"Honda is developing a next-generation hybrid system for its full-sized SUVs tailored specifically for the North American market, the automaker said on Wednesday. It's also introducing a new mid-size hybrid platform, which will bring a raft of structural and powertrain improvements over its current crop of hybrids. The Japanese automaker announced its new plans at the Honda Automotive Technology Workshop in Tokyo."
"Its next-generation hybrid system for full-sized SUVs in the U.S. will include a newly developed V6 engine paired with new electric motors and an upgraded lithium-ion battery, all aimed at improving fuel efficiency and reducing costs compared to existing tech. The result of that would be 30% better fuel efficiency compared to current full-size non-hybrid SUVs and 10% faster acceleration."
Honda is developing a next-generation hybrid system for full-size SUVs tailored to the North American market and plans availability from 2027. The system pairs a newly developed V6 engine with electric motors and an upgraded lithium-ion battery to boost efficiency and reduce costs. Honda projects about 30% better fuel economy versus current full-size non-hybrid SUVs and roughly 10% faster acceleration. A new mid-size hybrid platform will provide structural and powertrain improvements potentially affecting models like the CR-V and Civic hybrids. Honda’s EV focus will remain stronger in Asia while large U.S. hybrids gain priority.
