April 7-8, 2025: Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) and select media partners took the full hybrid lineup of Honda, composed of the New HR-V RS e:HEV, the New Civic RS e:HEV, and the CR-V RS e:HEV, to an exciting drive up north to test the features and technologies equipped in each model, discover the Honda hybrid vehicles’ fuel economy, and experience incomparable driving performance.
Throughout the two-day event, media participants took turns behind the wheel of each of the three models. Most, if not all, have had the experience driving the CR-V RS e:HEV and the New Civic RS e:HEV on prior occasions, which makes it no surprise that majority of the media participants were a little extra thrilled to test drive the New HR-V RS e:HEV. The media drive also serves as an avenue for the new hybrid model to prove that there’s more to life with its 1.5 e:HEV engine and show how its driving performance compares to the other two models powered by 2.0 e:HEV engines. The Honda e:HEV system guarantees to maintain high efficiency in all driving situations. Honda hybrid vehicles run on purely electric at certain speeds and intelligently switch between three (3) driving modes — EV, hybrid or engine mode — depending on the road and carrying load condition, which makes the Honda hybrid vehicles fuel efficient.
Aside from having e:HEV engines, similar across all three models are Honda’s advanced technologies that promote safety, security, and convenience — Honda SENSING, an advanced driver-assist system, and Honda CONNECT, a mobile application that enables users to easily start, monitor, and control vehicles directly from a mobile phone.
