Honda HR-V SUV 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews

The Honda HR-V has sized itself to directly rival the Nissan Juke and Renault Kadjar but can it still cut the mustard, since the old Honda HR-V went out of sale in 2006? Let Mat take you through a full review in full 4k of this SUV, and see for yourself whether it's worth the extra price.

A bit of a load lip is good, it means all your crap does not fall out of the boot when you open the tailgate on a hill. :)

I bought a 2017 Honda HR-V EX AWD today. The 1.8L 16 valve engine is not bad. There is a ECON button to turn off the gas efficiency to improve the performance and acceleration. Also there is a D and S shift position at the transmission shifter. The S position can improve the acceleration and transmission performance such as more climbing power. Most review do not mention about the P and S with the ECON button to improve the performance of the HRV.

I personally like the CVT box. I have a jazz with the CVT and I love the car to pieces. The CVT is absolutely perfect if you drive it properly useing the proper modes for the right conditions. I love how smooth and responsive the CVT is.

Better space than the toyota chr, without feeling claustrophobic!

damn the european spec hr-v looks so much better with the led head lights, the north american one looks so cheap

[richardikin]

Top Gear missed a golden opportunity ...

I have a 1.5 petrol with the cvt box, it averages 52 mpg, at 67 mph it's only doing about 2000 rpm, you don't need to go about 3000 rpm when on main roads, it's a very good car.

In 2020, their HR-V model was the most trouble-free new car sold by Honda.

In Japan, you can choose 1.5 litre hybrid with i-DCD, Honda's unique DCT transmission.

"The sound of a cow's dying moo" LOL MATT YOURE THE BEST

[karlx]

Even if you don't give a stuff about which car is being appraised the reviews are always entertainingly consistent in their format and style and very watchable - could do with Mat presenting for longer on a more in depth car-type TV show ;)

[jamesralph]

I don't know why they care if you can fit three adults in the back seats, honestly who ever carries three grown people in the back

[AkiffHssn]

matt you need to become the TopGear UK host. please god!!

[woshigepro]

My girlfriend sister always opt to sit at the boot when there is too many people in the passenger sit lol. She actually like it and get less motion sickness sitting there.

You should flash your height every time you do seat room, and maybe include how many square feet the cargo room amounts to in the back, and also when the back seats are lowered.

That "A Cow's last dying moo" had me spill my coffee all over my computer! damnit.
