The Interior Of The 2022 Honda HR-V Looks Amazingly Comfortable

Last month, Hondaunveiled the new 2022 HR-Vfor the European market. We're still waiting for Honda to show America's next-generation HR-V, which will bedesigned specifically for the US market. The US version will be larger, but we're hoping it will still look as sleek as its European sibling. It's not only the exterior that has been redesigned, however.

Honda claims the cabin offers "levels of comfort and practicality unrivaled in the sub-compact SUV segment," with more rear legroom, improved visibility, and extra shoulder space. Now, Honda has revealed new details about theredesigned interiorthat make it one of the most comfortable cabins in its class.

One of the cabin's most innovative comfort features is a unique Air Diffusion System that "introduces a new concept of air conditioning" with L-shaped vents at the top corners of the dashboard delivering "the restorative effects of a natural breeze to all occupants." It's a subtle effect, but it improves passenger comfort significantly.

"This idea was born from the concept of designing light and wind to improve passenger comfort," said Honda Large Project Leader, Yoshitomo Ihashi. "We set out to eradicate as many areas of discomfort as possible by using nature as our inspiration. This new ventilation configuration resolves a disparity in traditional vent configurations, where passengers often feel uncomfortable with air flowing directly onto them. The result is a sense of airiness, with a more comfortable internal environment for all occupants."

When the Air Diffusion System is selected, it directs soft breeze-like air along the side windows. The air also travels to the roof, creating a "gentle vortex of air that does not impact directly on passengers". By forming an air curtain around front and rear-seat passengers, it can block the heat coming through the side windows in the summer and cold air during winter. In all weather conditions, the Air Diffusion System will maintain a consistent cabin temperature.
