Honda says it combines coupé looks, MPV practical- ity and small car efficiency. It fits the brief of being compact by being based on the brand- -new Jazz super- mini platform but has the higher ride height and taller stance to give the more lofty driving position that buy- ers demand. It’s also strictly two-wheel-drive only, reflect- ing that few will every at- tempt to take it off-road as well as helping to cut fuel consumption. There’s one petrol and one diesel engine available, with the 1.5-litre petrol offering up a sprightly 128bhp. It’s a smooth and sweet-spinning engine that in the Honda tradition is happy to rev, al- though it doesn’t need to be thrashed to deliver brisk ac- celeration. It’s also capable of impressive frugality, with a claimed 49.6mpg combined and 134g/ km of C02. Elsewhere the HR— V de- mands very little from the driver with light, accu- rate steering and a snappy gearchange. The comfért-bi ased suspension also does a fine job of filtering out road imperfections, but should you feel the need to press on it is surprisingly able and happy with being thrown around a little. The entry-level S model gets its fair share of kit with DAB radio, climate control, cruise control, electric heated mir- rors, 16-inch alloy wheels, hill-start assist and an elec- tronic parking brake to name a few The HR-V is small enough not to be a handful but big enough to be practical, which means it will suit a broad spread of buyers. It's ideal for smaller families, has the versatility with its clever rear seats to suit an- noying active types with their tons of kit but is also comfortable and sufficiently undemanding to serve older buyers well. Young single- tons might prefer something more racy, but they’ll soon want something better at carrying people and kit.
