I ca't wait to see and touch one...If this is a Fit on steroids, I may go for it....

Carscoops post pictures of the Chinese version of the HRV: "Honda Debuts New XR-V Made In and For China". They called it the XR-V (I don't understand why changing one letter may achieve better sales...). I like the tail better than the HR-V. I am not sure about the front, may be too busy.

The Encore is 24, the Crosstrek is 20, the CR-V is 19.

My information is that the curb weight of the 2015 Fit with CVT is 2544 lb. With the 130 hp engine, it gives 19.6 lb/hp.
2015 Honda Fit - Specifications - Official Site

The HR-V (Vezel) weights 2780 lb, with the 130 hp engine it would be
21.4 lb/hp. It is likely that the HR-V will have the 1.8 l of the Civic as an option. This would give it 19.5 lb/hp.

In this case, HR-V, Fit, CR-V and Civic would all have about 19.5 lb/hp. It seems to be a consistent Honda design for NA.

Question: I heard that when you run the A/C on a Prius, mileage goes to shit. True or not?

Yes, you and I are basically at different ends of the elevation spectrum in the U.S.! I often drive relatives up Mt. Evans which is over 14,000 feet so I will try it in the Fit! Admittedly, though, I have seen 20 year old minivans parked up there ;)

Nice part of the country. Elevation that high didn't seem to bother my now departed Solstice. Great photography

I can't tell much of a difference in mileage on my wife' 07 Prius with the AC on or off.

Here's the thing. Using A/C in any car puts extra load on the engine and uses extra fuel compared to not using A/C. Studies have been done to show that if you are driving at highway speeds with your A/C off, the extra drag created by driving with your windows open uses more fuel than closing them and driving with A/C on. So in that sense, some people conclude that A/C has little effect on fuel economy.

But the reality is that the parasitic drag from driving the A/C compressor uses engine power, and that means more fuel burned. How hard the compressor works is dictated by how hot it might be outside and how bright the sun is shining. So in a worst case scenario, constant use of A/C on a Prius might theoretically drop your fuel economy from say 50MPG to 40MPG. And you say, well that was a big loss in fuel economy. But that is the exact same amount of additional fuel used as another car that gets 20MPG dropping to 18.2MPG or a car that gets 30MPG dropping to 26MPG. So it is only a relative increase, not an increase unique to a Prius.

The AC compressor is electric––runs off the battery––so it's free!!!!!

Seriously, 2010 Gen III Prius, AC on all the time in summer ... on in the winter for quick defrost only ...

Year-round 42mpg +/– ... maybe a little better in the summer than in the winter, with the winter-formulated gas, extended warm-ups, etc.

1.8 in a non hybrid?

Never thought I'd say this, but maybe with luck our Vezels will be coming from China, vis a vis Honda de Mexico ...

There is never a time when I'm not running either A/C or heat. Overall average in Prius C is 60 mpg. If mpg is suffering, I am still pretty damn happy with it!! :thumbups:
