JACKSON, Mich. - Feb. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- It gives Mid-Michigan Honda Dealers great pride to announce that the 2016 Honda HR-V, the newest arrival to the Honda lineup, is already taking home awards. Green Car Journal just named the new compact crossover their 2016 Green SUV of the Year, which should come as little surprise to anyone who drives the sporty, fuel-sipping crossover—it earns an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on the highway, after all.*

While the fuel economy surely played a role in the Green Car Journal editors' decision to grant the HR-V their Green SUV of the Year award, it's far from the only reason it landed on their radar and took the top spot. In fact, Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com, explained the broad appeal of the HR-V.

“With its active styling, smart features, and fuel economy leadership, the 2016 Honda HR-V gives car buyers an entirely new option in the small SUV category," Cogan said. "The HR-V brings true environmental performance to this fast-growing category, and drivers are taking notice, as are we here at Green Car Journal, making HR-V the perfect choice to take home 2016’s 'Green SUV of the Year' honor."

The 2016 Honda HR-V is available in three different, well-equipped trim levels—LX, EX, and EX-L—with the driver's choice of either front- or all-wheel drive on any of the three trims.

Mid-Michigan drivers will be happy to know that choosing all-wheel drive barely impacts the fuel economy thanks to Honda's state-of-the-art Real Time All-Wheel Drive system that monitors loss of traction and engages all four wheels when it needs to get a better grip on the pavement instead of running the all-wheel drive constantly.

In the past five years, a total of three different Honda vehicles have been recognized as Green Car of the Year award winners; the HR-V joins the 2012 Civic Natural Gas and the 2014 Honda Accord.

To schedule a test drive of the 2016 Honda HR-V in Central Michigan, drivers can contact a Mid-Michigan Honda Dealer near them. With multiple locations all over the mitten state, they make sure that area drivers can find the latest new Honda vehicles at dealerships they know and trust.
