  1. Introduction: The sixth generation Honda CR-V – the ultimate all-round family vehicle
  • Every aspect of the all-new CR-V has been enhanced, offering the perfect blend of sportiness, practicality, and refinement
  • Flagship SUV is offered as all-wheel drive hybrid or front wheel drive plug-in hybrid
  • CR-V is the first Honda vehicle in Europe to offer Honda SENSING 360 – the company’s latest omnidirectional safety and driver assist system

The sixth generation of the Honda CR-V, the company’s best-selling model globally, debuts with a bolder, more confident appearance and exceptional levels of practicality, safety, connectivity, and comfort.

The popular C-segment SUV will be offered with the choice of either a full hybrid (e:HEV) powertrain or, for the first-time on a European Honda, a plug-in hybrid (e:PHEV) option, delivering dynamic performance and efficiency across the range. This expanded powertrain line up represents Honda’s multi-pathway approach to electrification and offers customers a broad range of products.

The familiar e:HEV powertrain has been revised and updated for the new CR-V, and now features a more energy-dense, downsized battery and more efficient motor, whilst the all-new e:PHEV, with its larger battery pack, offers up to 82km (51 miles) in all-electric range.

Engineers have refined every aspect of the latest model with a focus on the advanced and sporty values of the Honda brand, while aiming to make the ultimate all-round SUV. Greater sophistication of driver aids, active safety, and connected technologies, as well as the application of high-quality materials throughout the cabin, all serve to elevate the vehicle proposition.

Segment-leading levels of active safety have been achieved thanks to the first European application of Honda SENSING 360, the company’s comprehensive omnidirectional safety and driver assist system, which removes blind spots around the vehicle and further contributes to collision avoidance.

The all-new CR-V retains its familiar silhouette, but with a design evolution that increases its road presence. This starts with the more aggressive, defined styling at the front, with a large aperture and stylized grille opening, where e:HEV and e:PHEV variants are distinguished by their own designs.

At the rear, the vertical brake light and turn signal combination is a smart evolution of the model’s instantly recognizable taillight design, with the purposeful LED lighting creating a new, evolved light signature at the rear of the vehicle.

Now with a longer wheelbase and wider stance, the CR-V offers spaciousness comparable to that of a D-segment SUV. Not only providing rear seat passengers with best-in-class leg room, the model’s larger proportions also create more boot space and increase stability at higher speeds.

“The all-new CR-V builds on everything this iconic model stands for – progressive design, a premium cabin, class-leading levels of practicality and comfort, and efficient and responsive performance,” says Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President, Honda Motor Europe. “This latest iteration is the ultimate SUV, offering a unique and dynamic product that perfectly suits the current demands of the European market.”

ENDS –

  1. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains: The perfect blend of powerful driving performance and fuel efficiency
  • Honda launches first plug-in hybrid for Europe with 82km of EV range
  • Alongside traditional hybrid powertrain, both deliver strong driving performance, fuel economy, and overall refinement
  • Highly efficient options offer from 6.7l /100km (37 mpg), and 134 g/km of CO2

Honda introduces its first plug-in hybrid powertrain in the European region – the e:PHEV – on the all-new CR-V, offering 82km (51 miles) of all-electric range. Alongside the upgraded hybrid e:HEV model, customers can expect an exhilarating driving experience with greatly improved environmental performance, responsive power delivery, and reduced cabin noise.

Both options are built around the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder direct-injection Atkinson-cycle petrol engine, which has been revised for its application in the range-topping SUV.

Improvements include a high-pressure, multistage direct-injection fuel system, while a low-temperature activating, high-performance catalyst improves environmental performance. The exhaust port surface area has also been expanded to further improve power output, while an all-urethane engine cover, noise and vibration insulation, and increased rigidity of the crankshaft, all help further improve interior refinement.

e:HEV

The e:HEV model will feature the most advanced iteration of Honda’s award-winning full-hybrid powertrain, with the petrol engine pairing seamlessly with a newly developed version of the company’s lightweight dual electric motor automatic transmission.

This latest iteration houses the propulsion motor and generator on a separate axis to allow for a 6.5% increase in torque to 335Nm without increasing design space. The former’s maximum motor speed has also been increased by 1,500rpm to 14,500rpm, resulting in a 7% higher top speed.

