Honda HR-V está dentre os 5 finalistas do "Green SUV of the Year™". O carro foi considerado um dos "SUVs Verdes" do ano de 2016, pelo Green Car Journal.
A entrega da premiação será em janeiro de 2016, no Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Mount Vernon Place Northwest, Washington DC, Distrito de Colúmbia, Estados Unidos.
""After years of focus on building more efficient and environmentally positive sedans and hatchbacks, a growing emphasis is now being placed on SUVs and crossover vehicles, one of the hottest segments in the auto market," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The Green SUV of the Year™ award recognizes this achievement.""
"Honda’s new HR-V crossover blends the functionality of an SUV with the sporty styling of a coupe. Built on the Fit platform but with a longer wheelbase and larger exterior dimensions, it’s powered by a 141 horsepower, 1.8-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine offering up to 35 highway mpg. Like the Fit, it features Honda’s fold-flat second row ‘Magic Seat’ for interior versatility."
