The stylish and fuel efficient 2016 Honda HR-V crossover has been named a finalist for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year® by the Green Car Journal. The award recognizes the environmental performance of the all-new HR-V, which has a top fuel economy rating of 35 mpg highway¹ (2WD CVT) and an additional designation as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV2 ULEV).
“With class-leading fuel economy ratings and interior space, the Honda HR-V compact crossover is a great choice to replace larger, less fuel-efficient vehicles,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “The HR-V also fulfills the Honda brand’s promise to deliver both fun-to-drive enjoyment with outstanding fuel efficiency.”
The 2016 HR-V is available with an all-new continuously variable transmission (CVT) which targets both fuel efficiency and fun-to-drive performance at a high level. When equipped with the available CVT, the HR-V has an EPA city/highway fuel economy rating1 of 28/35 miles per gallon when equipped with front-wheel drive, and 27/32 miles per gallon when equipped with Real Time AWD™. When equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive, the HR-V has an EPA city/highway fuel economy rating¹ of 25/34 miles per gallon.
“The Honda HR-V is sporty, right-sized, and fun to drive,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. “Its approachable price means a great many drivers have access to a versatile crossover with a top fuel economy rating of 35 mpg.”
The Green SUV of the Year™ winner will be honored along with winning vehicles for the magazine’s 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ and 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ awards at a press conference during the Washington Auto Show’s Policy Days on January 21, 2016.
