The HR-V is Honda’s new entry into Europe’s fast-growing small SUV segment.

Honda says the HR-V features a centre fuel tank location to create one of the “most spacious and adaptable small SUV cabins”. Honda “Magic Seats” make use of this versatility by enabling a wide range of seating configurations, it says, with the ability to fold the second row seats completely flat for added cargo space.
This rival for the Nissan Juke, Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Ford EcoSport was previewed by the Urban SUV Concept, which premiered at the Detroit auto show in January 2013. The vehicle for North American markets, the HR-V, will be manufactured alongside the third generation Fit at Celaya in Mexico. The local launch will be later in the second half of 2014. The HR-V for Europe follows in 2015.
Along with the Fit/Jazz and City, the production version of the Urban SUV concept is based on its Global Compact Series platform.
