The 2016 Honda HR-V has been named “2016 Green SUV of the Year™” by Green Car Journal. The “Green SUV of the Year” award recognizes the all-new HR-V for its class-leading environmental performance – a top fuel economy rating of 35 mpg highway (2WD CVT) and additional designation as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV2 ULEV).
According to Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com, the 2016 Honda HR-V gives car buyers an entirely new option in the small SUV category with its active styling, smart features, and fuel economy leadership. He further added, “the HR-V brings true environmental performance to this fast-growing category, and drivers are taking notice, as are we here at Green Car Journal, making HR-V the perfect choice to take home 2016’s ‘Green SUV of the Year™’ honor.”
The 2016 HR-V is the third Honda brand vehicle honored by the magazine in the past five years, joining prior Green Car of the Year™ Award winners, the 2012 Civic Natural Gas and the 2014 Accord.
