Honda HR-V e:HEV: All You Need To Know

The new Honda HR-V e:HEV made its global debut about a month ago, which is when we also got to know that it will be sold only as a hybrid variant. Honda is also testing the HR-V on Indian soil and we are expecting it to join the line-up with the same hybrid powertrain, though we wait for a confirmation from the company. The Japanese carmaker has revealed the technical specifications for the SUV and we are expecting it to be launched in the same specification even in our market.
