The Honda HR-V of the RV generation (often globally referred to as the 3rd generation, or 2nd modern generation) marks a radical departure from its predecessor. Adopting a sleek coupe SUV silhouette, it moves upmarket with a minimalist and refined interior presentation. In Europe, it is exclusively sold with the e:HEV (i-MMD) hybrid powertrain, which prioritizes electric traction in the city and uses the internal combustion engine primarily as a generator, except at high speeds where it connects directly to the wheels. Although the trunk volume has decreased compared to the previous generation (319 liters), it retains the exceptional modularity of the Magic Seats in the rear. It is a particularly well-executed vehicle, targeting urban and suburban customers looking for flawless reliability
The Honda HR-V e:HEV (RV Generation) is a highly recommendable purchase. It appeals to those who prioritize long-term reliability, daily running costs, and intelligent modularity, rather than pure performance or raw trunk volume. Its hybrid system is one of the smoothest and most efficient on the market in urban environments. Mechanical failures are almost non-existent, making this SUV a choice for absolute peace of mind in the recent used car market.
