2016 Honda HR-V: When The Fit Becomes A Subcompact SUV

2016 Honda HR-V

The line on the sides that connects the C-Pillar to front bumper seems unnecessary.

Multifunction steering wheel and colour touchscreen.

The double “H” shaped front grille was designed to give the HR-V the look of an SUV.

The rear door handles are integrated into the windows to give it the look of a coupe.

The HR-V features the Honda Fit’s ingenious “Magic Seat” adjustable rear bench.

The adjustable rear bench cushions in the up position help transport objects vertically.

HR-Vs destined for the North America market have the 1.8-litre four-cylinder borrowed from the Civic.

Multi-view rear vision camera.

Smart phone storage space, USB and HDMI ports integrated into the central console.

Colour multifunction touchscreen.

Lane Watch system comes factory standard on the high-end versions.

Sliding central armrest and cupholders.

Roof spoiler.

You like it in silver? Too bad – this colour isn’t available in Canada.

A look that combines characteristics of several vehicle types and lacks uniformity.

Fuel consumption is better with the CVT than with the manual.

Front-wheel drive versions can be equipped with a manual transmission or CVT, but all-wheel drives come only with the CVT.

A classic case of road rage...
