‘Whisper Diesel’ gets a simple choice of engines: SUV showdown: Ford Kuga vs Jeep Cherokee

you can either opt for the all-new 1.5litre petrol or the same 1.6litre diesel you’ll find under the bonnet of the new Civic and CRV. There’s only one drive-train, though – it’s front-wheel drive or nothing, although “other markets” will get an all-wheel drive HR-V. The advantage of that minor disappointment, however, is good fuel efficiency. Unsurprisingly, the diesel is the better of the two by far, returning 70.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 104g/km in basic S guise with its 16in alloys.

First impressions are good, with the HR­V looking tighter and more muscular than any other Hondas on sale at the moment, except perhaps the Civic Type R. It’s a new look we’re keen on, and we’re told it’ll also make an appearance in the forthcoming Jazz.

theoretically prevents you from speeding, although it must be said

That puts it slightly ahead of the 1.6litre 500X diesel, which emits 109g of CO2 per kilometre and returns 68.9mpg, but parity is soon restored when you upgrade to the SE model. Its 17in wheels have the effect of gearing the HR-V up and thus reducing the efficiency.

Okay, an increase in emissions to 108g/km and a 1.7mpg drop in fuel economy won’t be a great issue to private buyers (who, Honda says, will make up 70% of HR-V customers), but it’s enough to knock the HR-V up a company car tax bracket.

Whichever wheels you fit, however, the diesel has punchy power delivery that belies the 118bhp it produces, aided by 300Nm of torque. Officially, 062mph takes 10 seconds, but it feels slightly faster thanks to all that low-down grunt.

The petrol, in comparison, is 0.2 seconds slower to 62mph despite having 10bhp more, and it’s nowhere near as torquey, making it feel gutless. On the plus side, though, it is capable of a quite reasonable 125g/km and 52.3mpg in its most efficient guise.

Prices for Honda’s Juke­rivalling HR­V will sit between just under £18k and £25k when the crossover arrives in the UK this summer.

The entry level petrol ­ 1.5 i­VTEC S – has a list price of £17,995 OTR, with the 1.6 i­DTEC diesel up for £19,745. That should put the most affordable leasing prices around the £200 mark for diesel business users.
