| Beschrijving |
| The neatly packaged HR-V is unashamedly a 'lifestyle' 4x4, more about style than substance. Aimed at young families and singles, it's practical, well built and quite fun to drive, but not a serious 4x4. |

| HR-V is a sub-Freelander-sized compact 4x4 estate that looks poised and fairly purposeful. The willing 1.6 engines spend most of their time driving the front wheels; full four-wheel drive feeds in automatically when extra traction is required. This helps fuel economy - 35mpg is achievable - but you wouldn't want to take HR-V too far off-road, as has neither the jacked-up suspension nor the low gear ratios needed for tackling the rough stuff. What recommends HR-V most it that it lacks the roly-poly handling and firm ride of many 4x4s. It's enjoyably car-like and almost sporty to drive, as well being quiet and refined. Inside, HR-V is starting to show its age. It's laid out well enough, with room for four plus adequate luggage space, but it's a bit dull and plasticky - though the materials are good quality throughout. It's reliable, holds its value quite well, and still possesses some credibility among younger owners. |
