Five good things about our Honda HR-V

1. It has a spacious interior2024 Honda HR-V rear seats

For such a small SUV, you actually get loads of space inside. There’s more than enough legroom in the back for tall adults, and there’s plenty of room up front as well. It’s much more spacious than the Peugeot E-2008, meaning you can carry four people in comfort.

2. Easy-access camera system

Being a top-spec Style Plus model, our HR-V has a handy 360-degree camera system. Not only does this make tight parking spaces much easier to negotiate, we also like the easy-access button on the indicator stalk which will bring the cameras up on screen. It’s helped us out a few times when navigating London’s width restrictors.

3. Clever storage solutions

We’ve been making use of the HR-V’s clever storage areas during our time with the car. There’s a handy box under the boot floor to stop smaller items from rolling around, and the rear seat bases can flip up so you can fit really tall items, or, as our own Mat Watson found out when he reviewed the car, you can turn your HR-V into a tunnel to walk through.

4. Heated everything

The Honda HR-V is the perfect car for winter, because there are so many heated features. Our car has heated seats and steering wheel to stay toasty on cold days, and there are heating elements under the windscreen wipers so you can defrost them without having to leave the car.

5. Physical buttons

In a world where manufacturers are doing away with physical controls in favour of touchscreens, we’re very grateful to find proper knobs and buttons in our HR-V. The interior is very easy to use on the move, and all the switchgear feels nice and tactile as well.