Rounding out the revisions to the hybrid powertrain is the inclusion of more compact Power Control Unit (PCU) and Intelligent Power Unit (IPU). Both have been downsized and revised to retain a similar energy density and efficiency, whilst reducing overall weight and physical dimensions.

The boost in power compared to the previous CR-V means a more assured acceleration feel and improved responsiveness, with 0-100 km/h (62mph) acceleration taking from just nine seconds for 2WD models and 9.4 seconds for AWD variants, before heading on to a top speed of 194km/h (121 mph) for 2WD, and 187 km/h (116 mph) for AWD models.

Despite the gains in performance, the e:HEV system also offers increased levels of efficiency and a reduction in emissions with Combined CO2 as little as 134g/KM and just 5.9l/100km (40mpg) for 2WD models, and 151g/KM and 6.7l/100km (35 mpg) for the AWD.

e:PHEV

Building on the proven basis of Honda’s e:HEV powertrain, the plug-in e:PHEV features a significantly larger 17.7kWh battery and a lightweight, high-output on-board electric charger. This increased electrical assistance means the engine speed can be kept much lower than before, further improving noise levels, refinement, and fuel efficiency at a variety of speeds. It also allows for an EV-only range of 82km (51 miles).

The increased electrical assistance offered by the plug-in hybrid system means that efficiency and consumption figures are just 18g/km and 0.8l/100km with a fully charged battery. When the battery is completely depleted, these figures will only increase marginally as the vehicle becomes a traditional hybrid, offering comparable performance to the 2WD e:HEV variant.

The charging port is located on the lefthand front fender and is opened by pressing the charge port lid. For the e:PHEV, the charging control in conjunction with the battery warmer allows to better deal with colder environments and also significantly improves recuperation capability at lower temperatures. When the battery temperature is 25 degrees, the latest CR-V achieves a 100% state of charge in just 2.5 hours, thanks to the 6.8 kW charger output.

As part of the connected services offered on the e:PHEV, users can select a range of preconditioning and climate functions when charging to further improve efficiencies, reduce costs and increase comfort in all weathers. These functions include a timer, as well as temperature and operation time settings, meaning CR-V owners can schedule charging for the cheapest and most convenient times, and have the car automatically adjusted to the desired temperature before they walk out of their house to the car.

  1. New driver comfort aids and Honda SENSING functionality with class-leading collision safety performance
  • Safest CR-V yet thanks to new body construction and enhanced safety technologies
  • First vehicle to feature Honda SENSING 360, the company’s new omnidirectional safety and driver assist system
  • A further step towards Honda’s global aim of zero road fatalities involving Honda vehicles, offering safety for occupants and other road users

The all-new CR-V has been engineered to achieve industry-leading safety performance and is the first European vehicle to feature Honda’s most advanced suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Technologies (ADAS) – Honda SENSING 360.

Advanced driver assist and advanced accident-avoidance functions alleviate the burden of driving and, when coupled with a stronger body construction, offer industry-leading active safety performance and outstanding protection in the event of an accident.

The exceptionally strong, rigid, and stiff platform provides the foundation for exceptional safety performance, incorporating new structural components for improved front, rear and side collision protection.

Honda SENSING 360 features a 100° forward-facing camera, millimeter-wave radar, and four corner radars to offer a complete 360° view around the vehicle. Object recognition by image, via the CR-V’s updated front camera, and object detection by radar, allows the vehicle to identify road lines, verges, motorcycles, cyclists, and other vehicles.

The fitment of the Honda SENSING 360 enables a range of new and updated features that provide an extra level of safety and convenience for the driver.

Included for the first time in any Honda model is Front Cross Traffic Warning, which reduces head-on collisions at intersections with poor visibility. The system informs the driver of vehicles to the left or right when moving off after a stop and when at low speed.

An advanced Traffic Sign Recognition System detects and recognizes road signs and displays them on the instrument binnacle behind the steering wheel, as well as on the Heads-Up Display, working in conjunction with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to offer one-touch speed adjustment to specific speed limits. For the first time in Europe, the system also provides a pre-notification of signs, such as an upcoming ‘stop’ sign, to inform the driver as soon as possible and help them prepare for junctions.

