BOSTON - Feb. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- With staggering fuel economy numbers that don’t negate performance capabilities, the 2016 Honda HR-V is a subcompact crossover SUV that has captured the attention of New England drivers. Now, this model has been named the “2016 Green SUV of the Year” by Green Car Journal, making it an even more attractive option for buyers in New England and beyond.
The award recognizes the brand-new HR-V for its segment-leading fuel economy ratings as well as its designation as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle.
"The Honda HR-V is a truly unique new subcompact crossover, delivering the space, utility, comfort and feature content of a larger vehicle, with the sporty driving dynamics and class-leading fuel economy ratings on par with a small car," said John Mendel, executive vice president of Auto Sales for American Honda. "All of us at Honda truly appreciate Green Car Journal for recognizing the HR-V as Green SUV of the Year and as the latest in a growing lineup of products with class-leading efficiency and low emissions.”
With an all-new continuously variable transmission, the 2016 Honda HR-V is able to deliver efficiency and fun alike. This transmission boosts fuel economy ratings on the Honda HR-V to an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway* when set up with front-wheel drive, and 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway* when equipped with all-wheel drive.
"With its active styling, smart features, and fuel economy leadership, the 2016 Honda HR-V gives car buyers an entirely new option in the small SUV category," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The HR-V brings true environmental performance to this fast-growing category, and drivers are taking notice, as are we here at Green Car Journal, making HR-V the perfect choice to take home 2016’s ‘Green SUV of the Year’ honor.”
The award and the 2016 Honda HR-V itself exemplify the automaker’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its products, as Honda continues to prioritize greater fuel economy ratings and low emissions without compromising performance.
Such efficiency and low emissions are entirely within reach at New England Honda Dealers, where the 2016 Honda HR-V is now on sale in a variety of trims and colors.
