Really glad that Honda is bringing back buttons and dials! I hate the interior of a Tesla Model 3, with virtually everything being controlled like on a mobile phone. Unfortunately, a car is not a mobile phone, in that the driver's priority is watching the road ahead and concentrating as much as possible on driving, not staring at the stupid huge screen in the centre. Bravo, Honda.
To be fair, I never look at the screen on my Model 3 to adjust anything; sound I adjust through the button on the wheel, and everything else is voice commands. I thought I'd hate the lack of physical buttons, but it hasn't really an issue at all.
Really refreshing to see a manufacturer actually care about the usability and not force touch everything on us. It is also much safer for us. Hopefully we will see a thorough review on the new Honda Civic soon, would be really nice to get your thoughts on it. The Savagegeese guys were extremely impressed by it.
I've been very happy/impressed with what I'm seeing here and in the new Civic. It's going to sound silly, but I think I love them mostly because there's no BAD decisions they've made. There's nothing to be frustrated about, and nothing that is going to age poorly.
@@filipepinto4361 Sure, but like, a nice appliance. There's nothing really to hate even from a style choice. It's clean, it's modern, but it's not terribly bland or over the top.
Great review! Thank you. Particularly that you took it onto the autobahn and let us see/hear the engine working, which so many reviewers are negative \about. But you gave an objective demo, which is very refreshing. The twisty corners drive feature was good to see - the HR-V performed better than I expected. I've got my eye on this car, it's on my short list!
Yes, they're usually not great quality in comparison to the hatch at the exact price but this may be bucking that trend. Interesting to see what they do with the American HRV which is more closely related to the new Civic.
We have had the most luxurious version (with roof rail) for over 2 years now and our experience with consumption is: 1:20 on the motorway at 100-110 km/h and 1:25 up to 80 km/h roads. Provided you control the foot pedal normally and don't want to run off like a Max Verstappen.
Best fuel economy so Far. This car is heavily underrated by all the reviewers out there. And its a Honda. Heavy petrol head here, i drive tested many of them before i bought one, from the likes of CX30, Toyota RAV4 ,Corolla Cross, CH-R Renault Austral, Alfa Tonale, Hyundai Tucson, Qashqai etc.. all of them hybrids except the CX30 186 Skyactiv X. -The HR-V was by Far the most refined (the Civic and ZR-V , CR-V are the only ones better though) , it has alot of space, noone will mention the luggage space beneath the back seats, which i would say is more then 100l , since there is a big hole underneat them (which are also called "magic" and can be raised). Space on the rear seats is like in Mercedes S Class, nothing i mean nothing comes close from those cars mentioned above. The space behind in the trunk is not really 320 liters, its is far more and also if you count the volume space that can go up till glass its plus, and not to forget there is a large socket in the trunk aswell, + its a flat space when you put your seats down, campers can sleep here with 180cm length . Also Few things to mention -The fuel economy is so great, in city around 2.8-3l without special treat, 3.8l during 100kmh, 5.5 during 120kmh, on 130kmh it is around 6.9 (the CX30 is better on highways) -The performance is around 8.8 to 0-100kmh alot quicker then stated, and is faster them most of the cars in this segment to 80, only the Hyundai Tucson HEV with 260hp feels quicker. -The sound isolation and especially the comfort is AMAZING, PLEASE DO NOT listen to those reviewers out there complaining about the noise, they don't have a CLUE what they are talking about. Maybe they drive Porsche taycans far too often or they just hit the pedal till the medal all the time... Only and i mean ONLY if you 100% throttle heavy foot accelerating on Sport mode (on eco is quiter but slower) the noise from the engine complaining is obvious and many don't know that the models from 2023 and 2024 have better insulation then the previous versions from 2021, which contributes to 10kgs heavier car weight. And for that 100% throttle , well lets be real you will be doing this only to impress or showcase the car, i would say Less then 1-5% of the time, since if you want to pass a car in your line, on a highway or uphil the electric motor by itself with 50% throttle is MORE then fast and the engine will be relatively quiet the e-cvt managing the noise, and if you lift your leg even 5% off the throttle it immedietely silences the roaring so you will get used to that play and you won't loose much acceleration. I cannot imagine how this car is so cheap compared to other ones in B or C segment. And the looks aswell... in the Sunlight White premium, it turns every 3rd head around, it's just Nuts how it attracts attention, maybe people don't know what it is or there are too few of them... You won't have that in Sportage or RAV4 or Tucson trust me .. (if you care about that, which i find it to be uncomfortable)
