The 1.6 litre i-DTEC engine is unique to Honda vehicles on sale in Europe. The common rail turbo-diesel unit incorporates extensive technologies that reduce friction, improve emissions and increase fuel economy. The 1,597cc engine features a small, high-efficiency turbocharger, low-pressure EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system and a high-intake flow, high-swirl cylinder head port. A new high-strength, lightweight slender crankshaft and all-aluminium, open-deck, high-pressure, die-cast engine block reduce the engine's weight.
Powered by the diesel engine - which generates 120 PS at 4,000 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm - the new HR-V can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 10.0 seconds, placing it among the most dynamic vehicles in its class. With manual transmission, fuel economy is an impressive 4.0 l/100 km (combined cycle) with CO2 emissions of 104 g/km.
