The e: HEV hybrid system provides three automatically interchangeable driving modes according to needs. To maximize efficiency, HR-V disables electric mode by switching to hybrid mode when the engine requires high torque, while the petrol engine runs at constant and higher speeds. The Sport, Normal and Eco modes fulfill different needs, while an additional B mode can be selected from the gearbox, to increase the incidence of regenerative braking and obtain a Full Electric experience. To increase driving versatility, the level of energy regeneration and the deceleration force can be adjusted according to the driver’s preferences using the special selector located behind the steering wheel. Improved aerodynamics: the air vent on the front bumper, the side sill and the elegant shape of the rear lights help to reduce turbulence, also supported by the spoiler on the tailgate.