you are happy with the car, boot space isn't an issue? Is there any potential problem or annoying think you don't like about this car? I am looking this or Quasqai
Have the same powertrain in the Jazz and got to say it's been fantastic so far. Regularly returns 65mpg on my 90 mile motorway commute, very refined, much quicker than you'd expect in the real world and whatever dark sorcery is going on under the metal it's absolutely seamless to the driver. Oh, and it almost caused me to crash a 320 MSport! Was test driving the Jazz and 3 series back to back (the Jazz won mainly as it *slaughtered* the 3 on ride comfort believe it or not), pulled up at roundabout in the 320, spotted small gap almost identical to one I'd taken a few minutes earlier in the Jazz. Forgot that the Jazz is an EV at low speeds so instant torque compared to the slight lag of the turbo 3... Honda do seem to be on a bit of a hot streak at the moment, looking forward to seeing what the new Civic's like in Euro trim.
Hello Thomas, At LAST! well done. Another fantastic review. I have owned mine now for 2 months. One of the first on U.K. roads. A fantastic car. One of the best of the 79 cars I've owned. Cheers, Colin.
Reply to Colin: Your spot on saying it's one of the best cars you have had, I've had mine 6 weeks now and love it and agree with you, but I've only had 42 cars so got a lot of catching up to do lol
I live in the USA, my wife had a 2017 hrv, she just had an accident in it. She is fine, but we had to get a new car. They do not have the new hrv out here yet and the 22 here is almost the same as her 2017. We ended up getting a Honda Insight. The interior is very similar to the hrv you are driving. The gas mileage is really unbelievable, I have gotten 54.8 mpg in the first 1000 miles
Honda always nailed it on driving experience. I even suspected that they did not make it quieter because it was their signature, I mean they could but they just wouldn't
have a lot of love for honda's ergonomics and engineering skills (my first 3 cars were honda and acura). if honda could make a full ev version of this hrv with even more space i think it could be a huge winner.
one thing Honda is going back is with their Speedometer Displays...Honda Civic 2012-13 had the best Speedometer and Dials imo.. 2017 was also good but I loved the ones in 2012/13 models
Move over the other non-luxury brands this looks like a new best in class. Great review Thomas. P.S. just seen the boot size. If it really is only 319 litres that is very small so maybe not best in class after all!
This is the best, most thorough review i have seen. You did happen to skip the one very important feature that many people are dying to know though! Any idea If the seats have lumbar support?
This just confirms how great the Jazz is. The only difference is a 60- rather than a 48-pouch battery. Pretty much the drivetrain is pure Jazz but you save over € 5-6k and 180 kilograms over the HRV. I know the styling of the Jazz is a little boring but it encapsulates the ‘spirit of Soichiro’ better than any other Honda passenger car right now…
The suspension on Jazz Is not as good as HRV, so it's quite bumpy when the road is not so good. Otherwise I agree with what you said. Jazz cross star actually looks pretty cool. Xxx
Quite interesting vehicle, the eHev system proved to be very efficient in city and “country” driving. Too bad it’s not available with AWD (or “eAWD” like some Toyotas) and not so efficient in highway driving. Thanks Thomas
Agreed. I have a 2017 RAV4 Hybrid with the AWD-i. It has a 67hp electric motor at the back and it makes all the difference in snow. Even if the front wheels are slipping you can feel the rear wheels helping. Never got stuck and Ive been in some nasty situations.
Very good small SUV. Just there is an elephant in the room for me - it’s Jazz with higher fuel consumption, running costs, price, 0-100 and dimensions while keeping the same interior dimensions. Sorry for not being objective, I love Honda Jazz :-D
Nice review! I agree with you that capacitive touch is way over used as the industry try to be "cool". For fixed-function buttons, everything should be a mechanical de-bounce switch. Touch should only be used for dynamic prompts and menus.
