The Honda HR-V of the RU generation (often considered the 2nd global generation, but marking the model's return after the discontinuation of the first HR-V in 2006) is an urban SUV on the edge of the compact segment. Sold as Vezel in Japan and XR-V in China, it stands out with record-breaking interior space in its category, made possible by the central positioning of the fuel tank and the integration of the famous Magic Seats in the rear. Facelifted in late 2018 (modernized front end, improved sound insulation, arrival of the Sport version), it is renowned for its high overall reliability, particularly with naturally aspirated gasoline engines. Its main drawbacks are an outdated infotainment system and imperfect sound insulation on early model years.
