The Honda HR-V is a Crossover mini SUV produced by Honda from 1999 to 2006. The HR-V was introduced to cater for the demand for vehicles with the benefits of SUVs (in particular its bigger brother the Honda CR-V) such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, along with the maneuverability, performance and fuel economy of a smaller car (such as the Honda Civic).

See Wikicars' comprehensive Honda HR-V Review.