Nice to see physical buttons and knobs. It was too bad the Honda dealership gave you an all black car, it makes it harder to see the exterior lines and the interior style as well. As usual, a great review.
Very interesting review. The use of physical controls for the driver is an excellent choice. Touch screens suffer from some disadvantages. The driver will have to divert their attention away from watching the road in order to locate a particular touch screen control. The HRV has many appealing design features, like the lift up rear seats. A most interesting vehicle.
The cost to fill up a Honda civic gas tank just hit $90 so I'm very interested in this new Honda HRV since it's supposedly get amazing mileage. I believe it was 4l/100km.
Quite a few have the full rear bar. Looks good simple but really nice and solid looking. All cars are pretty much the same looking inside and out I would like to see the nav being integrated into the dash rather than stuck on it.
Hi Thomas! the end of the video is kind of sudden stop. Are you sure you uploaded the full video? Otherwise real congratulations for all the work and reviews. Keep it going! :)
@@autogefuehl Have you thought about adding a join button or patreon to raise funds and do your cinematic style videos again? I think the extra revenue might counteract the benefits provided by the algorithm.
Honda really watched Mazda how to design a nice cabin of good quality and normal buttons. Mazda is still the most premium-like of all its direct competitors though. I didn't liked the HR-V on pictures (somewhat dull) but i've seen it now twice in real life and it looks actually quite good and classy. Not really a B-segment SUV anymore. Thanks for the great review.
9:00 Dude, you should sit in my 2019 Honda Accord (same as 2022 except for facelift) . All the features you're praising, up to this moment in the video, are in my car. Mine is 2019 Honda Accord LX 1.5 litre turbo 192hp 30/38mpg CVT 17in fat tires. It's quick agile and eats mountains . The leg room in the back is hyuge , a family starter . great job as always Thomas . there are faster more powerful cars but way more expensive and less mpg and space (and don't look as good). My goal was a small powerful engine with high horsepower and gas mileage. and I got a spacious nimble car, also, with the Accord. (The Accord Touring does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds) my LX is plenty fast and powerful for about 12K less. I saw my LX was listed at top speed 150mph , but in California it has a governor that stops it at 129mph . but when I maxed it to 129 it felt like it could keep going faster.
I drove a 2022 Honda HR-V hybrid for my road trip from San Francisco to Yellowstone National Park. I drove over 2100 miles and I average 32MPG for my trip. What I like: camping mode works like wonder when I sleep in it in camping ground when temperature was around 30 degree. It was comfortable to sleep inside while the engine is keeping the temperature around 75 degree. Well equipment with technology: lane centering, blind spot monitor, power seat for both driver and passenger seats, moon roof, Adaptive Cruise Control. What I don’t like: 32MPG is low for a hybrid vehicle. Lane centering is not reliable. Seat is very uncomfortable. It is the worst seat I have tried ever.
I fully agree with you that actual buttons are much better than haptic bs, but saying at 7:28 that this is your favorite feature of this vehicle tells all about the vehicle 🤣🤣🤣
Great video Thomas! Will the new civic bring back magic seats ? My 2016 has it and it’s fantastic ( model after ours dropped the feature ?) We use the feature for our elderly German Shepard cross , as he’s to old to get into the boot !
I hate these stupid touch controls! It’s a car, your supposed (currently) to be in full control driving it, not fumbling around with touch screens and touch buttons! All hail Honda for going old school and giving us clicky push buttons and knobs!
Buy the way, this is not the American version and is not available in America. Maybe in 2023? I just bought a new 2022 HRV in California USA and it is the same style as previous years' HRVs. And I bought this because I don't drive much. But if you need a bigger, better HRV definitely go for this newer HRV model (or the CRV). Great review!
im glad that itsstill fun to drive and has enough power because i recently cancelled my order for the hyundai nline, which you have also reviewed and thought that i had made a big mistake
H-RV comes with Michelin Primacy4 equipped and those tyres are really less noisy comparing to other tyres in this category. 70db 225/50/18 and doing very good job in wet and fuel efficiency if not the best :)
I don't like the "concealed" rear door handle but otherwise it's a good looking car that I would consider if they bring it to Canada. Huge improvement over the current HRV.
