However, production ended abruptly in 2005 until it was relaunched in 2015.

After a short absence, the HR-V was relaunched with a new design that made it look more like an SUV. Honda chose to use the Honda Jazz platform to build this HR-V. The curved body and narrow front end made it a popular choice in the market.

Is the Honda HR-V a good family car?
Yes, Honda the HR-V is a comfortable and spacious crossover vehicle that's suitable for family use. While it could get tight if three adults sit in the back seat, there's plenty of room for children to stretch out. There's also a good amount of boot space to hold luggage or groceries.