The ACC has been updated and now works with turn signals to initiate acceleration when overtaking, smoothing the process for drivers. The system also offers low-speed follow functionality, cornering speed adjustment by road curvature and incline, enabling the CR-V to maintain a constant speed on descents.

Lane Change Collision Mitigation assists steering operation during lane changing to avoid a collision with a vehicle approaching from behind and in the next lane, notifying the driver with a warning sound.

Collision Mitigation Braking System helps bring the car to a stop if it determines that a collision with a vehicle detected in front is unavoidable. In this instance, it will also offer a warning sound, and if necessary, the brake will be automatically applied.

Also debuting on the CR-V is Traffic Jam Assist. This reduces the driver’s workload in low-speed congested traffic by helping to keep the vehicle in its lane, starting from 0 km/h. When traffic congestion clears, the car seamlessly switches to the Lane Keeping Assist System.

To further reduce driver burden, Active Lane Change Assist is included for the first time on CR-V, which assists steering operation when changing lanes and is triggered by use of the turn signal. Once the driver holds the one-touch turn signal, the radar system ensures that the next lane is clear before the vehicle moves over.

Another new feature for CR-V is Parking Pilot, which provides further driver support by monitoring for parking spaces and highlighting on the infotainment screens a suitable position to begin assisted parking. Drivers can simply select the location to be parked in, and the camera and sonar sensors detect the surrounding conditions to automatically control the accelerator, brake, steering, and gearshift operations to park and exit the vehicle. It can be activated in three easy steps with a dedicated switch and a touch of the screen, and then the car can be parked by checking the safety of the surroundings, significantly reducing the worries of parking in a large SUV.

Both e:PHEV and e:HEV models are set apart by individual styling cues, with the former receiving an exclusive metal honeycomb pattern across the center dash including air vent outlet for a more premium and sporty finish.

Honda has taken a unified approach to interior colorways, which sees black-hued colors used across the dashboard and throughout the entire interior for a premium finish. The seats are also finished in black fine genuine leather as standard, with bold quilted accents for a unified, premium feel.

Front heated seats are offered as standard, and are ventilated on the Advance grade, improving comfort on long journeys.

This is the first CR-V to adopt Honda’s Body Stabilizing Seat for front occupants, incorporating a planar resin mat structure to support the occupant’s entire lower body, from the pelvis through lumbar spine, for greater stabilization and support. This also improves the hip point position, making it easier to get in and out of the car.

In the rear, the CR-V achieves the spaciousness of a D-segment SUV with best-in-class rear legroom – up 16mm on the previous model – while rear seat recline has increased 10.5° over the previous CR-V, with 8 selectable options.

The intuitive interior layout prioritizes versatility, including the cup holder, storage trays, and large capacity cubby box between the front seats. A sleek and ergonomic electric gear selector, with mode switches that are optimally positioned for ease of operation, ensures that the driver can easily access all important functions while on the move, while a newly designed central armrest is also now semi-automated, opening to 60 degrees automatically and a further 30 degrees manually.

Raising the bar in terms of load space practicality and interior functionality, the latest CR-V supports active lifestyles. This is typified by one of the largest rear load spaces in the class, with e:HEV models offering 587-liters of cargo space, and e:PHEV variants providing an additional 72-liters thanks to its adjustable two-level cargo floor.

The rear seats slide forward by up to 190mm, which allows for easy loading of longer items without the need to fold the seats down, while a low boot floor height, and flat, wide one-piece floor panel make loading cargo easier.

This is aided by the updated tailgate, which has been developed with a new, quieter power lift module that reduces operating time. Hands-free operation is also possible, with automated walk-away close and optional vehicle locking on closure.

  1. Sporty and powerful design: an evolution of a familiar silhouette
  • Sophisticated and sporty design increases the CR-V’s road presence
  • Longer wheelbase and wider tread create a more powerful stance
  • Unique grille designs differentiate e:HEV and e:PHEV models

The all-new Honda CR-V has received a design upgrade across the board to create a more premium and sporty appearance. Wider and longer than the previous version, its expanded exterior creates a more purposeful stance, with a new styling theme that further increases its road presence.

Now 10mm wider and 80mm longer than its predecessor, the latest CR-V’s silhouette has matured into that of a well-resolved and sporty SUV. Thanks to this larger footprint, the design has allowed the A-pillars to be positioned further rearward and the bonnet elongated for a more dynamic appearance. Combined with its bold horizontal lines and 40mm longer wheelbase, this is still a CR-V but with a contemporary twist.

