The New Honda SUV Arrives With Cutting-Edge Technology to Rock the Electric Market

The electric car market in Brazil is hotter than a barbecue on a sunny Sunday. In the midst of this rivalry involving industry giants, Honda seems to have pulled a “trump card” with the launch of its new HR-V Electric.

Available in Europe and Asia, the vehicle arrives to be the icing on the cake of the famous line of SUVs from the Japanese brand. Honda didn’t reinvent the wheel, but gave the design a good “facelift”.

The HR-V Electric maintains the platform of the conventional model, but with structural reinforcements since electric cars tend to be heavier. The design? It’s head-turning, with the charging port replacing the front grille and Black Piano details that add a special charm.

When it comes to the engine, the HR-V Electric does not disappoint. It comes with an electric motor that delivers 201 horsepower and 31.6 kg of torque. The batteries are 68.8 kWh, allowing for a range of up to 413 km. That’s more than enough for you to get through the whole week without worrying about getting “stuck”.

Inside the car, it’s a whole different world. The multimedia screen is 15 inches and is positioned vertically, controlling everything from the air conditioning to the driver assistance system.

The finish is superior to that of the conventional HR-V, which was already good. It features synthetic leather, soft touch materials, and plenty of space to comfortably accommodate five people.

Price and Competition

But not everything is perfect. The price of the HR-V Electric will make your wallet cry. In Europe, it costs around R$ 297,000 to R$ 313,000, not including taxes.

The BYD Yuan Plus and the Peugeot e2008 are in the race, with more accessible prices. But if you want a Honda, you already know the brand has tradition and reliability in Brazil.

To be honest? Honda has come in strong to compete in the electric market. Of course, price is a factor, but with this range of technologies and comfort, the new HR-V Electric has everything to be a success. Will it be the “goal of the season” for Honda against GWM and BYD?
