More economical engines and improved technologies
The new line of hybrids will be equipped with 1,5 and 2,0-liter gasoline engines, integrated with systems that allow a reduction of up to 10% in fuel consumption.
Currently, the Honda Jazz Hybrid is the brand's most efficient model, with an average consumption of 4,6 liters per 100 km. However, the expectation is to surpass this mark, seeking levels similar to the most economical hybrids from Toyota and Mazda, which register less than 4 liters per 100 km.
Another innovation highlighted by Honda is the Honda S+ Shift, a technology that promises greater precision in gear changes, improving the driving experience. In addition, E-AWD all-wheel drive will be introduced in electrified models, providing more stability, improved acceleration and greater overall safety.
Weight and cost reduction: targets for 2027
Honda also revealed plans to launch a new platform for mid-size vehicles by 2027. This innovation will allow a 10% reduction in the weight of cars, directly impacting energy efficiency and drivability.
One of the most ambitious points is the promise to cut the production costs of its hybrids by 50%. This measure aims not only to increase the company's profitability, but also to make the vehicles more affordable for consumers.
More competitive pricing will be key to facing growing competition in the HEV segment.
Strategic position in the hybrid market
With these changes, Honda seeks to consolidate itself as a reference in the hybrid vehicle market. The focus on efficiency, safety and cost-benefit reinforces its intention to compete directly with segment leaders, such as Toyota and Mazda.
The company is betting that with the introduction of these technologies and improvements, it will have a significant turning point in 2027, marking a new phase for its hybrids in the global market.
