Update<\/strong>: The latest 2021 Honda HR-V has been revealed as a compact hybrid crossover. Although this car is not the same with its predecessors in many ways (hint: sportier outlook), we can still see some of the classic HR-V features sprinkled here and there. It is also revealed to be a hybrid only variant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving on to the exterior styling of this car \u2013 Marketed in Japan as Vezel, the Honda HR-V 2021 is very much different from the classic HR-V, as it is more coupelike with a forward leaning rear hatch. It also looks wider and more angular thanks to the tall, wide headlights and the more vertical nose and with the numerous diagonal lines gone, this car looks way cleaner compared to the classic. You won\u2019t be able to see the \u201cSolid Wing Face\u201d slatted grille as the slats appear to blend into the body work to \u201cenhance the sense of unity with the body\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside, the design is based on the HMI (Human Machine Interface) concept. The meter and audio panel are laid out in a way that while you drive, you can also still enjoy the view. The switches are also arranged in a position that can be reached naturally without moving too much, enabling a smooth drive without interruption to the line of sight and flow of movement. Comfort is taken to a whole new level with the latest HR-V. Passengers are given a clear view of everything, inside and out and with the Panorama Roof with Natural Light (non-opening) and rear air conditioning vents, you will feel as if the inside and outside of the car are one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulling from the old HR-V again, the back seat still has the versatile split fold-down and flip-up functions. Exact dimensions for the interior and exterior have not been provided, though, so we’re not sure how much larger the new HR-V is.<\/span><\/p>\n

This 2021 HR-V will be powered by the same 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine and CVT as its previous models although the exact numbers are yet to be released. It will also feature the e:HEV hybrid powertrain which uses an electric motor to do most of the driving and the petrol engine to charge the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Japan, where it is said to be released in April, this car will feature Honda Sensing suite of safety features. Some of the features that have been improved in terms of performance includes autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and traffic sign recognition. There\u2019s no exact date on when we would be able to see this latest HR-V in Malaysia, but the excitement of seeing this car soon is enough to keep us going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hybrid Cars Vs Petrol Cars<\/b><\/h2>\n

In the past, petrol was our only option to fuel up our cars, but now, we have more choices. You can now purchase cars that are powered by electricity or vehicles that use both electricity and traditional fuel like petrol, also known as hybrid cars. In this article, we will be making a comparison of the Honda HR-V which is available in both variants \u2013 Normal petrol-powered car and a Hybrid car.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before that, do you know that no type is better than the other as each of this type has its own disadvantages and advantages. Here are just a few.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

Advantages<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Disadvantages<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Hybrid Cars<\/strong><\/td>\nThe main advantage of driving hybrid cars is that they are more environmentally friendly. As these cars combine fuel with electric, they have lower emissions than regular petrol cars do. Also, they tend to have better gas mileage too. Offering the power of a regular engine, but more energy efficient, hybrids are great for the environment. Not only that, but you can also save on the cost of fuel.<\/span><\/td>\nWhile hybrid cars have their advantages, these cars have a couple of disadvantages too. Firstly, as hybrid cars are smaller and more lightweight, they do not tend to handle as well as regular petrol cars do. Hybrids are also more costly to buy and maintain than regular cars are and as hybrids are built to be more efficient and economical, they are not as fast as regular cars.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Petrol Cars<\/strong><\/td>\nPetrol vehicles are the most popular cars on the market. They\u2019ve been around the longest and offer many benefits over all the other type of cars. The main advantage of petrol cars is that they are generally cheaper to purchase and maintain and also tend to handle better and are extremely efficient when it comes to speed.<\/span><\/td>\nPetrol is quite expensive, so fueling a patrol car is usually more expensive. The main disadvantage, however, of petrol cars is that they are not particularly energy efficient, and they are not particularly good for the environment either.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