From my experience driving this car it all the depends on the charge of the battery... sometimes i could be doing over 100 on the highway and the car would run on battery an a full tank last over 2 weeks in eco mode
Could you please compare this to Mazda CX-30? Which one is more fun to drive? Which one would consume less fuel in 80-100km/h. Which interior is more pleasing? Which one has the edge in acceleration, overtaking situations?
@@faeinthebay I was wondering this. Thank you! Interestingly enough the back seat is TINY in the cx 30. It’s smaller than my 2018 hrv. But the trunk is much smaller in my current car.
I've test driven both although it was only for 20 minutes. I found the HR-V to be much better to drive. It has more poke than on paper due to the torque from the electric motor, much better brakes, better ride quality and certainly much easier to drive due to improved visibility all around. CX-30 interior does feel a bit more premium with leather (or leather-like material) across the dashboard but CX-30 infotainment screen is not very good and small. CX-30 also looks like every other Mazda and is known to have very poor air conditioning which is an important factor if you live in warmer climate. CX-30 should have an edge in acceleration above 60km/h for situations like overtaking or merging onto motorway, but around town HR-V felt like it has more usable torque.
Forgot to add that average fuel consumption for the test vehicles were running at 8.1L/100km for the CX-30 and 5.1L/100km for the HR-V. HR-V will use way less fuel in city driving compared to highway driving while CX-30 will be more efficient in highway driving
Great Review Thomas. A great Urban SUV by Honda. Wonderful dynamics. However, I still feel it needs a bit more head space and seat space for tall people

I’m sad North Americans aren’t getting this front. The model coming here has the same grill as a Ford.
Thank you good review ... i waiting my HR V 👍😉
👌
Very interesting review. The use of physical controls for the driver is an excellent choice. Touch screens suffer from some disadvantages. The driver will have to divert their attention away from watching the road in order to locate a particular touch screen control. The HRV has many appealing design features, like the lift up rear seats. A most interesting vehicle.
The cost to fill up a Honda civic gas tank just hit $90 so I'm very interested in this new Honda HRV since it's supposedly get amazing mileage. I believe it was 4l/100km.
indeed !
Good job, thanks for sharing it, greetings from Just Driving 4K!!
Thank you for nice review autogefuhl style look forward to see your review all new cr-v.👍🙂
🙏🙏

Great review Thomas. To me the back of the HRV looks similar to a Seat Terraco. Long live buttons!
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite CZcams channel by far.
Welcome 🙏
Quite a few have the full rear bar.
Looks good simple but really nice and solid looking.
All cars are pretty much the same looking inside and out I would like to see the nav being integrated into the dash rather than stuck on it.
Good analysis,good to be back.Thanks Thom
Love your reviews... Becoming my number 1 for car review 🔥💪🔥💪
Thomas please in future reviews tell what is the total boot space in litres. Thank you
Hurraaaa...physical boutons...
Nice review....congrats...
Hi Thomas! the end of the video is kind of sudden stop. Are you sure you uploaded the full video? Otherwise real congratulations for all the work and reviews. Keep it going! :)
Yes. Sorry we have to skip conclusions because CZcams algorithm punishes that 🤔
@@autogefuehl Have you thought about adding a join button or patreon to raise funds and do your cinematic style videos again? I think the extra revenue might counteract the benefits provided by the algorithm.
Honda really watched Mazda how to design a nice cabin of good quality and normal buttons. Mazda is still the most premium-like of all its direct competitors though. I didn't liked the HR-V on pictures (somewhat dull) but i've seen it now twice in real life and it looks actually quite good and classy. Not really a B-segment SUV anymore. Thanks for the great review.
thanks Matt keep tuning in !
