- Small crossovers are big news for UK car buyers, offering the style of an SUV with the practicality and low running costs of a hatchback. The Honda HR-V is one of the latest models to go on sale, so to find out if it’s worth your hard earned, we asked contributing editor Pete Tullin to spend six months living with one.

Really helpful review! One of the few that thinks about normal drivers and not outright performance
Fab review Mr Tullin, really high quality, easy to listen and watch. Appreciate the down to earth facts without the grandstanding others tend to do. Has helped us with our purchase decision. Keep up the awesome reviews Pete and Auto Trader.
I just got a 2017 Honda hrv manual transmission, and I absolutely love it !! Much love from New York !
Great review. Brilliant idea to review over six months - this is so helpful to any prospective buyers.
Thank you for a great review of the Honda HR-V. You covered all the main points and more.
Great review, covered all the main points and more.
Great review. Helped me out alot with a few unanswered questions I had for myself, ie handling and vision.
Great post , I'm considering buying a 2020-2022 plate HR-V and this has given me SO much information.
Thank you.👍
Shut off the "econ" to accelerate faster from stop....
Like the straight forward review. Definitely a great auto especially on the fuel and cargo space.
Love long term reviews
Wow. This is the best review ever with the list of LIKES and DISLIKES. thank you.
Thanks! Your comment is much appreciated.
+autotrader where is the honda hr-v built and manufactured in.
Remember that UK gallons are bigger than US gallons.
Straightforward and helpful review - thank you.
Very detailed and thorough
Good presentation... laid back.. unlike the others who are very forceful.
excellent review, thanks.
A nice and honest review, thanks!
Excellent review covering all the details and issues that can only be gleaned from running a car for an extended time in the real world.
Thank you for commenting, it is great to know the "long term reviews' are hitting the mark. If there is anything you think we should include or can improve on please let us know.
Very sensible review!
I have a civic with DAB and on my unit it seems to change to fm and back to dab seamlessly
Great review, I really like this car.. however my budget only permits me to get City. Oh well, maybe my next purchase.
What's the road / wind/ tyre noise like at motorway speed?
great video
Good review
Such a lovely way this guy told everything. 👏🏽👏🏽
Yes I agree. He also spoke to the average car consumer in this review and I appreciate that.
Really like the HRV can't decide to go for it or an ateca, tiguan or pugeot 3008, quite like the T ROC too
Good review.
Love mine. 2016 going strong.
good review
Our 2016 Accord Hybrid also detects things that aren't there, and in addition to flashing those amber LEDs, it shakes the steering wheel. It's alarming.
Good review despite the fact the Honda service bit reminded me of an Alan Partridge clip
Ah haaaah!!!
I need the taller seating position to see over the snowbanks here. Something you wouldn't think about over there.
I would love to see you review the NEW Peugeot 3008
Miss the review of the comfort level as rear passenger after such mileage and months
How does the brake hold works in a manual? Do u have to put it in neutral for it to work or u have to hold the clutch?
Brake hold just part puts on the brake until you start moving. You need it for hill starts, as with the ebrake on you can hold it on the clutch fine, but to release the ebrake, you have to have your foot on the footbrake.
-Kin stupid as. Just give me a sodding handbrake lever. much nicer
i've got a 1.5 navi hrv, it is gud with loads of space... but i think i suda bought a 1.6 diesel ex... 1.5 is a bit underpowered .. if youre on a motorway youve to press the gas really hard.. but i like the design tho.... niceeeee
you gotta love honda.
I don't get the comments about it being under powered. My 2018 HRV, awd with cvt has all the power I need. The dealers in my area can't keep them in stock.
Yup faster with FWD ruclips.net/video/y0mR9EB4cFs/видео.html
I have a 2019 HR-V Sport and I really like it. Overall a very practical, fun to drive car. Too bad Honda doesn't offer a manual transmission and a small diesel engine the US. If you put a turbocharger on the diesel engine, it really would be a sport model!
Is this the 2016?
In the USA people cry that the 1.8 gasoline 141 hp engine is not enough power. I drove the car a few times and think the power is fine though. But I would like to see the 1.5 turbo engine offered as an option, and they should give it at least a 2000 lbs tow rating too.
It's plenty ruclips.net/video/y0mR9EB4cFs/видео.html
Japan has a 1.5L hybrid version called the Vezel with 160 hp and a 7 speed DCT, it’s pretty quick.
are they all AWD?
top marks bro
Honda should stick its 1.5 Turbo into this thing.
Coming soon with facelifted model. Good news.
OmgSteveJobs they've already had the turbo RS out for a couple years now.
