The Honda HR-V should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2026 e:HEV 1.5L RS: 131 N·m; 2026 1.5T V: 240 N·m; 2026 1.5T E: 240 N·m; 2026 1.5L S: 145 N·m; 2025 e:HEV 1.5L RS: 131 N·m; 5 more variants. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
