“It’s quite bizarre to have such a feisty four-cylinder engine in what is a family crossover, and it’s linked to a sweet, mechanical six-speed manual action that really wouldn’t feel out of place in a good hot hatchback.”

“Practical, spacious and well engineered the Honda HR-V may be, but too little work has been done to make this part of a wider, imaginative and appealing product.”

“It’s hard to work out who the Honda HR-V Sport is aimed at, because traditional HR-V buyers, as in the ones looking for a sensible, reliable and spacious crossover, are better served by a middling non-turbo petrol model for a far more reasonable outlay.”

“Artfully packaged but no oil painting, then, this is a solid effort which somehow fails to blow the frock up in any particular department.”

“The Honda HR-V is a very good family car. Unfortunately, the high price tag limits its appeal from an economic standpoint, while individuals and families seeking a little more driving fun would be better served by some of the HR-V’s less expensive rivals.”

“Owners are cynical about the Honda HR-V 1.6-litre diesel’s economy, suggesting it’s capable of up to 60mpg. Some way off the official figure, but still very good for its size.”

“In the new HR-V Honda has created a solid, competent compact crossover that is more versatile than most of the competition. Its conservatism and practicality will probably make the HR-V more of a success this time round.”

“The HR-V Sport’s curious mix of comfort and pace means it’s rather idiosyncratic, but its quirky character might appeal to SUV buyers fed up of having to accept a firm ride as the payoff for a potent petrol engine. If you’re after a genuinely exciting small SUV, though, this isn’t it.”

“The Honda HR-V has a spacious interior by class standards and an absolutely enormous boot. It’s also well equipped, but it does look quite pricey against the best rivals in this class.”