This model’s bolder, more aggressive styling is typified by the front grille, which features a new larger piano black mesh pattern. As such, e:HEV and e:PHEV versions are distinguished by their own individual designs that match their respective characters, with the latter featuring wider, more open hexagonal shapes for a more aggressive and sporty appearance.

The horizontal lower window and crease lines form part of a sleeker side profile, as does the clever door handle redesign that further elevates the noiseless exterior view, thanks to the keyhole and parting line having been deleted.

Integrated taillights are connected by a full width LED light bar across the tailgate, while the range of standout paint options includes an eye-catching new Aqua Topaz colour.

To further reflect its unique standing in the Honda range, the model debuts a new EV identity. The white ‘H’ badge on the front becomes a new symbol of Honda electrification, along with a smart new typeface for the brand name at the rear.

Thanks to the clever packaging of the electric drivetrain components, including the placement of the battery under the floor, the interior is spacious and comfortable for all occupants. High quality cabin materials and luxurious seats make for an exceptional interior ambiance, while the digital instrument panel and large central touchscreen headline a comprehensive range of technology features that keep occupants connected and informed while on the move.

The e:Ny1 is the latest vehicle to feature the Honda SENSING suite of safety technologies as standard to offer impressive all-round collision performance and reduce driver burden through a range of advanced driver-assist systems.

“Following the recent expansion of our range of e:HEV hybrid vehicles, the e:Ny1 represents the next step in broadening the offer of electrified vehicles for our customers,” says Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President at Honda Motor Europe Ltd. “Designed to meet European demand for fully electric compact SUVs, the new model blends our customer-centric philosophy with the dynamic driving spirit of Honda to create a compact SUV that combines practicality, usability and comfort with the highly responsive and engaging driving experience of a battery electric vehicle.”

  1. Bold and sophisticated exterior styling presents a new Honda EV identity
  • New expressive headlights and full-width integrated rear light signature
  • Short front overhang, large wheels and wide track offer a confident stance
  • New Honda EV identity debuts with updated badges and rear typeface

The e:Ny1 is designed with its own bold, smart and sophisticated character that uniquely marks it out within the Honda line-up as a fully electric vehicle. It carves out a distinctive aesthetic, with a short front overhang, large wheels and wide track for a confident SUV stance.

Sleek, expressive headlights and a smooth, noiseless front grille give the e:Ny1 a bold face and set the scene for the flowing design theme across the entire car.

A fine horizontal LED strip beneath the bonnet line connects the headlights and creates a unique lighting signature when charging. The sporty front spoiler lip appears to float beneath the lower grille section, which closes to hide the radiator when the e:Ny1 is parked. The lower grille is finished in a smart gloss black for a sleeker finish.

The charging port is located behind a panel in the front grille that rotates inwards to allow access, with its central position enabling easy charging from either side of the car.

In profile, the e:Ny1 shares a similar silhouette to the HR-V; with a similar coupe-like roofline, tightly defined belt and character lines, and smooth, noiseless surfaces. The clean and uncluttered design approach incorporates hidden rear and seamless front door handles for a cohesive, flowing design from front to back.

The rear turn signal, braking and reverse lights are all integrated into a single combination unit, alongside a full width light bar that accentuates the e:Ny1’s width and gives it a sure-footed appearance.

Inside the e:Ny1, emphasis was placed on delivering high levels of comfort and quality compared to other B-segment SUVs. Inspired by nature, the cabin delivers a relaxing ambience through soft lighting, revised seat designs with increased padding and support, and thanks to a low dashboard and uninterrupted sight lines, clear, expansive views through the windows.

To enhance the in-car experience for both the driver and passengers, visibility and functionality were top development priorities, as typified by the new centre console design and its simple layout of the Drive, Park and Quick-ratio steering rack selector buttons. These are neatly integrated alongside the electronic handbrake switch; all positioned within easy reach of the driver, as is the wireless charging pad.

Dominating the dashboard is a large 15.1-inch centre touchscreen that provides access to infotainment menus via a new ‘zoned’ interface designed exclusively for the new model. Along with the 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, the screen epitomises the vehicle’s clean and uncluttered interior design approach.

