The 2022 Honda HR-V e:HEV has finally gone on sale in Europe. The i-MMD hybrid is the sole powertrain available in the continent, a move that aligns with the automaker’s commitment to focus on pushing hybrids and electric vehicles only.
Three trims are available – Elegance, Advance and Advance Style, with prices starting from 31,290 euros (RM151k). That makes it quite a bit more pricey than before, and it has a lot to do with the complex hybrid powertrain. We’ve already gone through the new HR-V’s i-MMD hybrid system in detail, but you may read our review of the City RS to learn all about how i-MMD operates in real world use.
But just to briefly recap, the trio shares the same 1.5 litre i-MMD hybrid powertrain. On its own, the Atkinson-cycle mill makes 107 PS at 6,000 to 6,400 rpm and 131 Nm of torque from 4,500 to 5,000 rpm. The Traction Motor, on the other hand, develops 131 PS and 253 Nm of torque. That makes it 22 PS more powerful than the motor that powers the City RS.
The standard kit includes LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, 18-inch twin five-spoke Black Cut wheels wrapped with 225/50 profile tyres, an integrated rear spoiler, LED combination tail lights with a continuous LED strip, four front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera, electronic parking brake switch, and a nine-inch infotainment system with Honda Connect and wireless Apple CarPlay support. Android Auto is also available, but it requires a wired connection.
The range-topping model, on the other hand, gets upgraded with a 10-speaker premium audio sound system, wireless smartphone charging tray, dual-zone automatic climate control, twin USB charging ports at the back, electrochromic rear-view mirror, as well as faux leather/fabric seat upholstery with orange contrast stitching and garnish.
The top Advance Style also gets exclusive exterior finishes, such as a tri-colour motif on the top left side of the grille, dual-tone paint finish, roof rails, plus orange accents on the lower doors.
While the equipment level may vary quite a bit, the safety features are pretty extensive, and almost equal across the board. All three variants are fitted with enhanced Honda Sensing as standard, offering adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, AEB, lane keep assist, lane departure mitigation, traffic sign recognition, plus front and rear collision mitigation throttle control.
There’s also blind spot monitoring, hill descent control (operates from 3 km/h; first time for European HR-Vs), LED active cornering lights (top model only), six airbags, and Isofix child seat anchoring points.

Pity European. Pay so high for high CO2 emissions hybrid and for 18.5km/l..
1.5 Hybrid, but the CO2 emissions is so high compared to CH-R.
HR-V 2022 1.5L Hybrid 122g/100km
Tyt CH-R 1.8L Hybrid 109g/100km
Tyt CH-R 2.0L Hybrid 120g/100km
Seems like a dinasaur tech.
having a bad feeling this wont be launched here
Good that they have blind spot monitors. The local Honda gives useless lane watch, which is just mirroring the left wing mirror.
Dashboard and steering looklike mazda cx-30
Front bumper profile oso looks like mazda cx5 facelift
hopefully the 1.5 Turbo will be launched here in Malaysia. 1.5NA will be too underpower. They are already testing the 1.5turbo in thai, hopefully it will be launched here as well.
Thai roads are all turbos 3000cc from suvs to pick ups so sedans has to be turbo otherwise how to keep up with highway traffics my civic turbo is a minimum must have on thai roads insanely dominated by speeding 3000cc plus turbo yes 1.5t hrv petrol and a ehev version as well possibly by january
