD im still young (58) so i like a loud roar but some people might not like it ...put it in performance mode and feel the electric motors and the engine shred the front tires in full power mode it is impressive i like it.
A brief but good review.Now running my second CRV hybrid, which has been 100 % trouble free over the past 18 months, just like my previous one.I know design is subjective but i love the appaerance of the hrv, and given that the new 6th generation crv is now over £46, 000 the hrv is much better value for money.However, my own research reveals one really disappointing problem with the hrv, and that is the continued problem of " flat battery ", even on cars only 3 or 4 months old.Owners are reporting that after leaving the car standing for 4 or 5 days it won,t start. As far as i am aware this problem has still not been properly addressed by Honda, which is simply not good enough.....have a look on the owner forums, ther are in excess of 12 pages highlighting this problem.Come on Honda, a software " re-boot " is simply not good enough !!!!!!
Is this a widespread problem. I’m going through many small SUV reviews. I think I’ve found one that I like the look of and will be problem free then something like this. I did check out the forum. Very frustrating trying to find a new car.
What a shame about this car. It was on my shortlist for the next year's change. I will probably buy a three-year-old crv ex then. Not a fan of the look, but reliability is extremely important to me
no cvt in this car, the engine works as a generator just like the jazz(fit) and civic and only has a high gear for highway speeds. For low speeds it is driven by an electric motor only.
Idk why you wouldn’t buy the base model as it’s better equipped than many middle spec cars from others and I don’t mean basic equipment, I mean proper luxuries like heated seats or dual zone aircon
I am very interested in purchasing this car but my mainly concerns are if there are any differencesbetween 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 models? I am also considering to purchase a used one. Is buying used Hybrid car, particularly this one, a good or bad decision? Thanks for the great review! Great video, very explanatory!
If you turn on the button for the engine to charge that battery and you said it feels like the breaks are on slightly, dose`nt this mean your using more fuel move the car along to charge that battery, so is this none counterproductive
Based on price and size I would rather go for the CRV hybrid although it is a nice looking car and will return better MPG , I don’t think you can beat the 2.0 litre petrol engine for reliability .
Actually pretty good looking for a Japanese car , downsides is the noise it makes when you put the foot down sounds like the clutch is slipping , also the non moving arm rest cant be moved forward as I am short the arm rest would be then useless for me
Honda , highly respected brand but this and the 2 others are quite plain and ugly . Even the zr looks like it was designed 10 yrs ago or more even a 2014 model Audi Q3 or 5 is better looking than any of the latest 3 honda SUV shapes. Shame honda havnt visually excelled since the previous models . Zr sport with a pack in metallic , but sadly no sunroof 😢 43 k sterling. It's not value ,in fact it's costing £££ a full EV price , 😢. Advice notes Back to the design board honda . Go to a couple of china motor shows if you need inspiration and want to keep or gain your mkt share.
@DarkAngel-ph9on It's not overpriced when you compare it to rivals. Especially when you consider this thing comes with an impressive full hybrid power train with dual electric motors.
@@alankerr6432 Agree. The base model actually has all the kit most people would ever need. The exterior doesn't even look different from higher spec models.
My wife is on her 2nd one. Loves it, perfect size for around town. High 50's mpg. 5 years servicing with it as well.
I'm buying one same colour I've had about 10 hondas never let me down great cars
Just about to buy. Definitely will now. Thank you for the honest review
I am now on my second eHRV. Really is a brilliant car. Thanks for the review.

No internal fuel door release on the Jazz e:hev either.

I would buy one of these. Good looking and should prove reliable being a Honda. Good review thanks
Excellent review. Thank you.
I've ordered mine. Great video very informative...thanks.
@ScottishCarClan Great review, very informative, I was wondering if you have a review of the previous HRV model, I am hoping to buy one.

I don't like the fixed height front passenger seat which I think is to.low
I think of the hold Chevy pickups when I looked at the lights

Well explained
Can you please tell me how many miles per tank Honda hrv can run?
If you turn on the button for the engine to charge that battery and you said it feels like the breaks are on slightly, dose`nt this mean your using more fuel move the car along to charge that battery, so is this none counterproductive
Wish we had this same body style in north america
Based on price and size I would rather go for the CRV hybrid although it is a nice looking car and will return better MPG , I don’t think you can beat the 2.0 litre petrol engine for reliability .
Its a Hybrid 😂😂😂
the fuel cap is not common on all honda i have a civic and you open it from the outside by pushing the door cap
Actually pretty good looking for a Japanese car , downsides is the noise it makes when you put the foot down sounds like the clutch is slipping , also the non moving arm rest cant be moved forward as I am short the arm rest would be then useless for me
I'm short also Toyota have a petrol flap button inside.
Its not a regular CVT in the hybrid HR-V.
I currently have Jazz EX Hybrid and am considering part exchanging it for an HR-V, the petrol filler cap on my Jazz unlocks when the car is unlocked.
Nice car as for pot holes come to Bournemouth bloody nightmare yes I would buy one cheers Keith ingram Scottish heritage 👍
What's "Scottish heritage" got to do with anything? You want a special needs round of applause?
I got a ticket for chance to win one. I'm hoping I win
Seems like an OK crossover but Haval is the market leader in that section right now. The price is crazy
Hi sale chap, would you consider speaking at Queens and kings English in future? Thank you for your understanding Telly Ho

Nice car but not having panoramic sunroof is bad
Honda , highly respected brand but this and the 2 others are quite plain and ugly . Even the zr looks like it was designed 10 yrs ago or more even a 2014 model Audi Q3 or 5 is better looking than any of the latest 3 honda SUV shapes. Shame honda havnt visually excelled since the previous models . Zr sport with a pack in metallic , but sadly no sunroof 😢 43 k sterling. It's not value ,in fact it's costing £££ a full EV price , 😢. Advice notes Back to the design board honda . Go to a couple of china motor shows if you need inspiration and want to keep or gain your mkt share.
Nice car without panoramic sunroof. No thank you
This review won't allow me to give a thumbs up . ?
Nice car but that khaki colour they offer…….looks awful!
Another overpriced Honda no thanks
All new cars are too expensive. Honda's are no more expensive than rivals.
@DarkAngel-ph9on It's not overpriced when you compare it to rivals. Especially when you consider this thing comes with an impressive full hybrid power train with dual electric motors.
Didn't like the comment about not wanting base model.... Thousands of pounds more for a couple of wee extras on the Advance?
@@alankerr6432 Agree. The base model actually has all the kit most people would ever need. The exterior doesn't even look different from higher spec models.
Fabulous car.. expensive, but lovely car to drive
I have a 2024 hrv cood car. The passenger mirror height at junctions can be a bit in the way.🫳 but good car.