Funny to read this now that that exact engine has tanked a lot of people's trust in Honda's reliability due to its issues with oil dilution. Honda should've stuck to Vtec instead of this turbo rubbish. All these new tiny turbo-charged engines are not more environmentally friendly if they only last half as long as the old ones.
£215 for first oil and filter change, you call that reasonable??.Rip off all round with all Honda garages service prices.
Thomas Wilkins just buy vauxhall and shut it
Thomas Wilkins just change it yourself like everyone else.
I agree....I have a HONDA 2009...I never brought it to the dealer for a "check up" or anything for that matter...I get a 20 US Dollar oil and filter change and I'm good to go....235,000 miles and still going
I had the previous version of the HR-V and I think it looked better. This looks dull.
This car is only rated for 29 mpg combined in the states. (Gas version.)
It depends on how you drive. My best was 42 mpg and worse was 24 in S mode with eco off
its nice vehicles in uk dont need much hp....when you are not driving too fast, you get less injury in an accident
EvendimataE You can drive around in 90% of the world's roads without needing more than 150-200hp
I wish Honda would bring back the Element.
紅色 手排 HRV 沒有免持鑰匙 也沒有 LED 頭燈 尾燈 臺灣 本田 頂級 S 有換檔撥片 而且是CVT 無段變速系統
We owned a 2016 HRV EX AWD and although it wasn't a 'bad' car, it felt extremely underpowered, spartan and loud.
13k miles in 6 months, wow!
Why dont we get manual in America?!
It isn't overburdened with kit?, have you actually looked at the specs. Honda give more standard kit than just about any manufacturer.
50 mpg?They don't mske any manual shifter and now the engine is 1.8 in the USA. Your lucky if you get 35mpg. Are miles in Britain shorter than america's?
Most cars in USA are automatic as Americans are not smart enough drive manuals. Manuals can get higher mpg as you have more control
It needs a 2.0 liter engine, instead of a 1.8, not enough pick up with the 1.8 engine
Use S Mode with eco off ruclips.net/video/y0mR9EB4cFs/видео.html
No diesel in the us. 😿
Wait? Europe/UK can get a diesel engine that gets 50mpg???? In the States you can only get the gasoline engine that gets around 30mpg.
Kerry Wiggins because the government in America won’t allow European engines that get 50 mpg plus into America you can’t even import them yourself
In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 hr-v called as vezel
wish us market got a diesel i would be all over this
Yeah the diesel is good if you do long runs if not you have endless dpf issues, I'm from guernsey so we don't even bother selling the diesel as it's endless problems with the dpf. The petrol is so it much better
and that touch screen your slagging off is £3000 to replace and is awesome, you can turn the collision alert off, and the harsh brakes are normal if you have driven a jazz
Why no CarPlay and Android CarPlay
Use Google Assistant like I do here

Does Hrv has diesel engine?
Hi there, Yes it does, the HR-V in the video is a diesel.
what litre is it's honda hr-v engine.
The original HRV had quite a unique design. This one looks bland. Good review though.
Add a 1.5T and you're good to go!
No need ruclips.net/video/y0mR9EB4cFs/видео.html
are they all crooks at dealerships in the UK too?
Travis Meeks of course man dealer crooks are all over the world.
yeah mon.
I bid that was a $1500 cup of coffee.
does he mean 50 km/gallon? i've never heard 50mpg on this model of any year...
This man called it a Hyundai xD
£215 for an oil change ... ok 🤦♂️
Ive got one, and don't be fooled but the build quality bullshit. Ive had problems with the drivers seat since day one, the car is now a year old and Honda still haven't fixed it.
Shame the styling is so woeful then...
I think the CR-V Is better as It has a bigger boot for example
lol thanks for stating the obvious.
The touchscreen is rubbish and the only deal breaker for me. Just can't live with that thing.
Can't make out much of what you are saying because your already-quiet voice trails off at the end of every sentence....
Ha, ha! He thinks the roads in England are rubbish... What a pleb...
What do you utter at 2'.08" ? , 2 '.15"? , 4'.05" ? , 5.'.07" ? ,
and 4'.04" WTF do you say here?
The biggie 5'.41" " to have our HRV ( Felled?)
Do all people from Newcastle speak like you?
Your intonation is as hard to understand as a foreign dialect !
I had to listen over and over those parts I noted to try and decipher the mumbled
dialect and still could not work out what english words you were using .
I thought maybe Newcastle has its own dialect , its patently obvious its not english ! LOL
The review is good but you need to annunciate better and sort your intonation.
Such a bad review
This review is absolute bollocks. Paid and sponsored.