Really nice sounds for my ears from honda buttons 👍
I like that car 👍 Good Job Honda and Thomas as great as usual 💪
Honda taking inspiration from Mazda. Clean elegant design inside and out. I like Honda's new design direction. Can't wait for the new Civic hatch.
I wish they would also bring back the Accord in Europe
Only thing missing in new HRV models is sunroof.. hopefully it comes with it soon
9:00 Dude, you should sit in my 2019 Honda Accord (same as 2022 except for facelift) . All the features you're praising, up to this moment in the video, are in my car. Mine is 2019 Honda Accord LX 1.5 litre turbo 192hp 30/38mpg CVT 17in fat tires. It's quick agile and eats mountains . The leg room in the back is hyuge , a family starter . great job as always Thomas . there are faster more powerful cars but way more expensive and less mpg and space (and don't look as good). My goal was a small powerful engine with high horsepower and gas mileage. and I got a spacious nimble car, also, with the Accord. (The Accord Touring does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds) my LX is plenty fast and powerful for about 12K less. I saw my LX was listed at top speed 150mph , but in California it has a governor that stops it at 129mph . but when I maxed it to 129 it felt like it could keep going faster.
Thanks! Yes old good features are rare these days
@@autogefuehl nice to hear from you. enjoy your videos . nice to see you cover so many car makers . keep on rockin'
I drove a 2022 Honda HR-V hybrid for my road trip from San Francisco to Yellowstone National Park. I drove over 2100 miles and I average 32MPG for my trip.
What I like: camping mode works like wonder when I sleep in it in camping ground when temperature was around 30 degree. It was comfortable to sleep inside while the engine is keeping the temperature around 75 degree. Well equipment with technology: lane centering, blind spot monitor, power seat for both driver and passenger seats, moon roof, Adaptive Cruise Control.
What I don’t like: 32MPG is low for a hybrid vehicle. Lane centering is not reliable. Seat is very uncomfortable. It is the worst seat I have tried ever.
Good review as always! On a side note, can I ask.. What are those glasses/frames you are wearing? They look very good :)
I fully agree with you that actual buttons are much better than haptic bs, but saying at 7:28 that this is your favorite feature of this vehicle tells all about the vehicle 🤣🤣🤣
😄
Great video Thomas!
Will the new civic bring back magic seats ? My 2016 has it and it’s fantastic ( model after ours dropped the feature ?)
We use the feature for our elderly German Shepard cross , as he’s to old to get into the boot !
I liked it on test drive, only thing missing for me was panoramic roof, not even an option in the UK 😳
I hate these stupid touch controls! It’s a car, your supposed (currently) to be in full control driving it, not fumbling around with touch screens and touch buttons! All hail Honda for going old school and giving us clicky push buttons and knobs!
I just KNEW Thomas would like this design! 😁😁😁
Love this car! Would be perfect if they made it in awd:)
I thought you can get AWD as an option?
Buy the way, this is not the American version and is not available in America. Maybe in 2023? I just bought a new 2022 HRV in California USA and it is the same style as previous years' HRVs. And I bought this because I don't drive much. But if you need a bigger, better HRV definitely go for this newer HRV model (or the CRV). Great review!
2023 I guess. then yes
Is this car sold in the US. I haven’t seen it anywhere
Nope, a different HRV is now being released. I've added a link below if you're interested in the details on it by Savagegeese.
You're so funny on this review, love you.
thanks my friend =)
im glad that itsstill fun to drive and has enough power because i recently cancelled my order for the hyundai nline, which you have also reviewed and thought that i had made a big mistake
Much better than the American version, the one we get here in the states kinda sucks
My verdict on the US version: czcams.com/video/23QY5XhTQms/video.html
Confusing since in some markets the 2022 is still the 'old' HR-V.
Is this Honda coming to US?
The rear lights looks like the Toyota Venza
Way better than the previous generation.
the radio sounds good... do you remember the version model of the HR V?
Advance model
@@mioszdugosz6030 good, .... I have already been informed that I will receive my Advance during this week or next.... this week is shorter
There's no match between mechanical and touch controls. Mechanical Controls FTW. 👍🏻
That light bar reminds me of the Cupra Formentor.
it's outrageous how Honda europe is not promoting the brand enought as if the european market isn't wort it
Some will say its a interesting time in the auto industry I will say its so sad, especially for us long range cruises
Rear airvents, nice! Why couldn't they give the new Acura Integra rear airvents too then...
