Honda HR-V 1.6 I-DTEC EX 5d 118 BHP

When a manufacturer resurrects a name from its back catalogue, it's usually because there's a wealth of brand equity to be tapped into, but the Honda HR-V name is not one many will remember, despite only being away for 10 years. Launched back in 1999, the first HR-V was a high-riding range of small three- and five-door SUVs, some of which were available with four-wheel drive. This new Honda HR-V occupies a similar area of the market but with an altogether different proposition. You may refer to it as a crossover as it combines chunkier SUV styling elements, with a coupe-like roofline and interior flexibility similar to an MPV. Competitor-wise it's trickier to pigeonhole the HR-V: exterior dimensions place it neatly between the polarising Nissan Juke and its big-selling larger stablemate, the Nissan Qashqai. Despite this the Honda offers more passenger and luggage space than both, as well as the quirky Citroen C4 Cactus; it even gets close to matching the physically larger-still Renault Kadjar.There's little doubt that crossovers are proving to be big business for car manufacturers, many vying for attention with distinctive styling. It's a trick the Honda HR-V pulls off well, managing to look fresh and different without being particularly divisive. Reinforcing the coupe-aping roofline are rear door handles hidden in the trailing edge of the window line, not unlike the solution found on the Toyota C-HR or Nissan Juke.Climb aboard and you'll be presented with one of Honda's more cohesive cabin designs, with instruments and controls logically grouped in a manner less haphazard than before. There's a greater amount of soft-touch plastics employed in the dash's construction and the centre console is mounted high, to further reinforce this snug, coupe-like notion. Practicality hasn't been cast aside, though, with Honda's famous 'Magic' rear seats making an appearance – the cushions flip upwards to liberate otherwise unutilised space. With all five seats in place there's 470 litres of regular boot space, just two litres shy of the Kadjar's offering. Check our website for more stock.