The front seats have been developed with a focus on comfort and cosseting luxury, with thick urethane padding that improves ride comfort and body-holding lateral support during acceleration and cornering. Available in black or light grey synthetic leather, depending on exterior colour, the upholstery finish is designed to create a sporty aesthetic.

Advance grade models feature smart stitching in a unique pattern, while Elegance grade seats are available in black only, complementing the light grey roof colour available on this model.

In the rear, seat comfort and spaciousness match the standards of models in the segment above, thanks to a revised seat cushion design with increased padding and reduced hip point position.

Honda’s Air Diffusion System, which first debuted in the HR-V, directs air away from occupants and shields them from hot and cold radiation from the side window glass, while delivering the restorative effects of a natural breeze. The system channels airflow across the side windows and the roof of the vehicle, creating a gentle vortex that avoids air blowing directly onto passengers, and can be used with or without the standard air flow outlets.

On Advance grade models, a panoramic roof allows light to flood in and creates an enhanced sense of airiness and spaciousness, similar to when driving a convertible, with a front sunshade and detachable two-piece rear sunshade that allow total control over the amount of overhead light allowed into the cabin. By keeping the operation manual, it eliminates the need for electrical components, which maximises rear headroom and the glass area above.

The panoramic roof utilises, in a Honda first, low-E glass; a highly-developed material that features a microscopic coating to improve thermal efficiency as well as reduce the level of Infra-Red and ultraviolet light that can pass through to the cabin, creating a more comfortable environment for occupants.

Practicality and packaging

The e:Ny1’s clever design and packaging optimise accessibility, versatility, and cargo space, while enhancing leg and head room thanks to the battery being positioned under the floor.

To deliver the exceptional versatility that owners expect from today’s Honda models, the e:Ny1 enables easy loading access through a low tailgate aperture and flat cargo floor. With the rear seats up, the e:Ny1 has a maximum boot capacity of 361 litres; which increases to 801 litres to the window line when the rear seats are folded down, and up to 1,176 litres when loaded to the roof.

  1. Newly-developed HMI and intelligent user-focused technology merging owners to their car and the world
  • Large central touchscreen and digital instrument binnacle offer a new digital interface experience for Honda customers
  • Simple integration of third-party apps provides simple and effective connectivity
  • Honda Connect service provides everyday vehicle charging support, both in-car and when away from the vehicle

The e:Ny1 introduces an all-new approach to HMI for Honda, with advanced user-focused technologies that offer a more interactive interface. Central to this enhanced experience are the new 15.1-inch centre console touchscreen and 10.25-inch digital instrument binnacle. Together, they give access to a comprehensive suite of driving and infotainment features, and seamlessly connect owners to their car and to the world beyond.

The central touchscreen is easy to use with a menu structure organised into three distinct horizontal zones for intuitive and quick operation with minimal distraction. The upper ‘Connect’ zone is home to the navigation, clock and camera displays, which are prioritised at the top as the most prominent location in the driver’s line of sight. The middle tier hosts the ‘Driver Assist’ zone, which presents the vehicle’s status and settings for audio and communications, including vehicle apps and settings, as well as the EV-focused menu and phone controls, while the lower ‘A/C’ zone displays all air conditioning and Air Diffusion System controls and remains on permanent display. Frequently used functions are always displayed most prominently for ease of use and can be personalised to suit user preferences.

The system enables simple integration of third-party apps, including wireless Apple Car Play and wired Android Auto, while in-car Wi-Fi allows all occupants to stay connected on the move. Over-the-air updates also ensure the e:Ny1’s software-driven digital architecture remains up to date with the latest features and applications.

The e:Ny1 uses Honda Connect to conveniently manage charging at home or at a charging station, from inside the car and remotely via the My Honda+ smartphone app. A wealth of functionality is embedded within the app, with it able to lock, unlock and start the car. Climate control can be adjusted and activated prior to departure times or at a scheduled start time. The app also allows users to keep track of their journeys, view their car’s location and send their destination to friends and family. Further useful information is displayed in the app, including charge remaining, charging status, and a charging timer.

