The mid sized pick of the SUV bunch, the Honda HR-V
Variety and choice are what makes modern day car shopping so much more appealing to buyers. There is a car to suit almost every need for any individual and their family. With SUVs of all sizes dominating the sales charts at the moment, you can be assured that out of Honda’s extensive range, they produce one that is just the right size for a young, urban and professional family!
The HR-V and its stylish bodylines is perfectly positioned in the middle-ground of the fun sized WR-V and the full size CR-V. Its premium finish and tech are a notch up from the affordable price of smaller models but not as bloated as full size SUVs that are on sale in the market.
At only 4347mm in length, the HR-V remains an easy to drive, easy to park and an easy to use family hauler that still has an abundance of interior space to commute in absolute comfort.
Regardless of its size, navigating in tight spaces is made ever so effortless with the addition of a rear view camera and parking sensors which are displayed through a 7” central infotainment system that is equipped to transfer your tunes through the deluxe sound system and controllable via the multi-function steering wheel.
Cruise control and an economy mode are the perfect companion for open road travelling, which provides an undemanding and relaxing drive while still achieving a combined 6.8l/100km from the 1.8 liter naturally aspirated VTEC motor found in the Elegance model.
The 105kW and 172Nm figures are comfortably delivered through Honda’s CVT which aids in the most seamless driving experience. The more affordable 1.5 liter Comfort derivative is available with 88kW and 145Nm and can achieve a prudent 6.3l/100km from combined driving scenarios.
All HR-V models include a standard 5 year/200 000km warranty and an additional 4 year/60 000km service plan to keep the durable, moving components working as they should.
