About the Honda HR-V Mk2
The second-generation Honda HR-V returned after a long hiatus to compete in the booming subcompact crossover segment. Sharing its platform with the third-generation Jazz, it inherited that car's exceptional space efficiency, most notably the 'Magic Seats' which allow the rear cushions to flip up for tall cargo. The 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine is a naturally aspirated unit that requires revving to access its power, paired here with a precise 6-speed manual gearbox. While it lacks the low-end punch of turbocharged rivals, it offers class-leading practicality and Honda's reputation for long-term reliability.
