HONDA’S HR-V is just one of two SUVs in the brand’s line-up at this point (though that should change in the near future), meaning it has to do plenty of heavy lifting in terms of sales. When faced with refined and impressive competition such as the Mazda CX-30, Kia Seltos andToyota C-HR, that’s no small task.
From our first impressions of the new HR-V, Honda is able to stand tall against those popular rivals with a car that provides practical solutions to consumers along with a genuine step up in fit and finish compared to the outgoing model.
Making up the new HR-V range are just two variants. The non-hybrid Vi X at $36,700, and the e:HEV L