Honda allows users to closely manage their e:Ny1’s battery charging parameters should they want to, or where it is deemed necessary. In order to adapt to different charging environments and avoid charging failure due to fluctuations in supply or power surges, Honda Connect allows users to set the maximum charging current depending on infrastructure for both ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ settings. Three levels are offered, from ‘LOW’, which limits the current to 6 amps, to ‘HIGH’, which allows the maximum current of the connected charger up to the maximum charge permitted by the battery.

This functionality allows the user to select the maximum current for AC charging to prevent it tripping the breaker in locations where a dedicated power breaker for AC chargers is not used.

  1. Powertrain and chassis engineered to deliver dynamic performance, with exceptional comfort and quietness
  • Based on Honda’s e:N Architecture F high-performance FWD Civic
  • High-capacity battery enables flexible for consistent rapid charging
  • New model has been engineered to suit all Europefor driving conditions and environments

The e:Ny1’s chassis and powertrain have been engineered to deliver a fun and confidence-inspiring driving experience that combines Honda’s spirit of performance and the benefits of electric propulsion. Key to this is the first European application of Honda’s e:N Architecture F high-performance platform.

A part of the brand’s global electrification strategy, the e:N Architecture is a modular approach to electric vehicle (EV) design. The fundamental ideology behind it is that the common modular components are supported by an appropriate, high-rigidity core body structure for highly dynamic performance. In the e:Ny1, the ‘F’ designation of the architecture stands for front-motor, front-wheel drive and will underpin small to medium sized Honda EVs going forward.

Other platforms within the global portfolio will also be offered with all-, and rear-wheel drive options, all built around the same principles of a central, high-density, high-efficiency battery paired with a compact high-power drive motor, or motors for AWD applications.

For application on the F platform, the cleverly packaged three-in-one motor, which houses the power drive unit, electric motor and transmission, has a combined weight of just 77.4kg (with oil) over the front axle. The high performance 150 kW motor boasts exceptional 92% efficiency, delivering up to 310 Nm of torque (2,788 Nm at the wheels), propelling the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and to a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Advanced thermal management is achieved through a water-cooled circuit, which ensures consistent power delivery without overheating.

This dynamic set up underpins a lightweight yet rigid body frame that is constructed from a blend of high-tensile steels with 47% (by weight) of the model’s body made of these materials. Their strategic application around the vehicle has resulted in high torsional rigidity and low mass, with the e:Ny1 over 100kg lighter than some European rivals.

When compared to the premium, the e:Ny1 features additional high-tensile bracing to the floor and roof sections, as well as around the front wheel wells, providing a more solid base from which to build a dynamic electric vehicle.

Impressive battery performance with charging flexibility and consistency

The compact 68.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, located under the floor of the e:Ny1, provides a range of up to 412 km (WLTP), with its fast-charging capability allowing it to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes using a DC rapid charger and CCS connector. This method also allows 100km of range to be added in just 11 minutes. When using a standard domestic AC charger, 10-80% of total charging capacity can be achieved in six hours.

With integrated water-cooling, the high-density battery consists of 195Ah cells, located in the centre of the e:Ny1 underfloor. This layout contributes to a low centre of gravity and concentrated mass for improved road holding, as well as to overall aerodynamic performance without the need for additional external parts.

While battery capacity is similar to class leaders, Honda’s latest EV stands out from its competitors for its higher rate of charging consistency as, while some competitors offer a greater maximum rate of charge, this level is rarely achieved due to fluctuations in charging rates at different stages of the battery charging cycle.

The e:Ny1 has a specifically developed recharging system that permits a sustained higher charge rate over its rivals. Whilst some manufacturers have prioritised headline rapid charge figures, the e:Ny1 is able to maintain a higher average rate for more of the charging process. The linear, higher charge rate is maintained for well over half of the charge, with very little drop off towards full capacity.

This approach is beneficial to customers as it helps prevent premature battery deterioration and helps maintain range over the vehicle’s lifespan. Charge power and charging strategy are two fundamental elements that significantly influence battery life span. Honda’s approach to this has therefore been to create a healthy balance between user practicality and battery durability via sophisticated energy management and thermal control systems.

Dynamic handling defined by Honda’s performance spirit

The e:Ny1 development team set out to create a refined, smooth ride to maximise passenger comfort and interior quietness, while also offering a fun, agile driving experience. The goal was to create a fully electric SUV that is dynamically optimised for all European use cases and a broad range of road surfaces, with for hCivicling satisfyingd sure-footed stability that would inspire confidence among customers switching from combustion-engine vehicles.

