Super TestCar reviews - Honda - HR-V - 5-dr wagonHonda modelsStand Out Features13 Feb 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON HR-V is not quite the unchartered territory discovered by the company in September 1997, when the larger, family-oriented CR-V broke into the soon to boom recreational 4WD market. More than anything else, HR-V represents an important design departure for Honda. With a sporty headlight treatment and chunky styling cues from every angle, it looks cheeky and cheerful like no other Honda before it. Scant underbody protection, basic 4WD system and limited ground clearance: HR-V does not pretend to be an explorer the calibre of bigger 4x4s. The appealing exterior is not downgraded upon entering the car, with blue highlights on the seats, doors, instruments and switchgear - and a high level of quality. Did you know?A minimum of 300 sales per month was anticipated but the HR-V has averaged well below that. It reached a low point in early 2000, just scraping above 100 sales in January and FebruaryAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
