Honda HR-V 1.6 i-DTEC Executive
Content
The HR-V name has a long history with Honda. The first hit the roads back in 1999 and even then it was really such a popular crossover, and even then it was the little brother of the larger CR-V, including the all-wheel drive it got from it. ... You could also imagine it with three doors. The first feature of the new HR-V, which hit the roads less than a decade after saying goodbye to the former, has, and the latter no longer. This is not even surprising, because the HR-V has grown a bit, and it can be safely compared to the original CR-V in size.
Inside too, but not quite. It is true that there is a lot of room in the rear seats (besides the heads, there might be a better competitor here), but Honda engineers (or they may be to blame for the marketing) achieved this with a cheap but not the best trick: longitudinal displacement of the front seats is inappropriate. short, which means that for taller drivers driving is not only very little, but somewhere from 190 centimeters (or even less) is also not enough. We rarely have senior members of the editorial board pulling the steering wheel towards the dashboard so that their arms are not bent too much, and their knees still have nowhere to put. It's a shame, because even if the longitudinal offset were about 10 inches more (in the opposite direction, of course), we could still write the same roominess claims at the rear.
This problem is also the HR-V's biggest downside, and while it may (or will) scare off drivers who are too tall, everyone else will be happy. The rest area in the front seats could be slightly longer (for better hip support), but overall they are reasonably comfortable and the seats are pleasantly high as a crossover should be. The sensors in front of the driver are not transparent enough, as the speed sensor is linear and therefore not accurate enough at city speeds, and there is a lot of unused space in its center (where, for example, a digital speed display can be installed). Even the right graph meter is underutilized because its resolution is too low and the data it displays can be better tuned.
Executive means that the Honda Connect infotainment system with its large 17 cm (7-inch) screen (of course touch-sensitive and can recognize multi-finger gestures) also has navigation (Garmin) and runs the Android operating system in the background 4.0.4 .88 - there are still few applications for it. A small minus was attributed to the six-speed manual gearbox lever, in which the skin is sewn so that it burns the driver's palm. The transmission is one of the car's best features: well-calculated, with short, precise and positive gear shift movements. The engine is great too: despite "only" 120 kilowatts (or XNUMX "horsepower"), it feels like it's much more powerful (again, because of the gearbox) and also works great at highway speeds. Better could be only soundproofing not only the engine, but also the bottom of the car. If you blame the engine for too much noise, then its consumption, of course, cannot be considered a minus.
Given its liveliness, we expected fuel consumption to be higher, but our normal round car finished with 4,4 liters per 100 kilometers, which is a commendable number. The test fuel increased the mileage on the highway above six liters, but moderate drivers will easily put up with a figure starting at 5 ... depending on what kind of car it is) fairly accurate. Executive's rich equipment means not only navigation, but also a good array of electronic safety aids: automatic braking at city speeds comes standard on all equipment, and the Executive also has (oversensitive) pre-collision warning, lane departure warning, road traffic. recognition and much more. There is, of course, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, cruise control and a speed limiter. On the other hand, it is interesting that, despite such equipment, the protection of the luggage compartment is nothing more than a net stretched on a wire frame (and not a roller or shelf).
The luggage compartment can, of course, be enlarged by folding down the rear seats, and this is where Honda's rear-folding system has proved its worth. It's really simple, but at the same time (along the flat bottom of the trunk) it also offers the possibility to simply raise part of the seat and thus get ample space between the front and rear seats, which comes in handy for hauling wider items. . So the Honda HR-V turned out to be an interesting and (just not too much variety) useful vehicle that could easily serve as a first family car – but of course you'll have to put up with Honda's prices. Unfortunately, it is not very profitable compared to competitors. But this is a disease (or defect) that we are already used to with this brand.

Overall rating (315/420)
If the HR-V were a little cheaper, it would be much easier to forgive small mistakes.
Exterior (12/15)
The front end of the car is unmistakably Honda, the rear could have been more ingenious in the designers' opinion.
Interior (85/140)
The front is too cramped for taller drivers, and there is plenty of room in the back and trunk. Counters are not transparent enough.
Engine, transmission (54
/ 40)The engine is lively and economical, while the transmission is sporty, fast and precise.
Driving performance (58
/ 95)It's hard to write that the HR-V drives like a Civic, but it is comfortable enough nonetheless and doesn't lean too much.
Performance (29/35)
In practice, the engine runs much faster than one would expect given the numbers on paper.
Security (39/45)
If you don't opt for the most basic version of the HR-V, you will have a good stock of safety accessories for this class.
Economy (38/50)
Hondas aren't cheap, and the HR-V is no different.
