Used Honda HR-V cars

The style of the car

The Honda HR-V is a compact four-door crossover SUV. It looks great with a raised hatchback design, hidden rear door handles and sporty, elegant lines. It also offers lots of space.

How it drives

With a comfortable interior and excellent petrol and diesel engines, the Honda HR-V is enjoyable to drive. It’s suitable for the city as well as long distance trips with the easy to use manual or automatic gearboxes. The driving position offers great visibility of the road making parking easy. It’s also a really good car for towing.

The interior

The Honda HR-V looks more compact than some rivals but it’s still very spacious. There’s room for five people and the boot will take four good sized suitcases. The back seats flip up to accommodate larger loads like bikes. All models have a comfortable interior with lots of equipment including emergency braking and touchscreen infotainment. Some more expensive models are more luxurious offering leather upholstery.

Running costs and reliability

The Honda HR-V is competitively priced with low running costs. The engines are frugal and all models also have an ‘Econ’ mode that reduces fuel consumption. Insurance and road tax costs are similar to rivals, as are servicing and maintenance. All Hondas have legendary reliability and Euro NCAP gave the HR-V a maximum five stars for safety.

How it compares with similar cars

The Honda HR-V is a medium-sized SUV. It’s more practical than its rivals and has a much larger boot than the Nissan Juke, while its clever ‘Magic Seats’ system makes the interior more flexible than the Peugeot 2008. The HR-V is a former winner of What Car magazine’s Reader Award.