Looks like Changan from behind
@autogefuehl thx for the vid! Will you test the new ZR-V in the future?
In some markets the HRV is also available with 1.5L Turbocharged powertrain, making 170+ PS.
Very interesting vehicle, but it was weird that there wer eno comparisons made to other vehicles.
The stock tyres are tend to be noisy. I've changed to Continental & now the cabin noise has improved alot for my City 2019 model
Interesting!
H-RV comes with Michelin Primacy4 equipped and those tyres are really less noisy comparing to other tyres in this category.
70db 225/50/18 and doing very good job in wet and fuel efficiency if not the best :)
'Conti are great tires, and still great motorcycle tires. I believe they are still manufactured in Germany.
Really terrible this isn't released in the US yet.
Something about the looks puts me in mind of the Ignis, but in a more usable size. Which I'm quite happy with.
Promise held. Thanks! 😉
🤟😎
Great review!
Loving this style way better than the macan look a like that goes to the United States. The rear in this style is very handsome 😍
I don't like the "concealed" rear door handle but otherwise it's a good looking car that I would consider if they bring it to Canada. Huge improvement over the current HRV.
They’re bringing it here this summer BUT it won’t be hybrid and IMO we get an ugly grill compared to this one.
Also the North American model ditched the concealed real handle so you may like that better !
17:00 when I test drove the Civic and Accord in Oct2019 , I loved the feel of the steering wheel.
From my experience driving this car it all the depends on the charge of the battery... sometimes i could be doing over 100 on the highway and the car would run on battery an a full tank last over 2 weeks in eco mode
Could you please compare this to Mazda CX-30? Which one is more fun to drive? Which one would consume less fuel in 80-100km/h. Which interior is more pleasing? Which one has the edge in acceleration, overtaking situations?
FYI, the CX-30 is a different category. The HR-V is a subcompact crossover while the CX-30 is a compact crossover that competes with the CR-V.
@@faeinthebay I was wondering this. Thank you! Interestingly enough the back seat is TINY in the cx 30. It’s smaller than my 2018 hrv. But the trunk is much smaller in my current car.
I've test driven both although it was only for 20 minutes. I found the HR-V to be much better to drive. It has more poke than on paper due to the torque from the electric motor, much better brakes, better ride quality and certainly much easier to drive due to improved visibility all around. CX-30 interior does feel a bit more premium with leather (or leather-like material) across the dashboard but CX-30 infotainment screen is not very good and small.
CX-30 also looks like every other Mazda and is known to have very poor air conditioning which is an important factor if you live in warmer climate. CX-30 should have an edge in acceleration above 60km/h for situations like overtaking or merging onto motorway, but around town HR-V felt like it has more usable torque.
@@faeinthebay Incorrect. HR-V is more spacious than CX-30 except for the boot. Rear legroom in the HR-V is amazing for the segment it competes in
Forgot to add that average fuel consumption for the test vehicles were running at 8.1L/100km for the CX-30 and 5.1L/100km for the HR-V. HR-V will use way less fuel in city driving compared to highway driving while CX-30 will be more efficient in highway driving
nice looking interior
Still hate the dipping back/hatch.. i prefer boxy back
L
Great Review Thomas. A great Urban SUV by Honda. Wonderful dynamics. However, I still feel it needs a bit more head space and seat space for tall people
Do a comparison of this and the Qashqai
The car you're thinking of Thomas is the Cupra Formentor.
The rear lights are similar to the KIA Stonic 😌
I like the square look but if the engine stops at a light forget it
Looks awesome
That acceleration sound persists at a constant high speed, let's say 130 km/h or only when you accelerate suddenly?
Now is this the "2023" model that's being released this year in the US?
Yes
However we do not know yet how the models will differ. It might look a little different
Let's see a review on the 2022 corolla cross hybrid, I suspect the cross is strangley more expensive than the hrv