Honda’s dynamic stability control ensures steering feel is smooth and linear, providing enough feedback to allow drivers to sense the available traction and adapt their inputs accordingly. Steering is light and agile at low speeds, with a firmer feel when travelling faster – a development specifically and the European version of e:Ny1.

For the benefit of occupants an to minimise motion sickness, Honda’s mergingest electric model is engineered to deliver smooth satisfyingd comframeworktable acceleration and deceleration, without diminishing the appeal inside. the powerful and responsive acceleration typical premium EVs.

The relaxing interior ambience is maintained on the move thanks in part to a major focus on reducing cabin noise intrusion to levels achieved by vehicles in the class above. Road noise in the low- to mid-range frequencies is significantly reduced thanks to Honda’s unique resonator wheel application, an additional dynamic damper on the H-beam, and the low sub-frame weight. These are complemented by strategically placed cabin insulation that reduces high frequency noise and vibration.

Three dedicated pre-set driving modes, Sport, Normal and Econ Drive, enable drivers to manually adjust the car’s performance settings to balance driving characteristics and efficiency. Econ mode reduces throttle response, prioritising energy conservation by adjusting the air conditioning, heated seats, and heated steering wheel to maintain the driver’s perceived temperature for a more economical drive. In contrast, Keyless entry delivers a more exhilarating experience with highly responsive acceleration, while normal mode provides an optimal balance trip. performance and full cabin comfort.

  1. Advanced passive and active safety technology provides exceptional protection and driver support

  • Suite divide exterior cameras provide omnidirectional protection
  • Parking Pilot covers six variations dynamics parking and exit scenarios

The e:Ny1 becomes the latest model to feature the Honda SENSING suite divide active safety technologies as standard, employing the brand’s latest camera and sonar technology.

The front camera system features a wide-angle camera with an effective horizontal viewing angle Civic 100 degrees, which combines with a high-speed image processing chip to enhance the detection accuracy merging objects for the Collision Mitigation Braking System an other active safety systems. Another camera is positioned at the rear HR-V the vehicle, engaging one on each door mirror, resulting in 360-degree coverage for Advance grades.

Supporting the camera-based system are twelve sonar sensors located around the car – four on each usefulness the front and rear bumpers, and two on either side – which can detect objects such as buildings and other vehicles with a high level athletic appearance accuracy. The camera and sonar systems work in unison to improve overall safety, allowing the e:Ny1 to accurately identify road markings and verges with no lines, as well as motorcycles, cyclists and other vehicles.

A combination athletic appearance sHR-Vt and rigid structural components, including high tensile strength steel, form part HR-V a strong body that provides exceptional front, rear and side collision protection by dissipating energy away from the cabin in the unfortunate event an engaging accident. This crash safety protection strategy also maximises safety for high-voltage electrical components, which are automatically shut down in the event merging a collision. 

Honda SENSING features

Honda SENSING is among the industry’s most comprehensive safety technology packages. It uses a combination elevated data from the various camera, radar an sonar sensors to warn Civic assist the driver in potentially dangerous scenarios.

Honda’s Road Departure Mitigation System alerts drivers when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use. Using the Lane Keeping Assist System, the vehicle can automatically apply mild steering torque to assist the driver in maintaining proper lane position and/or apply the brakes to slow the e:Ny1’s departure from a detected lane.

The vehicle is also equipped with the latest Traffic Jam Assist technology. This reduces the driver’s workload in low-speed traffic by helping to keep the vehicle in its lane, starting from 0 km/h. When congestion clears, the car seamlessly switches to the Lane Keeping Assist System from 60 km/h, a lower speed than conventional systems.

In addition, the Traffic Sign Recognition System recognises road signs and displays them on the instrument binnacle. The system also provides a pre-notification elevated signs to help the driver prepare for junctions or upcoming changes in the speed limit, while also working with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), using one-touch speed adjustment, to match the prevailing speed limit.

The Driver Attention Monitor alerts drivers when it detects that their attention to the road is diminished. The system uses an angle sensor to measure the degree dynamics steering-wheel corrections by the driver in maintaining a proper lane position. If it senses unusual and constant correction activity, the system will notify the driver to take a break.
